I hope you have all had a great year and can now make time to take stock and be with your family. Apologies for the short notice, but I have CANCELLED TODAY'S CALL. I have to run a lot of Xmas related errands and I assume most of you are busy enough. However, I've renamed next weeks calls to..... "2026 GOAL SETTING!" I love setting goals, and I believe it's the best way to get clarity on your 2026 plan. Without goals, it's easy to get overwhelmed and get busy doing things that don't work. With clear goals and actions, you will know exactly what to do, and greatly increase your chance of success! So join me next week to set your goals and create your plan for success at 10AM EST Tues 30th December here: https://www.skool.com/hib-free/calendar?eid=0263b75180744330a00d17ec40eeced4

Hello all, I have a young orthopedic surgeon & wife couple who’ve started HIT training with us at Evolved Strength in Calgary AB Canada. They’ve been loving it & want to continue HIT when he returns to the Cambridge area for a job next April-May. Can anyone refer some great HIT studios in that area for me to pass on?

Hit 275 yesterday! If you don’t have a Google page you’re leaving $ on the table. I average 1-2 new clients a month who come to me cause my reviews. The record is 15 in a month doing nothing, the prospects just reading what previous clients have said.

Forgive me for self-aggrandising for a moment... - Sold over $10M in contract revenue during my IT sales career. - Founded the HIB Podcast (formerly Corporate Warrior): 542 episodes, 1.3M+ downloads, and a 4.85 rating from 126 reviews. - Co-founded Optima Strength and sold 76 virtual and in-person training memberships at $376/mo average. - Recruited and developed a world-class trainer who still delivers exceptional retention and referrals to this day. - Helped 41 strength training businesses add $12,000–$58,480/month in revenue (that I can verify). And on top of all that… I have a wonderful wife and two gorgeous children who bring me more joy than anything else in the world. Next up: Helping 5 personal strength training business owners add $12,000 to $58,480/mo to their business. Click here to apply.

When we have a new client increase strength on a movement substantially (+-40%), we will have them do their initial weight they started with right after their set. They are often very happily surprised and remark on it later. Granted lifting a lighter weight after a heavier weight makes the lighter weight feel even lighter (post-activation potentiation I’ve read) but it really drives the progress home. Here is an example where a client started with 140lbs on a movement and just did a set of 240lbs. Right after doing that set, we say stay there, change the weight and then have them do a few reps of 140lbs. Others may already do this or something like it but for those that don’t…might be useful, fun and maybe add to retention.
