What NPE Members Are Doing (new video)
New video from NPE Member Shana Ross (see the story below!)
This morning we’ll all moving a little slow after yesterday’s Fitness Marketing Explosion webinar.
Was a big showing (as always) and today’s clean up day.
Then going to get a little rest before Eric and I fly to Boston tomorrow night for this weekend’s MEGA TRAINING event.
The last couple week’s have been so busy here, I’m overdue in sharing this with you.
Here’s the (back)story:
Last year we started an annual “NPE Member of the Year” contest, and all the top members sent in packages for review. Each shared examples and stories of how much they’re grown and why they should be chosen for the award.
This year, since we’re bringing everyone together live for the MEGA TRAINING event in Boston, we thought we’d run the contest a little different.
We invited members to submit packages as usual, but then Eric, Dick, and I had the grueling task of sifting through those packages to choose 5 finalists to present LIVE on stage Saturday night at the event.
This year, the members will vote and choose the NPE member of the year.
And I’ll tell you what, the competition is tough!
Picking 5 finalists out of the 13 LARGE packages we received was very hard.
But picking a winner out of these 5 is going to be even tougher!
First let me thank the 13 members who submitted packages for the contest:
1. Billy Beck II, BB3 Fitness, Weston, FL (Gold Plus)
2. Brad Scott, Melbourne, FL (Gold Plus)
3. Coach RB Berry, Dare To Be Fit, Oceanside, CA (VIP)
4. Conor Kelly, Evolution Fitness, Willowdale, ON Canada (Gold Plus)
5. Ginny Grupp, AlaskaFit, Girdwood, AK (Gold)
6. Kennett Washington, Healing Strength PT, Charlotte, NC (Gold Plus)
7. Mike Stare, Spectrum Fitness Consulting, Beverly, MA (Gold Plus)
8. Scott Allen, Fitness Together, Maple Grove, MN (Gold Plus)
9. Shana Ross, Shana Ross Fitness, Houston, TX (Platinum)
10. Shannon Willits, Pilates Sarasota, Sarasota, FL (Gold Plus)
11. Shayne Cahill, Progress Personal Training, Spring Hill, FL (Gold Plus)
12. Tony Maslan, Custom Fit PT, Evansville, IN (Platinum)
13. Vic Magary, Metro Martial Arts & Fitness, Columbus, OH (Gold Plus)
The 5 finalists chosen are (in no particular order):
- Coach RB Berry, Dare To Be Fit, Oceanside, CA (VIP)
- Conor Kelly, Evolution Fitness, Willowdale, ON Canada (Gold Plus)
- Mike Stare, Spectrum Fitness Consulting, Beverly, MA (Gold Plus)
- Shana Ross, Shana Ross Fitness, Houston, TX (Platinum)
- Shannon Willits, Pilates Sarasota, Sarasota, FL (Gold Plus)
To give you an idea just how well our members are doing right now (we’re NOT making this stuff up) I thought I’d share one of the videos sent in for the contest.
They are ALL good… but this one is really good.
Shana’s a brand new studio owner, and only 1 year in business she’s just exploded. And she’s built a serious foundation to springboard her into ‘doubling’ that success for year 2.
Will have some great pictures (and video) from the weekend I’m sure. And will post with results on the contest next week.
Have a great day,
Sean

Just one word - WOW!

AWESOME! Truly inspiring. As a new studio owner and someone who has gone through the Deep Core program, it is encouraging to see the results I am getting with just that system. Seeing Shana put all the other courses (Duplicator, Auto-Closer, etc.) to work and grow her business gives me even more motivation to implement those other programs. I am currently in the Auto-Closer class, and as the close rates go up so to will my need for good staff. I hope to be half as good of a studio owner as Shana. Great post Sean. Thanks for reinforcing all my hard work. Its good to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel and beyond. Keep Growing Shana!
