Jay, Outstanding post! You got me very motivated to continue to keep kicking ass and never quit regardless of my age. I am grateful for your coaching, mentoring and friendship. Your techniques, Renegade’s atmosphere and all the members who feed off of each other have made me stronger, faster and more humble. We have tremendous, talanted and dedicated people training at Renegade. You must keep the selection process just the way you have it. We can not train with people who want to just get in a workout or do just enough to get by. We train winners and warriors at Renegade. People who truly want to survive and thrive in the circle of life. See you soon brother.

lol I tried the no sales pitch approach,trying to get only dedicated people to sign up. Maybe thats part of why I only got four sales in 2 1/2 months….but there is something that kinda tears your heart out about fat people on treadmills that never seem to lose any weight at all and yet keep going along like hamsters on a wheel…

After reading “you must have the wrong guy” i decided to read on with more of Jason’s Blogs and not only am i truly inspired by some of the words he articulates but I’m also scared shitless of the man now, I am traveling to Jersey middle of this year and hope to even just sneak a peak through a window!

You’ve got to know who you are and who your clients ought to be. If you know someone isn’t going to be a good fit for your style, or if you know they have no chance at success in your program, do both of yourselves a favor a cut it off before it starts. Hard to do when you want a paying client but it’s best in the long run.

HEY Jay I am new to your site. I have been training at various health clubs for 6 years. I have a BA in Behavioral Science and have been working in the mental health field for the last nine years, and let me tell you that I am TIRED of not living up to my potiential. I made the decision recently to start my own fitness company, but i am quickly realizing that without the proper capital and dedicated clientel it is rough. I writing to you because i share your philosiphy on traing and no toleration for slackers. I don’t want to sell people training I want to sell them results. After going trhough your site i realized that it is a must that i be your understudy. I want to know everything that you know about strength and conditioning, and whatever else that you can teach me about the fitness industry. I want to be the best so i need to lean from the best point blank! Please let me know what it would take for me to make this happen, I have a two year old daughter that needs to know that her father did all that he could do to achieve his dreams. When i read your Bio i knew that some way some how that i have to work with you. I just want to learn everything that i can from you. I don’t want to give up and that’s why i’m writing you, because i also live eat and breathe this stuff. Please give me a shot, i am a hard worker who just wants to learn because, where there is knowledge there is power.

I definitely puked after my first time lifting at Renegade. But at least I made it to the parking lot first. I really had no idea what lifting meant and I sure didn’t wear chucks for squat days. Now…I love it and there is truly nothing else that compares to a Renegade workout. NOTHING. Totally worth the train ride from NY.

PS – One request….can you please bring back the glute ham raise!!!!! ahahahaa.

Jami, you could check out Cressey Performance:

http://www.cresseyperformance.com/

They have an indoor prowler/sled area, so I assume it can’t be that bad (I haven’t been there).

HTH,
Dave.

Thanks a lot, Dave. I appreciate that.

Gubernatrix, it does feel pretty good and I’m happy that people love Renegade so much. Like Mel said, everyone becomes family in there. The ones who don’t are the ones who don’t last.

Lauren, that’s so great to hear. Glad you feel that way. We miss not having you around all the time now.

Rob, that is the only way to get one of the camo tee’s. To perform at a high level for an extended time period.

Understood on the Tees.

So… You’re saying my only chance is to make a trip to NJ to earn it?
