I love it when trainers get it.

I have worked with trainers for over 25 years since opening my first gym. Trainers are unique bunch. Most exhibit the caring personality traits like those in the teaching and nursing professions. Many are highly educated. So when they encounter something new in the fitness industry, they usually approach with both optimism and a healthy dose of skepticism.

Who can blame trainers for a little skepticism? When our industry has seen every incarnation of ab system/machine gimmicks, outrageous claims and fad diets, caution should always be the first thing exercised when checking out something new. Both FitWall® and Vertical Training™ are new. Burning through the sugars and getting into fat burning range in 5 minutes is new.

But when trainers get on the FitWall, all skepticism is gone.

Just a few minutes of the 14 Fundamental Exercises and watch their faces. I'm certain that it's the exact same smile as when they rode their bike for the first time, climbed the rope in gym class to the top or swam the length of the pool for the first time. A really BIG smile. The trainers are having the time of their lives. They totally get it! Trainers experience what FitWall® can do for them and their clients and they are psyched to see what's next. They listen to founder Doug Brendle attentively, but are thinking: "When can we get back on the FitWall®?"

Then it's time to Launch™. No, not lunch, Launch™.

The trainer gets on the FitStep™, squats deep on one leg and launches skyward while holding onto the FitBar™ at about chest height. That's the Launch™. Talk about fun. And if clients don't have fun, they won't succeed in their long-term goals. FitWall® is definitely fun. There's that smile again.

When trainers spend a week or two on the FitWall®, they say things like, blew my mind…best workout in a short period of time…so many variations…tremendous fun factor…from skeptic to enthusiast…train clients in half the time. Watch and see for yourself.
