Cut the Fitness Industry Confusion and Learn the True Systems for Having a Great Life and Career as a Trainer
Personal training is a great career, but the burnout rate is so high because most trainers don’t know the simple, everyday things they can do to make their lives better while also producing a better training product. If you’ve been wondering about how to do that, Strength Faction is what you’ve been looking for…

Get for yourself what you give to your clients…

Hey there Crunch Trainers!
It’s Todd, one of the Strength Faction co-founders.
By now you know that training is a great job that earns you money and is a lot of fun, but there’s more to it than just writing up a workout every day you see your client.
In fact, it’s that ‘more to it part’ that helps us generate success and live the life we want in the fitness industry.
But even though we all have a sneaking suspicion that there’s more to training than knowing exercises and writing workouts…no one has ever put together a comprehensive coaching program to help trainers fill in all the gaps that lead to fitness industry success.
Here’s the crazy thing…we’re all essentially facing the same problems!
And that’s why we created Strength Faction!
Earlier in my career I was working like crazy and not taking care of myself like I should have been. I was so committed to trying to fill my schedule that I completely disregarded my own training. My partners, Chris Merritt and Mike Connelly, worked themselves right into the same problem. All of our own health and fitness started to suffer.
We needed systems for every part of our careers—keeping ourselves organized, writing programs, coaching our clients, and expanding our reach to build our business—and we needed them badly.
So, we started creating them. And it took YEARS.
But since we did, we’ve been able to grow businesses while also having more time for ourselves and living a better quality of life as trainers.
(And now we have a system that lets us program for ANY kind of client…and get them results.)
We saw the void in our industry…no one was helping other trainers put all of the pieces together, so we had to share what we were doing.
And that lead to Strength Faction…

We walked some seriously tough roads, but now we’re living the lives we want, working the way we want to, and enjoying the hell out of it all as we do it.
We’ve taken the lessons that we’ve learned over our careers and built them into the Strength Faction curriculum—helping hundreds of trainers from all over the world to improve their quality of life in the fitness industry while also sharpening their skills to get better results for their clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Strength Faction and why has it helped so many personal trainers?
Strength Faction is a professional and personal development coaching program for fitness industry coaches…that cuts out the fluff and gets down to business with what trainers really need to be successful in this industry. It’s an online, experiential coaching program that’s supported by a great community format. It’s 17 weeks long and covers four main modules—personal development, programming, coaching, and expanding on all of the other skills the modern personal trainer needs like writing and video.
Q: I’m an experienced trainer, can I still benefit from being a Strength Faction Member?
The short answer—yes. We know that you’re after what works, not some information that’s supposed to be “cutting edge.” And what works is what matters for every experience level. We take practical knowledge from our “in the trenches” work and use it to build the Strength Faction curriculum…giving you real, immediately applicable information that you can use in your setting.
The Strength Faction community is also a great way for experienced coaches to expand their network and learn from other folks that are in the trenches every day.
Q: What if I’m new to personal training? Is Strength Faction for me?
It sure is! The Strength Faction curriculum is designed to meet members at their current experience level.

Joining the Strength Faction community early in your training career will provide you a solid, and seriously connected, network to answer your questions, cut the confusion, and help you earn success.
Q: I’m a commercial gym trainer, and you guys seem to own a semi-private gym, can I benefit from Strength Faction?
Absolutely! In fact, one of your Strength Faction coaches, Mike Connelly, is a fitness director at a commercial gym in Chicago and would be a great guide to help you. (We’re also working on a commercial gym specific curriculum.) Besides that, the personal development, programming, coaching, and professional expansion lessons that you’ll experience as a Faction member aren’t specific to any setting—they are principle-based so you can apply them in your world and with your clients.
