WHAT’S UP! WE’RE CHRIS MERRITT, MIKE CONNELLY, AND TODD BUMGARDNER, THE FOUNDERS AND LEAD COACHES OF STRENGTH FACTION.

.

Do you want to be a successful fitness coach that lives out their purpose helping a lot of people live better lives…while also making a living that make YOUR LIFE awesome?
 
We’re talking:
  • Live out your purpose and have an amazing career in the fitness industry.
  • Mike the kind of money that gives you the freedom to live the kind of life that YOU want to live.
 
YOU can do all of that.
 
How do we know? Well…we’ve done it.
 
And we’ve helped other coaches just like you do it, too.
 
That’s because we, and the other coaches we’ve guided, have overcome the BIGGEST PROBLEMS that coaches face in the fitness industry.
 
These are the problems that hold most coaches back from living out their purpose and gaining the freedom that they want…(and ultimately causes them to leave the industry).
 
What are the problems?
 
    • Not knowing how to manage one’s self and time effectively.
    • Wasting too much time on program design because you’re not sure if your programs are actually going to work.
    •  Lack of a coaching system that makes teaching clients easy while also making them see the value in staying with you as a client.
    •  No systems for generating new clients leads and managing the business of fitness.
    • Not having real mentorship and guidance to help you implement the systems that every fitness coach needs to be successful.
 
If you don’t have solutions to these problems, the sad truth is you probably won’t reach your potential in the fitness industry.
 
It sucks, but it’s true.
 
We know you don’t want that to happen…and we don’t want that to happen to you either!
 
That’s why we created the Strength Faction Coaching Program—a 17-week mentorship and education program that will give you the tools you need to create the life and career that you want in the fitness industry.

The Strength Faction Coaching Program is based on the 5 Keys to Fitness Industry Lifestyle Success

  1. A Vision for Your Life and Career: You have to know where you’re going to know what actions are important. Crafting a clear vision that gets you excited is not only important for directing your actions but also for keeping you committed during challenging times.

  2. Time Management System: Second is having a system for managing yourself and how you spend your time. It’s how you bring your vision into action. This is a big point of struggle for most trainers.

  3. Program Design System: Third is a system for consistently designing results driven training programs. Trainers waste more time overcomplicating program design than anywhere else.

  4. Coaching System: The fourth part is having a system for consistently teaching and coaching your clients to perform the movements they need to be successful—while consistently providing them a great experience. And also having a system that helps them declare and act toward, and achieve their goals.

  5. Connection To Other Like-Minded Professionals: When we aren’t connected to other people that understand what we’re going through we feel like we’re alone on an island…and that crushes lives and careers.

.

To help you discover these keys, and use them to create the career and life you want, we created a community-based education and mentorship program…

Introducing the Strength Faction Coaching Program

We’re going to spend 17 weeks unpacking each of these key components and you’re going to learn exactly what you need to do to get the training career and life you want.

If you’re determined to be that coach that actually changes lives while having a successful career, let’s get started.

Fitness Business

Here’s a fact that successful coaches have to accept: fitness is business. To impact the most people, and reach the financial success and freedom that you want, business systems are absolutely crucial. Stay in the know with fitness business systems and you can create the long-term success you’re after. Get the guidance you need to build the business systems that support your success and your life.

Listen, it’s easy for us to sit here and tell you how awesome the Strength Faction Coaching Program is and how it can transform your life and career.

The results of the hundreds of coaches that we’ve mentored since 2015 speak for themselves.

"Not only did the Faction help me start taking care of myself mentally and physically, the extra coaching helped me see that I wasn’t on the path I wanted to be on. Thanks to my Strength Faction Family I was able to leave a place I didn’t want to be and start my own private training studio and I love where I’m at, what I’m doing, and where I’m going."

"By far the biggest benefit to Strength Faction is the amazing community. When I joined I was super shy and didn’t have a lot of industry connections outside my immediate area. People were so warm and welcoming, which made it easier for me to build professional relationships and friendships. No matter what problem I’m dealing with, whether it’s directly related to work or something in my personal life, I know someone I’ve met in Faction that I can reach out to for help, advice, and support."

"One of the biggest benefits I’ve gotten from Strength Faction is feeling less stress because I don’t have to figure out everything on my own. This is huge. Being able to know that the systems we are building and the business we are running will continue to grow with consistent work. What I love most about the Faction is having a place to ask questions that’s you can’t ask others in your life because they just don’t know. Being in a group of like-minded individuals to share successes, be inspired by other ideas, and who know the struggles of owning and operating a fitness business."

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—self management, program design, coaching, and fitness business.

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. And, to make sure you’re thriving in the Faction, you’ll be assigned a Strength Faction mentor—an experienced coach that’s thrived in applying the Faction to their careers—to guide you through the Strength Faction process and help you navigate any issues you might be having in your own training or in your career. 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, 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 will be a great guide to help you. Besides that, the self management, program design, coaching, and fitness business 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.

Q: I’m a gym owner, I’d like to sign my staff up for Strength Faction, can I do that?

Yes! And we’ll even offer you a group rate for you and your staff.

Q: What if Strength Faction isn’t the right fit for me?

If during the first month of the Strength Faction semester you decide that the Faction isn’t for you, we’ll let you move on. We know the Faction changes peoples lives, we’ve seen it happen time and time again. But if for some weird reason it doesn’t seem like the right thing for you, you won’t get push-back from us! No hoops to jump through—and if you feel we didn’t provide any value, we’ll even provide a 100% refund.

Q: What’s the Strength Faction cancellation policy?

During the first 30 days of your Strength Faction membership you can cancel at any time be removed from monthly automatic billing. After the first 30 days, you are enrolled in the current Strength Faction semester until the end and will be billed each month until the completion of the semester. You may, however, at any time notify that you will not be continuing on past the current Strength Faction semester. At the completion of each Strength Faction semester you are automatically re-enrolled unless you notify that you do not want to continue as a member. It’s set up this way because most folks choose to do more than one round of Strength Faction (we have some folks that have been members for three + years) and we want to make the process easier for you. To notify us of cancellation, you must email Todd Bumgardner directly at Todd@beyondstrengthperformance.com before the close of business on the final day of the final week of the current Strength Faction semester. The 30-day cancellation policy renews at the start of each Strength Faction semester no matter how long you’ve been a Strength Faction Member.

IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES IN YOUR TRAINING CAREER AND LIFE YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT

And even if you’re hesitating to sign up for a 17-week coaching program, think about it like this:

If you don’t do anything, you’ll probably stay stuck in the same place.

Enroll now, because the worst thing that happens is you get some great coaching and education from guys with over 40 years of fitness industry experience, connect with great trainers from all over the world, and you can walk away knowing what you need to do to take your life and career to the next level.
