Success Story #1 from the Phillipines

Hi Craig, Mabuhay! Greeting!

My name is Audie Salvador from Philippines. Turbulence Training change my life and perspective in life.  Before I downloaded your
ebook, i’ve been following your books and articles.

To cut it short, it changed my life completely. I was an obese before. I weighted 100 kg, now after training hard but safe I dropped my  weight to 70kg and maintaining it. Now i feel comfortable and confident about myself.

Of course with a change lifestyle and eating habits. Now i also recommend it to all my friends here and abroad. I also sharing some
important tips in my friends in Facebook.  And many of my friends way back in high school, are very much surprise that i look younger my age ( im already 40) that i still managed to take care of myself and my body as well.

Thank you Craig and more power to you.

Regards
–
Audie Salvador

And Success Story #2:

Craig

Just wanted to say thanks for your life-changing TT program. I am 6 ft tall, almost 49 yes old and work in an office. I weighed 257lbs on Jan 1. I bought your program and managed to procrastinate doing anything until early Feb.

Started at the beginner level as you recommended. This week I began your original TT workout. I now weigh 205 and have gone from squeezing into a size 42 pants to comfortably wearing size 36. I have found that this is much more than just losing weight.

My marriage has been strengthened through a vastly improved love life, my self worth has significantly improved, and my overall mindset has changes to where I welcome any and all challenges.

Thanks for helping to change more than just my body. Know that you are positively affecting more lives than just your customers.

Matthew E.

Congratulations to our two winners.

Please send in your story, or if you are new, make sure you take before and after photos with your results. And think about joining the 12th TT Transformation Contest that will start in September.

To your success,

Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Certified Turbulence Trainer

My name is Darragh Holland. I live in Clones Co Monaghan, Ireland. At junior school, I got the nickname ‘Dutchy’ which has stuck with me ever since. Having always played a lot of sport, with Gaelic Football being my main sport, I have also played some Soccer, American Football and Muay Thai.

I think I was about 14 when I told my mother, I want a six-pack. She thought I meant of beer, so she wasn’t to impress at all. In my teens, I would have been working out in my room, just doing the basics of push-ups, sit-ups, bicep curls, etc. This led to me doing a Sports & Exercise Degree at University, which really got me interested in the research aspect of fitness and health.

Apart from the partying, some of the topics learned at University were Nutrition, Sports Analysis, Biomechanics, Anatomy & Physiology. Like most people, after college I was unsure of what direction I was going. After realizing what certs were required to qualify as a Gym Instructor, I obtained the certs and got a job in the local gym.

CRAIG BALLANTYNE: That’s a great attitude. Tell us about one of your best success stories and 3 factors to their success.

DARRAGH HOLLAND: There have been a few but I am currently training a man, using Turbulence Training methods of course, who has lost 24 lbs in just 6 weeks. I hope to have before and after photos on my website by week 12.

I would put it down to these 3 factors:

1) Belief in me and the program: There is so much information out there and people are reading so much rubbish that they always want to jump on the next bandwagon. I find that the people who get the best results find a method that suits them and they stick with it.

2) Determination: The people with the attitude of “I have got to make this happen” will do better than the “I’ll give it a go” people. You must really go for it and push through the bad days. The reason most people fail is they give up far too easily. Try to figure out your why and it will be much easier

3) Goals: Your why should help you to set your goals. Do you have a target weight or a target fitness level. Have this as your ultimate goal with short term goals set to help get there. People who do this generally have more focus and accomplish more.

CRAIG BALLANTYNE: Awesome. Very proud of you and your client. What type of nutrition plan do you and your clients follow? And what’s your favorite nutrition tip?

DARRAGH HOLLAND: I like to keep the nutrition aspect simple. Eat 5/6 meals a day every 2/3 hours. Again people love to confuse nutrition and talk about counting calories and can I eat before bed etc.

The problem with 90% of people that have weight to lose is the processed rubbish they are eating. Fast food, bars, crisps, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, the list goes on and on. Avoid these foods and stick to clean, natural foods such as fruit, veg, eggs, beans, chicken, fish, nuts etc, while drinking plenty of water. So my simple tip would be to eat clean and be lean. Avoid the rubbish and eat small and often.

CRAIG BALLANTYNE: What are your favorite methods & exercises in Turbulence Training?

DARRAGH HOLLAND: The time efficiency of Turbulence Training has to be the biggest quality. The benefits of using multi-joint exercises gives the most bang for your buck while staying away from bodybuilding isolation exercises that are so common in many workouts.

CRAIG BALLANTYNE: What is your favorite workout from the TT members site?

DARRAGH HOLLAND: As a trainer I love the introductory and beginner workouts. When a person comes to you who hasn’t exercised in years it is vitally important to give them a good workout without making them not fit to walk for a week.

These 2 workouts are just nicely balanced to get them back to exercising so you can so you can really push them on at a later stage. This is a major factor that I think a lot of trainers miss.

CRAIG BALLANTYNE: Interesting. Wouldn’t have expected you to pick those, but it’s a really intelligent choice. Definitely shows the care and concern you have for your clients. So how can TT readers get hold of you?

DARRAGH HOLLAND: My website is www.dutchysfitness.com, while I also have some workouts on youtube at www.youtube.com/dutchysfitness and facebook at www.facebook.com/dutchysfitness.

CRAIG BALLANTYNE: Thanks Darragh. Any final words of wisdom?

DARRAGH HOLLAND: Pick a programme and believe in it but more importantly believe in yourself, believe it can be done if you commit to it.

Yesterday I interviewed John “Roman” Romaniello for our TT Certification Client Attraction newsletter, and we talked about how to become the most popular trainer in your gym as well as your city, plus how to get published in major magazines like Men’s Health, Men’s Fitness, and Shape.

It was another excellent Client Attraction interview. Roman even gave me a copy of his “introduction” letter that he sends to all editors of new publications. This issue will be sent out to Certified TT Trainers next week.

But first, I want to share 7 powerful words of wisdom with you. And I got thinking about them on both Roman’s call yesterday, and after I read this success story email from TT Trainer, Mike Whitfield (Mike was the 4th trainer ever to be certified with TT.)

I’m as proud of Mike’s success as I have been with any TT Transformation from our contests.

Check this out…(and the 7 powerful words of wisdom below):

*****************************************************************************************

Hey Craig, I know you get alot of emails, so I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for all this information and encouragement through both InternetIndependence.com and the TT Certification. This is the most excited I have ever been about my life and vision.

My drive and passion ever since I’ve become TT certified have gotten me up as early as 4am on a regular basis to get things done and taking action. In just the last 2 weeks, I have put together a new website along with a web designer (he’s also a client…bartering rocks!), written a new opt-in report, relocated my boot camp from a small suite to a large high school gym, and finally submitted to become a LLC.

Here is why I’m telling you this:

I had to step out of my comfort zone and ask the high school athletic director who goes to my gym about using his school for my boot camps.

You talked about having to step out of your comfort zone to make progress…so I just did it!  It was actually pretty easy.  I just had to simply ask. You talked about how something doesn’t have to be perfect in order to share it. I started an E-book Fitness program almost a year and a half ago.

In April, I put in more work and effort in 2 weeks than I did for close to a year prior on it.  It wasn’t perfect, but I knew it would help people anyway.  So, to fix that, I offered a free lifetime upgrade to anyone who purchased it for when I release a new version (which will be even better). I launched it through Paypal.

I had 3 clients submit to the TT Transformation Contest and they are doing great.  Whether they win or not, they are making transformations so they win either way in my book. I did this thanks to the TT Certification Hot Sheet.  Gotta take action!

I kinda (slang word, I know) did my fitness career “backwards”, but in my eyes it’s forming the way I like it. I did a boatload of education before I did any real marketing. I read books and followed people like you and Alwyn Cosgrove (more fitness books/e-books than I can count on my hands).

I continue to educate myself because in this industry, it is a must.

My next goals are:

1) To release my first product through ClickBank.

It hit me just last night. As you know, my favorite part of writing programs and “tagging on” to TT programs are creative workout finishers. I’m applying your “Online Second Paycheck” System to make it happen.  I got up at 4am this morning to put together the outline.

I’ll be honest – the exposure you gave me on your blog inspired me to do this!  I’m ecstatic about reading your upcoming blogs about the finishers.

2) Continue to post at least 1 article per week – no matter what, no excuses

3) Continue to increase my Boot Campers… I went from about a 600 sq. ft suite to a huge basketball court/gym. More Boot Campers = More Transformations

Sorry for the long email… but I do appreciate everything you do, and I sincerely appreciate the exposure through Turbulence Training. I am very humbled by it.  The TT certification is above and beyond my expectations and I’m thrilled to be a part of your team.

Have a great weekend,

Mike Whitfield, Certified Turbulence Trainer http://www.CrankTraining.com

• 1-on-1 and Group Training

Awesome. I’m proud of Mike and thankful for his help on the march to our mission of 1 Million Transformations. Every day we get closer – and thanks to you too. You can join the TT Certification and our 1 Million Mission here:

The powerful words we’ve learned from Mike’s story are:

Take Action. Just Ask.  So simple. So powerful

Now about those remaining 3 words…they are: Never Give Up.

The most successful people I know do not take “no” for an answer. They find a way to get what they want. During our call yesterday, Roman explained his strategy for getting published in Men’s Health, and it relied heavily on simply never taking “No” for an answer.

It reminded me of when I first started coaching Isabel De Los Rios, the author of the best- selling “Diet Solution Program” (that often sells over 1,000 copies per day). When I had that first Mastermind coaching call with Isabel, I knew she was going to be a success because of her attitude.

There was nothing that was going to get in her way. Come he– or high water, she was going to succeed. I’ll never forget that call.  So take these powerful words and incorporate them into your daily plan.

Take Action. Just Ask. Never Give Up.

To your success,

I love hearing these success stories. Let me know about yours.

Every month we go through the success story emails from TT members and award a 1-year Platinum TT Membership to our top readers.

This month, we’re giving away two Platinum Memberships (worth $197) to Emily and Neil.

Here are their motivational and inspirational stories.

Emily’s Sister Lost 19 Pounds with Turbulence Training, and Now She’s Trying TT Too and Has Lost 16 Pounds in ONLY 5 Weeks

“When my sister first told me about the TT program, I was somewhat skeptical of the results she was claiming…UNTIL I SAW HER!

In six short weeks, my uncoordinated and out of shape (not anymore) sister had lost nearly 19 pounds! So, I decided to give it a try. I am excited to say that I have been using Turbulence Training for about 5 weeks now and I can already see a noticeable change in my body!

Several years ago I hit 190 lbs (I am a 5’1” female) and decided that it was time to get fit. I worked hard and eventually fell in love with long- distance running. I got down to around 140 lbs but gained some back after several years of marriage. Before I knew it, I was at 155 lbs again.

I am an ultra-marathon runner and have trained for and run several races exceeding 30 miles, yet I could not lose the extra fat.

So far, Turbulence Training has enabled me to lose 16 lbs. of fat in 5 weeks and I have lost 6 inches off my waist!

Now I am kicking myself for not taking “before” photos. I still have about 14 lbs to go before I reach my goal weight of 125, but I am never bored with the workouts and it has propelled my long-distance running to a new level as my speed is increasing.

If you think the Beginner and Intermediate workouts look to easy, think again. Even after just completing a full marathon in under 4 hours last fall, the beginner workout gave me a run for my money!

I am looking forward to reaching my goal weight and continuing to set strength and fitness goals. Thank you TT!!!”

And Neil is

“I wanted to take an extra minute to say thanks for everything you do to help all of us out here trying to get in shape. The help and motivation I’ve gotten from you in so many aspects is immeasurable.

I even found your hotel room bodyweight workouts, that are a big help for when I’m traveling (usually up to your town of Toronto).

Here’s my quick, unsolicited story: I am 40 years old, 6′ 3″ tall, and have been sitting at around 230 pounds for the past 10 years.

It’s the classic story, prior to turning 30, I had always had “high metabolism” so I could eat whatever I wanted, and didn’t go to the gym on a regular basis, but still maintained a healthy weight.

However, at some point, after graduating college and getting a 9 to 5 office job, a switch was thrown somewhere, and now, here I sit.

There are a multitude of reasons why I have finally decided to lose my extra “baggage,” but the proverbial straw was when I was recently traveling, and my cell phone kept popping off my belt clip.

I quickly realized that it was every time I bent down for whatever reason, my gut was knocking it off.

To add to that, my father just had to have another angioplasty in January, due to some heart issues. He has always been a legendary eater. When he was younger, his nickname was “Grocery Store,” because that’s where all the food would go.

When he turned 50, he was diagnosed with diabetes. This, combined with his eating habits, put him in the hospital when he was about 57. He had to have a 7-bypass heart surgery, because of the terrible condition of his arteries. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop his eating habits, and I didn’t change mine at the time either.

But after his hospital visit early this year, all of that changed for me. I looked into the faces of my two young children, and realized that I didn’t want them to see me lying in the hospital anytime soon. So here I am.

Since getting started 5 weeks ago on Isabel’s Diet Solution, along with doing the TT workouts, I’ve lost 11 of the 35 pounds I’m trying to lose.

I’m looking forward to getting down to my ideal weight again, and am excited everyday to do every little thing I can to make that happen.

Thank you again for all you do,

Neil Sutton
