Personal Training Internship

Who: Andrew Voris, Owner of BodyForm Personal Training
What: 6 week internship with BodyForm Personal Training to become a NASM certified personal trainer.
When: Internship begins Tuesday 7/14/2009 at 6PM.
Where: BodyForm Personal Training Studio in Glen Ellyn, IL
799 Roosevelt Rd
Building 3 suite 103
Glen Ellyn, IL 60137
How much: $999 for the 6 week course

More details:

What is included in my investment?

Part of your $999 investment goes directly to NASM for study materials. These are the same materials you can purchase on your own from the website. If you choose to do so, the cost of the materials will be deducted from your tuition fees.

The rest of your investment goes to BodyForm to pay for instruction time and the use of our facility for observation and participation with clients.

What do you gain from this experience?

I created this program for a couple of reasons.
I get to choose from a small group of highly motivated and educated trainers for my staff if at the end of the internship I am in need of more trainers.
You get a combination of experience, education, and hands on learning that you simply can't get anywhere else!
Yes, you can go to the NASM weekend workshop when it is offered but that is not the same as what you will get from this experience.

How will Andy Voris be assisting you in the 6 weeks?

I will be available several times during the week for open office hours where we will be reviewing the study materials assigned for the week and physically practicing what you learn and making since of the information.
Office Hours;
Monday and Wednesday 6-9PM
Tuesday and Thursday 11AM-1PM
Otherwise by appointment.

What type of time commitment or weekly availability is needed from the students?

I am leaving the schedule up to each person. After you make your investment in the 6 weeks and I purchase your certification materials for you, it will be up to you to make it in as often as you can. I will have office hours and we will have study group sessions. It will be up to you to study the text book and watch the videos on your own. We will review and discuss the material each week and put the information into practical application.

I will have you training each other and observing the training in my studio. You will begin participating more as the 6 weeks progress and culminating in training our clients and they will be grading you.

Interns will be mainly observing Joe in the studio on Saturdays and working with me on Fridays. You can participate with any training session and boot camp after the client has agreed to it.

What exactly will we be prepared for at the end of the 6 weeks?

At the conclusion of the program you will be able to sit for your NASM certification which will be at the Dupage County Airport.
You will have CPR, AED, & First Aid certifications before the NASM test.
You will have enough working knowledge to work in any club or studio and probably be a better trainer than most trainers out there today!
You will also be evaluated by my clients and boot camp members which will give you feedback on areas you need to improve going forward. The evaluation will be brutally honest and anonymous. The last question will ask the client if they are willing to train with you and if they are and I need another trainer in my studio at that time I will most likely ask you to join our team or you may go anywhere you'd like and probably get a job as a trainer.

Just a few spots left and we begin soon so contact me today! 630-865-8573

We are always looking for qualified, motivated, enthusiastic Trainers!

Do you have what it takes to be a great trainer?

Let my clients decide! Apply to be an intern with us and after 6 weeks of learning, observing, and doing we will let the clients decide.

Walk away with a certification from NASM and experience or stay on with us if our clients give you a passing grade.

Where else can you get this kind of opportunity?

Get real experience and learn great skills!

Along with getting certified you will learn:

How to use Facebook and Twitter to market yourself.
How to set your clients up for success and on auto pilot.
How to create systems so you get more done and achieve more.
How to streamline your marketing efforts to make more and spend less.
How to utilize email to educate and inform your clients and bring money to the table.

Over the years I have been busting my butt as a

Personal Trainer!

At times it has been great and at times it's been very difficult to make a living!

Have you experienced the same?

It all pays off now as I run a hugely successful training studio in 1700 sq. feet for group training and 12oo sq feet for private training.

Let me share with you how I have done it!

I have followed many great fitness gurus over the years and owe them my success.

Special Thanks!

and so much more...........

That's thousands of dollars in education!

I should have my masters degree in this stuff by now! Investing in these programs is the absolute best thing you can do for your career!

I have no doubt that I would not have the success I do without it. It was not easy coughing up the dough for this stuff.

At times I had to choose investing in myself over rent and groceries.

I spent 3 or 4 years making under 20K as a trainer while studying this stuff and trying to become the trainer I am now.

In 2006 I reinvented myself after 10 years as a trainer and a short stint with the NFL as a strength coach.

I decided to go back to personal training clients but this time in my own studio instead of in a club.

What a great decision!

Finally I found the freedom I was searching for!

Of course it was not always easy but I have never doubted myself and my decision.

I started in a physical therapy office sharing space and have moved three times since.

Growing constantly.

I am now managing my own studio and trainers and even opened a 14,000 sq ft health club in 2007 that is going strong.

My story is full of lessons and I would love to share it.

I look forward to revealing how I used all of the information I have purchased and studied over the years from the great people listed above!

If you are a trainer or even thinking about it I want to offer you a chance to follow my foot steps and cut through the chase.

I have nearly every program created about running your own personal training business. As you can see above, my group of teachers are the best in the world!

You won't find to many trainers that have studied all of these programs and sorted through all of the ideas and then actually implemented them and now the success is awesome!

Really this is a NO BRAINER FORMULA.

If you purchase everything you can from these guys and integrate the systems and ideas into your own business and then mold them into your business with your own flare you will NOT FAIL!

But That will take years...TRUST ME!

I can teach you how and I can advise you on what programs you will need in a short amount of time.

For a while my site actually listed all of my secret rersources for trainers and the names above for the great programs I use.

This stuff is priceless!

I had to take it down.

If I'm gonna share how I did it and what I do now I need to charge for it!

Well here it is!

I am now opening things up for mentoring others in their business.

I will be shooting unedited real time/real life videos like Bedros to share all of my studio secrets.

I will be having webinars like Eric and Sean to share my systems and I will be creating list after list like many of the others to share my knowledge and experience.

I will bring you weekly content just full of resources and how to information to set up, run, automate, and profit in your business!

But only if you subscribe to have me as your coach!

Rarely do you get this stuff from someone still in the trenches!

Unlike most information marketers I love training and plan to stay in the trenches no matter how good the income gets.

I am a Personal Trainer but I have gained the skills from these gentlemen to make me a salesman and businessman also.

Consider this page one BIG PROMO for these guru's of fitness and I would highly recommend that you gobble up every bit of information you can from these gentlemen!

It will take you to the top!

If you want help on the way or help to get started, or maybe you have purchased the products but are stuck and you need help, then join me and I will show you how to make it all work for you!

Our Philosophy

Over the years I have had several certifications and used several methods for helping my clients achieve their goal.  None compare to the methods I now use from the National Academy of Sports Medicine!
Andy Voris, BodyForm owner 
 
The following is an overview of the exact methods we use for training all of our clients. 

The OPT Models

Optimum Performance Training

Until now, most training programs have been based almost entirely on the experiences and goals of bodybuilders, coaches, and athletes. Scientifically unsupported training programs are not designed to meet the needs of our increasingly de-conditioned and injury-prone society.

NASM’s exclusive Optimum Performance Training method represents the industry’s first and only comprehensive training program based on current scientific research that provides undisputed results specific to individual needs and goals.

Creating a new industry standard for success, OPT virtually eliminates programming and program-design guesswork for any fitness, sports-performance, or sports-medicine professional. By following the NASM systematic OPT method, we develop training, conditioning, or rehabilitation programs scientifically proven to produce remarkable results.

By incorporating multiple types of training—flexibility, cardio respiratory, core, balance, reactive, speed, agility, quickness, and strength—into every program, the revolutionary and easy-to-use OPT method improves all biomotor abilities and builds high levels of functional strength, neuromuscular efficiency, and dynamic flexibility.

Assessment At the center of the OPT method is assessment. All programs are designed based on a comprehensive and individualized kinetic chain assessment. This head-to-toe fitness and performance evaluation assesses an individual’s strengths and weaknesses in the areas of posture, movement, strength, flexibility, and athletic performance. Before embarking on a training program, it is essential to correct any existing imbalances to ensure success.

Individualized Program Design The OPT method provides an easy-to-use system for exercise selection based on our client’s needs, abilities, and goals. The endless choices of exercises and the unique progressions keep every program fun, dynamic and, most importantly, successful.

The following Progression of Success represents the various stages of the revolutionary OPT method.

OPT for Fitness Clients

1. Stabilization Endurance Training should be used for the beginning clients who may possess muscle imbalances, lack postural control, and stability. This phase is crucial for all individuals no matter their goals as it prepares them for the higher demands of training seen in phases 2-5. Although this phase is the first phase of training in the OPT Model, it will also be important to cycle back through this phase of training between periods of higher intensity training seen in Phases 2 through 5. This will allow for proper recovery and maintenance of high levels of stability that will ensure optimal strength and/or power adaptations. This phase of training focuses on:

  • Increasing Stability
  • Muscular Endurance
  • Improving Flexibility
  • Increasing Neuromuscular Efficiency of the Core Musculature
  • Improving Inter-muscular and Intramuscular Coordination

The primary focus when progressing in this phase is on increasing the proprioception (controlled instability) of the exercises, rather than just the load.

2. Strength Endurance Training is a hybrid form of training that promotes increased stabilization endurance, hypertrophy, and strength. This form of training entails the use of superset techniques where a more stable exercise (such as a bench press) is immediately followed with a stabilization exercise with similar biomechanical motions (such as a standing cable chest press). Therefore, for every set of an exercise/body part performed according to the acute variables, there are actually two exercises or two sets being performed. High amounts of volume can be generated in this phase of training.

3. Hypertrophy Training is specific for the adaptation of maximal muscle growth, focusing on high levels of volume with minimal rest periods to force cellular changes that result in an overall increase in muscle.

4. Maximal Strength Training focuses on increasing the load placed upon the tissues of the body. Maximal intensity improves:

  • Recruitment of More Motor Units
  • Rate of Force Production
  • Motor Unit Synchronization

Maximal Strength Training has also been shown to help increase the benefits of forms of power training used in Phase 5.

5. Power Training focuses on both high force and velocity to increase power. This is accomplished by super-setting a strength exercise with power exercise for each body part (such as performing a barbell bench press super-set with a medicine ball chest pass).

OPT for Sports Performance Clients

1. Corrective Exercise Training phase includes correcting muscle imbalances, reconditioning injured anatomical locations, preparing non-contractile tissue for the upcoming imposed demands of training, preventing tissue overload through progressive adaptation, improving work capacity, improving stabilization strength, and establishing proper movement patterns. This is an important phase for the athlete as injuries are commonplace in sports.

2. Stabilization Endurance Training is not only used for beginning clients it is also used for athletes who may possess muscle imbalances, lack postural control, and stability. Although this phase is the second phase of training in the OPT Model, it will also be important to cycle back through this phase of training between periods of higher intensity training seen in Phases 3 through 7. This will allow for proper recovery and maintenance of high levels of stability that will ensure optimal strength and/or power (important adaptations for athletes). This phase of training focuses on:

  • Increasing Stability
  • Muscular Endurance
  • Improving Flexibility
  • Increasing Neuromuscular Efficiency of the Core Musculature
  • Improving Inter-muscular and Intramuscular Coordination

The primary focus when progressing in this phase is on increasing the proprioception (controlled instability) of the exercises, rather than just the load.

3. Strength Endurance Training is hybrid form of training that promotes increased stabilization endurance, hypertrophy, and strength. This form of training entails the use of superset techniques where a more stable exercise (such as a bench press) is immediately followed with a stabilization exercise with similar biomechanical motions (such as standing cable chest press). This allows the athlete to increase prime mover strength while maintaining optimal levels of stability developed in phases 1 and 2 of the model. Therefore, for every set of an exercise/body part performed according to the acute variables, there are actually two exercises or two sets being performed. High amounts of volume can be generated in this phase of training.

4. Hypertrophy Training is specific for the adaptation of maximal muscle growth, focusing on high levels of volume with minimal rest periods to force cellular changes that result in an overall increase in muscle size. This phase of training will be important for athletes such of football players and shot-putters who need extra mass.

5. Maximal Strength Training phase focuses on increasing the load placed upon the tissues of the body. Maximal intensity improves:

  • Recruitment of More Motor Units
  • Rate of Force Production
  • Motor Unit Synchronization

Maximal Strength Training has also been shown to help increase the benefits of forms of power training used in Phase 5, which is an important adaptation for athletes to maximize.

6. Power Training phase focuses on both high force and velocity to increase power. This is accomplished by super-setting a strength exercise with a power exercise for each body part (such as performing a barbell bench press super-set with a medicine ball chest pass). This allows the athlete to enhance maximal prime mover strength while increasing the rate of force production.

7. Maximal Power Training increases speed strength and creates neuromuscular adaptations through an entire range of motion. This is a very specialized form of training and should be implemented only for those athletes that require maximum speed strength and who have developed optimum levels of stabilization and eccentric strength prior to this phase of training.
