This week's episode of the Pursuit of Progress | Personal Trainer podcast I was able to wrangle in one of the most well-known and entertaining fitness industry writers in the game, (Sir) Tony Gentilecore. Tony is what we would call an "OG" and has been in the fitness industry since the early 2000's. As one of the original partners and founders of Cressey Performance, Tony has worked with everyone from high level athletes to the everyday person who wants to learn how to crush barbell training. When he's not picking things up and putting them down himself, he trains people at his studio, CORE, located in Boston, MA. He also contributes to the top fitness magazines and websites around, and sets up a camera in his garage to record his lightsaber skills. He lives in Boston. With his wife, Lisa, and son, Julian. And cat, Dagny. Despite his massive level of experience and knowledge - Tony has a knack for keeping things simple. So whether you are a brand new coach or someone with years of experience you are going to take something great away from this conversation with Tony. Tune in and let us know what you think!

My interview with Tony Gentilcore is one of the most well-rounded ones I've had on the show. We covered so many important topics I wasn't sure what to call it.  Here are just some of the things we discussed.  Tony has managed to create a great following and he did it the right way.  He's humble to say that he had good “luck” but we know that luck is when preparation meets opportunity.  I like the way he simplifies the process of creating content and connect with his audience (hint: he drops 90s hip hop references).  The content creation section of the interview was worth the listen alone but we also dove into some other useful topics.  We talked about how Tony is a co-founder of Cressey Performance and how he used his time there to not only get lots of experience but build his own brand. This is an important topic both from the standpoint of being a coach AND being a business owner as it's difficult to manage the balance of supporting coaches to reach their potential while protecting your business.  Of course we talked about the money side of things too, everything from having a system to ensure cash flow as well as the importance of multiple revenue streams.

Eric Cressey, Founder - Cressey Sports Performance, and New York Yankees Director of Player Health & Performance Matt Blake, New York Yankees Pitching Coach Tyler Beede, San Francisco Giants Pitcher Caleb Longley, Texas Baseball Pitching and Hitting Coordinator

This week, I had a great chat with Andrew Millett from Move Strong Physical Therapy, our recent Mastermind MVP! Andrew runs a killer cash practice inside Cressey Performance in Massachusetts, working with a ton of throwing athletes. We dive into his journey from traditional PT to starting his own thing, the challenges and rewards of scaling past being a solo practitioner, and the unique dynamics of building a business inside another established facility like Cressey's. Andrew Millett drops some serious knowledge bombs on building relationships, the importance of mindset, continuous learning through reading, and why genuinely caring for people is the ultimate business advantage. Plus, he shares his vision for Move Strong and how he balances growth with quality care and family life.

In today’s episode, Tony Gentilcore and I discuss our current global situation regarding COVID-19; what it means for the fitness world, and how to cope at this time.  Tony is the co-founder of Cressey Performance in Hudson, Massachusetts, and the author of a popular blog called Because Heavy Things Won’t Lift Themselves.  Do you see people marketing the fact that people are making more money during this time? 03:16 Tony says the one thing he has noticed is that people are still selling products during this time. He adds that he sees no issue with it, as he does the same.  Fitness professionals recognize the fact that they have a lot of free time, and offer others in the industry a way to improve their skills and crafts.  He says they just released their shoulder and hip blueprint because he feels it is a good resource to have during this time. They even lowered the price, and they are offering a payment plan.  Tony also says that there are individuals who are taking a nefarious approach to their marketing and taking advantage of the situation, which is unfortunate.  How do you feel about individuals selling their services at this time? 06:17 If you have something valuable to offer, you shouldn’t feel bad about selling your services.  He explains that he shut down his studio, so he’s not training anyone in person, but he is offering virtual training classes. He says he is charging his normal rate for these classes because he is still a certified, knowledgeable coach.  Tony says in these times of uncertainty, people are feeling obligated to lower their prices because they aren’t offering their services in person, which he feels is a normal reaction, but most loyal customers will be satisfied with paying the full rate.  He adds that we are in a time where people understand that we need to support each other, and he sees a lot of good things happening in the industry.  What do you think are the qualities of leadership? 07:49 Tony explains that being on lockdown will take its toll on mental health, and we should look out for each other. He says there is a big opportunity for fitness professionals to become a major role in their clients’ lives.  You can engage with your clients by doing Zoom calls, running groups or even just call your clients, and that will go a long way.  He adds that people are going to need help with their weight management and mobility during the lockdown, but the most important thing is that they just need someone to talk to.  He says there is more to being a coach than just training; during this lockdown, Tony has put in a lot of effort to support his clients, both emotionally and with their fitness levels.  What is going to be different about the fitness industry once this pandemic has run its course? 13:59 Tony says he thinks a lot of people will realize that they have created an efficient setup for themselves, and they won’t see the point in spending a lot of money on a gym membership anymore.  He adds that he thinks there will be a delay in the time it takes people to get back to the gym once this is over.  However, for the people who have made fitness a part of their lives, going back to the gym will probably be the first thing they take control of when this pandemic has ended.  He says he is very concerned about small business owners and what this lockdown will mean for their business. He thinks a lot of people will have to close their businesses and lose all their hard work.  Are there any tips you have for people to get through lockdown? 27:56 Tony says it’s important to reach out to friends and colleagues.  He says people want to feel like they are in people’s thoughts and that they have a support system.  He adds that you need to stay authentic and be yourself. It’s okay to be in touch with your emotions; it’s okay to show vulnerability and its okay to cry. He says that he finds solace in the fact that everyone is in the same boat.  Everyone is dealing with this crisis. We all experience it differently, and it causes more problems for some people than others, but no one is alone in this. It doesn’t just affect one group or class of people.  Resources Connect with Tony on LinkedIn
