Welcome to Epicenter Training: get to know us better!

why should trainers consider joining Epicenter Training?

"At the beginning of my career, I was fortunate to be surrounded by great teachers, mentors, managers, and trainers. I saw them in-person every day, got to see them in action - their mannerisms, their professionalism, what they said and did, and how they treated others. Beyond watching, I got to engage in deep conversations with them - not just program design, but sales, marketing, management, career development, and things outside of fitness, too. In part, because of that environment, I wasn't part of the high industry turnover. I've enjoyed a 20+ year career in fitness. For new trainers today, I believe it's more challenging to find that community. More often, I'm seeing aspiring trainers go through self-study to earn their certifications, where much of the prep is for the exam alone. While some certs mention what it'll be like in the field, it's tough to duplicate success when your visual of it has been images in physical or digital textbooks and not something in-person or virtually-presented where 2-way communication exists. If you're fortunate to have that as a trainer today, soak it up. Absorb all you can. For those trainers who aren't in as ideal a situation, and feeling like you've landed on a training island all alone, there's a bit of personal responsibility to seek coaching and mentorship. It's okay to be vulnerable. You don't have to have it all figured out just yet. There are some great fitness business coaches out there, and it can take some trial and error to find the one(s) whose messaging and coaching style resonate. The virtual doors to our Epicenter Training Online Academy are open, and we'd certainly love to welcome you in. Part of our why in creating Epicenter Training is that a career in fitness can be so rewarding and fulfilling. And, to see so many newly-certified or newly-independent trainers struggling to make their businesses profitable and sustainable, we're confident that we can provide the community, like the one I had early in my career, to right the ship so they can thrive independently."
