Kevin Quinn

Can you really turn your passion for strength training and helping people into a $40,000-a-month business?

Here’s somebody who’s already done it: Quinn’s Gym Founder Kevin Quinn joins us to talk about how he did that.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though, because he did run through some challenges that almost derailed his fitness journey, but he did some things you might want to know about so you can avoid the same pitfalls and grow your business faster without burning out and losing your passion.

How can your style of strength training help different people like athletes, older clients, or even special needs children? How can you approach client instruction in those very specific situations? How would you even get started, and how can you make sure you become successful? Plus, Kevin talks about some important things you should never forget if you’re a personal trainer.

Kevin’s passion just jumps out of this episode, and I really think you’ll appreciate the value of what you as a strength trainer can do for your clients — make sure you check this one out.
