Sometimes all you need is to borrow someone else’s brain and see things from a different perspective. That’s why I created the “Borrow My Brain” hour, where you get to literally “borrow my brain”. This one-hour Zoom is a time for you and me to brainstorm on how you can work smarter, not harder, as you build your fitness brand. The investment? $197. Trust me, the best investment you will make this week. Interested? Learn more here: https://www.tedvickey.com/borrow-my-brain

Something a Student Recently Asked...
Q: Will AI replace me as a Personal Trainer?
A: The simple answer is that if a piece of technology can replace all the things you do for a client as a Personal Trainer, then you need to step up your game as a trainer! While AI has advanced recently, I don’t see that it can replace a Personal Trainer. What it can do is act as a tool, doing the things it is good at, then giving you the option to modify the results as you see “fit”. For example, I use ChatGPT to give me ideas for blog posts that you, my reader, might like. Think of it as someone to brainstorm with. That also frees you from the monotonous and mundane work that you probably don’t like, giving you more time to spend with your clients. It’s a WIN-WIN.
Something to Read...
In today's digital age, innovation has become essential to any successful personal training business. One cutting-edge technology that has revolutionized the fitness industry is virtual reality (VR).
I had my first experience with AI fitness while I was the fitness technology expert for Meta (formerly known as Facebook) for a 2022 lawsuit. After spending over 200 hours in the Metaspace, I left impressed and excited to see where this may grow.
Something personal...
If you are anything like me, change can be hard. Every year during June (my birthday month), I take a few hours to reflect on the previous year and create a plan for the next. While last year was amazing, I was reminded that, like you, I am destined for much more than what I can see. That’s why I have great mentors who I speak with on a regular basis to remind me to stop thinking small. Let’s make these upcoming 12 months a time to look back upon and say, “That was the year it all changed”. I’m ready, are you?
📧Tweet of the Week
I wear the socks when I speak, and people seem to love them.
I now give them away as well. Money goes to a charity.
When it was time to brand me as The FitWell Academy, it made sense to use the pink socks as part of the brand.
