Hi Joe, I will shorten my emails until a whopper story occurs. Here are the gems of the day. A woman in the gym came to me and asked if I could help her 300 lbs
16 year old daughter. Gave her my card. In the mens locker room, a guy who is overweight started chatting with me then I popped the question."So how is your weight loss coming along?" He opened up about his losing 20 lbs with 80lbs to go but really wanted more understanding....gave him my card. The manager of Hows Market in Torrance met with me about the fresh eating shopping tours for clients and general public. I told him I would not go negative on certain products but focus on produce, meats, seafood and positive aspects. Sales in those areas will increase as I pull clients and general public away from eating out or eating fast food to buying fresh. He was impressed with my ideas and knowledge. I gave him a tip to improve sales in selling organic food without punishing the other foods. I am practicing and learning so much in dealing with people. By the way. I dress in short sleeve shirt, tie, dockers, and black tennis shoes.
In my other biz, never wore dressy stuff. The UnTrainer does the opposite of what others expect. .....advancing the cause....thanks to PROPTA and you.
..gary

Lean, Strong, Healthy

Joe, I guess I want the consultation for myself and then I modify it for others.
I want to be able to pull off my shirt in my classes as a testament of possibility.
I need to accelerate my workouts and eating to do that. I need to know what area and exercises frequency etc to concentrate on a final reshape. I have put on nearly 10 lbs of lean but have man boobs and fat on abdomen still coming off a little each week. On Saturday, you can use me as a mannequin. I am not shy about this. I want a Men's Fitness Look first. Lean, Strong, Healthy. See you Saturday. As always, the support is awesome, What a mentor!.....Thank you......gary

Dear Joe,

Thank you for completing my Training Internship. I have 5 hours on the nutrition and have been accepted to intern at the Nourishing Wellness Center in Redondo Beach above the Spectrum Club.

Flavio was excellent last week too bringing possibilities of working with doctor's clients. I have already committed to the unsung "stretch/flexibility" factor.......see you Sat.

I started training my wife, coaching my Mom and Brother, to practice skills learned in the process. I gave two suggestions to a teen and a 40 year old on eating and they both reported weight loss of 3 lbs and 5 lbs in their first week of just talking with me on the phone two times. I am convinced that I can make a great difference in quality of health and life for others.....

Bodybuilding.com & Chief Editor PROPTA Director

Kris Gethin, Editor-In-Chief of Bodybuilding.com

Dear Friend,

Getting a great body is FINALLY going to be easy, even if you are a beginner! With all of the weight loss and diet pills, powders, lotions, articles, commercials, equipment, and other items you are probably confused as to what to do next. If you have ever bought some weight loss pills because a friend recommended them, yet you saw absolutely ZERO benefit, then it is time for a change and to learn how to get that great body you have always wanted.

Kris Gethin, a natural bodybuilder and World Champion, a gifted photographer, recognized y everyone in the industry, has a great passion for fitness and bodybuilding and what he does is from the heart. Find out about his new e-book by log in in to:
http://www.beginersweightliftingprogram.com to learn more.

Just Grateful (to Joe Antouri)

Hi Joe, I just wanted you to know how happy I am in the PROPTA academy. You and Mike Sable are so informative and inspirational.

I feel as if I am already a part of this industry and that I will offer my unique take on weight control.

As I continue on my fat loss lean gain project, I started at 257 two years ago and fumbled my way to 232 this summer using inconsistent nutrition and self training. In July, I restarted with special tools I developed and I went from 232 to 212 at this writing with a confirmed lean gain of 5 lbs.

I bought UnTrainer.com to prepare for next year after certification so I have much to learn. I intend to focus on the overweight crowd out of which UnTrainer was born. I am planning public speaking, 3 hour seminar, and private training of groups and individuals.

My personal plan is a 20Lb muscle gain and 70Lbs fat loss with 9% body fat. I will need your guidance in this effort...

Sincerely,
Gary Smith, the guy who sits with the Blondes and Fiber.

I loved the 6 Academy Classes

Hi Joe and Staff, I loved the 6 academy classes. What a revelation on mistakes and myths still prevalent in gyms today as well as all the information shared. As a businessman, I have been to the gamut of seminars. PROPTA are life changers. I have changed my workouts to conform to what we have learned and am plowing through the written material and recommended books. I need to be assigned to a IFBB Pro in Venice for the internship hours as well as the Weight Loss/Nutritional internship.
The UnTrainer will be born among the population who have given up on their weight loss resolutions or are struggling to get the results denied to 97% of those trying to lose fat. They perish for lack of correct and efficient knowledge as well as the fear of commitment to a greater life. The UnTrainer will teach his clients how to be:
Empowered by Food, not Overpowered by Food. The UnTrainer will help Reverse the Curse of Muscle loss in older populations and relieve the neurosis of the constant diet fanatic. Obesity is a symptom. Dieting is a Disease.
Just practicing some thoughts for a seminar I am writing for next year...

Thank You,
Gary Smith

Personal Training Acceditation and mirepresentation

This article was located ont he internet and it does address the important issues and it does pinpoint the misrepresentation of Fitness and Personal trainers accreditation organizations along with Certification agencies claiming the approval of an accredited agency that is only third party accreditation that is not recognized by the system.

A word of advice : if you are in the market getting certified, you must do your homework to able you to be as competent as possible. Remember that this is you life and career your money your business to know.

After all, would you get treated by a physician if he is incompetent or just got his education online? As a personal trainer, you are dealing with human beings, your reputation is on the line along with your name and business.

i love the PROPTA academy 6 week course

Hi Joe and Staff, I loved the 6 week PROPTA academy classes. What a revelation on mistakes and myths still prevalent in gyms today as well as all the information shared.As a businessman, I have been to the gamut of seminars. ProPTA are life changers. I have changed my workouts to conform to what we have learned and am plowing through the written material and the recommended books.I need to be assigned to a IFBB Pro in Venice for the internship hours as well as the Weight Loss/Nutritional internship. Just give me names and numbers to call and I am on it. My food handling class in on December 9. Working on the test this next few weeks.The UnTrainer will be born in Feb 2009 among a population who have given up on their weight loss resolutions or are struggling to get the result denied to 97% of those trying to lose fat. They perish for lack of correct and efficient knowledge as well as the fire of commitment to a greater life.The UnTrainer will teach his clients how to be Empowered by Food, not Overpowered by Food. The UnTrainer will help Reverse the Curse of Muscle Loss in older populations and relieve the neurosis of the constant diet fanatic. Obesity is a symptom. Dieting is the Disease.Just practicing some thoughts for a seminar I am writing for next year....Thank youGary Smith/ PROPTA trainer

Just grateful (to Joe Antouri)

Hi Joe, I wanted you to know how happy I am in the PROPTA academy. You and Mike Sable are so informative and inspirational.
I feel as if I am already a part of this industry and that I will offer my unique take on weight control.
As I continue on my fat loss/Lean gain project. I started at 257 two years ago and fumbled my way to 232 this summer using inconsistent nutrition and and self training. In July, I restarted with special tools I developed and very marketable, I went from 232 to 212 at this writing with a confirmed lean gain of 5 lbs.
I bought UnTrainer dot com to prepare for next year after certification so I have much to learn. I intend to focus on the overweight crowd out of which The UnTrainer was born. I am planning public speaking, 3 hour seminar, and private training of groups and individuals.
My personal plan is a 20lb muscle gain and 70 lbs fat loss with 9% body fat. I will need your guidance in this effort....Sincerely Gary Smith, the guy who sits with the Blondes and Fiber.
