My life is changing...

Fitness has always been a BIG part of that change. From playing soccer in high school to lifting weights in college to competing in Taekwondo. But now it is different.

I am loving the business of fitness. This has been a real learning experience for me. Going to trade shows, presenting, and developing new markets for the Equalizer, Buddy System and Stretch Strap. I feel like there is so much potential for these awesome tools and that we are just beginning to scratch the surface. Exciting times to be sure!

I have also been teaching high school kids about bodyweight training and I think I have found one of my true callings. I love that age group and for some reason resonate with them (perhaps it is my maturity level!). I am looking forward to doing many more of these.

All these new experiences in the fitness field and the great people I have met are reshaping what I do and how I do it. I continue to learn and push myself out of my comfort zone so that I will grow. This is no different than working out- you get your best results when you get out of your comfort zone. Funny how fitness has prepared me for the changes I am taking on in my fitness business!

All the best with your uncomfortable-ness!

Your friend and coach,

Review: Lebert Buddy System for total body partner training
by Fitz Koehler

Training partners and personal trainers rejoice - the Lebert Buddy System was designed just for you! The LBS is a high quality system of straps and handles meant for two people and a total body workout. I’ve embedded an introductory video below, because it’s quite simply a little hard to explain without seeing it in motion, but I’ll share my opinion before we get there. I love it! It’s unique, simple, easy to use and lightweight which means it’s perfect for training on the go. [continued]
