Over the last month or so, I’ve gotten Trainerfly out into people’s hands and I’ve been learning some really interesting lessons. I think it was easy for me to get wrapped up in how I’ve evolved it as a tool in my business over the last two years and lose perspective on how other people [...]
I’m coming to another big teaching cycle in Trainerfly and I think this short clip of David Heinemeier Hansson speaking at Stanford’s Entrepreneurship Corner is really useful to frame the mindset:
It’s the end of the year and it’s time to get out of old habits and mindsets. So, here’s my prediction for the best business model for independent fitness and wellness pros, for the next DECADE. Yeah, I think it’s going to take a few years to unfold, but the groundwork has been laid:

So the [...]
This post is the second in a series I’m doing on the backstory of how I came to develop a web-based software application called Trainerfly. You can read more about it here. For about a year after I decided I need a way to manage all my clients’ programs, and share information with them privately, [...]
I’m sure I’m not alone here. Teachers in all disciples, if they need their students to practice to learn what they are teaching, will relate.
