I had the honor of having Gary Bannister on the podcast again to discuss the current state of the fitness industry. Gary is the author of In Aurthor's Shadow, If You Like Exercise..., and Golf Performance Training..., and has recently retired as a personal trainer. Basically, I asked Gary how he found his way into the fitness industry and he took over! A lot of knowledge here folks. I have the utmost respect for Gary and what he's contributed to my career and the fitness industry.

This is a recording from my trip to the National Fitness Business Alliance conference in St. Louis in August, 2018. I was fortunate enough to have Plummer on the podcast to discuss his most recent book, The Soul of a Trainer, and much, much more. Enjoy this one! 

Thomas Plummer has been working in the fitness business for over 40 years. He founded the Thomas Plummer Company in 1990, which eventually became the National Fitness Business Alliance (NFBA) in 2003. He is perhaps best known for helping young fitness professionals understand and master the business side of the gym business and his “no nonsense” speaking style has kept him as one of the most popular speakers in the world of fitness year after year.
