High Intensity Business

Bill Crawford (email - iamfitness [@] aol.com) has been a leader and visionary in fitness since 1977, and is the owner of Basic Training, a well revered high intensity strength training facility in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Bill was trained for musculoskeletal evaluation and rehabilitation at the Exercise Science Center, University of Florida in Gainesville, and was personally trained by the late Arthur Jones, inventor of Nautilus and MedX.

Over the past 42 years, Bill has provided fitness training for thousands, exercising muscles in isolation to muscle failure with equalized resistance through the full range of motion using a safe and effective protocol.

This podcast is rich with information on MedX and high intensity strength training methods, how to build a successful single-location HIT business, how to perfect pricing and packaging, sales and marketing tactics, and much, much more.

When it comes to building a successful small fitness business that is both highly profitable and fun to own, Bill and Debbie Crawford have really cracked the code. I am excited to share their wisdom with you in this episode so that you may do the same!

Andy Magness is many things — husband, father, recreational philosopher, novice gardener, reluctant homeowner, occasional adventurer, part-time athlete, race director, youth philanthropist, burgeoning author, and eternal possibilitist (not to mention avid neologist). An avid climber and mountaineer during his younger days, Andy followed his twin brother Jason into the world of extreme endurance sports more than a decade go. His experiments in high intensity training for these events began as he tried to keep up with Jason while simultaneously starting a family and going back to graduate school in Physics.

In his most recent extreme endurance event, GODZone, Andy's team placed 7th out of 100 teams.

Check out Andy's first appearance on the podcast here and Andy's excellent book - UltraMental: An unconventional approach to training for endurance events on a few hours a week (or less)
