Here Is Your Chance To Enroll In GROUP TRAINING UNIVERSITY
***This Invitation Is ONLY Intended For Serious Personal Trainers Who Want to Deliver The Best Training Model To Their Clients, Separate Themselves From Their Local Competition, AND Set Themselves Up For Long-Term Financial Success.***
Dear Personal Trainer,
Certifications are great. We believe they can provide you with applicable knowledge and skills to get your clients results. Hey, I’m even the co-owner of a few of the best specialization certifications in the fitness industry. However, exercise technique, program design systems, and basic business strategies won’t flood your doors with clients and their friends…
College is fantastic. We have the utmost respect for it. In fact, I was a professor and I coached baseball at the collegiate level. However, exercise science labs, the sliding filament theory, and sub-max VO2 tests don’t help you build or manage a successful personal training business…
Over the years our TEAM at Fitness Consulting Group has put together some of the most successful personal training and boot camp building products & programs on the market. We’ve helped everyone from kids fresh out of college to mid-life career changers to seasoned personal training veterans build six and seven (YES, seven) figure businesses…
As we’ve worked closely with these fitness professionals we’ve seen the pendulum swing back and forth in terms of both fitness and business trends. e’re sure you’ve seen it, too. Think about it…
Our industry has gone from primarily personal training and group fitness to semi-private training and boot camps, not to mention all the spin-off “fads.”
But recently, it has taken yet another shift…
This shift in both training style and business model has proven to be the most advantageous for both clients and trainers alike:
- Clients are getting better results and finding training more affordable. Great for business :-)
- Trainers are building more solid businesses (less volatile, better hours, more fun) and making more money than ever!
This newest model is truly the best of both worlds for everyone involved…
What is Group Personal Training?
In a nutshell, Group Personal Training is a hybrid of personal training and boot camp. It combines the benefits of individualized programming with the fun and motivation of being in a group setting.
Of course, as simple as that sounds, building a quarter-million, half-million, or million dollar plus group training business isn’t that easy. And, changing business models can be a real nightmare… Unless, you follow a proven system that clients love AND trainers can profit from (Financial AND Time Freedom are a MUST)… More on that in a minute…
Look, if you’re still running boot camps without performing detailed assessments, no customized programming, and basically performing a “beat down” workout for today, then you’re falling behind…Soon you will be out of business…
On the flip side, even if you’re killing it with one-on-one training, proving to be the best trainer in your town, with a waiting list of people trying to get in like the hottest night club in LA…you’re eventually going to burn yourself right out of business…
- Clients love it for the affordability and accountability, while still getting a personalized training program.
- Trainers love it because they can make more money in less time and still feel great about the service they’re delivering – in fact; most trainers end up saying it’s a better service than one-on-one training!
“There was a time when I was the top selling personal trainer for a major health club chain in the US. I trained a lot of hours, taught seminars, and filled every open hour of my schedule with prospecting and consultations. Then of course there was business management and program design…
While I was making a lot of money, I had NO LIFE. Eventually, I began to hate personal training. I moved into management so I didn’t have to train as much, but that too became a nightmare because to become successful, trainers had to train a lot. Ultimately, I managed a bunch of burned out, unhappy trainers…
Then came the concept of Group Personal Training…
I started my business 3 ½ years ago with coaching from Pat Rigsby & Nick Berry. They taught me the concept of GPT, and how to start, grow & manage my business. Working with them & their team at FCG, and modeling guys like Ryan Ketchum and Steve & Jared from Smart Group Training, I’ve been able to build a fitness business that I am proud to put my name on (program design quality is HUGE for me), have my wife quit her job to become my business partner, hire staff to take over training sessions, and add more money-making components to my business that my clients love!
To say I’m a RAVING FAN of Group Personal Training would be an understatement.
And, now Pat, Ryan, Steve and Jared have packaged all of their GPT knowledge and systems into one easy-to-follow, step-by-step program. Group Training University is the fast-track to building a successful GPT business!”

When we first decided to create Group Training University we knew it’s success would come down to assembling the finest staff of contributors with proven track records for both client results and business success. They had to have enough years of experience, big enough businesses, and the highest respect from their peers. We needed a TEAM that was diverse enough to cover everything from the uniqueness of group personal training program design to the marketing & sales strategies of this “new” style of training. Plus, we wanted to provide an A-Z syllabus for building a solid business that would stand on it’s own, giving YOU the freedom you ultimately want and deserve…

To say Group Training University is LOADED WITH PROVEN & USEABLE CONTENT is an understatement!
This is not a one-day or even a weekend course we’re offering here. You don’t get a degree overnight, right?
Here’s how you make Group Training University work for YOU if you’re already a busy trainer working hard in the trenches:
1. Take a day this weekend to get through Track 1: Group Personal Training Program Design
a. Study it. Understand it. Decide how you’re going to apply it to your existing business
2. Devote an hour each week to Track 2: Group Personal Training Business Development & Management
a. Learn the content
b. Apply it to your business
When you take this simple approach, these small, yet significant changes on a weekly basis will literally transform your business in a matter of six months.
If you have more time to study and implement (implementation is the key), you can double or triple your efforts to cut your time way down…
Would you be happy doubling your business in the next 3 – 6 months? Of course you would! That’s EXACTLY what you will do when you apply what you learn in Group Training University.
To be honest, this was a difficult program to price – there’s just so much content. It really is like getting an MBA in Group Personal Training. So, we did some research on MBA programs and found that an online course could range in price from $7000 – $120,000. That’s a pretty big range, but even at the low end, 7k is nothing to sneeze at, especially on a typical struggling personal trainer’s income…
Knowing a thing or two about online sales, we came to the conclusion that Group Personal Training would be fairly priced and sell really well to high-quality personal trainers who truly strive to be the best for about $499.95. However, making it barely affordable isn’t our style. At Fitness Consulting Group, like you, we also strive to be the best – we want to deliver products and programs great trainers like you can easily afford. That’s why the Group Training University staff agreed to make it ONLY $399.95…
We have no doubt that Group Training University will give you the edge you need to take your personal training business to the next level, ‘WOW’ your clients, blow away your competition, and create more financial & time freedom than you ever thought possible…
We look forward to teaching you everything we know about building a highly lucrative Group Personal Training business.
Dedicated to Your Success,
Pat Rigsby
