Personal Trainers as Wellness Coaches

Wellness is the central trend for the coming decades

The Netfit team have won every major fitness competitions in the UK since they were formed fours years ago to promote health and fitness. From Ultrafit X-Training Competition - Super teams - Dream Team Challenge.

The Daily Telegraph Dream Team Challenge (Held 4 times - won each time by Netfit) - an event where teams of 6 compete in a final over 7 different disciplines against the Dream Team, which has included athletes such as Linford Christie - Jamie Bulch - James Cracknell - Jonathon Edwards - Audley Harrison - Dean Macey to name just a few.

�Herbalife plays an important part in our preparation. The training we undergo is extremely demanding, normally 2 sessions a day a week. At this level you need optimum nutrition, in an easy to obtain format. Formula 1 is the solution: a good source of protein and vitamins in order to maintain a healthy muscle mass, without the bulk associated with most protein supplements.�

"Like a lot of Personal Trainers out there, I always want to encourage a balanced and healthy eating plan for my clients, especially those seeking weight loss and long term maintenance" The Body Vision programme has 2 six week health eating plans written by state registered dieticians. Recognising that not everybody can eat healthy all of the time, due to unexpected events or life just getting a little heck from time to time, clients need a suitable alternative to reaching for a bag of crisps or the chocolate bar, ShapeWorks not only provides an excellent alternative but has enable a few of my clients to shed a good number of lbs combined with exercise and motivational training whilst completing our programme. I regularly use the products myself, they taste pretty good"

When Lee Apperson & Jennifer Micheli walk by, heads turn. Lee has held the Mr. America title not once, but twice, along with the Mr. USA title. At age 47, Lee has been competing on the bodybuilding circuit, what he calls �the biggest show on the planet,� for 20 years. As for weight loss and nutrition, Lee says, �Herbalife bridges that gap in the bodybuilding world.� He explains, �To be competitive, you�ve got to lose the fat, and reshape the muscle. Having a proper diet is a big part of that. I�ve tried every protein shake known to man and I love the taste of Herbalife shakes. I never feel tempted by junk food because of the good nutrition in the shakes. It�s empowering.�

Jennifer also lives by the shakes. Formerly anorexic, she went from �80 pounds of skin and bones� to taking second in the 2004 Masters National Figure Competition. Just two years ago, Jennifer beat out 19-to 32-year olds in her first of many figure competitions. She was 41 at the time.

�Finding Herbalife was the turning point. After six weeks on the products, I gained 10 pounds of muscle and started looking and feeling healthier,� she says. �As my appearance improved, people began asking me what I was doing,� continues Jennifer. At the time, Jennifer owned a gym, so becoming a Distributor was a perfect fit. Her growing downline now includes Lee, whom she met four years ago.

�When I earned $2,800 my first month, I knew I was on to something,� she says. �In my second month, I was eighth in the company in U.S. Sponsorships. My mother spotted it in the Herbalife Today magazine�I had no idea!�
How does she do it? �Use, Wear, Talk,� Jennifer answers without a moment�s hesitation. �For five years now, I�ve worn a button every day. I even wear it on my swimsuit. It�s gotten me to Global Expansion Team.�
�I�ve learned that the best way to interest people in the products is to sample,� says Jennifer. �I sample the shakes, the teas, Thermo Complete� and now Liftoff�.
�Since I closed my gym and decided to go full-time, I have more time to spend with my three kids. And now I have five gym owners in my downline,� she exclaims proudly. �Once they let me do shake parties and demos at their gym, they realize that they can make a lot of money doing this, too!�
Unlike so many athletes who consider age the enemy, Lee and Jennifer are proud of being in their forties. As Jennifer says, �When people ask me how I look like this at this age, I have just one response, �Herbalife!��

Success Tips:

Jennifer�s favorites: Formula 1 Shakes, Protein Drink Mix, Niteworks� and Schizandra.
Lee�s favorites: French Vanilla shakes
Sampling is the best way to get people interested in the product. Sample to everyone. To get fit, you�ve got to have a proper diet, train and get enough rest. With both the products and the business, it�s about consistency.

"In our profession we demand top performance from our bodies in extreme conditions. The Herbalife program has definitely given me the additional endurance, stamina and better post-sport recovery. Today I am recommending the same program to all my students, colleagues and friends."
