Scoring Big With Fitness Trainers

Santa Barbara, CA -- July 6, 2005 - Everybody loves a deal. Although nowadays, getting a fantastic deal is not just a luxury, but a necessity. Especially if you are in business for yourself. After all, taxes, insurance, education, equipment costs and daily business expenses are as high as ever.

"Two of the top reasons fitness trainers fail financially is that first, they are careless in cutting costs and watching their bottom line," reports Dr. Sal Arria, CEO of the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), a Fitness Education company that has worked with nearly 70,000 fitness trainers since 1988, "And second, comes from not knowing or not having the resources to locate discount prices on products and services that they need on a daily basis."

Certainly if one can get a set of dumbbells for home or business at $350, instead of the retail price of $450, most would immediately jump on it. But the problem seems to be that companies just can't cut into their profits so deeply, and make it available to everyone. If they did, they would soon be forced to close their doors.

Knowing where to find deals such as this is usually half the battle. But because of a new service provided by YourCouponClub, for a small membership fee fitness trainers nationwide are realizing countless fantastic deals just like this, every single month.

“Health and fitness trainers are stressed-out enough trying to make sure all of life's details are taken care of so they can better serve their clientele base properly," said Sam Hirschberg, Certified Fitness Trainer himself and Managing Director of YourCouponClub.com, a service for Health and Fitness Professionals to tap into a network of never-been-seen before offers made available to professional members.

"Our job is to put more money into the pockets of our members, which we are very successful at achieving. Each month, our members walk away with hundreds of dollars put back into their pocket," Mr. Hirschberg finished.

This month there are $2,800 worth of coupons for professional members of YourCouponClub.com. Immediately after enrollment, coupons are made available for the members to print and either use for themselves, or to give to their clients. “When I was training, I always made it a priority to give each one of my clients more than they expected, and certainly more than they paid for,” reports Mr. Hirschberg.

“YourCouponClub not only gives more value than the cost of membership, but the trainers have the option of passing the benefits onto their clients,” said Mr. Hirschberg. “We have negotiated arrangements with dozens of companies to help the trainers offer more added-value to those people that they serve, literally paying for the cost of their training services.”

“If, for example, a client is looking for cardiovascular equipment to put into their home gym, they certainly will look to their personal trainer for guidance. This is where the trainer pulls out a YourCouponClub coupon, giving a $1,500 discount off the cost of the latest Cybex Arc Trainer and gives it to the client.”

“I’d say that is a great deal for everyone, especially the client. Not only does the client get $1,500 off one of the best cardio machines on the market, but the trainer just increased their value to those that they are training -- literally using that $1,500 to pay for their personal training services,” Mr. Hirschberg finished
