Let’s Move Campaign
First lady launches ‘Let’s Move’ campaign
Help fight child obesity with the First Lady…
The Four Pillars of the Let’s Move Campaign
- Healthy Choices
- Healthier Food in Schools
- Access to Healthy Affordable Food
- Increasing Physical Activity
Childhood obesity or excess weight threatens the healthy future of one third of American children. We spend $150 billion every year to treat obesity-related conditions, and that number is growing.
Obesity rates tripled in the past 30 years, a trend that means, for the first time in our history, American children may face a shorter expected lifespan than their parents.
We need to get moving. Join First Lady Michelle Obama, community leaders, teachers, doctors, nurses, moms and dads in a nationwide campaign to tackle the challenge of childhood obesity.
Let’s Move! has an ambitious but important goal: to solve the epidemic of childhood obesity within a generation.
Let’s Move will give parents the support they need, provide healthier food in schools, help our kids to be more physically active, and make healthy, affordable food available in every part of our country.

This is your chance to revive your career. Re-focus your life’s mission.
Gain full access to the largest market surge this industry has seen in decades. Become part of an international mission and worthwhile cause. IYCA has officially launched it’s brand new ‘Level 1 – Youth Fitness Specialist’ certification today.
And am giving you the distinct opportunity of becoming part of something very special.
That statement is truly at the core of my thoughts today.
“Being part of something special”
As Trainers and Coaches, we are used to the basic realities of life in our industry; College Degree, Certification, Long Hours, Unstable Financial Future, Day Off or Vacation = No Income
And while we all gain degrees of satisfaction when helping clients succeed, we tend to be a little empty inside.
How do we take our careers to the next level?
How do we positively impact the lives of more people without having to work even more hours?
How do we really become the ‘go to’ expert we’ve always wanted to be?
Countless resources have shown two things about the world of fitness and sport training:
1. It is consistently considered one of the most expanding industry’s on the planet
2. It has one of the highest attrition rates in any industry
Don’t those seem like contradictory terms? Well, they are. But that’s because most people don’t understand how to read between the lines.
Yes… This is a $100 billion a year market in the United States alone. So opportunity really is everywhere.
But how do you go about creating a career in such a vast marketplace when trading your time for an hourly rate is about all you are positioned to do?
You charge $60 an hour. And if you’re lucky, you have a daily client load that looks something like this:
5:00 – 6:00am = Client 1
6:00 – 7:00am = Client 2
7:00 – 8:00am = Client 3
12:00 – 1:00pm = Client 4
3:00 – 4:00pm = Client 5
5:00 – 6:00pm = Client 6
6:00 – 7:00pm = Client 7
7 clients a day at $60 per session isn’t bad, right?
That’s roughly $100,000 a year.
Now here’s the thing…
… Do you really make $100,000 a year?
I don’t know many Trainers who do. And even if you do, that’s based on:
:: A 14 hour day
:: No days off
:: No vacations
How do you live a healthy and full life outside of your work schedule?
When do you have time to learn more?
When do you have time to create a business plan that allows you to gain leverage and take control of your schedule?
When do you have time to create a marketing platform on which to become that ‘go to’ expert you know you can be?
The reality is you can’t. Now, I say all that to illustrate a point.
Smart professionals in every field know how to look objectively at the industry within which they work and consider the future. Where the market is going. And when you take the time to assess that information, you can take advantage of a market shift at the beginning of its change.
Those smart and fortunate few become ‘The First’. And with anything else in life, being ‘The First’ comes with a staggering list of benefits and opportunities.
This is YOUR opportunity…
It is no secret and I have made no bones about the fact that the Youth Fitness and Youth Sports Training niches are THE next big thing in this industry.
:: More than $4 billion are spent annually in the U.S. alone
:: ‘Opportunity-oriented industry’ according to Entrepreneur
:: Over 1 million youths hired a Trainer last year alone
Through the IYCA, I have opened the door to this market surge for you. A new ‘Gold Standard’ of credentials that is already branded.
Free 3-month access to a wealth of business information guaranteed to enhance the success of your career.
An international network and family of professionals working towards a common goal.
An organization who has high profile partners and endorsers the world over.
This is your opportunity to become ‘part’ of something special.
But you need to be one of the ‘First 500′ to do it.
Somewhere around 1 million fitness professionals worldwide will be exposed to this opportunity today.
But only 500 will be allowed access. At 501, the doors close. Below is the link I want you to click on. And even if you don’t want to read the website, do me one favor.
Watch the short videos and listen to the audio I’ve placed there just for you.
These are real fitness professionals just like you. They also worked long hours and lived the very difficult life of a fitness professional. Watch and listen to what they say. Hear the passion in their voices. Understand what becoming part of my mission has done for their careers and their lives.
And then decide if you want to be part of my exclusive ‘First 500′.
