“The
Association of Fitness By Phone® has proven
to be a steadfast, reliable beacon of credibility
in an industry that is replete with fly-by-night
gimmicks. Each year I anticipate attending
the annual Fitness By Phone® conference because
I find it to be a place of comfort, inspiration,
and encouragement. Here, we can be amongst
like-minded people— fitness coaches who represent
the upper crust of our profession. Fitness
By Phone® is the place to be if you’re not simply
an ordinary fitness instructor or personal trainer.
This is the group that, for the last seven years,
has paved the future of the fitness coaching
profession. I am proud to stand out from the
masses that run themselves ragged trying to
make conventional personal training work for
them. I’ll be the first to admit that
growing one’s Fitness By Phone® business is
hard work. But it’s the kind of work that
pays back in multiples of what you put into
it, so unlike the dollars-for-hours gerbil wheel
that IS the personal training business.”
~ Tiffany Crate, Chicago, IL ~ ACE certified personal trainer
“Personally and professionally, Fitness by Phone® has created a win-win situation for me. My schedule as a personal trainer was very busy and full. Now, the majority of my time is spent talking to clients on the phone, saving driving time, travel expense, and stress, not to mention allowing time off for myself. And, my clients are getting better results. In the first six weeks, I signed up two new Fitness by Phone® coaching clients and now have coached over 70! I now offer it as the only fitness training option to prospective clients and am getting positive feedback.”
~ Gillian Hood Gabrielson, Paradise, California ~ ACE & ACSM certified personal trainer
“Fitness by Phone® has allowed my company to successfully penetrate the corporate market. We effortlessly train even the busiest executives and see far more clients in less time.”
~ Fran Bishop, Washington D.C. ~ AFAA Certified
Hear what Fran has to say
“During my years as a personal trainer, most of my clients relied on me too heavily regardless of the motivation I tried to instill in them. It’s entirely different with Fitness by Phone®. My clients are far more independent and routinely achieve their goals. I have moved my residence twice, over hundreds of miles, and continue to train my clients and maintain my income without worrying about starting a personal training business all over again. I earn thousands of dollars per month coaching clients over the phone regardless of where I am living or where I am traveling.”
~ Heather Moreno, Atascadero, California ~ ACSM certified personal trainer
“I have not enjoyed my job this much in years!
In the first month as a certified Fitness By
Phone® coach, I signed up five new clients and
a potential sixth. I sincerely believe
what Susan and the Fitness By Phone® approach
has to offer is a real goldmine and may very
well revolutionize personal training.
I would encourage any trainer who wants to maximize
their time and earnings and learn a wealth of
information to get involved with this program.
It would be one of the most productive things
a trainer could do for themselves and their
clients.”
~ Marilyn Burns, IL. ~ ACE certified fitness instructor
“When I was pregnant with my second child I knew I did not want to be getting up at the crack of dawn to train my clients in their homes with a newborn and toddler at my home without me. I saw the ad for FBP and was intrigued. By the time I had my second child, I would have needed 56 one-on-one sessions a month to earn the same amount I was making by phone coaching clients 3.5 hours a week. Today, four years later, my third child celebrates his first birthday and my FBP client list is close to 100. Thanks to Fitness by Phone®, I work two and a half days a week and spend the rest of the time enjoying my family.”

By Phone® Coach’s Clients
"For many people starting an exercise
program is difficult and probably more difficult
is sticking with it - I'm one of those people.
Lisa’s Fitness By Phone® Coaching has been
great for me because I'm held accountable
each week by filling out my fitness diary
and reporting it to Lisa during our sessions.
It keeps me on track and gives me goals each
week. I have lost several inches and have
actually lowered my cholesterol. Lisa
is great to work with and with her vast knowledge,
she can create a safe and effective fitness
program for each individual."
~ J. LoFaro, Reston, VA ~
“Exercise has been a part of my life for several years, but I was curious to see how hiring a coach might give me the "boost" I needed. Through the accountability of the caltrac, weekly phone calls and keeping an exercise record, I experienced an increase in my endurance, learned how to use my exercise time more effectively, and came to see the value of cross-training.
Margy's gentle, encouraging and firm approach kept
me focused and consistent, even through a
time when I experienced an injury and couldn't
exercise in my same old ways. The skills I've
learned have become a part of who I am now,
and I use them daily. I highly recommend the
Fitness By Phone® program for people of all
ages and fitness levels.”

"I have lost 20+ pounds and many inches since
working with Emily as my Fitness By Phone®
Coach.
I started working out with Emily over a year ago
in the gym here as my personal trainer. Between
work, family and getting to the gym I started
to really hate the whole process because of
the time constraints. So Emily proposed this
new program, called Fitness By Phone®, as
an alternative. And I have to admit, I absolutely
love it. Not only does it work with my hectic
schedule but I have had great results.
I am approaching my one-year mark and will be
going to the maintenance side of the program.
I feel totally empowered to work out on my own
and I’ve cut my food intake quite a bit. I have
never stayed on any program for a year so to
reach this point is a real accomplishment for
me and says volumes about the value of Emily
and Fitness By Phone®’s program.”

“I was motivated to start the Fitness By Phone® Coaching
Program because I was overweight and suffering
from the many ailments that come with it:
low energy, frequent injuries from routine
actions, and lower self confidence. The
program really worked because Heather, who
is my Fitness By Phone® coach, led me through
a simple, but effective plan to get me back
into regular exercise and make a lifestyle
change.
The Caltrac accelerometer showed me the clear reality of calorie input vs. output and made me realize how low my weekday activity level really was. Using the heart monitor and engaging in interval training gave me something to concentrate on instead of the actual exercise and effort, making exercise more enjoyable. Our weekly calls also kept me accountable and focused. I have tried self organized plans before, none of which lasted longer than a month, and none yielded the same results.
Since that point early this year I'm pleased to say I have lost 20 lbs. (about 11% of my original weight)! All the other benefits; more energy, fewer pains and better self confidence came with it. The results even convinced my wife, who at first didn’t believe in fitness coaching program over the phone would work. I recommend it to everyone who asks how I did it.”
~ Mike R., Columbus, OH.. ~
“I am a 52- year old female, who has been a health
and fitness enthusiast for at least 30 years.
However, over the past few years I had become
very sporadic with exercise and my good eating
habits had deteriorated greatly. Then, I met
Ena in September of 2000. Ena was a fitness
trainer and also a Fitness By Phone® Coach.
When I first heard about Fitness By Phone®,
I was somewhat skeptical, because I didn’t understand
how anyone could get in shape with phone coaching.
But I decided to try it for three months. Within
a couple of weeks of talking to Ena on Monday
mornings for my week’s assignment, I was hooked!
In September, 2001 I ran my first 5K, which had always
been a heart’s desire, and I am training to
run the Peachtree Road Race in July. Four
weeks ago, I began the 12-week nutritional program
with Ena and I am absolutely amazed by how much
I have already learned. I am now making much
better food choices and have more energy, as
well as a sense of well-being. Ena and the Fitness
By Phone® approach has restored my body, soul
and spirit!!!”
~ Sue S., Clayton, GA. ~
“I used to hate to exercise. When I started other programs I tended to overdo it and this usually ended with an injury or burnout. Fitness By Phone has given me the focus to develop and stay with an exercise program, without getting burnt out or injured. The program is easy to understand and working with a coach keeps you motivated and accountable. Kris has been a phenomenal coach. I can honestly say I am in the best shape that I have ever been in my life. Thank you!”
~ Jim W., Gig Harbor, WA. ~
