My name is Ziggy Porzig. I am a personal trainer and the owner of a small gym in Oceanside CA called Unique Harmony Fitness. Let me start off by saying there is a huge jump from being a Trainer to owning your own gym. I genuinely thought that with 17 years of working as a Technician in Physical Therapy, planning and trade marking my Wellness business for 12 years and being a mobile Trainer for 3 years that I was “ready” to go off on my own. I was ready, but I should not have done it on my own.

As a Trainer, I desire to help people change their bodies and their lives. As a business owner, I desire to be successful so I can expand and continue to share the fact that at Unique Harmony Fitness “We Change Your Body one workout at a time”. After 6 months of trying to be a Trainer and a business owner, I knew I could be doing more for my clients as well as my business so I began to hunt for help.

As I browsed online, Coach Berry and his Dare to be fit program kept coming up. He was all over the place with before and after photos, how he and NPE (Net Profit Explosion) blew his business off the map, and how he was ultimately changing peoples lives. After careful review of the Dare to be fit website I was convinced. He was the Man. What is this man doing to transform his clients and grow his business? What ever it was-I needed to know. I wanted to learn first hand what Coach Berry and the Dare to be fit program was all about.

I approached Coach Berry and asked him if he would consider training me for the month of October as a client and to share some ideas with me as a business owner to be more successful in my fitness business. He quickly agreed and I committed to train 3 times a week with the goal of gaining lean muscle mass and an education on his method of training and business concepts.

During my time with Coach, he was very attentive and he treated me with kindness, compassion, and absolute respect as a fellow trainer and business owner. Coach taught me his way of transformation based on showing up a given number of days (based on client’s schedule and goals), doing exercises in a specific way to get more Bang for my buck, and doing it in an organized simple manner. But it didn’t stop there! He took his time to work on my body where I have a lot of issues in order for me to have some relief during exercise. Talk about personal service. Ty, Coach’s son, was also available and very helpful to me.

By my last (13th) session I had gained: muscle mass, abdominal strength, knowledge of how to activate muscles more effectively, and a training system that brings results.

It didn’t stop there. Coach also allowed me to purchase a few pieces of equipment from his surplus AND let me use his vehicle to get to my gym! Are you serious?!

But it didn’t stop there. Coach also spent time encouraging me as he shared about his journey, gave me tons of contacts and information regarding nutrition, business, marketing, and how he uses social media to promote his programs. Wheew!
Coach never stops giving. It doesn’t Stop.

In closing, I appreciate you Coach Berry as a man, a Coach and a businessman. You are in a league of your own, and you are a gift that has kept on giving. Thank you for encouraging me to grow as a Man, a Trainer and a Business owner. I strongly encourage you to create that Mentorship Program for Trainers. You Rock Coach!

I recently visited Coach Berry at his Oceanside studio, and all I can say is “WOW!”

Originally, I was hoping to see what someone a little farther “down the road” in the fitness business was doing, and maybe pick up a few tips and tricks…

When I left Coach’s gym, a had at least 3 MAJOR pieces of the fitness business puzzle that I was fairly clueless about when I walked in earlier, not to mention a lot more.

Coach Berry spent TWO quality hours of his free time, taking me step by step through everything he does that has made him so successful. I don’t know very many people who genuinely care as much as the Coach, and it shows why his clients love him so much and why he is as successful as he is!

When I walked out the door, I had a renewed vigor just from being around his contagious energy. Not only that, but I had two folders and one CD PACKED with tools, blueprints and information that will probably take me a YEAR to digest, but will undoubtedly save me countless hours spinning my wheels.

Thanks, Coach! You are the MAN!

My name is Bianca Aiono, I’m a Personal Training studio owner living on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland Australia and I built my business out of the boot of my car 3 years ago with a single client. Today my team of 5 and I have helped almost 1000 Sunshine Coast residents lose almost 7000 kilos of body fat and I have won multiple awards for my fully equipped private studio. I first heard about Coach Berry when I was just starting out, when I watched a video of a community public speaking event in which he listed all the amazing results he had got his clients. I was totally captured by the amazing results his women experienced but also his ability to remember all the personal details of each client which makes him connect with them, and everyone in the audience relate to them. I decided then that this is the kind of fitness business owner and public speaker I wanted to become.

It was only recently however that I connected with Coach Berry over Facebook, as naturally I had thought that being in the states, being as successful as he was, there was little opportunity for me to actually talk to Coach Berry, but I continued looking and learning at his website and YouTube videos, wistfully wondering what was his secret recipe. I was starting to struggle taking the next step in building my business, I had forgotten the fundamentals and I was feeling undervalued and underpaid. It felt like my business couldn’t survive long term without me putting in the long hours, late nights and early mornings – and it was depressing and frustrating me. I felt like I was butting my head against a glass ceiling, there was a piece of the puzzle I wasn’t getting in order to continue the same growth I had achieved in my beginning years. Sometimes I just feel like throwing my hands up in the air and running away to join the circus !

What an amazing turn around after just one (2 and a half hour ! ) conversation with Coach.

Coach Berry revealed to me:

• a step by step plan on how to get clients in amazing shape
• numerous business building strategies and highly effective and dollar productive networking strategies
• a way to save my business $5,000 a month in printing and advertising strategies that weren’t working for me
• an understanding as to why he is the juggernaut he is in the fitness industry and his community.
• how to recession proof my business
• how to ultimately help more people, earn more money, and gain more freedom ( what more do you need in life ! ? )

It is a true insight into the kind of person Coach is that he revealed not only his “secret recipe” of training but all the low cost business building fundamentals that I had forgotten – but I will now be able to implement again with conviction. He has touched the lives of so many trainers and clients alike who sing his praises as though he was one of their oldest and dearest  friends. I am a world away and yet I feel that he has personally invested in me to continue carrying the torch, and that I am a part of something bigger than just myself. As an entrepreneur you are often taking risks, sometimes they pay off , sometimes they don’t – and if you don’t have the right people around you to mentor you through the process it can feel like you’re out on the raw and ragged edge by yourself.

Thank you Coach for the renewed energy and vigour at which I will now smash through the glass ceiling and rocket my business to the next level. I look forward to updating you soon

Warmest regards

Israel LoBue

My name is Israel LoBue a Fit Body Boot Camp Owner in Southern California. I met Coach Berry a true expert, at Fitness Business Summit 11 Conference in Orange County, California. I was extremely impressed and grateful for what he had to share with me. He was very easy to talk to and was so eager to help me out by share all his extensive knowledge in order to help me grow my business. Coach Berry’s Studio Dare to be Fit located in Oceanside was only about 40 miles north from where I train. My wife and I was extended and invitation to come check out his studio after the conference. Coach Berry spent over 3 hours with me and my wife (who was 9 months pregnant at the time) and showed us so many things that are currently working for him to explode his business. I’m very thankful for the time he spent with us and the patience he showed to help us learn. Coach is truly a top notch expert in our field and I feel more confident and ready to use what he taught me and apply it to explode my own business. Thank you Coach Berry for all your help and support!

I stepped into Coach Berry’s amazing studio Dare to be Fit and to my surprise I didn’t find a run of the mill studio as I have seen many times in the past. This was a state of the art personal training studio! It’s larger than most personal training studios. Dare to be Fit has an insane amount of equipment and more importantly it has Coach Berry. This Man has more experience in this field than most trainers that I know put together. He is a wealth of knowledge and information and he loves to help people out. As a trainer getting my business started, I found his advice to be relevant and very valuable to me. If you are a trainer who need help, clarity, and direction then Coach Berry is THE guy to know. He’s been where you are, and he’s made it (Coach is living his dream). Like I said earlier, Coach Berry is a great business man, great coach and overall a great guy. If you live in Oceanside or any of the adjacent areas and are looking to lose weight and tone up, give the Coach a call! Don’t waste your time training with your run of the mill trainers. Just “Dare to be Fit” with the Coach!

Thanks Coach Berry for setting me on the right path.

Ali Morrow

My name is Ali Morrow, I am 25 years old and have finally decided to become a personal trainer. I have been inspired for years by my fitness expert Coach Berry! Coach Berry began training me when I was only 15 years old. He was able to help me to achieve a strong, healthy and lean body. I hadn’t seen Coach Berry for nearly 10 years since moving to Santa Barbara for college. Now 10 years, I decided to track this man with a plan down! I looked him up online, checked out his website and just had to give him a call to express how inspired and moved I was to see such amazing results in ALL of his clients and the smiles on their faces! I knew then that after even 10 years I had to somehow make that 3.5-hour trip. I was hoping that he would take some time to share some of his wisdom and allow me to shadow to gain some experience. Coach Berry invited me to come by the studio and stated that he would be more than happy to assist me because I was still one of his “angels”! He spent nearly three hours with me the first day sharing amazing insight to the business and the training side as well. I received so much information that I was so completely blown away (honestly!). I attended a NASM CPT workshop the following 2 days and they touched on marketing tools, techniques, etc. The information was good but had no comparison to what I had learned the day before with Coach Berry. I smiled inside feeling like I had the “inside” secrets and tools! I received another phone call from Coach to return Sunday morning at 7AM for MORE information! He truly wants me to be successful with his giving heart. I was given copies of his DVD’s of him conducting health and fitness seminars for the community members of Oceanside, CA. In addition, he loaded up my laptop with what some would consider propriety information for his “Dare to be Fit” program.

Coach Berry is truly an expert in the nutrition, health and fitness arena. He shared over 20 photo albums of social proof and over 30 years of experience to back-up my claim. Like I said, I have personally experienced Coach Berry’s ability to transform so many never seen anyone that does it better with an open heart. I can honestly say that I feel so blessed to have someone like Coach Berry in my life and willing to take me under his wing. I am planning to come back and spend a week with Coach Berry so that I can become not just a personal trainer, but a health and fitness expert like my Coach! I just can’t get enough!

Thank you Coach!!!

Always your student!

Thursday I sent out an email talking about the “King of Social Proof” Coach RB Berry of Oceanside, CA and a 3-step formula on how you get more more ‘social proof’ to use in your own marketing.

The first step in the entire process is to OVERDELIVER and give your clients everything they need to feel supported and achieve tremendous results.

Because once you’ve done THAT… it all gets pretty easy to accomplish steps #2 and 3.

Having an attitude of OVERDELIVERING to your clients really is a “Give to Get” Philosophy.

And it’s one that we practice and preach here at NPE.

Today I wanted to share with you a great email we received this week from VIP Member Angela Ramos who spent last week visiting her hometown of Oceanside, CA and stopped in to see VIP Member Coach Berry.

There are numerous lessons in here about WHY Coach Berry has become the “King of Social Proof” and it all comes back to his practicing the “Give To Get” Philosophy. He doesn’t just practice it with his clients, he practices it selflessly with everyone he meets.

Here’s Angela’s message:

“I just had to share this with NPE. I am currently on vacation in my hometown, Oceanside, California visiting my family and attending my high school reunion.

A few months back I was reading something in my VIP material that mentioned Coach Berry of Oceanside. I thought, “Wow! Someone is cranking it in my hometown!” I knew the next time I went home to visit I was going to somehow get myself in this guy’s studio.

I sent Coach Berry an email about two weeks before my vacation to see if he would allow me to come in and visit thinking I might get a half hour of his time, if I was lucky. He agreed to see me and gave me his contact info. I was stoked! I immediately contacted Camelia to see if she had any advice or words of wisdom for me to make the most out of my visit. She simply said, “Enjoy the show!” I had no idea what that meant but I was going to soon find out.

Upon initially walking through his studio door, I was bombarded with HUGE posters everywhere of his “angels”. There are NO bare walls in his place. Every inch is covered in a poster/picture of a client or motivational quote! I can see why he has no problem closing any prospects! On his front desk is a binder that is at least 5 inches thick full of even more before and after pictures. I started thinking back to my measly wall of fame and realized I had some work to do when I get home. Ha!

He graciously spent hours of his time over the course of a week giving me pointers, showing me the ropes for small group training, introducing me to his son, his clients, taking me on a bike ride to the beach and through my old neighborhood. He is down to earth and truly cares about his clients. I have been blessed to have been able to spend so much time with him and it’s not over yet. I have one more day left and he is again going to share selflessly with me the tricks of the trade.

Coach Berry has proven to me how awesome NPE is. This is an amazing group of professionals. I am proud to be a part of this organization. Coach Berry is an amazing fitness professional that I am honored to now call part of my family.

Thanks Coach Berry and NPE.”

Take aways from this post:

• Do you have “social proof” covering all the walls and multiple binders 5″ thick of client before and after photos?
• If not, have you set a goal around how many people’s lives you want to change and then capture their success stories over the next 3, 6, and 12 months?
• How can you and your staff continue to OVERDELIVER to your clients and the people you serve? Make a list and prioritize implementation.
• How can you keep a “give to get” mindset and attitude in your head and in your heart throughout your daily interactions with those you meet… not with the expectation of gaining something, but just because it’s the ‘right thing’ to do?

I’m honored that we have Coach Berry as a VIP member and part of the NPE Community. If you want to come hang with Coach and spend some time getting to know all the other great members we have, be sure to register for MEGA TRAINING coming October 21-23 in Orlando, FL.

We’ve gonna have a blast and hope you can join us.

To your success,
Sean
