When you’re aiming for wealth and success, would you ask a broke person how to get rich?
Probably not. A broke person might have amazing theories on wealth, and they’ll sound extremely convincing, but let’s be real—they’re not the multi-millionaire you’re hoping to emulate. This logic applies to the fitness industry too. With a plethora of gyms and personal trainers to choose from, it’s easy to fall for smooth talkers who promise quick results. So, wouldn’t it be naive to seek advice from someone who clearly hasn’t achieved the results you want?
Imagine this: you’re at a gym, surrounded by personal trainers giving advice. If these trainers haven’t achieved your desired outcome and yet have an array of magical formulas and convincing theories, it’s like asking a broke person for financial tips. If they haven’t succeeded themselves, why would their advice work for you?
Now, let’s flip the script. Imagine asking a multi-millionaire how to get rich. That makes sense, right? The problem is, that people often think, “I don’t want to be a millionaire; I just want a little extra success.” But even for modest goals, you should still seek advice from someone with an abundance of success—not the broke guy.
The same applies to fitness. If your goals are modest—toning up, gaining a bit of muscle, losing some fat—you should still go to the trainer who’s super toned, ripped, and muscular. They have the experience and results you want.

Many people rush to achieve success and eagerly take shortcuts. But whether it’s wealth, fitness, or relationships, shortcuts often lead to disappointment, not faster results.
To achieve success, follow the path of those who’ve already succeeded. Even if you don’t want to go as far as they have, it’s still the same road. Choose a trainer who clearly excels, not someone with average or no results. Even if you’re initially intimidated, it will be worth it in the end.
That intimidation you feel? It’s their drive, passion, focus, and confidence—not arrogance. Successful trainers are often approachable and love helping others succeed. I know I do. Our job is to help you achieve your goals. We spread knowledge, and you might be pleasantly surprised to find we’re humble and not intimidating at all. Our passion, focus, and confidence might just rub off on you, ensuring your success.
Remember, “Don’t ask a broke person how to get rich.” So, don’t ask an unfit trainer how to get in shape. Choose wisely, and succeed with success.
