Virtual Fitness Trainer “officially” launched in 2000.
After working in the fitness industry I was deeply concerned about how often clients and members within the gyms I had worked at were mistreated – like they were just a number! And anyone who knows me from back then, also knows I often went head to head with management of those gyms going into bat on behalf of members that were being mistreated. I felt sick to my stomach, disheartened and not to mention, hopping mad that this was taking place! It went against everything I believed in.
It made me determined to provide an alternative and do things the way I felt they should be done. Giving clients a strong, positive community and environment where I could provide quality workouts and advice where clients could participate, achieve their fitness goals and know that they’re genuinely valued and cared for.
VFT has evolved over the years and we now provide VFT’s Online Private Membership Site and VFT’s Free Online Fitness Magazine.
After working in the fitness industry for over 16 years I’ve learned a great deal from my clients, members and visitors – and my mission is for VFT to always over-deliver to help you with your fitness journey.
My mission since the inception of VFT (Virtual Fitness Trainer) and now continues with…
NO B.S. “Cutting Through the Hype”
Approach To Fitness
• Fun, Hot, NO B.S. Content – Cutting Through The Hype In Fitness!
Providing quality fitness content with “real” informative hints and tips that folk can actually use! Putting to bed the hype, and going above and beyond, what the average run-of-the-mill fitness site content provides. With some fun and humour thrown in! Because let’s face it… laughter is the best medicine.
Any piece of content that doesn’t support, reinforce or prove VFT’s concept, passion and mission, (eg… that is junky, faddy or crappy) – just doesn’t make the cut. If it’s rubbish – we don’t want to know about it!
• You Know Exactly What You’re Getting With VFT
Trustworthy, quality content with tough love. You’ll always know exactly what you’re getting with VFT, what VFT is about – and where we stand when it comes to fitness B.S. and hype – that’s right – it’s out the door.
• Coming From A Personal Trainer – Who’s Been There and Seen All The B.S.!
Coming from a personal trainer, who’s seen the poor victim’s of fitness and weight loss scams and pills – it annoys the crap out of me! I can’t stand seeing people getting scammed!
Heck, before I got involved in fitness – many moons ago
– I was one of those folk myself. I know what it’s like to fall into those pitfalls of being sucked into fads – it’s plain wrong and it stinks!
VFT’s goal is to dig out the good stuff and siphon out all the B.S., so that visitors and customers of VFT are getting sheer valuable content – what the scammers in the fitness industry don’t want you to know .
• Go-To Fitness Team and Site
VFT is your “go-to” person, team and site for folk wanting “real” expert advice on their fitness issues. Cool, raw, fitness news and advice from the top fitness experts.
From folk that know the drill, know the truth – and care, like myself – about educating you on what it really takes to get into shape.
• VFT – The Fitness Reporter
Reporting no-holds-barred advice on fitness!
With interviews, Q and A videos, workouts and advice getting to the core – and inside secrets – and dont’ forget the fun and humour – when it comes to kicking arse with your fitness regime!
I’m dead-set serious about helping you with your fitness transformation.
If there’s something you want to see more of then post a comment on VFT’s blog and let me know! We’re here for ya!
On that note… Welcome to VFT! It’s great to meet you and I look forward to speaking with you soon.
