  Ok Messaging didn't work so here it is!!!!! Hi! My name is Lindsey, and I know personal training is a job where you deserve to be paid well because you are helping others. It’s an awesome profession that helps people achieve goals and become healthier in all aspects of their lives. I totally understand the challenges personal trainers face when working at some big chain gyms. The gym gets the bulk of the money your client is paying to train with you. Sometimes you’re asked to take 2 clients at once so the gym makes double money in an hour, but you make the same hourly wage. Some gyms are also restrictive on the types of exercises you do with your clients. They don’t want people to see too many “weird” drills, even though within 4 years that innovative concept you showed your client is the next big thing in training..... On the flip side, it sure is difficult getting a base clientele if you don’t have a real, professional, LOCATION to work out of. What a catch. So I wanted to let you know that we’re now making our gym available to personal trainers at a VERY competitive rate, with freedoms you will not find at other big gyms.Our location is beautiful, spacious, very central, easy to find, has TONS of free parking, and close to the C-Train. Our rates are awesome (you can pay as little as $20/1-on-1 session to use our space....and charge your clients whatever you want), and you can host group or private training classes any time of day (6 am-9 pm). You don’t have to get locked in to some term contract and there is flexibility on the amount of sessions you want to reserve. If you feel you will only use us 5 times a month, that’s what you pay for! Or you could use the gym hundreds of hours per month! It’s up to you. We also have a retail area where you could consign any items you’d like to sell! Our gym is immaculately clean, fully-equipped with everything you’d expect to find in a “regular” gym AND we also have heavy bag areas and a plyometric/ “cave man” training area. If you’ve never used these types of training tools before we’d be happy to show you how you can use these awesome areas with your clients. Even if you’re already working out of another location and you’d like extra cash from external clients; or you’re trying to start up your own personal training business, this is a perfect way to make the move into earning more money and changing more lives for the better. I’d love to talk to you more about this great opportunity, so please get a hold of me (or any of our staff) in any of the following ways Email us at info@canuckles.com with any questions Call me at 403-510-1022 to talk about it further (this is my direct line, if you end up leaving a voicemail we will get back to you right away!) Come see the gym! Our address is 4628 Macleod Tr SW (same plaza as The back Alley Nightclub etc). Come visit anytime 12-9 pm mon-fri, 10 am-3 pm sat, 10 am-2 pm sun.Here is the link to a youtube vid that gives you a brief walkthrough of out gym (we have other vids on our youtube channel too if you want to see more). Just copy and paste to your browser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGg8XQfyu00&list=UUHwHH4 jLID2U-u-659 rueiw&index=8&feature=plcp Talk soon! Lindsey PS. I don’t think the video shows it, but we have Men’s and Women’s change rooms that are spotless any time of day and have showers. All Not a dojo but a real world class MMA Gym ;)www.youtube.com
