There is nothing more valuable to your business then networking. PTU has always been the 'secret spot' to find the brightest and hardest working professionals in the fitness industry. I know my company became more successful from the ideas and contacts that came directly from PTU. It would be a mistake not to check out what is going on in PTU. You owe it to your business."

-- Pat Beith
Co-Owner
AthletesAcceleration.com

"Back when my career was just starting to roll, PTU was exactly what I needed. It was the perfect blend of articles and audio interviews related to 'business smarts', marketing ideas, system operations and the ever supportive members found on the interactive discussion forum. I have only just begun my journey in what I know will be a fruitful and fulfilling career, but I credit PTU with launching me along this path."

"Behind every good man they say lies a great woman, well honestly behind my success in the Fitness Industry lies PTU! PTU is where I've met mentors, friends, coaches who helped me when I was first starting out as a personal training newbie. I had to say without PTU and the community of great people there, I would not be as successful as I am today. I thank God for the great men and women that help PTU be the secret "elite" group in the finess industry."

PTU is responsible for turning my business life around. I know that sounds a bit over the top. In August of 2005 I was doing 1:1 personal training in a gym setting making next to nothing. I came across PTU and read about the success of others. The top people in the fitness industry were sharing their secrets to success. I learned about the boot camp business and got tons of advice and encouragement to strike out on my own and start my own boot camp business. Whenever I had questions or hit a roadblock the people on the PTU discussion boards were there.

To make a long testimony short, I went from making a few hundred dollars a month to making close to $20,000 a month (that is not a typo)!! I wouldn't have had a clue about getting started without the advice of the fitness experts who shared freely on the PTU website.

PTU has been an invaluable source of information, and more importantly,
POWERFUL CONTACTS, that helped me build my business from scratch into one of
the top online fitness info product companies in the world. The networking
alone will be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
