Hi Joe, I wanted you to know how happy I am in the academy. You and Mike are so informative and inspirational.
I feel as if I am already a part of this industry and that I will offer my unique take on weight control. As I continue on my fat loss/Lean gain project. I started at 257 two years ago and fumbled my way to 232 this summer using inconsistent nutrition and and self training. In July, I restarted with special tools I developed and very marketable, I went from 232 to 212 at this writing with a confirmed lean gain of 5 lbs. I trademarked The UnTrainer to prepare for next year after certification so I have much to learn. I intend to focus on the overweight crowd out of which The UnTrainer was born. I am planning public speaking, 3 hour seminar, and private training of groups and individuals. My personal plan is a 20lb muscle gain and 70 lbs fat loss with 9% body fat.  I will need your guidance in this effort….Sincerely Gary Smith, the guy who sits with the Blondes and Fiber.

First child and its due the day after my birthday. LOL. I’m very happy and i wanted to share this with you because you have helped/taught me a lot with all of your advice and knowledge. Thank you very much for being a positive influence on my life! Take care joe

Joe&Mike

I wanted to send a Thank You for the information that you gave me on the first day of class. It feels like I’m starting all over again but with my eyes completely open this time. I practiced what was you and Mike showed the class on Saturday on Sunday and Tuesday. I lifted a lot lighter but  got the same work out in less time. Kept the intensity as high as possible of course. I have to say that in one class i have learned more than in 3 years of practical work and guessing and checking (hahaha). Thank you once again. See you on Saturday, hopefully i show up at the right place this time. hahaha

–Carlos Cardenas

I am super excited, i really enjoyed the course and i learned a lot and i can’t wait to get out and use it, i have a real passion for it I’ve discovered 🙂 and as far as my release its up in the air at this point so it looks like i will be here with plenty of time to complete the PT course.

Also for the clinical hours part i was wondering who it will be or like where is it at and how does that work when i do get released? ill be living in ——- the same place Carey is going to.
Thank you Joe for being so approachable and helpful through the course.

Hi Joe,

I loved the course and I know Megan did too! The course is extremely detailed and informative. In fact, I have used the books frequently with other inmates in my unit that had questions about nutrition and what are the best combinations of foods to eat based on the options we have here. It has been very useful.

I am really excited to get into the personal trainer course, which I am starting today! I am so grateful we found your courses and I can work toward something while I am here that I can use when I get home. Thank you so much!

Talk to you soon,
Jen

Hello Joe, Happy Holidays, Good to hear from you. I live in Burbank and am a Nutrition Director for Senior Citizen facility Now. Go PROPTA.

Tammy Reese / Professional Trainer – Boxer

So, this just happened, and I am overjoyed with happy feelings because PROPTA gave me one of the most memorable experiences in my life. I highly recommend getting certified by PROPTA.

They offer an extensive number of certifications for personal trainers, nutritionist, weightlifting coaches, dance & fitness instructors, youth & health fitness coaches and kickboxing instructor certifications. The certifications are globally recognized and have affiliations in a hundred and eighty-three nations in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

I was trained by the best because the instructors and even the owner, Joe Antouri, held titles such as former Mr. USA and former world kickboxer and boxer champions. I felt like a entered a family because the owner, teachers and coaches were rooting for me and made sure that I passed.

I was offered personal zoom meetings if there was any information I that I did not understand. I was receiving email check-ins regularly asking me how my studies were going and asked if I had any questions. Because of my coaches’ expertise my kickboxing skills improved in many ways. They taught me to execute more technical moves with more precision and ease. So, they made me certified bad ass. LOL.

What I can really attest to is that the education and training was excellent and one of kind. The personal touch that PROPTA employees offered did not stop once I got certified because we are still in touch today. Thanks, PROPTA.

Hey Joe,

 I just wanted to reply, that yes I am doing great, I can not tell you how much I love this program, just like I knew I would. I have completed all the online courses, there are a couple videos that are duplicate and a couple that did not work. Thank you

PROPTA ACADEMY is an efficient training program if you’re looking to develop, to improve your skills and acquiere specific technics of bodybuilding and nutrition to become a professional trainer and personal coach. All the staff and the management are available and dedicated to your success and learning.

Champion Miss Bikini IFBB North of Israel 2017, Vice-Champion Miss Bikini IFBB Israel 2016.

Founder of FITNESSCYN and LEVONTIN CENTER at Tel Aviv. (Private clinic: osteopath, podiatrist and fitness coach.)

I have good experience with PROPTA and Joe Antouri. Online study and exam is always difficult in another language but it was quite interesting. I was learning a lot of new things especially during the exam as it required a lot of research beside the training material. The course gives a good basic knowledge for a long learning process as there is something new to learn every day in this industry. Thank you Joe and PROPTA.

Hey Joe
This is Anthony, I just wanted to give you a quick update. Since getting certified from your school, a lot has happened. I started off by working for fit body boot camp in Cypress and La Habra same owner. From their I met some pretty interesting people, one client offered me to train them at their work. I started off working two days a week, after the first they asked me to come 5 days week. The knowledge I got from PROPTA helped out tremendously. I was able to whip up some workouts on the spot.

So, word got spread around about me, the CFO of the company asked if I could train him. He was ranked #1 in his age group for Iron man races. I have an extensive background in marathon running, so it was right up my ally. The point of this was to let you know I’m working a lot less hours and making more money. Thank you Joe and the PROPTA staff for everying.

Hey Joe, Kris here. I wanted to let you know how things are going since the personal trainer course completion. In the past eight years I completed two other CPT programs. They did consist of good knowledge but they were not the sort of quality that changes your life. In the last month since completion I have experienced the greatest change to myself and the people I train. Both in terms of size and shape. Also a great increase in vascularity. I am very excited to be part of the PROPTA family and I cannot wait to see what the future holds.

Last week I cleaned up the carbs and dairy from my food. I went from 174 lbs. at 6.8% body fat to 168 lbs. at 5.3% body fat. Food seems to always be the problem. Am looking forward to nutrition classes to better myself and pass some knowledge onto others.

Hi Joe, i faxed you my certified food handler card and certificate this morning. let me know if you get it?? i have been doing lots of nutritional work in the last month and will continue to keep all my records and journals throughout the summer… until i start the certified nutrition specialist course. I’m really enjoying everything and gaining more and more confidence everyday! so thank you!!:) Just wanted to give you the update… i have also emailed jem welsh to try and do some fridays with him in his office. i’ll keep in touch and thank you, Ali Pavoni

Hey Joe, I really learned a lot from the course. I’m excited to begin a new career. You have been a great help and i know i will be emailing you for more information. Gary B.

Joe, I have been wanting to tell you that I never dreamed to be sitting down with the PROS and exchanging words, especially about a subject that I like, for once in my life, being at the academy, I felt so good, not only did I learn so much more than I have ever learned from other certifications, but I had a lot of fun learning. Especially when it got to the practical application, you guys know what you are doing. No one taught this before like you do. I do have other certifications under my belt and they are going to end up in the garbage, what a waist of money and time, I cannot wait to see you again next Saturday, I am so excited. Please tell Mike Sable that we love his lecture. I know this is for six weeks but I wish I can come to the academy every week, it is so great. Joanna Beckwith

Joe, You are so great, I love the lectures especially with Rob , with my age in the late forties, I am sure I can get some elders to train with me now I understand the theory of proper application, Mike Sable is great, I cannot believe I was training my clients wrong all these years and nobody noticed. Now when I am at the gym, I look at everybody and I wonder where they got certified from, so sad. But that is OK for me because all their clients will end up my clients soon. I promise. You and your team are the best. Jackeline P.

Dear Joe, I am still only 1/3 through both certification tests. I just could not stop what I have been producing to get them in on time. With 5 events, and two seminars booked, 15 clients and more signing daily, and the stuff I have assembled to sell at the events and on line, I have that knowing thing about completing the tests but can’t create time or maybe it is a priority issue. The insurance came through, business license, and I have taken all those liability papers that clients must sign and rewritten them into a smart 3 page with lawyer approval. You will love that for your students. Golds wants me as an independent trainer next week and my pool training experience for the over 40 crowd. I will make myself available for session 5 if you want a full presentation of what I developed through the academy. I now have a methodology for getting clients daily, consulting, and developing innovative ideas with nutrition and training. I am training trainers in nutrition. PROPTA needs to know that the material is far deeper in its impact than you are letting on. You guys have given me a gift. I need advice here about getting conditional certifications for 60-90 days so I can get the tests done. I am so busy with clients and I have not even gotten my certifications yet, Please advise, this train has left the academy……..Gary the Untrainer. PS> I have had calls from other trainers in Riverside about licensing The UnTrainer concept. Holy Mackerel. Gary Smith

Joe, I guess I want the consultation for myself and then I modify it for others. I want to be able to pull off my shirt in my classes as a testament of possibility. I need to accelerate my workouts and eating to do that. I need to know what area and exercises frequency etc to concentrate on a final reshape. I have put on nearly 10 lbs of lean but have man boobs and fat on abdomen still coming off a little each week. On Saturday, you can use me as a mannequin. I am not shy about this. I want a Men’s Fitness Look first. Lean, Strong, Healthy. See you Saturday. As always, the support is awesome, What a mentor!…..Thank you……gary Gary Smith

Dear Joe, one of the reasons I write you is to keep that mentor relationship alive and keep a sense of reality. I started passing out biz cards and a special offer of free services until I get my official certification papers which I figure will be by July 6. I have 5 responders. This will be a good mock experience of client reaction to me so I can develop the UnTrainer difference. On that, I am organizing a Diet Book Burning Bonfire near the end of August at the Barbecue Pits at the beach by LAX as a promotion of public awareness of the The UnTrainer and the ineffectiveness of Diet Programs. Got any thoughts on that idea……. gary, the untrainer is of sound mind and body. I think I have a Mike Sable over the top virus. Gary Smith

Hi Joe, I did 12 classes with you. How cool is that to be in the presence of “Greatness” in this industry. To have Samir, You, and Mike recognize where I am going in the business provides me with foundational confidence to press on and get up this morning eat my egg protein oatmeal and do a shoulder, ab, thigh work out before church. My pastor is 100 lbs overweight. I am getting ready to write him a motivating proposal. I get him transformed and the congregation sees it each week. No doubt, they will chase after me. Seeking high profile Fat people like Pastors, teachers, lawyers, nurses, doctors will create a momentum. I desire to help your organization after I get going. I have some ideas about that. First things first. In July, I will have completed a 75lb fat loss journey with a 10-15 lb muscle gain. It covers a two year story of character building with Desire, Drive, Determination, and Discipline. See I was awake in class. I did take a before picture at 260lbs. Yuk, who was that. Mr. Slug. Will send you pictures of my private gym now under organization and my vehicle wrap set for July 6 installation…..see you in two weeks for final workout and test are coming by the end of this month. You are my champion, sir. One lucky trainer

Hi Joe- Thank you so much! I feel honored to be part of such an organization!! I will look forward to my stuff in the mail! I will be keeping in touch, talk to you soon… Ali Pavoni

Hello Joe, Thank-you for the forms. Well we didn’t have a chance to talk on Saturday but I really, really want to talk to you about what you think about opening a “TRAIN” in Ventura county. I have always wanted to start a gym but I know there is a lot of competition. One thing about my gym would be that I would have PROPTA backing me up….:-} Hopefully, we can talk on Saturday. Thanks for all your help. Susie Pentoja

Hi Joe! I am really enjoying the academy. Thank you, Christy LeFevre

Thanks joe I love this class and am excited to be learning from the best. I might drag a friend along to class next week. she is visiting me for 2 days. she was my first personal trainer way back in 1988? is it possible;) I like to show her how you do things, awesome school?? thank you , christin Christin Cleaver

Hi Joe, Thanks for the Certification diploma it is beautiful! and for all your help and support ..Rich ps please thank Mike as well for me..!! Rich Minzer

Joe, I was writing a man about a job and commented on Propta and physique conditioning. Thought I would pass along some of what I wrote. Physique conditioning, being science, art and intuition elevates the everyday fitness experience from the mundane to the level of attention and care previously only available to the stars as well those in the elite strata of body enhancement, such as models and bodybuilders. The development of a body for fitness as well as ascetics requires a specific routine and daily regimen that tends to escape the average fitness enthusiast. Propta will be bringing the secrets of bodybuilding and physique conditioning to the masses of this nation, as well as the global community that it serves. I have received word that the Physique conditioning certification will be available soon and I hope to attain the additional certification of physique conditioning. Take Care Larry

Dear Joe, Hope this mail reaches you well and in good health. In 2007 I receive a Private Trainer 1 certificate from your prestigious organization. Claude Groulx Master Mr. Olympia,was my instructor , and he helped us tremendously to receive the certificates. He was very professional , and during the lectures took his time to explain everything we needed to know in detail. This certificate has helped me on a personal level to achieve fitness goals i would never dreamed of reaching on my own. In addition, has helped my clients reach their goals and maintain them throughout. I have spoken to Claude lately about receiving and advanced certificate in private training from PROPTA. I am very much interested in this matter and would like to begin as soon as possible. After your approval of course. Kind Regards, Abdullah Al Askari – Kuwait

Good evening, Joe I just wanted to let you know I’ve decided to apply for enrollment in your May 2nd Academy. One of my buddy’s, Matt Byerts, suggested I look into the Academy and he has nothing but great things to say about his experience with the PTA. Matt and I could talk for hours about nutrition and bodybuilding and his recommendation carries a lot of weight with me. I am truly exited. Thanks and take care. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to learn and become involved. Dan Lederer

Mr. Joe, I love all the things you and the PROPTA Team are doing I have been forwarding your info to people I feel would be interested. I also like the books your using for your certifications. Sam M

Hi Joe, how are you it’s been a while since we talked, so I just wanted to send you a quick email to ask how you are doing ? Hope everything is fine and business is also going well. Had such a great time last year in summer. It was a fantastic experience. Would so much love to come back and visit you again. I am currently in the US in TN visiting, but do not know if I have the enough time to come to Los Angeles. Becoming a personal trainer in the US would be awesome, but I guess that is not so easy with all the visa etc… Well, I have my german website set up with some pics in there of my last show in September. If you got the time, please take a look at it and let me know, what you think. It is: http://www.hertlers-fitnesstraining.com Have a great weekend and I look forward to hearing from you. Sven Hetler from Germany

Joe, It was a very constructive and positive experience being trained by and being tested by Heinz Senior IFBB PRO. Miami and Propta, as well as myself are very lucky to have Heinz as a Personal Trainer and Propta Director. I will relate this story to help highlight the importance of individuals such as Heinz. Initially upon discovering Propta I tried to see if the local Golds gym could somehow find its way to support Propta in some manner. I was very disappointed in the response I received. Something along the lines of why would we want that here. I wondered what was the meaning of the rebuff. Much to my chagrin it was bodybuilding and the IFBB being labeled a meat-head syndrome. I myself have always been led by the bodybuilding spirit while exercising in the gym and amazed by its vast amount of science, whether I considered myself a bodybuilder or not. I can look back today and realize this, however never knew what it was in all those Muscle and Fitness, Flex, Musclemag International, Muscular Development magazines and cutting edge supplements by Weider, Champion, Twinlabs as well as the others that kept me going. The unknown soldier of the fitness world, the spirit of bodybuilding, gives even to those of us that do not realize its presence. The general fitness public just isn’t well aware of or educated in what science, motivation, spirit and care that bodybuilding and its people bring to the training table for each and every one of us, regardless of our fitness pursuits. Heinz’s presentation was and is exemplary as well as informative and goes a long way to dispel all the myths and negative imaging that go along with bodybuilding and being a bodybuilder as veiwed by an unaware public. I sure wish the manager of the Golds Gym could have seen and heard Propta Director Heinz Senior on the topic of personal training and the training of others. I think his response would be more like, we sure need that here! I look back and think about the many that were lost along the way for whatever reason or have passed on. The Metzners, Vince, Bertil, Dan and the many other knowns and unknowns with different names yet similar stories and experiences that have occurred in similar yet different ways. One thing rings true continually, in reality, United we Stand and with the likes of Propta and Heinz Senior exemplifying what we have all strove to be and create in ourselves as well as others, we will all, each and every one of us, live on in the spirit of bodybuilding, forevermore. Take Care Larry Truth And Reality Peace, Love And Harmony Larry Moore

Hi Joe and Staff, I loved the 6 academy classes. What a revelation on mistakes and myths still prevalent in gyms today as well as all the information shared. As a businessman, I have been to the gamut of seminars. ProPTA are life changers. I have changed my workouts to conform to what we have learned and am plowing through the written material and the recommended books. I need to be assigned to a IFBB Pro in Venice for the internship hours as well as the Weight Loss/Nutritional internship. Just give me names and numbers to call and I am on it. My food handling class in on December 9. Working on the test this next few weeks. At your service PROPTA, Thank you Gary M.

I love it Joe.You guys are awesome.I’m already telling other people who have trainers what they should be looking for Dominic Ferrera – Hells Angels

Hi Joe- Just wanna say thanks for everything, from the knowledge regarding proper training technique, form, nutrition, etc. to all of the instruction on how to interact with clients and run a business. It has all been useful and beneficial. At a time when the economy is slowing, Ryan and I are having no trouble building a successful business. It’s great to be making money, and so satisfying to watch our clients change on a daily basis! So thank you Joe, and thanks for ProPTA. Hope to see you soon. Matt Byerts

Hey Joe, I wanted to tell you/let you know that i’m going to be a father. Just found out about it a couple of days ago and i’m going like a mile a minute with all emotions hitting at once! First child and its due the day after my birthday. LOL. I’m very happy and i wanted to share this with you because you have helped/taught me a lot with all of your advice and knowledge. Thank you very much for being a positive influence on my life! Take care joe p.s. Joe i almost forgot to ask….. how do i become apart of the associates program? Thanks again Carlos Cardinas

Joe & Mike I wanted to send a Thank You for the information that you gave me on the first day of class. It feels like I’m starting all over again but with my eyes completely open this time. I practiced what was you and Mike showed the class on Saturday on Sunday and Tuesday. I lifted a lot lighter but got the same work out in less time. Kept the intensity as high as possible of course. I have to say that in one class i have learned more than in 3 years of practical work and guessing and checking (hahaha). Thank you once again. See you on Saturday, hopefully i show up at the right place this time. hahaha Carlos Cardinas

Hey Joe, Thanks so much for taking the time to send us those forms. Matt and I are both very excited on our journey all the while making some cash and doing what we love. Please keep us posted as upcoming events and news on the PROPTA. We hope to continue to grow and become part of the family. Maybe we’ll learn Russian and help you out overseas! haha ; ) I am not opposed! ha Alright thanks for the certificates and for your always generous help and advice. We both look forward to partnering and staying in the family of the PROPTA! Sincerely, Ryan VanDyke

I am loving the course so far–I am learning a ton!!!! have a great week, Marnie Holley Marnie Holley – October 13, 2009

Hello Stephanie, I attend the event on Saturday and found it very informative. I am looking forward to the next seminar. In Saturday’s session Joe mentioned that a seminar might be held at the academy this Sunday in Glendale. Would you be so kind to confirm and provide details as I would like to attend this session at the academy. Thank you and enjoy your day! Karla Ray – October 04, 2009

I have nothing but love for you and PROPTA; Aaron Cooper – September 09, 2009

Hi Joe – just wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything … I’ve really enjoyed your program and learned A LOT. Looking forward to my continuing education with the internships and also plan to return on the 5th … Feel strong in terms of text book knowledge but as you witnessed from my ‘butt-less squat,’ I need some more practical know-how. Don’t get me wrong, I can do many exercises with proper form, it’s just that I’d never tried things like lunges & squats prior to PROPTA. Anyhoo – Thank you again. I definitely want to intern for 1 day with Jem & ‘Zipper’ but am hoping some internships are also available closer to home (I live 2 blocks from TRAIN). Please let me know S Hughes – August 16, 2009

Sir/Ma’am This Saturday I completed my Practical Application Test with Malcolm Marshall. I forgot to have him sign the clinical hours sheets, so I will be mailing those off to him tomorrow morning, at this same time I will be mailing you a copy of my drivers license, CPR certification, and two passport photos. Other than advising you on the last two things I can’t thank you enough for this opportunity, I will establish my own business but genuine took this course because of aspiration to become a professional body builder, this course has given me the knowledge to do both. If you choose to quote me on this, it’s fine with me, “Pay the extra money to have the one on one sessions” I did it so that I could achieve two certifications, I have never met anyone so passionate, and professional as Malcolm Marshall he simultaneously saw his clients, trained me, and prepared for the NPC USA Championships. In closing I can not thank PROPTA, or Malcolm enough for the knowledge I have received over the last several weeks. GySgt Ronald “Chongo” Slone – August 03, 2009

Hello Joe, This is great!!! As a matter of information, I’m so proud to be a member of PROPTA. It’s AWESOME!!! Would you also send me the information on reading labels? You mentioned in class; however I do not have a copy. Thank you. Karla Ray – October 19, 2009

Thank you so much! I am extremely humbled by the news. I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity and allowing me to be part of your amazing team. For the past 2 years PROPTA has given me a chance to pursue my dreams and become a personal trainer. With that, i have helped so many people whether with training or diet. Many of my clients have achieved goals they would never dream of achieving. Thanks to you and PROPTA i am able to pass over the knowledge, the technique , and the science to help others. I am very proud to be a PROPTA instructor and i will continue to help others with my new certifications. abdullah Alaskari, Kuwait – November 16, 2009

SIR Thank you so much for being accommodating and approachable, you have impart on me new knowledge and information in the world of fitness profession .It give me more confidence and enthusiasm to be a Private Trainer. MORE POWER TO YOU AND THE PROPTA GROUP Respectfully yours Alexander D. Cerilo Alexander D. Cerilo – November 19, 2009

PROPTA has been an asset for us here too and i look forward to another fruitful relationship in 2010. Mylene Dane – December 22, 2009

I got the info and very excited to go to the academy to finish what i started. Thank you once again for being so wonderful and understanding, it was a pleasure meeting you. Best Wishes Christina Avila – January 27, 2010

I want to pick your brain about supplementation development, I have an idea I want to run by you for help. On another note I have been playing around with Vince Girondas workout routines with PROPTA intelligence infused with it. I have dropped 10lbs of body fat. Still have more to go but its a work in progress. Its like you and Mike say. Do a lot of work in a short period of time, the weights dint matter. Great stuff. Mark Alvord – March 09, 2010

Hi Joe!! Everagain I want to thank you and Mike Sable for the great class!! Feels like we are family and I am definitely coming back to listen more to you in the future!! Hanna Dios – March 21, 2010

Hi Mr Joe. This is Ali hassan Hussain from kuwait Hilton Resort hope you remember me sir. I sent you an email regarding PROPTA Certification, and I did all my Nutrition and PT Exam with Mr Claude Groulx and tomorrow i will send you the Exam paper. I really gained alot of knowledge on Personal training and Nutrition from Mr. Claude Groulx, his teaching technique is amazing and I really appreciate your support and thanks to you now I have a chance to be a part of PROPTA. This will help me alot to grow my future as a Certified Personal Trainer here in Kuwait. Ali Hassan Hussain – April 12, 2010

I just finished my Personal Training and Nutrition Certification with the ProPTA. I choose to do the 6 week one-on-one with instructor Tony Falce. I have absolutely no regrets with either decision, both the ProPTA and Tony are so professional and very helpful. I could really tell they wanted to help me succeed. One of the many benefits you get with ProPTA is the one-on-one. I looked into other certification companies and none of them offered the hands on training. I personally would suggest everyone interested in being the very best in their field to take advantage of the one-on-one. Tony helped explain each exercise and also as a trainer what you need to look for with every fitness level, So you can safely correct your clients form or know when they should either go up or down in weight. Personal Training is a hands on field and I could have never learned so much information without the help from Tony. Another huge benefit I found with the PROPTA is the association. Once you graduate you are a member of a huge network of people that want to help each other succeed. They offer help with insurance, doctors, lawyers, accountants, anyone that you will need to help you set-up your new company. I have absolute faith that the PROPTA can help your dreams of being a Personal Trainer come true too! Good Luck & Have fun!! Gwyn Christensen Personal Trainer / Nutritionist Henderson, Las Vegas

Dear Joe, I am so proud to be a PROPTA certified trainer. listen to what happened. I went on a hiking trip to New Hampshire in August, and in route I stayed at my grandmothers on Long Island, NY, for a few days. I went an Equinox branch located around the corner from her in Manhasset, NY. I showed them my PROPTA ID Card, and they waived my guest fee, for the night. While there I corrected 2 of their employees separately, doing hyper extensions. They were coming too far up, and arching their back. They were both demonstrating, for other members. I explained the difference to them. One of them happened to be the personal trainer’s manager, and I had a long conversation with her. She told me they are always looking for new trainers, and encouraged me to give them a resume, they are interested in hiring me. I told her I would possibly be back the area in mid-October.

Thanks Joe for all your help. Ironically enough yesterday I had interview, with another local fitness center, and this one went extremely well. It made me glad that the other places didn’t work out. It’s called Zumba MAX FIT. It’s a 24 hr fitness center, and both manager ended my interview after about an hour, with their status as “Very Interested”. They want me working office hours too. Basically they seem to want me to be a significant part of their, operations. I’m meeting, with them again later today to discuss some more specifics. One of the, women I spoke, with yesterday is a bikini contest competitor. And we had an in-depth discussion about her nutritional program differences in, and out of seasons. I explained a little about what I learned in your course. 75ml of blood, per 100 grams of muscle, to achieve maximum exertion. The difference between correct, and incorrect hyper extensions. And why arching your back in hyper extensions is actually promoting injury. They loved me. I want to discuss some more about ms. bikini contests training program, because she really wants this year to be her year. She already has a trainer, but he has her basically starving herself, for 10 days, before competitions. She needs to be more comfortable in her presentation, and captivating, with her performance to take the show. All I thought about after our meeting was all the stuff Mike Sable said about competitions. How Arnold has no triceps, and still won all the time. She’s really hot stuff Joe. She been ranking in the top 15, so far out of hundreds, of girls. She’s kind of short, but I think she could take 1st, with the right mind set. I’m looking, for a graveyard shift over there on a regular basis. I’ll start giving out business cards all over the place as soon as I’m officially apart of their, operation. It’s an excellent start, for my career. I’ll use my time doing office work, with them to prepare, for my own place eventually. It’s about 3 miles from my house, so worst case I can walk, or ride my bike to work. It’s about time too. I was getting frustrated not having anyway to put my knowledge, and certification to beneficial use. Now I can work towards my Level 2 certification. Brian K Brian K – January 25, 2011

Hi Joe! I took your certification the PROPTA a couple of years ago and I am now living in Texas and I just bought a gym! I want to thank you for your advise and teaching. I am very confident working with anyone since I took the course. Christy Le Fevre – October 30, 2012

I know that I have only just scratched the surface, and am looking forward to continuing. No to worry, I have no intention of becoming lazy. In fact, I will see you after I get back from vacation. I appreciate your time and dedication to each student, hopefully we make you proud. Rachael Gerstel – June 28, 2012

JOE, A GREAT seminar last night..still a little disappointed that I have to give up my fruit juices though. Thanks for the info. I’ll see you there! Lance Paul – October 23, 2012

JOE, You were right! I really enjoyed these live lectures online, 1 hour felt like 5 minutes because he got my attention all the time, Mike Sable did a great job, it was easy to understand what he convey, funny too and never boring. I clicked on a PDF file that showed up after ending the course and got a certification of completion of the course. Ok, whats next? Have a nice day! Hans Egil Boe- October 14-2013

hey Joe, I hope this email finds you in great health. it’s been a long time since I’ve spoken to anyone other than Jem through facebook. I just wanted to let you know that though I didn’t finish the course, I learned a great deal and through your teaching along with mike, your vast knowledge and great humility you taught me that life isn’t just about money or a great physique but instead its about living a longer, healthier and happier life being able to help others achieve the goals they have set themselves to be happy. thank you for everything and the opportunity to be part of the fitgum study. take care and may God bless you, your family and all of PROPTA. hope to hear from you soon you truly are one of the inspirations I try to emulate.
