Who the Heck Is Bedros Keuilian Anyway?

Hi, my name is Bedros Keuilian and I'm an open book… It's been said that I'm the "hidden genius" behind many of the most successful names and businesses in fitness and personal training. In addition to being the founder and CEO of Hitech Trainer, FitPro Newsletter (two software technologies used by thousands of fitness professionals worldwide to get more clients and profits) I'm also the co-creator of Fit Body Boot Camp (now the fastest growing brand of boot camps worldwide). I'm also the guy who's consulting clients include independent trainers, six figure producing boot camps, top celebrity trainers featured on ABC and NBC, studios, and two of America's largest personal training facilities – both earning over $20,000,0000/year.

And the list goes on... I've been featured and quoted in industry publications like IDEA Fitness Journal, IHRSA Publications, Club Solutions Magazine, Personal Fitness Professional magazine, and several other national industry publications. But it wasn't always pretty flowers, puppy dogs and candy sprinkles…. Before all this I was the college drop out living out of a 1979 Toyota pick-up with a leaky camper shell. I was also the guy who failed at launching two businesses – losing over $55,000 in one them.
Hard to believe but these are some of the TOP marketers in the world (Bedros is the least shady looking one of the bunch)
Third time was a charm… After three failed attempts at becoming an ACE certified personal trainer I finally passed the certification test…then I became a personal trainer – and a fry cook at Disneyland. I guess I thought that having national certificates and being an awesome trainer would be enough to fill my schedule with paying clients. Boy was I wrong… I didn't know how to get enough clients to do personal training full time so I was the fry cook at Carnation Cafe in Disneyland. (Not the calling I was looking for when I became certified ). After Disneyland I was a personal trainer and a bouncer at a bar… Boy did I HATE being a bouncer…I've got a lot of colorful stories to share from that experience… (again, not the calling I was looking for when I got certified). Not too long after that a client turned me on to the awesome world of direct response marketing and sales and my life would forever change.

Before long I started Premiere Results personal training – a thriving one-on-one personal training center with over 250 active clients and annual earnings of over half a million dollars. I had finally figured out the success "formula" and it made my life a whole lot better. I mean a WHOLE LOT better.

These days I've found my true calling in life – coaching and consulting fitness professionals who want more clients, more profits and more freedom to enjoy life. I won't go on bragging about who I am and what I've achieved. You can figure that out by spending a few minutes on this blog and reading through the success stories on this page. I've created this blog for you. On these pages you'll find idea, tips, systems, tactics and strategies for taking your personal training business to the next level. You'll also find links to my products and services that can really help take your personal training or boot camp business to massive success.

For me, life is about living your passion and finding your calling and there's no other industry that I'd rather serve then the industry that changed my life… fitness. So whether you're looking to make your first $100,000 or you're ready to take your training business to seven figures this is the place where you'll find the blueprint to help you get there. Committed to your success,

I'm curious if there was any particular reason you decided to use, "TinyURL"? I've decided to put out WAAAY more video to my clients, etc instead of sooo many emails and text blogs. However, I'm not sure the best place to post the majority of these videos (blog, facebook, website, youtube, etc). I have this feeling you're going to tell me to put them at "all of the above"!
Chuck, get those videos up on youtube and all other video hosting sites. If you want it only on your blog then get blip.tv and as the traffic grows get the amazon s3 server.

Hi Bedros,
This is the first time I see your web,I must admit I am impressed!I have been a trainer for over 14 year and won figure competition and have high qualifications in the fitness industry.
But my downfall is ideas and marketing.I am interested in the 12 months package of coaching.
Regards
Ingrid
Bedros,
You've been my mentor now for coming up three years, in both formal and informal ways. I've been in the fitness business for longer than I care to mention (double digit years) but have only been in the six digit income range since I've had you to turn to for help. You are so generous with your time and advice and you've never steered me wrong. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Sincerely,
One of your biggest fans,
Shawna Kaminski
tahnk you for sharing all your great ideas books and articles ive benefited immensely.
Hey Bedros.
About 2 months ago i ended stumbling on one of your Blogs. I read an article and ever since then, it has been saved on 'My Favorites!" My passion for fitness has always been there since the days of middle and high school sports. i am 22 years old, and was recently working for a fire department in South.Fl for about a year until economic and political issues arose and cutbacks were made =( This happen exactly 2 months ago, (and probably 1 reason for finding your blog), i was just in desperate need for answers and looking for ways to become as successful as i can be and be able to help those around me. Few mins ago i signed up to some of your subscriptions, hoping to learn more. Currently taking a PT course so i can begin my journey and in time i will be purchasing your products.
My Long Term Goals:
To get rehired as a firefighter and continue my dream career
&
Become a successful P.Trainer with my own studio.
These 2 r both of my dream careers, and its sounds tough to reach these goals even to myself as i sit n write this, but its something i thought about for a long time and in the back of my mind, i already accomplished =)
Anyway, thnx for all the knowledge and help you put out for everyone. I know it will make a big impact on my future!
Hope for the Best!
