Semi-Private Training
Last week, we did a lot of talk about online training and coaching. If you missed those posts simply click here, here, and here. When I decided to open a gym, I chose semi-private training because I think it blends the best of both worlds. In a semi-private environment, you provide awesome training for your […]

Jon, thanks for taking the time to be with us here today. Could you start by telling us a little bit about yourself? Oh hey brah, thanks for asking.

(Photo courtesy of Allen Sky) For the next couple of weeks, we’re going to dive head first into the realm of running a fitness business. I’ve been thinking a ton about both my online (Robertson Training Systems) and offline (Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training) businesses, and I feel I’ve got some really cool stuff to […]

While I’m not necessarily opposed to guest blogs, it’s rare that someone has something unique or profound to say. However, when Luke Robinson of Wolfpack Fitness told me a little bit about how he’s using our Bootcamp in a Box product to improve the quality of his bootcamps, I was instantly hooked. Whether you run […]
Continue ReadingDeadlift Q&A
I get tons of e-mails from RTS readers on a daily basis, so it’s fun to put the blog on cruise control sometimes and just answer a bunch of questions. I’ve obviously written a ton about the deadlift before; look no further than my massive Deadlift blog post, or my post on Round Back Deadlifts. […]

(Photo credit: A. Blight; Lifter: David Ricks) I have a confession to make. I, my friends, am an aging athlete. Most days I don’t feel old. In fact, in a lot of ways I feel every bit as good as I did 10-15 years ago. Other than the very rare hangover that lasts for 2-3 […]

“You can’t be afraid to answer the tough questions.” – Jim Rohn This past week I’ve done a bunch of traveling, and as such have had a bunch of time for reflection and thinking. It’s no coincidence, I’ve been asked some incredibly tough questions as well. While this post probably isn’t going to take your […]
Continue ReadingLessons in Coaching
I’m always thinking about training and coaching. When I was a little kid, my coaches always described me as a gym rat because I loved spending time in the gym and getting better. Now as a performance coach, it’s not uncommon for me to go home (or in my office) after a training session and […]
Continue ReadingBulletproof Athlete Review
Since I’ve released the Bulletproof Athlete program, I’ve gotten a ton of interest about the materials. The biggest question people are asking is, “Is this program right for me?” If you’d like a behind-the-scenes look at the product (including training and a nutrition challenge video) you’ll want to watch this video. I basically cover why […]

Mike, thanks for taking the time to be with us here today. Could you start by telling us a little bit about yourself? I am 26 years old. I am married to my wonderful wife Kate. I just recently moved from Connecticut to North Carolina, where I am currently working as a Coach/Trainer at Capital […]
Continue ReadingFREE Energy System Training Video
There’s been a lot of spirited debate when it comes to energy systems training (EST) lately. Is high-intensity interval training all you need? OR does low-intensity work have a place? And what type of EST is best if you play sports? Or simply want to move, feel and recover better? My good friend Eric Oetter […]

Will, thanks for taking the time to be with us here today. Could you start by telling us a little bit about yourself? My name is Will, I’m 30 years old and I live in Southern California. I’m sort of a classic weekend-warrior/desk-jockey in that I work in web-development and have to spend a lot […]
