Our Bonus High Interview this month features Jim “The Human Flag” Kielbaso, Director of the Total Performance Training Center in Wixom, Michigan.

In 15 years working in strength and conditioning, Jim has worked with notable athletes such as Jalen Rose, Antonio Gates, Willie Green and Paris Lenon to improve their performance.

Jim also has a GREAT website called Ultimate Strength and Conditioning, and is the author of one of my favorite training books, “Worlds Hardest Exercises“.

I am happy to say I will be seeing my man Jim, and many other great strength coaches, this weekend at his Michigan Strength and Conditioning/Athletic Development Clinic. (Click here for info on the clinic) 

This interview is a little “off the beaten path” compared to our previous interviews, and is the result of a lot of questions I have been getting from readers who want to start or expand their own personal training business.

Listen in as Jim talks about:

• How he went from a college strength coach to running his own facility
• The different “mind set” he needed to create a successful training business
• What it takes on a day-to-day basis to run a successful facility
• How he finds and keeps quality trainers
• The techniques he uses to get clients-and how he keeps them
• How he sets new clients up on their workouts
• The type of strength training workouts he uses with the athletes he trains
• How he developed and expanded his internet business
• And much, much more!
