Unstoppable Fitness Formula Seminar Announced!

event 1 Comment »

Hey guys, do you know the rules of the game?

I’m talking about fat loss and fitness here.  About fitting into skinny jeans and looking forward to putting on a swimsuit.

If push came to shove, could you transform your body into a lean, toned, vibrant showpiece?

Deirdre Front Both

Or would you take the “normal” route and try a program that just leads to frustration, tears, and – ultimately- greater weight gain?

People ask me all the time, “Luke, why do your programs WORK when others don’t?”

I wish I could say that I’m just that good.

But I’m not.  It all comes down to study, experience, and application.

Who would you rather come to with your fitness questions, someone who is “in the trenches” 10 hours a day working with people, learning what works through trial-and-error, observation, and study?  Or your neighbor who has a pissy attitude and who’s credentials end with watching the Biggest Loser every week?

Four of my clients have been badgering me mercilessly to host a seminar where I share my Unstoppable Fitness Formula.

They finally wore me down, so on November 7th, at 1pm, I’ll be revealing what I call ”The Rules Of The Game”

Luke giving nutrition lecture at Capital City Volleyball Club

I’m not exaggerating when I say that after this seminar you’ll know more about the principles of effective programming than 90% of the personal trainers in America.

Seriously, have you ever wondered why so many people just can’t seem to lose weight?  Those people that say they just have “Stubborn Fat.”

Here’s something you can tell them after this seminar: There’s no such thing as stubborn fat.  There’s just fat.

Actually, I almost titled this seminar Destroying The Dogma, since so much of the information out there is just flat out WRONG.

In just five minutes during this seminar I’ll show you why almost everyone who sets out to fit into their skinny jeans fails – and how YOU will do it EASILY.

We’re going to cover some fat loss studies that will absolutely knock your socks off.

top secret folder

Here’s a SMALL example:

  • A diet study that shows a simple change can increase dietary compliance and fat loss — without reducing calories
  • A 1998 study that showed that the addition of 45 minutes of hard aerobic training, 5 times a week for twelve weeks – had ZERO effect on fat loss
  • One 1994 showed an interval training method to reduce body fat NINE TIMES more than traditional aerobic training — despite taking much less time
  • Another study (1999) showing that the addition of a specific resistance training program increased fat loss by 35% over diet plus cardiovascular training
  • A 2002 study used a certain approach to training – and showed an elevation of metabolism for 38 hours post workout

Here’s some other great stuff we’re going to cover:

  • The Seven Keys To Fitness Success – If you’re missing even one of these, your workouts will not only fail you, you’ll actually get HURT!
  • Why the heck aerobics are one of the WORST things you can do for real world fat loss
  • A simple picture that will show why we aren’t designed to be vegetarians
  • My “Fat Loss Time Machine” nutrition strategy
  • How to completely overcome a negative attitude
  • The Hierarchy of Fat Loss - the MOST IMPORTANT things should come FIRST in your personal plan, this will show you what is most important, second most important, and so on…
  • The Seven Fundamental Human Movements – see how your body is designed to move (incorporating ALL of these is what gives you long, lean muscles instead of bulky, bunchy muscles)
  • And this is interesting, especially if you’ve ever read ANY resistance training article: the difference between linear periodization and undulating periodization.  (Linear periodization is what they teach you in exercise science graduate school – the only problem is that it doesn’t work.  And you’ll know why!)

There’s so much more that we’re going to have by the end of this seminar.  You’ll love it.

Some of the stuff we’re going to DO:

  • Go over 2 nutrition programs (my Wold Fitness Ripped Plan AND my 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss Plan)
  • Optional “Hot Seats”: You’ll have the opportunity to come up and share what your BIGGEST weight loss, mindset, and fitness frustrations are.  Me and my faculty will share all of our absolute best strategies for YOUR  particular situation.  This is the only place where you can have such a diverse and experienced group focus on solving your problems.
  • Best Question Contest: Every lucky attendee will submit 2 questions and I’ll answer them live, real-time, and under fire.  An impartial judge will pick the best question and the winner will receive an hour of consulting time with me and then a half hour follow-up meeting.  (My one-on-one rates are $147/hour, so this is worth 220 bucks!)
  • Dissect a complete and effective training program:  After this, you’ll be able to look at any workout routine and know INSTANTLY if it is any good (Just don’t make any enemies at work when you tell your friends EXACTLY why their program isn’t working!)

wold fitness body transformation experts

Now, you’re going to have a great faculty here at the seminar with you.  Take a look at a few of the people who will be there to GIVE you their best tips, tactics, and tricks…

Eric Robinson, a body transformation expert who lost NINETY POUNDS with personal training and his own studies.  Ever since then he has been guiding men and women to lose OBSCENE amounts of weight.  This guy is my secret weapon when it comes to effective fat loss strategies, and he’ll have my back through this whole seminar.

Dr. Brian Russell, an orthopedic, chiropractic, and whole-health specialist is playing a major role in my personal recovery from a devastating back injury.  In his chiropractic practice he works with patients who suffer from many ailments, from low back pain to headaches.

Deirdre Reid, a single mom who went from a size 8 to a size ZERO and can now wear the same size clothes as her 13 year old daughter.  When it comes to family strategies, time management, the importance of YOUR health, and keeping a positive attitude, Deirdre is our expert.  (I wrote her original nutrition plan on the back of a napkin and she lost 4 dress sizes in 53 days!)

Some other attendees will be a woman who has lost over 45 pounds, a man who has lost 60 pounds of fat and gotten off his blood pressure medications (he weighs less now than he did in high school!), and a nutritionist who can make absolutley ANYTHING taste delicious!

So… you’re going to be smarter about training than 95% of personal trainers, have TWO great nutrition plans, have all of your biggest problems taken care of by a world-class team, and the opportunity to win $220 worth of consulting time, but I want to add some freakin’ sweet bonuses that I think will REALLY get a head-turning bodyFAST.

bonus-burst-blue-001

Freakin’ Sweet Bonus Number 1: Awesome Abs At Home Program

Want a flat stomach?  Here’s a simple, done-for-you abs routine you can do at home to supplement whatever else you do.  And the cool thing is… you can do it without crunches!

Freakin’ Sweet Bonus Number 2: Reunion Ready Routine

You know how sometimes there’s something coming up that you REALLY want to look good for?  Like say, a high school reunion where the ex-husband will show up with his new girlfriend…

Well, this routine is based on what I give models and actors the week before a photo shoot or shirtless scene.

It gives you ONE DAY of extreme leanness, so it’s up to you to use it wisely….

(This exact program is what I use with my figure model consulting clients, and they happily give me $97 bucks for it. But it will be yours as a sweet bonus.  Just promise me you’ll have fun with it :)

Freakin’ Sweet Bonus Number 3: Four Week Complete Interval Training Program

Don’t spend even one more second screwing around on your treadmill or elliptical machine without this program.

These workouts, used alone without any other training or nutrition will elevate your metabolism for 39 HOURS after your session.

That means you’ll burn a lot of calories while you’re sleeping.  Nice!

Freakin’ Sweet Bonus Number 4: “Attraction Switches” Audio CD ($29 value)

I hesitated to add this CD to the bonus list.  You see, something I’m very interested in is how certain physical attributes trigger certain “switches” in the brain of the people who observe us.

for your ears only

It’s kind of “Black Hat” stuff that will certainly offend some people, but here is the breakdown: Certain physical attributes can give you more influence and what is called “social dominance.”  And what’s really cool is that these attributes AREN’T what you think they are.

A five foot tall woman can have more “social dominance” than a woman 6 feet tall.   And a man who weighs 170 can socially outpower a 290 pound, muscley bodybuilder.

(If you want to know more about this forbidden topic, you’ll have to register soon, I’m ordering the CDs next Monday Nov 2nd at 4pm)

Freakin’ Sweet Bonus Number 5: It’s A Secret!

You’ll have to come to the seminar if you want to know what this one is…

question mark box

Ok, to recap: You’ll be smarter than every personal trainer out there, you’ll have TWO great nutrition plans, have all of your biggest problems taken care of by a world-class fitness team, the opportunity to win $220 worth of consulting, a complete flat stomach routine, a metabolism boosting interval plan, my Reunion Ready plan, the ultra-secret Attraction Switches CD, and a bonus that only attendees will know about…

And you know I don’t do anything that I can’t guarantee.  So if anytime during the seminar you don’t feel you’re getting 10x’s the value, I’m offering you a 100% money back guarantee PLUS $20 gas money.  I’m going to take ALL of the risk!

gas plus guarantee

Unfortunately, I only have room for 10 people upstairs at the gym.  So here’s how to register, because if you don’t get in early, there might not room left.

The seminar is only $77 (the bonuses are worth much more than that) if you register before Wednesday Nov 4th, $99 after that.  Get in while it’s cheaper :)

You can take care of that with either a check or credit card, up to you.

Just send an email to LDWold (at) Gmail.com with your contact info and I’ll call you to take down your card info and confirm your registration.

Listen, now is the time to take control of YOUR life, and allocate the time and resources needed to attend this one of a kind event.

The fact of the matter is, the Wold Fitness live programs are, bar none, the best and fastest way to upgrade your fat loss skillset to the next level.

This is the stuff that has been developed through years of work in the gym, 7 days a week and is empirically verifiable as the best, most efficient system out there when it comes to losing fat, toning lean muscles, and getting smokin’ hot at will.

If you’re comfortable with spending an indeterminate number of years of your all-too-short life hunting and pecking in the dark, trying to find out what works and what doesn’t, that’s totally cool. Close this window and forget all about it.

But if you want to take charge of your fitness life and see massive improvements in WEEKS, not years, follow that impulse and sign up for your seminar today!

Just send an email to LDWold (at) Gmail.com and you’ll know more than anyone else about fitness and fat loss, have access to a world-class team of experts, get a TON of freakin’ sweet bonuses, and finally have the body you want – totally guaranteed.

I can’t wait to see you on November 7th, from 1 – 5pm.  It’s going to rock.

PS – My gym is located at 5680 Morgan Mill Rd, just turn south onto Deer Run Road, then take a right onto Morgan Mill.  Big yellow building on the right hand side of the road.  In fact… it’s the ONLY building on the right hand side of the road!  See you there!

PPS – If you already know everything you need to know to have the body you want, maybe this isn’t for you.  But that’s the only reason I can think of for missing out on this, since it’s totally guaranteed!
