I'm Skeptical!
You have two distinct options in life when attempting to achieve success in any procedural endeavor - experiment and learn from your personal mistakes and failed efforts, or benefit from the knowledge of one who has traveled the path you seek. No doubt, some can achieve muscle gains and body fat reduction identical to mine without reading MuscleNOW, but if you choose to learn proper training and diet methods through personal experimentation, you will need to devote many months, possibly years of effort with potential failures and frustration to compile the many necessary diet and exercise techniques (as I have -- 7 years before I released MuscleNOW, and it has now been over 15 years since I started training). Most do not have the time or patience to consistently experiment with different diet/exercise protocols, thus they quit prior to achieving significant results (and label themselves "hardgainers"). Keep in mind that I am by no means the only individual who has achieved natural muscle building success, but in the vast world of drug induced bodybuilding where steroids are the crutch of choice, I have decided not to compromise my God given health for a condensed pathway to physical improvement (never having used any performance enhancing drug). To those who wish to avoid years of failed attempts and do not wish to continue experimenting with the false road to success (supplements), then I am here to provide a road map which, if followed with consistency, produces muscle gains, and reduces body fat in those who are in need of such. I cover both muscle gains and fat loss in my MuscleNOW book, thus those who are skinny, overweight, or average can benefit from my program, as it is fit for all shapes, sizes, and both genders.
I initially offered the MuscleNOW program in January 1997, hoping to address customer questions through email, and concentrate my remaining efforts on a career in the Information Technology field. Since this time, through increased web site traffic and extensive referrals from satisfied customers, this has become my career. Because I personally handle customer questions (lifetime personal training for all who purchase the MuscleNOW book), maintain the web site, etc, I must ask payment for my MuscleNOW course/personal training package, as this is obviously what allows me to devote 100% effort to each customer (as after purchase of MuscleNOW, I answer all of your questions in full, comprehensive fashion). The few email messages I receive from individuals seemingly offended that I actually charge money for performing a job is quite disturbing, as I am sure they would personally balk at a potential employer that offers them a job position without pay (this seems so obvious to me, but for some reason certain individuals do not contemplate the lack of reasoning in such an opinion before they email me asking how I could dare charge money for my service).
Providing lifetime personal training with the course guide is a very risky endeavor on my part, since once a customers pays the one time course fee, I am obligated to answer ALL questions, regardless of quantity and frequency, in addition to guaranteeing the customer 90 days in which he or she can return the material and receive a 100% refund of BOTH the purchase price AND shipping charge, AND I pay $20 to those who return the material just for trying my program, so I am actually risking my own money because of the faith I have in the effectiveness of my system. Obviously, a customer can order, read the course, send me dozens of questions via email for 90 days, and return the course, in essence using my knowledge and personal attention to its fullest, yet receive a 100% refund AND an extra $20. My strong belief in God provides me with hope that most will not follow this path, thus I exhibit a positive attitude towards the general public, assuming the majority who purchase my program are genuine in their intentions. I put MYSELF at risk to provide the greatest possible service at the LEAST possible cost, and in analyzing exactly what I offer in terms of knowledge and results, am a firm believer in its fairness.
I, personally, could never ask of another individual with a business to offer their precious time without just compensation (especially an absolute stranger, although some have obviously been well schooled in the opposite theory), and am disappointed to find that some feel as if the health/fitness industry in some way differs from society in general, and thus one is entitled to free, complimentary service simply because it involves health and fitness. Many of these individuals are searching for muscle building supplements when they encounter my web site, and for some inexplicable reason, assume that I, who am offering step-by-step knowledge of diet and exercise that will help them achieve results, am a swine for not providing a free course. Yet, they simultaneously believe that supplement companies who produce countless ineffective products are justified in charging $50 for a worthless item, and these same individuals who criticize me will BUY the supplement without question. Double standard?
I completely understand skepticism in the bodybuilding and health/fitness industry, as they are both filled with quite possibly the largest group of unethical, selfish, money hounding companies one will ever encounter. Not all are offering useless or dangerous products, but many are, and this places skepticism at a high level when approaching the physical fitness industry. As for my web site, although I am certainly involved in the same field, all testimonials on my web site stem from customers who have granted me permission to post their progress reports or comments, I have NEVER used steroids, growth hormone, insulin, or ANY other bodybuilding/recreational drug, and my SOLE intention is to assist those who wish to improve their physique (gain muscle and/or lose fat) in avoiding the wasted time, effort, frustration, and SUPPLEMENTS (which are THE #1 source behind the bodybuilding scam stigma) which have left a black eye on the physical fitness industry. Again, to those offended that I would dare ask for compensation in my profession, I ask them to, in their 30's, imagine a time when they would voluntarily devote their dedicated efforts without charge, and how this would in any way allow them to one day marry, build a family, and support essentials (food, shelter, etc). It seems ridiculous, to me, that any individual would need to justify charging a very reasonable fee for their services, especially if it is effective and lives up to expectations (re-read this last sentence!). If I, like many (supplement companies being first and foremost), intended to take money and disappear, I would retract my 90 day money back guarantee, and many of my thousands of current customers would have become irate, contacted the proper authorities, and shut down my web presence years ago (through complaints). I am very happy that new clients are continually expressing excitement with their dramatic physical improvements.
Just to clarify, the majority of email I receive from individuals prior to purchase does not demand special treatment (free assistance), and instead is simply aimed at curing skepticism, or asking legitimate questions about MuscleNOW. Yet, for the small minority who prefer a Socialistic society, I do feel it necessary to clarify my stance (and hopefully stimulate the thought process as it relates to fitness related entitlements).
To those who still believe it is unethical and unconscionable to receive compensation for my work, next time you visit the hospital or doctor (who provides a necessary health service), let them know of your disdain for their fees, as using their knowledge to diagnose medical ailments is no different from consulting my experience to produce exceptional physical improvement. They study for 8-10 years to become the masters in their field, and I have spent many years gathering diet/training knowledge and experience. The similarities are extensive, and I charge a substantially lower fee for my product/service than doctors, lawyers, carpenters, etc. Ask your physician if he’ll accept a $179 payment and diagnose your condition forever at no additional cost to you. He’ll balk at the suggestion, but why? This IS MY OFFER TO YOU! I become your lifetime email personal trainer for a one time charge. I have a feeling these individuals who believe that I should be offering the program at no cost to them may one day learn, after trying countless supplements and books/courses written by those with ulterior motives or a steroid diet, just how close to "free" my muscle building system happens to be.
The offer is simple - purchase the program, read the course book completely, and begin asking me questions via email, as many inquiries as necessary, as often as you wish. You have a FULL 90 days to implement the material, analyze results, test my personal training, etc, and if you are not satisfied for any reason, simply return the course guide for a 100%, no questions asked refund (of BOTH the purchase price and shipping/handling charge, AND I will PAY YOU $20 just for trying the program), or keep the material and continue achieving consistent, dramatic muscle gains. The full 90 day trial process will cure any doubts, and although I have customers raving about the physical transformation achieved in the first 30 day period, I provide a full 3 month analysis to appease those that mistakenly believe a longer time frame is necessary to produce progress. This misconception is propagated by some who offer sub-par training/diet programs, as intentionally lowering your expectations justifies the impotency of their material.
As for skeptics - my Internet site was established in January of 1997, and since then, several thousand customers have purchased my program. I have decided to maintain the Internet as my sole source of promotion in part due to the following reasons:
1. Advertising expenses would exponentially grow, and thus my asking price would rise to unreasonable levels (which is the main reason why I don't advertise in magazines -- ONE full page add, in one issue, runs $3,000+! If I were to reproduce the web page into magazine form, it would run me over $25,000!). No way..
2. Personal training would be impossible to monitor. In other words, I wouldn't have an effective method of tracking orders, so any individual claiming to have purchased the program at a local store could email me and take advantage of unlimited personal training. Since I personally sell the course through the net, I am reasonably assured that my customers will have access to email and am well aware of who has and has not purchased the program (by way of invoice numbers and other info). Thus, I can offer unlimited, lifetime customer support, via email, to answer any and all diet and training questions. I find this to be a valuable and inseparable part of the course, as inevitably, regardless of how well the program is written, you may be left with unanswered questions and concerns regarding your own specific situation. I address this concern by making myself available, at all times, via email and, to better facilitate the personal training process, choose to personally sell the course material.
This is why you haven't heard of the course -- until now! Yet the word is growing, and I receive many new testimonials as you can see by visiting my testimonial section by clicking here. In the future, you might actually meet somebody who has achieved tremendous physical improvements from my knowledge and techniques. The downside of the Internet as a sole advertising source is that word doesn't spread as quickly, but this is tolerable, as I have a lifetime to educate the public.
One additional concern I wish to address is Lifetime Personal Training - if I reach a client level that makes it impossible to provide timely lifetime assistance to new clients, I will retract the Lifetime Personal Training offer for FUTURE customers. Meaning, if you purchase MuscleNOW after I remove Lifetime Personal Training from my web site for future customers, you will no longer have the capability of asking me questions, as I will only have the ability to help past customers (who have purchased the material up to the day I remove the offer). As of today, the offer is 100% current and binding, with each MuscleNOW course providing Lifetime Email Personal Training at no additional cost, but depending upon activity, I may need to retract Lifetime Personal Training for future customers, or charge more for new customers, and cannot predict when or if this will happen (it depends upon traffic flow). I want to ensure that EVERY customer that I promise lifetime support receives my undivided, timely devotion, and I will not allow, unlike most large businesses, a surge in activity to ruin my quality of service. Thus, if you order today (via Internet, phone, or mailing a check/money order), you will receive Lifetime Personal Training at no additional charge, but if you delay purchase and find that the Lifetime Personal Training offer has disappeared, it means I am only helping those that have purchased the course to that point, and am accepting no additional Lifetime Personal Training clients.
Due to the overwhelming success of MuscleNOW, individuals have established web sites promoting offerings which on the surface sound similar, but may in fact be very misleading. Be careful of authors who use their "program" as a segue to promote a new line of SUPPLEMENTS, which quickly becomes their true focus. Use extreme care when evaluating such sites -- my course and web site are protected under U.S. COPYRIGHT (officially registered). I have been offering the MuscleNOW program since January of 1997, and have helped many around the world to achieve astounding muscle gains / body fat reduction WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTATION.
You may order from anywhere in the world, as I have clients from just about every country I have ever heard of! Since January 1997, I have been helping individuals worldwide to finally abandon supplements and embrace effective, understandable diet and exercise techniques. Please take a look at the extensive list of testimonials from worldwide clients to sample real world progress reports. I am here to hopefully spur a worldwide shift from supplements and hype towards effective, safe diet/exercise techniques that initiate change. Let me become your personal trainer, and I'll provide you with the roadmap to achieving dramatic results!
