FitBlaze is a business management platform for fitness trainers. Correction, it’s a really cool business management platform. Why?

I’ll start by saying there isn’t a lot of tools out there focused on fitness and personal trainers. Looking around online, you’ll find various tools that in part or in whole allows individuals to input, track, measure fitness and diet results, but not trainers.

After looking around even more, it’s looking like trainers and their expertise are slowly but surely getting set aside in favor of using these tools as a replacement.

So I went online to see what trainers used to keep track of this information for their clients.

I found several programs that required installation on a Mac or PC, and most were overloaded with data and poorly designed. I was pretty shocked to see that there wasn’t good software aimed at supporting the personal trainer. There are many that were focused on helping individuals input and track information, but all were focused on being the replacement to a fitness trainer.

I’ve been thinking a lot this week while I’m reading Seth Godin’s book, Lichpin. I’m only a couple chapters into it and I wanted to share one of the truisms in the book with you.

We’re Trained to be “Cogs in Machines” Serving Business

“Compliant, low-paid, replaceable cogs in efficient machines.” Funnily enough, the only issue I had with that statement was thinking that the word “efficient” should be replaced with “inefficient”. But I digress…

“…I don’t have that kind of ability or talent…If only they knew how good they have it…They were just lucky I guess…If I knew I could do it, I would…I’ve never seen it before…”

Negativity abounds. I’m constantly reminded about how unhealthy food is, or what constitutes bad habits, or how some political bureaucrat is terrible. It amazes me the sheer magnitude of negativity we place in front of us everyday. But it doesn’t have to be this way; giving negative thought the power over your state of mind. You always have the power to control it.
