Craftsmanship, relationships, and “the pirate ship”
guiding personal trainers to careers with more money, more fulfillment, and more freedom
most trainers leave the business in less than two years
And after a decade in the business, I’ve narrowed it down to three reasons why.
1) They’re not making enough money.
2) They’re not feeling fulfillment from their career.
3) They’re feeling like in order to make money and find fulfillment, their career is becoming their whole life.
And what’s worse, it doesn’t have to be just one or just another. It’s entirely possible to have some of all three problems, or any combination!
It’s easy to get in the weeds about what causes these feelings, or how to remedy them, but ultimately, most people who leave the fitness business (which is most people who enter the fitness business), leave for one or more of these three reasons.
Personal Training is a unique business with unique challenges. you don’t have to figure it out alone.
The fact is, personal training is a unique job in a lot of ways. You have a lot of control over an endless array of variables, and there are some things that are just out of your control. Some days, when the bank account is empty or the schedule is so full you have to cancel date night again or that pain-in-the-ass client won’t stop texting you with questions you’ve answered forty times, it can be easy to ask… “why am I doing this?” It is my goal to not only ensure you know the answer to that question in a deep, meaningful, easily-articulated way, but also to ensure that whatever makes you ask yourself that becomes less and less frequent of a problem. You know why you got into training. You know what you hope to do for others, and you know what you’d like to provide for yourself. All I do is help you make that the reality. Those are the “three ships.” Let’s chase the horizon.
launch your ship
1:1 Coaching
Meet with me 1-on-1 to figure out where your career is failing you and how to get to where you want to be.
the Audit
Sometimes all you need is a little boost. In an audit, we’ll schedule two calls, one to figure out where you are and where you want to be, and one to help you figure out how to get there.
small group
The small group is our “flag ship.” After we make sure we’re a fit for each other, you’ll join a group of no more than six other trainers, and over six months you’ll learn from me and from each other, while getting to share the knowledge you’ve gained along the way. This is my favorite way to improve, and easily the best value-for-dollars I offer.
Team overhaul
You run a team of trainers at your gym, and you’d like Eric and his team to come out, figure out how you cam improve as a unit, and help overhaul your operation for the better.
Live Events
I get it, not everyone is ready to jump on-board from day one. So, if you’re interested in seeing and hearing more, consider one of our free, beginner-friendly live events and webinars.

7 years

But remember… it doesn’t work if it doesn’t work for you!
Creating a plan that works for you
The Three Ships Method is pretty simple. 1) We determine what’s holding you back from making the money and the difference you want to make with your career, within the context of the lifestyle you want. 2) We figure out the specific plan that will help you address your needs and chase your horizon. 3) In a matter of 3-6 months, you’ll be enjoying your work, life, and business like never before. Plus, you’ll have clarity on how to keep moving forward in your career for as long as you keep working in the industry!
