What Operators and Industry Leaders Have Said
Why These Testimonials Matter
Personal Training Profits is built on real studio experience, not theory. Before the playbooks and academy, the systems behind this site were used in personal training studios, weight management centers, and consulting projects across multiple markets.
These testimonials matter because they speak to results, not hype. They reflect what happens when personal training studio systems are installed, followed, and managed properly, stronger marketing, clearer operations, better staff performance, and measurable business growth.
Industry and Supplier Endorsements
“Paul has been instrumental in setting up several successful weight management centers that have enjoyed impressive profitability in a relatively short period of time. He has been successful in recruiting a well-qualified and highly motivated staff who is a true testament of his training ability. He has pioneered an extremely successful weight management program that has been able to really impact the obese market. The results speak for themselves, I would highly recommend Paul for any fitness management position.”
Jim Teatum
President
Nautilus Commercial Division

“Paul has been an inspiration to me due to his hard work, open, creative mind, always positive, “can-do” attitude, dedication to our industry, and keen insight as to market trends and responses. You will have to search long and hard to find someone who grasps the fitness (and weight loss market) better than Paul and who knows how to turn this knowledge into profitable sales. Paul is one of the most impressive experts I know in the fitness industry regarding marketing and operations. He also provides the expertise in the systems necessary to operate them. You will not find a sharper, quicker mind. He is bold, current, accurate and decisive.”

Studio Growth and Operational Results
“In 1992, Paul worked with me as a founding partner of Renouf Personal Training Centre for approximately two years. During that period, the business rapidly expanded from one centre to four. His efforts and expertise were one of the major factors for the company’s growth.
His confident and motivating management style enabled him to bring out the best in his sales team. He also demonstrated an ability to continually come forth with new ideas and approaches to advertising and promotions.”
David J. Renouf
Managing Director
Renouf Personal Training Centers

“Paul started this company from scratch and put ideas to work that he has developed over a period of years. People have come from all parts of the country to see this state of the art operation.
Our two facilities are the future for weight loss and exercise programs.”
Jack L. Cobb
Chairman,
Just Results Lifestyle Studios
“His experience and knowledge of the industry and what really works in terms of marketing and implementation enabled our company to establish a strong foothold in the community and begin to build for the future.”
David Kessinger
President
Just Results Lifestyle Studios

“In June of 2000, Paul installed our strong sales and marketing management system, much of which is still in use today. By January 2001, he had completely reorganized our staff positions, training systems and policies. Along with his marketing experience, we enjoyed a well-managed team, sales and growth. By August of 2001, we had broken many national records in personal training sales and client base in one location. If you are considering Paul for your project, you will find a character of the highest integrity.”
Scott Mitchell

4.0 Studio, Inc., d.b.a. Planet U Studios
Dallas, Texas

“This program has not only helped my cash flow needs, as I had 61 clients complete the program in seven months for a grand total of over $35,000, but it has generated a good feeling among the staff. Helping obese clients achieve their weight loss goals brings in a tremendous feeling of professional accomplishment. Some clients have even said that we helped save their life! Not to mention that those other 11 fitness centers in town are still fighting each other for $19.99 a month. Thanks to Barclay, I am not one of them!”

Real World Business Credibility
“I’ve worked with Paul since 1998. Since then, I have come to know him as an exceptionally knowledgeable businessman, consultant, and advocate for healthy living. I have referred a number of my own clients to his Dayton Studios and will have no hesitation continuing to do so in the future.”
