This is a continuation of our newsletter that went out on Oct 29th. If you missed it, click here.
To say that there's been a lot going on with KBC is putting it mildly. Here's some of what's cookin':
- The launch of the new website (Technically still in beta.)
- The launch of level 2 by KBC Senior Instructor, Vince Metzo. (Watch for press release.) To host a KBC Instructor Training (of any level) click here now. KBC is currently booking for Jan-April, 2011 and weekends are getting very limited.
- Solidified partnership with 20+ year old company, SIL FITNESS as our product provider and exclusive distributor. They have over 5,000 products in stock in their warehouse in Brick, NJ. And yes, you can go to the warehouse to save on shipping. This means superior customer service from KBC/SIL not only on the education side, but now the product side as well.
- Galvanized 2011 in NYC.
- KBC, after 8 years, is increasing our prices. (More below.)
- Major push for expansion/recruiting. KBC will be hiring Master Trainers for all territories beginning Q1 2011 for our Group Ex classes and Level 1 classes.
- Watch for a "careers" section on the site soon, along with a separate announcement. Get your resume's ready! However, if you're really ready to go now--before seeing the career page--please submit your resume to careers@kettlebellconcepts.com. (Please note that our requirements for Master Instructors are rather extensive and positions are extremely limited. If you think you have what it takes, we'd love to hear from you. (Note: A Master Instructor is not a full time position.)
- The publication of a KBC digital magazine geared specifically for fitness professionals. Will include video content as well. Would you be interested in reaching an audience of over 35,000 currently practicing and highly credentialed fitness professionals? We're putting out a call for submissions shortly.
- And to answer some vendors whom we've "leaked" this too, advertising will be accepted on an extremely limited basis.
KBC Pricing for Instructor Training Courses: After 8 years of holding steady at our extremely reasonable, industry standard price points for our Level 1, Level 2, and Group Ex classes, KBC will be increasing our prices beginning in 2011. Current clubs who are currently customers of KBC will be grandfathered in for a limited time.
If you've even considered hosting an instructor training, it's strongly suggested you book before Dec 31 to take advantage of the current price points. We will reveal the new prices shortly but the rather minimal jump will not be at all out of line with current industry pricing.
What's in it for me? 2011 is going to be a huge year for KBC as well as our past (and future!) instructors. The value we're working so hard to continually bring you as a member of the KBC family of instructors will include--among some other things:
- The complete elaunching our instructor locator that will be loaded with features.
- The official launch of the SIL FITNESS/KBC Preferred Club Member Pricing Program. Save big $$$ off ANY product at SIL FITNESS!
- We're adding a HUGE social networking function to our main site. There will be open "communities" for fitness enthusiasts (general customers) and a protected, members only community for KBC Instructors to share teaching tips, advice, etc.
- Launch of a new apparel line for KBC Instructors.
- We're adding a private "customer center" where all manuals, CEC's, and digtal products will be stored (and delivered.) This also includes the forthcoming KBC digital magazine.
- A complete redesign of the Level 1 manual. (All past KBC Instructors will get this update for free digitally within their new ustomer center!)
- . . and much more!
Thank you for being a part of KBC (or becoming a part of KBC!) and have a happy and safe Halloween!
