MEMBER PROFILE Josh Rylatt 22-year-old is living his dream lifestyle after just one year MEMBER PROFILE NAME: Josh Rylatt BUSINESS NAME: Transformation Fit LOCATION: Leicester, United Kingdom BUSINESS MODEL: Personal training, small group training, nutrition guidance D uring his rebellious teenage years, Josh was kicked out of school and got into a fight that led to him getting 12 months in prison. ‘I had just turned 18. I was way in over my head, looking around thinking, “I don’t belong here – I need to make a change.” They say rock bottom ground is solid ground to build on, so that’s what I did.’ Josh started lifting in the gym and transformed his mindset. When he was released from prison, Josh committed to pursuing a career in the fitness industry and started volunteering at a local gym. Shortly after, he got an apprenticeship and spent the next six months working 50 hours a week for £2.50 an hour. When Josh was 19, he had a daughter born two months premature. Josh was already struggling with money when his boss told him he was transitioning him to a full-time personal trainer. ‘I said that I had no clients and 4 he said: “well here are 20 phone numbers. Call these people and offer them a free trial and try to sign them up to your services after”.’ Josh converted ten of those people into paying clients, and over the next year, Josh attended seminars and training courses to get better results for his clients. After getting a massive spike in his business, Josh started working split shifts and getting sick every month. ‘I started looking at ways I could turn this passion that I had, which I was losing, into a business so I could facilitate a better lifestyle for myself. That’s when I subscribed to NPE’s newsletter.’ In December 2014, Josh joined NPE’s VIP PROGRAM™, which taught him the systems and tools needed to develop a business plan, grow a team, and achieve consistent profitability and growth Within a year, he saw incredible changes. He now has grown to four staff members, increased revenue by over 400%, and opened his own studio. Before NPE, Josh’s average ticket sale was £200. With the help of NPE’s AUTO-CLOSER® Sales ystem the fitness sales system in the world), the average increased to £2,180 and his close rate increased from 40% to 80%. Most importantly, Josh is now well on his way to living his dream lifestyle. He went on a dream holiday to Thailand with money he made from AUTO-CLOSER® just a few weeks before, took his family to Disneyland, and traveled to Portugal, Amsterdam, and Barcelona. Josh doesn’t have to worry about his business while he’s away. On one of his trips, his personal trainer closed two packages for £3k. Although Josh had a rocky start, he was able to create a business that helps people, provides for his daughter, and gives him the freedom to spend time doing the things he loves. ‘I thought I was never going to get anywhere in my life, but I became accountable to my vision and got my marketing on point. Follow instructions, take action, implement the systems, and don’t reinvent the wheel. NPE’s systems are fantastic – all you’ve got to do is take them and plug them into your vehicle.’ www.exerciseregister.org REPs 4 MembersProfile_1.indd 4 21/04/2016 10:20
