Turbulence Training Review provides insight into the success and impact of this approach.
I like San Diego.
It was the third time I had been to San Diego, but this trip was slightly different.
I was off to my first Turbulence Training (TT) [¹] Summit. And then, turbulence Training Summit is an unconventional training and business-building seminar for personal trainers and boot camp leaders, run by Craig Ballantyne.
I have been learning training techniques [²] and business strategies from Craig since 2008. Therefore, he has excellent stuff for trainers and coaches.
I interviewed Craig for EFI, and here is a clip from it:
As with all seminars/conferences, I take a bunch of notes. Afterwards, let me go through some of the highlights from the two days of learning.
How To Triple Your Productivity And Have More Time For What Matters In Life With Craig Ballantyne
My clients, friends, and family are always at the forefront of my mind, and I’m constantly looking for ways to focus on what matters rather than what doesn’t ( productivity stuff, precisely). Then, especially with a whole life (clients, business, family, friends, and a dog).
Highlights from Craig’s presentation:
- You need to know where you want to be in 1, 5, and 10 years in the future to succeed in life and business.
- After that, embrace your journey. The crazy path you have taken is an important story you must share with your clients.
- More structure in your life leads to more freedom. Next, build that structure.
- You need to identify your OCD loop, break it and replace it.
- Email is like worms in your brain (Star Trek reference). It distracts you from your purpose, goals, family, friends, life, etc.
- Afterwards, you must do a minimum of one thing daily that moves you and your business towards your goal and purpose.
- It is not the number of emails you get in a day; it is the number of times you check your email inbox daily that drains your time. (Fun stat: The average person checks their email 34 times daily.)
- After that, go to bed and get up simultaneously, seven days a week. (Including Sunday!)
- Structure your best day, and protect it.
- Never, EVER, give up.
The Training Secrets Behind Turbulence Training – Craig Ballantyne
I have only referenced and used Craig’s Turbulence Training workouts, and it was great to get some insight into how he puts his programs together.
Here is a clip from Craig on foot stance and the squat:
A New Way of Looking At & Doing Bodyweight Exercises with Scott Rawcliffe
All of us trainers in the audience were going, “What can this guy teach us about bodyweight exercises? I have been a trainer for “BLANK” years, and I know all about bodyweight exercises.
Well, he surprised us and delivered what he promised.
I took a bunch of video clips from his presentation and will post a blog on it very soon.
Some very cool ones he went through.
Turbulence Training Review
Here are what others have to say about Craig’s turbulence training program:

Furthermore, here’s a turbulence training review from researches:
1. Higher Afterburn Effect
TT-style workouts significantly boost post-exercise [1] calorie burn compared to traditional cardio, keeping your metabolism elevated long after the workout ends.
2. Burns 450% More Fat
Research shows TT-style workouts burn 450% more body fat than traditional cardio, making them far more efficient for fat loss.
3. Boosts Fat-Burning Capacity Immediately
Research shows that when inactive people begin TT-style exercises, their body’s fat-burning [2] capacity improves immediately, jump-starting their metabolism.m Zero to $100K Bootcamp in 90 Days – Cara Eckerman’s Blueprint
From Zero To $100K Bootcamp In 90 Days – Cara Eckerman’s Blueprint
Cara gave a whole bunch of unique ideas on building your Bootcamp fast, including a turbulence training review. She shared her story of how she went from Texas to California and built her boot camp up to six figures in a few months.
The points that stood out to me were:
- Contact every sports club and school in your area and connect with them
- If you don’t have the heart to fire them, don’t hire them
Brand New, Exclusive Secret Strategies to Getting More Clients with Bedros Keuilian
Bedros gets up there and talks. His presentation is often in his little black book. It is often 7 or 8 points on a piece of paper. Incredibly, he can do that. With so little written or typed out, he still gives excellent information. Amazing skill.
Few highlights:
- People buy on want, compared to need.
- Ask, “So why do you mean that?”
- Bootcamps are moving to 30-minute sessions (engaging).
The Key To Building A 7-Figure Facility From Scratch – Alwyn Cosgrove
I have been in the fitness industry since 1994. I’ve been following Alwyn Cosgrove’s work for a long time, but I have not yet had the pleasure of seeing him perform live. I finally did, and it was well worth it from a content and entertainment point of view.
Some of the highlights from Alwyn:
- Don’t just list your core values; live them.
- Do it better than anyone else.
- Be number one or number two. (What is the number 3 soda in the USA? Who cares.)
- The life cycle of a new personal trainer is 18 months (WoW).
- You should be embarrassed by the programs you wrote six months ago. It would help if you were constantly learning.
- Just go to a Cosgrove session to get the best laugh. During his session, I cried with laughter.
- Start small and be awesome.
- Ideas are worthless. Action on pictures is what matters.
- There are no mistakes. There are only lessons learned.
That was the end of day one, but we had a reception in the evening. Therefore, it was great hanging out with Craig Ballantyne, Alwyn Cosgrove, Mike Whitfield, Rob King, Gill Whelan, Scott Rawcliffe, Brian Kalakay, and other trainers.
5 Reasons To Add Games To Your Bootcamp – Brian Kalakay
Brian did a high-energy presentation on incorporating games into your Bootcamp to separate your Bootcamp from others.
Here is a little clip from his presentation:
Great comment Brian made: Be an innovator or changer. We did one of his Bootcamp games at the morning Bootcamp, and it was a lot of fun.
Here is a clip from the morning Bootcamp:
Workout Finishers With Mike Whitfield
I have talked about Mike before on my blog.
Here he is talking about the difference between workout finishers and high-intensity interval training:
Mike ran us through an excellent Workout Finisher in the morning Bootcamp session.
If you wonder what a Workout Finisher is, here is a great one that Mike took all of us trainers through in the morning Bootcamp. For me, it opened up my sweat glands and pushed my body into the burn zone.
(No, that is not me breathing heavily in the video.)
I look up to Mike; he has pushed me to take my fitness more seriously. Therefore, this guy has a crazy good story, and if he can change his life regarding nutrition, fitness, and mindset, I can take my fitness more seriously and to the next level.
How To Get Exactly What You Want in Life – Craig Ballantyne’s Formula
- Take repeated action.
- Stop when you find the answer.
- Define what success is to you.
- Setting small goals leads to small action.
Let me share with you a few of the action steps that I took over the weekend:
- Write out my vision and mission: Help 1 Million people overcome injuries and pain to live a happy and more fulfilled life by 2020. (That was hard and easy, but I am glad I put that out.)
- Have everything that I do focus on my mission. (The thing above.)
- Start building my core values: (a) Never stop learning, growing, and pushing myself out of my comfort zone; (b) Use research to provide myself and fitness professionals better guidance on what to do with injuries and pain.
Summary
Attending the Turbulence Training (TT) Summit in San Diego was a fantastic experience. After that, Craig Ballantyne shared practical tips on productivity, showing me how to better structure my day, set goals, and stay focused. Then, his TT workouts, as highlighted in my turbulence training review, are all about burning fat faster, and research shows they’re much more effective than traditional cardio.
Moreover, i picked up new bodyweight exercise techniques from Scott Rawcliffe and learned from Cara Eckerman how to grow a bootcamp to $100K in 90 days. Plus, connecting with top trainers like Alwyn Cosgrove and Brian Kalakay made the event even better.
Overall, it was a great mix of fitness and business strategies that I can use right away.
Okay, I am off to the plane. I will work on my little section at the end in a bit.
