Certified Fitness Nurse™ Coach Success Quote:
“The secret of success is constancy to 
purpose.”

~Benjamin Franklin
WANTED:
Licensed RNs/LPNs who are fitness enthusiasts who:

  • are not necessarily currently working in fitness or even certified in fitness / but may be
  • miss patient teaching & want to stay in the healthcare industry; NOT the fitness industry
  • may already work in the 'fitness industry' but are burned-out & tired of the one-on-one training that limits income and is a poor leverage of your time
  • recognize it's easier to market yourself as a nurse with a specialty in fitness to other healthcare professionals (they know you do more than take BP's) than a to work in a very, very competitive 'fitness setting' where no one cares you're a nurse until their eyes roll into the back of their head and/or fly off the treadmill, not because you teach Zumba 
  • have computers and want to use them to make money while helping others get healthier
  • believe, knows just from common sense, that eating no/low fat diets & doing 45-60 min., 4-6 day/wk 'cardio' exercise as not being sustainable and does NOT define healthy behavior.
  • can see the GLOBAL impact of the internet and welcomes the opportunity that it opens up
  • want to work part time and grow as an independent contractor promoting your services and naming your own fees and working according to YOUR time table, in the healthcare world
  • are ready to try your skills at doing something you really love and can make a difference


Who Certified Fitness Nurse™ Coaches are NOT:
  • We are NOT personal trainers who happen to be nurses
  • We are NOT interested in improving athletic performance
  • We are NOT interested in "managing diabetes"
  • We are NOT interested in dependency
  • We are NOT about complicated, hyped-up exercise routines/bootcamps/"Biggest Loser"type hours
    and constant eating (6 mini-meals a day = diabetes starter kit)
     


We ARE nurses interested in collaboration with physicians interested in nutritional medicine and finding health for their patients and other healthcare professionals interested in corrective, holistic therapies, prevention and acheiving healthy old age with and for the patient/client by

SIMPLIFYING A SUSTAINABLE PROCESS for them:

  • We help patients/clients to improve their health; then reduce their waist as a result of that
  • We uniquely position ourselves between the physician/APN and the fitness professional
  • We are a patient/client-centered care option for physicians/APN's looking to prescribe exercise & the best pharmaceutical-grade nutritional supplements to pre-diabetic/ hypertensive patients. (my ideal client example and not rehab or rehab-needed patients)
  • We teach tried & true principles of the 20/80 rule.  We know it's 20% exercise and 80% food, hormones and stress (dis-ease).  But we keep that 20% (exercise)
    as a constant denominator in our client teaching as we
    improve client outcomes.
    (Also we are 20% Fitness and 80% Nurse in our practices)









If you can handle the TRUTH about exercise, not what's popular, but what's actually metabolically needed to heal people with inflammation and prediabetes through diet and exercise, and can listen to the whole 2-hour interview (below) between Dr. Mercola (I'm sure you've
heard of) and Dr. McGuff (his book, "Body by Science" is available on my affiliate page), then you and I, my friend, share the same stage.  I could listen to this stuff all day long.  Together we can change lives as Certified Fitness Nurse™ Coaches. 
Sure, some terms you may have heard of before, like HIIT and super-slow, they are not new, but I challenge you to just listen and more importantly repeat as a mantra, what these 2 medical doctors are saying how proper exercise impresses them and improves health. Again, not like in the traditional fitness industry way, (cardio craze) which 'eats muscle, destroys joints and keeps your clients inflammed but addicted'.  Are your clients living in fear, which is not healthy, like the fear of what happens to most people when they can't keep up the 'usage' type-exercise any longer?  Yes, they can re-gain weight because the calorie burn is gone but worse, they can become an exercise casualty.  They may give up on exercise totally and say things like, "Exercise doesn't work for me".  This interview discusses exercise in the "less is more" kind of way.  Remember, this is about your client getting healthier, so they can avoid medication, not you training or showing off how many miles you can run or how much weight you can lift in 3 sets.
There's got to be more doctors out there who feel like these 2 do! Let's work with them.  I want to seek them out!
If while listening to this, you say, "that's just what I thought" or "that really makes sense to me", then you won't hesitate to sign up above to receive my updates on the CFNC course and future CFN blog entries.  This interview is literally mind-blowing, especially if you've never studied exercise physiology before.  Actually it's still mind-blowing if you have studied exercise physiology before, you'll just get the terms better.  These 2 doctors also talk about why physicians are caught up in the legalities of 3rd party medical protocols and what they have to do to break free if they want to prescribe healthier, more natural ways for finding health for their patients. There are just too many profound  statements throughout the interview to list. 
Dr. Mercola is actually amazed by the information too. I HOPE YOU CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH, this information and philosophy is a truth the CFNC embraces.  Right on! Dr.'s McGuff & Mercola:






















Have you heard?:  "If you don't lose weight and improve these numbers, on your next visit, I'm going to have to give you a prescription" from your doctor? Know someone who has?  Probably. This is where the Certified Fitness Nurse™ Coach comes in.  We're a solution for doctors too.
More options for their pre-diabetic, metabolic syndrome, hypertensive patients. 
An option they can trust.
As a professional nurse, are you interested
in combining your fitness and your nursing skills
but don't know where to start and want a
"Done-for-You" Certified Fitness Nurse™ Coach template program?
We are nurses who use our passion for fitness and movement to help lower insulin levels and combat metabolic syndrome (1 out of 6 people have)* before Type 2 diabetes and hypertension becomes our client's destiny.  (You may use this template for your ideal client too)


  • Would you consider recommending only the best, pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements to assist or compliment? How about the #1 rated nutritional supplement in North America, by independent publication (which means to you and your clients that potency and bio-availability are guaranteed)
  • Do you agree with this statement, "Automatic habit-forming begins with awareness and continues with results?"
  • Do you agree that weightloss begins "between the ears" and how we eat is indicative of how we live our lives? (ie: a fast eater is usually unaware, type A, driven and on antacids)

  If you answered "Yes", please sign up above for the regular updates of the CFNC course. 
Also please visit the Certified Fitness Nursing Blog for great videos and more information and ideas.                           
                      
  The Certified Fitness Nurse™ Coaching course can open up
                      a new path for you with just a computer, a phone,
                          webcam (optional) and 4-5 quality clients a month.
                      (Hint: Does full time money; part-time hours from home sound good to you?)



You could be having this conversation...LOOK how easy it is:
“What do you do?”
“I’m a Certified Fitness Nurse™Coach”
“What’s that?”
“You know how people dread going to the doctor knowing that he/she
will tell them they need to lose weight and/or put them on medication for their increasing waist and poor health-related numbers?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, what I do, through coaching, internet exercise and fitness nursing assessment, is help people reduce their waists on their own, for good, that their doctor (and the client) will love and support."

Here's my contact info**:


"Would you rather have 10 paying clients or 1,000 people   who just listen?"
If you answered the former, you're in the right place. The 1,000 people won't ever
      buy. 
     So don't get caught up in how many friends or likes you have or don't have on
      Facebook or big numbers of people on your e-mail list... if they never buy from you. 
     This site is about quality NOT quantity.  We teach you how to find quality leads and
     clients from healthcare professionals who recognize your nursing training and skills
     (and fitness training too), and are willing to pay for the whole package...you...
      the Certified Fitness Nurse™ Coach! 
      (This philosophy may not apply to Facebook and Twitter.  On social sites it's all about
      conversation and connecting with people, (especially Twitter), and commenting, not
      buying immediately, social media is important in certain parts of your business.)

Remember, Nurses do this,
we:
  • Care for the patient
  • Work with the doctor to cure the patient
  • Coordinate the care of the patient
  • Protect the patient
  • Advocate for the patient
  • Teach the patient and family

We do incorporate all of the above when we practice our great work as a Certified Fitness Nurse™ Coach - just may change patient to client.  We particularly do the last one - Teach the patient/client and family.  We teach exercise as a modality / a tool in the nursing self-care model of what we do.  Patient teaching and self-care theory are fundamental to nursing practice.


Attention Future Certified Fitness Nurses™ Coaches (RN/LPN)who:

  • know that more and more people are requiring an APN or physician's clearance to exercise and who see the potential for a (fitness) nurse to help 'ease' that anxiety of needing to do so (in a potential client for exercise and the APN/physician concerned about their patient).
  • want to deeply impact people, 1 out of every 6 people with metabolic syndrome and the 79 million, according to the ADA*, with pre-diabetes and inflammation in the world with your nursing skills & fitness training.   (You can choose your own story,niche/ideal client, but not offer, in the course)
  • want an already proven Fitness Nursing offer/package to present to physicians and other health care professionals who are seeking other options for lifestyle intervention for their patients/clients.
  • have thought about combining your nursing skills and fitness expertise; but don't know how?
  • are you burned out from caring for people who could have prevented their hospital stay, nursing home admission or medical procedure or medication if they had only exercised earlier in their life or stayed with their lifestyle changes? (Start today)
  • are you ready to raise the level of care, utilize the nursing process, when it comes to providing exercise to 'not-so-healthy' people? (These people are your neighbors, friends and family and they are still able to move and they need to the most!)
  • want to get clear on what you want to do, what you want to make$ (and why), and who you want to help, with your skills & training.
  • are ready to start helping these people by following a business model for a practice/business, designed with you (Certified Fitness Nurse™ Coach) in mind. Do you want to really make a million dollars or is making enough money to pay your mortgage or rent while working only 10-15 hours a week, while doing your great work ok?
  • are ready to explore the possibilities of making your own way and own money; doing your great work as a Certified Fitness Nurse™ Coach? 

Then get excited and mark your calendar for the next Certified Fitness Nurse™ Coach preview call.  If you are already on the fitnessnursing.com mailing list, you will receive the call in information via e-mail prior to the scheduled call.  BUT, you need to have opted-in above on this page, to receive the recording.
