Fall of 2008 Tyler English decided he wanted to leave his job as a trainer in a gym and go out on his own.
He’d kicked around the idea of launching an infoproduct but hadn’t gotten any traction – and about that time we launched the Bootcamp Blueprint.
Even though he still was employed at the health club, he took the plunge and made the 12 month commitment and joined the program.
On December 23rd he felt like he had learned enough to go out on his own and left his job at the gym.
On January 12th, 2009 Tyler opened up his first 2 camps with 15 paid campers and about that many free trials using a Karate Studio and a Dance Studio.
In almost no time he was at capacity with over 60 campers and decided to open his own facility.
On March 30th Tyler opened his own warehouse style facility and moved his camps there.
Tyler was just getting started.
He dialed in, put the infoproduct idea on the back burner, quit worrying about a lot of the online stuff that hadn’t really been giving him a significant ROI and started focusing on the high return marketing activities we were sharing.
By September his camps we up to over 110 members.
About that time, Tyler’s brother Robert left the Marines and came home to work in the business.
Having Robert on board took everything up another notch. Tyler could work even more on the business instead of having to deliver all the camps himself.
Fast forward to now…
Tyler’s facility is literally bursting at the seams.
They’ve got over 200 campers.
Robert’s added his own specialty programs to go along with the camps and weight management programs they already had running.
Tyler’s hired a staff bookkeeper / assistant.
He’s working with his landlord about expansion so he can add more programs and accommodate bigger classes.
His business is churning out 25K or more month after month.
So in about 13 months Tyler went from club trainer to his own facility with over 200 campers and 25K per month.
There are thousands of fitness professionals out there in a similar situation to the one Tyler was in back in the fall of 2008.
Unhappy with their jobs or their current income.
Feeling like they were settling for far less than they we’re capable of.
Hopefully this isn’t you – but maybe it is.
He decided it was time to take action and build the career and the life he’d always wanted.
Will you do the same?

Great story! Tyler is an outstanding person and so deserves all the success he has accomplished. I am putting in the work and will be standing with Tyler in the near future. The Blueprint is without question the best investment I have made in my business. If you are not a part of Bootcamp Blueprint – you better get on board if you want to take your business to the next level!!!
Very cool and inspiring!!! Great job Tyler!
Congrats!
Ty… You are the Man. I really love seeing great things happen to great people.

Yep Dave – he’s a perfect example of someone being willing to do the work and then reaping the rewards.
Thanks for the great post. Very motivating.
Thanks,
Brian
Thanks Dave,
Leaders take action and lead from the front! It helps to have colleagues and friends like you and Pat to lean on!
Thanks for the support!
Tyler’s story is a great one! I was glad that you had posted something about him a few months ago. I saw him using Workout Muse for his workouts and that was when I realized I needed to change how I was doing things to make it more effective and efficient. I began using Workout Muse to help guide my training as of Feb 1.
I plan on being the next success story! From meager beginnings starting in my garage, I plan on growing just like Tyler and others. And now that I’m a member of Bootcamp Blueprint, I expect things to happen even faster!
Thanks for posting this!
Nate
Keep rocking it Tyler! We are doing our best to hang with you!
Dean
Tyler,
I love hearing about how well you are doing. Glad everything is going well and looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Great story, Tyler, thanks for sharing.
Nate, keep moving forward bro! Hope to meet at BCBC 2.0 in June!
Dean, it’s great to have people like you holdin’ down New England brother! Gotta love it! Keep up the great work!
Nikki, it’s thanks to people like yourself that were there every step of the way in the beginning! Volo stuck by me and now it’s thanks to you guys that we were able to systemize our billing process amongst many other things! Thanks! See you in June?
Glad things are cranking for you Ty! Keep the pedal to the metal. I look to hear more about tour next level of success.
One thing about Tyler: He gets stuff DONE.
No excuses. No bullsh*t. No whining. He gets to work and makes it happen.
Great work, Tyler! You continue to impress.
I’m also a BCBP member and I’ve been in a big slump these last few months, and the only things that keep me going are stories like this….
I know I will turn it around
Great job Tyler, thanks for the inspiration!
Great job Tyler!
Thanks everyone!
BJ! Just trying to stay up with the big boys like you, Warstler and Big D! My bro has definitely helped take things to a new level!
Andre, thanks bro! Much appreciated!
Greg, thanks for all your support and knowledge!
Ray, keep your head up bro! Focus on 2 things that really can get your camp busting at the seams! Leverage your network and make it an experience like NO OTHER! Keep pluggin away!
MR. BEARD! Thanks for your knowledge, support and friendship from the beginning! Proud to call you a friend!
Labadie! It’s been a big help to have guys like you, Pat, and Nick to lean on. You guys are truly a major reason I know my success has only just begun! Thanks Jimmy “Pickles”
Brian, thanks man!
Eric and Adam and Jacob thanks for the support! Hard work pays off!
Now my question is WHO WOULDN’T JOIN THE BOOTCAMP BLUEPRINT!? SERIOUSLY! WTF!
Just think ROI people!
When I invested in the BCBP I didn’t have the money to pay for it. But I went out and made sure I got 1 new client EVERYDAY and all it takes is 2 new clients every month to make a small profit and pay for the investment! But who wants only 2 new clients a month when you can add 15, 20, 25 or 30 EVERY SINGLE MONTH!
BCBP has helped change my life! I hope to hear more stories like mine over the next year! NOW GO TAKE ACTION!
See you all at Boot Camp Boot Camp 2.0!
Damn skippy Ty! BCBP is simply the best investment a boot camp owner can make; and not just for all the kick@$$ info you get, but all the inspirational stories like yours that keep us all driving forward. It’s one big team and I’m so psyched to be a part of it.
You’ll be hearing lots more from me brother. Thanks for giving me something to shoot for!
