This book will help with decisions about modern facility design, equipment selection, strength and power programming, conditioning, and speed development, all while giving tips and suggestions on staffing and coaching in today's world. Coach Boyle's 40 years of coaching history puts him in the rare position and ability to evaluate modern training ideas and implement them, testing on a variety of client and athlete abilities along the way. His coaching skills enable the readers to benefit from his successes and mistakes as they progress through their careers. "This is the book I needed 20 years ago when I opened my facility. So many mistakes could have been avoided! This book is like having Mike as a trusted mentor by your side through what can be the very daunting venture of being an owner of a training facility. No one in the industry has done it better than Mike and has had more success, but he is humble and very open about lessons he learned through experience and trial and error. The insight is priceless and delivered in an easy-to-digest and matter-of-fact manner that doesn't overcomplicate or intimidate like some other books on this topic do. This book should be MANDATORY reading for anyone considering entering the fitness industry who is looking for a successful and sustainable career." -Eric D'Agati, ONE Human Performance
