Even if you've tried all the popular diets and programs, including Body-for-LIFE, The Abs Diet, The South Beach Diet, or The GI Diet, my methods will give you the lean, strong body you've been waiting for — and you won't have to turn your life upside down to get it...
Dear Friend,
If you're reading this, it means you're interested in losing weight, burning off the fat from your belly, packing on lean muscle and just feeling a whole lot better about the way you look.
Perhaps you've tried taking fat burners, exercising religiously and dieting, all at the same time, and you're still having a hard time trying to figure out why it isn't working.
If nothing you've tried has worked so far, I want you to know that I can help you get the body you want. And you won't need to skip meals, eat tasteless low-fat foods, or spend hours in the gym every day. I'll explain exactly how I can help you in just a moment.
First, I want you to imagine what would happen if you woke up tomorrow with the kind of body you've always dreamed of having...
Visualize looking in the mirror and actually feeling good about the way you look. Picture yourself walking down the beach in a swimsuit without worrying what other people think of you... and maybe even have them secretly admire the way you look.
Think about wearing your favorite clothes any time you want and know you're looking your best... hearing friends and family you haven't seen for months tell you how great you look... walking into a crowded room and finally getting the kind of attention you deserve... feeling the confidence and self-esteem that may have been missing for years come flooding back.
The benefits don't end there. Like it or not, people with a strong, lean body earn more money. They're more popular and attract members of the opposite sex with an almost "magnetic" ease. They project an aura of self-confidence, charisma and power. They demand respect. In short, they are far more likely to "get on" in life.
Let's talk about how you can make it happen...
Have you been going to the gym for months (maybe even years) and you still have nothing to show for it?
The biggest reason most people find it almost impossible to get into the kind of shape they really want isn't that they don't try hard enough. So many people out there work hard, but just don't see the results they deserve. That's because no one ever really told them what to do.
They waste all their precious time searching in vain for the "right" information, yet become totally lost in a sea of half-truths, myths and misconceptions. Eventually, most people become so confused that they simply give up.
It's a fact that some people always seem to have a better body than others. When you boil it down, the most important ingredient in building a better body is the information that shows you how to do it. There are tricks, rules and secrets to everything from baking good bread to getting the body you want. Most people know what they want, they just don't know how to get it.
The Facts About Fitness Members-Only Area is an easy way to get hold of tested and proven information that literally pulls back the curtains, and tells you everything you need to know about building a leaner, stronger, healthier body without starving yourself, wasting countless hours in the gym, or spending a fortune on food supplements.
If you want to shed stubborn body fat once and for all ... get bigger biceps, broader shoulders, a bigger bench press... or strip away the fat from your belly to reveal a flat and attractive stomach, you can't afford to stumble along on the fitness myths of the past.
The Members-Only Area lets you enjoy instant access to the very same information that real experts are using to help their clients (and themselves) get into peak condition. A lot of the information you read about will be totally new. In fact, you'll often discover the latest exercise and nutrition breakthroughs months (or even years) before the glossy magazines bother to tell you about them.
What does being in better shape mean to you?
Is it building a lean, muscular physique that turns heads on the beach? Maybe you just want to look in the mirror and feel a genuine sense of excitement at what you see. Would you like change the way you look, but you're confused by the mass of confusing and conflicting information?
Perhaps you just want to lose fat without depriving yourself of the food you enjoy. Or maybe you're a personal trainer or fitness professional who wants to join the ranks of the world's most knowledgeable personal trainers charging hundreds — maybe even thousands — of dollars to work with a select group of wealthy business owners and celebrities. Want to build abs of steel, broader shoulders and a thicker chest? Or just feel comfortable wearing your favorite clothes again?
With the proper program, which the Members-Only Area will make easy for you to master, it's really up to you.
Join now, and you'll enjoy exclusive access to research-proven, totally independent, "to-the-point" strategies telling you the only thing you really want to know what can I do to get better results faster from the time I invest in exercise?
Think about it...
Once and for all, you'll know exactly how to eat and train to get the results you really want. Imagine never having to worry about being ripped off when you buy a food supplement. Think how great it would be to know there's someone sifting through all the latest research and consumer reports on your behalf... while you simply relax and pick the information up on the Internet.
All of these secrets are information you should have, but don't. Most people simply don't have the time to find out what it really takes to build a better body. That's why I developed the Members-Only Area. It's an easy way to get your hands on a goldmine of fat-burning secrets and natural muscle-building techniques that can save you literally months (maybe even years) of wasted time and effort.
So, who am I to say all this?
My name is Christian Finn. As well as holding a masters degree with distinction in exercise science, I've also lectured at a number of universities and private training organizations around the United Kingdom on fitness training, weight loss and the effective use of nutritional supplements.
You'll find my articles and quotes published in magazines, industry journals and websites, including Fit Pro, Men's Health, Men's Fitness and Men's Health Muscle. You can click here for more details about the magazine articles I've written. If you live in the UK, you might have seen me in the BBC TV series Body Hits or All About Men on Bravo TV.
The short (120 seconds) video clip above is an extract from the BBC TV documentary series Body Hits, where I had just 4 weeks to whip London's worst hockey team into shape!
You'll also find my work featured heavily in Bodybuilding 201, the latest book by Robert Wolff, Ph.D. Robert Wolff lectures through the world on fitness, motivation, and high-level success principles. He has worked with such fitness legends as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Evander Holyfield, Lou Ferrigno, and Rachel McLish.
As certified personal trainer, I've spent more than a decade working with people of all shapes and sizes, as well exercising regularly myself for over 15 years. I’ve lost count of the long hours and late nights spent reviewing the latest scientific research in the areas of diet and exercise. Over the years, I’ve learned what works and what doesn't.
You might think that with all this knowledge, I've always been in shape. But I haven't. Even though I've been working in the fitness industry for over a decade — and exercising regularly for almost 15 years — I'm a little embarrassed to admit that it wasn't until I was 27 years old that I finally got my act together.
Of course, I had made some progress by then. But it was far from impressive. It wasn't until I started setting goals and actually using the knowledge I had (I know that sounds like a bit of a cliché) that I started to see some results. To give myself an extra kick in the ass, I also entered the Body-for-LIFE contest (the one where you send in before-and-after photographs). To my surprise, I was the first ever winner of the Outstanding Male Achievement award in the UK. You can click here to see a copy of the letter I received.
When I first started this site, it was meant to serve as an unbiased and independent source of practical information and advice for a small group of my friends and clients. It's grown quickly, mainly by word-of-mouth (we've never spent any money on advertising). You were probably sent here by a friend or found us using a search engine (such as Google or Yahoo).
I just wish that somebody else had done it before
The Members-Only Area is a goldmine of information I wish that I had been able to find ten years ago! I know what it's like to spend hours in the gym, waste a fortune on food supplements and see little or nothing in the way of results. I understand how it feels to want to quit the whole exercise and diet "thing" because nothing seems to be working.
Let's face it. I'm a long, long way from being the best-built man in the world. There are plenty of guys around who are far leaner, fitter and stronger than I am. But my picture does show that when you combine a proven strategy of training, nutrition and supplementation, you can get into the kind of shape that sets you apart from 95% of the people you see on the street no matter what shape you're in today.
If and when I give you advice, you can be sure I'll be speaking from experience. There's nothing I've ever written about, be it a food supplement, diet or exercise routine, that I haven't used myself.
I rarely spend longer than 45 minutes in the gym. That's not because I'm lazy. It's just that my working day often lasts 13 or 14 hours. Believe me, I simply don't have time for the marathon workouts that all the "experts" tell me I need. That's why I spend so much time trying to figure out how to get better results in less time.
You'll be relieved to learn that you can forget about the food police
The answer to long-term weight loss doesn't lie in the latest short-term diet. As human beings, we can't win if we fight our perfectly natural desire for food. Depriving yourself of your favorite foods does nothing more than set you up for self-sabotage.
The Members-Only Area will not teach you how to diet. Starvation and deprivation is almost guaranteed to fail. Instead, you'll learn how to eat without being forced to make dramatic changes to your life. And when you learn how to eat, not only will you lose fat, but you'll be able to throw away all the guilt, confusion and frustration and get back to actually enjoying food.
I eat when I'm hungry, enjoy the odd treat once or twice a week, and I don't waste hours cooking or preparing food. Forget about turning your life upside down by eating six times a day... avoiding food after 6pm... cutting out carbs... food combining... following the "low-glycemic" lifestyle... or any of this other rubbish that just doesn't work for anyone who actually has a life. I'm telling you right now that absolutely none of this is necessary.
Nor will you have to memorize some fancy exercise routine, or waste your time on so-called "functional movements" and "core exercises." Most people make the mistake of drifting away from the basics and try to make things more complicated than they need to be. When it comes to getting in shape, simplicity is always the best course of action. It's actually a whole lot easier than some people have led you to believe!
When you start treating your body the right way, it changes. And it really doesn't take that long. I find that many people are only three to six months away from building their best body. I've seen it happen plenty of times.
Doesn't it make a lot more sense to skip the learning curve?
You could spend the next five years waking up at dawn and reading research papers and consumer reports. You could try every training program and supplement you can find (and waste thousands of dollars in the process), just like I did, trying to figure out what works and what doesn't.
Very few of the ideas you'll read about on this site are original. They're a patchwork of some of the best information, advice and facts from the world's top experts, presented to you in a way that you can understand and act on.
The Members-Only Area is not just another course, diet or exercise program. It probably couldn't exist without the Internet. It's constantly developing and growing. You'll get the know-how of dozens of separate books with just a tenth of the reading. It's all about cutting out the waffle and getting straight to the facts.

The hard work has already been done for you
Please don't do what I did and waste years of your life trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. You don't need to. I've done all the hard work for you. I've spent years tracking down the latest research, and I'd like to share the best of what I've found with you.
The step-by-step programs you'll find in the Members-Only Area will benefit almost everyone, regardless of their level of fitness or prior experience. Of course, they're not the only programs that work. But when you follow them to the letter, you’ll get better results in less time, without working harder or longer... and with far less hassle.
In short, the Members-Only Area eliminates all the guesswork and spells out exactly how to build a stronger, healthier, leaner body in record time. You'll learn how to reach all your fat-burning and muscle-building goals without ever leaving your home. And unlimited access means that you can learn at your own pace.
Will it work for you?
Before you decide to subscribe, it's only fair to point out that the Members-Only Area is definitely not for everyone. It certainly won't please the man or woman who thinks they already know it all. Nor is it suitable for the kind of person who wants someone else to do all the work. Anyone living under the delusion that a lifetime of unhealthy living can be erased in a few weeks by a "magic" weight loss pill or a special diet will also be very disappointed.
The Members-Only Area itself won't help you do anything other than learn what to do. It's only when you apply the information that you'll get the results you want. You need to supply the desire. And the fact is that many people simply can't be bothered. If you're one of these people, then I'm sorry. I can't help you.
If you're prepared to make a few changes, then I'll be standing by to do everything I can to help. But if you're the kind of person who wants someone else to do all the work, then it will simply be a waste of your money and my time.
Frankly, after several years of giving out advice on this site, I've found that most who read it will never make any good use of it. That's a real shame. Because it's had a big impact on the lives of the people prepared to act on what they learn...

"I think what you're doing is great, and I will recommend it to all of my clients at Duquette Strength and Development. It's almost impossible to find unbiased, intelligently constructed and well researched information in the world of exercise and nutrition these days. I have never, past or present, supported any kind of publication or website, but I am more than happy to fully endorse your work." "You've done a phenomenal job — really professional. You're providing an incredibly valuable service by translating all that scientific stuff into something readable and usable by the 'average Joe'". "I want to send my most sincere, and heartfelt thanks for your excellent website, and e-mails. I can't express to you how much I appreciate gaining this useful information. By following your advice, I am slowly seeing the results I have wanted for years." "I was thrilled by the almost immediate improvement in my fitness. This kind of information is cutting edge and bold. I like the bold honesty of this site. It doesn't sugar coat anything. That's what I look for in my quest for fitness. I find other sites just reiterate the same stupid well-known facts over and over, but I find I always learn something new." "...has helped me to shed some extra pounds that had been previously IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of." "Your site is absolutely fantastic — I am writing an e-book on weight loss and I am finding your site so helpful. I will be pointing my readers (here's hoping there are some!) in your direction. It is really good that you have put the references in together with links which means I can read them for myself. I wish I had found you months ago!" "Since I started using your techniques, I've lost over 19 pounds of fat in the last 11 weeks. This is weight I thought I'd NEVER get rid of! Thank you so much!" "I thought I was a hard gainer until I started applying some of the nutrition tips you gave me for building muscle. Just yesterday, one of the guys at the gym was asking me for advice. He couldn't believe the progress I'd made over the last 2 months." "Goddamn, I love your website! I've always been one to go to the library to research fitness articles, just because I never trusted what I read in Muscle and Fitness, for obvious reasons. Subscribing to this website is like having my own information consultant. Thanks for saving me the time and effort of going to the library. I check this website everyday after I get home from work, plus I reread some articles to make sure I got the details right. First of all, thanks for all the hard work, and brutal honesty and analysis." "I think your website is great, it is wonderful to find some well-researched, critical, scientific articles amidst the confusing world of health and fitness!" "I'd always thought I needed to spend hours in the gym to get in shape. Even though some of the workouts I do now are shorter than they used to be, I'm actually getting better results! I love the time I save." "I LOVE your website. It is truly the only one that I trust." "I appreciate the relevant and compelling information that you share with your readers each week. I believe that all of the great research that you gather is useful for anyone dedicated to being fit and encouraged to live a healthy lifestyle." "First off I just wanted to congratulate and thank you for your website. It is truly first class, and the information provided is amazing. I am a fairly well conditioned individual, but this information has brought my fitness to new levels." "... very useful to us people who do not have the time to keep up with the latest findings. Great web site, keep up the great work." "I am very impressed by the range of subjects and the breadth of the research you seem to have done. I have been searching for a site like yours for a long time so I am delighted to have found a source of information that seems unbiased and well researched." "It's such a challenge getting the straight scoop on diet and fitness information, especially from a reliable single source. I am very impressed with the quality of research and information supporting the articles on this site." "Bravo on a wonderful site! It's so rare to find articles about fitness that are actually backed up by real research. Your extensive citation and knowledge of the academic literature win you big credibility points with me, and I've definitely seen results from following the advice on your site." "I have found so much of the info available both on the Internet and especially in the big corporate mags a waste of time or basically glorified commercials so to find someone with qualifications in the field who cuts through the hype and tells us how it is and trawls through all the peer-reviewed periodicals to bring us the latest research 'from the horses mouth' is a revelation and a massive time saver — thank you!!" "Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been a member of your website for a few months and visit as time permits. I have found the information on your website to be outstanding. Your choice of topic areas and utilization of research from professional journals is very helpful. It truly is what you describe in your promotional material. The information is out there for everyone to benefit from, but the average person does not have the time or resources to gather and distill what is helpful and what is not. I have also found your presentations to be very evenhanded, you do not appear to be pushing any agenda. Your information has resulted in my losing weight, eating a better diet, and improving my general health significantly. Thank you again for the excellent service." "First off, I want to say, "bravo" on the website. Your information and articles are wonderfully informative and well summarized — I love it! Thanks for the great articles and I look forward to many more in the future! It's one of the best fitness investments I have ever made!" "I've searched the entire Internet looking for health info and muscle building info and your site is among the best (if not THE best) I have come across... I've recommended it to any of my friends looking to get in shape." "BTW, your site is GREAT. It's quite unique in that everything is supported by peer reviewed scientific research. I especially like the links to the actual studies that you provide in your references, well done. It's a sad commentary that most of what is said concerning health and fitness is simply a repeat of what someone else said. A side effect of all the documented info you provide, is an introduction of how to evaluate information, a necessary skill to live intelligently in todays world." "Love this site, I am truly in awe of the wealth of information provided by your website. As a healthcare professional (RN) for over 25 years, I have been leary of some information I have read on the internet and other sources. I am very happy with what you present and look forward to reading more! Keep up the good work!!!" "I'm really enjoying my membership of your excellent site, which does exactly what it says on the tin. I've already recommended it to several other people. I'm delighted to endorse your work which I would unequivocally recommend to anyone." "You have a great site. What an impressive amount of research." "I'm excited about my subscription to your site. I am a personal trainer in Florida and find your articles very informative and relevant to the needs of my clients. I often need answers that aren't influenced by advertisers and fads. Thanks for providing such a wealth of information for fitness professionals and rookies alike! This is by far the best fitness website I've encountered. I will recommend you to all of my fellow fitness enthusiasts!" "First thing I'd like to say, GREAT resource you have provided. I really appreciate the work you do digging through research and breaking it down into a well thought out, cohesive article. It's a most valuable training tool, and saves me a lot of time. It is my pleasure to endorse such a worthwhile endeavour. You make my job much easier and I have no problem letting the world know about it." "I have to first thank you on creating such a great resource of unbiased information. I have made much more progress now after becoming a member of your site than I ever did before." "You're making a great contribution in the battle for good health and fitness in the world." "Thank you for your great website, I am a very happy member of your site." "I am finding your website invaluable. Best one I have signed up to. Several of my clients are now on your programs." "I am Frantz. I've been a member of your site for about 2 years now. It's the later half of my membership that I've taken advantage of your information. GREAT site! I enjoy reading the papers you write and implementing the programs." "I am amazed, every time I log in to your site. Your approach is rational and void of hype - which means the name of your site is fair and accurate. Your articles are grouped in a logical way — fat loss, muscle building, etc. Each article is presented in a consistent format, which allows the reader to get to the desired information quickly — the basic question, the detail, the conclusion (always presented fairly) and the references. Your resources area provides quick access to quality information and tools. Please, do not change a thing, and thanks for a great site." "I just want to let you know that I love your site! I think it's the best out there when it comes to information." "I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with the results due to the three programmes given in the article you wrote. I'm closest as I've ever been to my goal weight (so have lost fat — and after numerous Christmas binges there was quite a bit to lose) AND my arms feel firmer — although I've done weights for years and do have muscle it's always been, most annoyingly, a little on the soft side." "I find your site to be quite useful and really appreciate the comparative research you do. I've referred many folks! Thanks for a great site." "Your newsletters and members only content is incredible. I've only been a member for 24 hours, but I already know that the information you provide is the best out there. Keep up the good work, and many thanks." "This is my second year subscribing to this site and it's awesome. I recommend it to everyone." "Your website's been a great motivator and source of information for me as I get back into weight training and an overall exercise regimen. Thanks again for your help." "Christian, your site is fantastic! I have subscribed for some time now. I have been a student of alternative healing modalities and nutrition for over 30 years. I have also been a competitive gymnast in college. Now at the age of 53 I train and do research. Your site has been very valuable in that respect. Again, thank you for the incredible contribution that you have made in the fitness arena." "Thanks for the great website." "I'm a 45 year old male who has been lifting for 2-3 years semi-regularly. These are the results of 42 day plan for me. Weight up 5 pounds, body fat down 4 pounds, and lean muscle up 9 pounds. Thanks for the program" "As a personal trainer here at the local YMCA, I can't tell you how monumental an effort it is to dispel the 'infomercial' fitness myths that our culture cultivates. Your articles and opinions, always reinforced by the most current research, help arm me in my efforts to educate the public and help people realize the truths that should govern the way we approach fitness. You are greatly appreciated!" "I'd like to let you know that I am so glad I joined your website! The information available is not only extremely enlightening but more importantly is simplified to enable the layman to comprehend the seemingly complex science behind fitness issues. I have to confess that all that information at less than 30 quid, I feel like I have ripped YOU off!! Bravo, mate and keep up the good work. I am recommending your site to all my colleagues in Dubai and soon you'll have a legion of supporters out here in the Middle East!" "So nice to see scientifically based training and fitness information instead of the urban myth junk that permeates most 'how-to' books and gym floors. Your site is great and deserves to be recognized as such. Keep up the good work!" "I love your site and e-mails and all the info you offer. I give it alot of credence over all of the other info that I'm barraged with. I do a lot of research. Using what I know and what you have taught me — I've lost 20 pounds. I was 135 pounds (size 9/10), now I'm 115 and a size 5 and looking hot — muscles and all — LOL — THANK YOU!!" "Your fitness articles are authoritive, informative, written in plain and understandable language, and backed by credible references. I've been a subscriber of your service for almost two years now and the consistency of your work has been wonderful." "Thank you for your timely and honest response. Your web site is excellent! Keep up the good work." "Just a new member to your website, writing to say that I think it's great!" "You have an excellent site. Your information on diet/nutrition is especially helpful and I've passed on your website to several of my teammates (we are collegiate rowers)." "I really have appreciated all the work you've put into the articles on your website. I subscribed mostly because you back up your recommendations with study results published mostly in peer reviewed academic journals. I understand what a headache it can be to do scholarly writing, but I would like to say now how wonderful it is for you to read all the technical jargon and summarize it all for me in a central location. I appreciate your service, and think the price is a real bargain. In this world of marketing images rather than reality, the information on your site has been a breath of fresh air." "Please find enclosed a copy of my book, 'Look Good, Feel Great!' as a token of my appreciation for being such a great inspiration to me for many years. I admire your efforts in bringing solid scientific research to the public in easy-to-understand terms that are a pleasure to read. I am also very impressed by your extensive knowledge in a wide range of subjects. Once again, thank you for being such an inspiration and for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience." "I really look forward to seeing your name when my emails come in! The information is always so timely and immediately benefits my life, and my whole family. Keep up the good work to bring truth to the world of nutrition and fitness." "By the way, I'm over 40 (44 actually) and following your advice on fitness and diet have reached a level of fitness I didn't have even at 20! I'm a lot heavier than I used to be, but 2 dress sizes smaller and fit. At my local gym people normally ask me if I'm a fitness instructor (nice feeling)." "I find the information on your site very educational and interesting, it has altered my life." "I have cycled through the 42 day workout twice - love it! Started weighing 183 - now at 198 - fantastic! I thought I was one of those body types that would never build mass, but its happening. I think its important to note I also reduce my cardio workouts and adjusted my eating habits." "Thank you so much for all this information...and so quickly. This alone is worth the price of my annual subscription. At first, I thought I would try it for a month and cancel if it wasn't worth it, especially since I am having such a hard time committing to fitness. I figured this would be another resource I wouldn't really use. I can't imagine being without it now. You were so helpful. Thanks again." "I am 56 years old, 6'1" and was up to 255 pounds and developed Type 2 diabetes. Now, four years later, I'm down to 170 pounds and am no longer considered diabetic. I have done it all through diet and exercise. I siomply control the amount of foiod I eat and try to workout 3 or more times per week. I generally do 45 minutes of aerobic exercise and an hour or more of resistance training per session. My body fat has finally dropped to what I consider to be an acceptable level. Your newsletter has provided both advice an encouragement to me to keep going and improve my results. Thanks again for a great reference source." "I am very impressed with the quality of the information since I joined earlier today - I found many topics under fat burning, supplements, and abs very helpful. I will look forward to sending questions to you from time to time. Great job!" "Although I've been training for a few years now I've only just started to take an interest in all the various aspects of health. I joined you site as soon as I found it. Congratulations on your site!. It has an amazing collection of articles under one roof. Research is so much easier like this." "I'm a recent subscriber to your site and I find your approach refreshing since you rely primarily on controlled scientific studies for your guidelines (and always manage to point out a flaw or two in each study). I appreciate the quality information." "I wanted to commend you for gathering together all the scientific studies in such an easy-to-peruse format. Your site is very well done." " I'd like to add that your website is terrific because the articles are specific, comprehensive, and always backed by a hefty load of quality research. I'm always amazed at how many fitness or nutritional "gurus" publish their views and methods without really backing them up. The articles on thefactsaboutfitness.com are by far the most well-researched insights I've been able to find anywhere — on the internet or in publication — and always cite numerous case-specific studies, biological reasearch, and just plain simple science. It really gives confidence to someone like me — a non-bodybuilder — and helps sift through the plethora of crazy diets and new workout methods to make getting fit as simple as eating properly and getting enough exercise. Thanks Christian!" "Your site is amazing — excellent sifting through so much confusing research. Kudos to you! I'm ten pounds down — twenty to go and confident that I can lose pound and gain health from following your brilliant updates. Kudos and gratitude to you." "Just a quick thank you for all the research and professional advice provided on your site. Awesome! I'm one of those guys that have fallen into just about every program that cost a ton of money and have almost zero positive results. In the hour and thirty minutes since I signed up for your site I have read many articles, printed out work outs and discovered why my efforts just are not working to reach my fitness goals. Starting at 250 pounds on a 6' 2' frame with, well lets say way too much fat from the waist up. I'm looking for to the end of the work day to get started on the FFW program." "Your work is comprehensive and superb! Thank you! You've really tied together the best work of some of the best coaches and researchers on muscle growth in your new "Maximum Muscle Plan." It really puts together in concise form all the fundamental tools necessary to gain mass for a long time. I think the new routines are fantastic! I've used the different variations myself over the years and these are some of the exact templates that have worked for me in the past (both 3 day and 4 day routines)." "I hope to be going on-line at home soon and I'll be in a much better position there to work my way through your site. It has been an inspiration and a great practical help." "Thanks for your website, I was very skeptical about laying down the money for it... but I am pleasantly surprised by a lot of the information." "I would first of all like to congratulate you on your superb site. I have been reading about fitness for about three years now, and I would have to say your site alone has had the largest comprehensive (and relevant) pieces of information I have ever seen. I have exercised on and off because of fustrations on proper techniques, eating, and the like. Your program has just melted the fat off of me. I could see the results within a week. My body composition has changed quickly. I would like to congratulate you on such a superb program." "Your 'FFW' and 'Max Muscle' workouts are the best and most effective I've done in years. Easy to alter the intervals and circuits to keep workouts fresh and effective. Love your site and good advice, the best I've gotten in years." "I have been weight training seriously for about 17 years, and spend much of my free time reading and researching fitness articles in both the print and online media. I believe that the lucidity, depth, intelligence and insight — not to mention the writing quality — of your articles are second-to-none." "The website is an absolute wonder — in these days of evidence based medicine it — we have learnt never to trust statements without back-up evidence and your clear, concise summaries are incredibly heplful because you consistently include all the relevant minutiae of information that allows the reader to reach a sensible conclusion about the merit/weight of the research." "Your website is probably one of the best out there. It is trustworthy. What I like is that you are realistic, clear and honest." "Early days yet, only just joined, but so far, I'm really impressed by your website. I used to be a competitive type bodybuilder (well I was on the way I should say) about ten years ago, and in those days it was all about trial and error, read a hundred conflicting articles from different magazines and pretty much see how it goes. Starting training again for the first time in ten years, and feeling out of touch with the nutrition world, I didn't relish the idea of trial and error again... so I looked at your site... so far from what I've seen, it's very impressive, the articles are to the point and not filled with waffle, very informative, and make a lot of sense. Good job." "You have an awesome article repository. I think it's rare to find a fitness expert write in such a professional manner. You throw in all kinds of quotes and graphs to back up your statements. It's not just some common rote like you see on other fitness tip sites. Keep updating you website and continue your excellent writing." "I subscribed to your website earlier today and have spent a few hours digesting the site's content. It's absolutely superb. I'm a fitness professional myself and run a couple of fitness-based websites so I can appreciate excellent content when I see it — well written, without agenda and most importantly, thoroughly evidence-based. I know the amount of effort that has to go into putting together just one of your articles so it's even more impressive seeing the depth of content you've created. As you know, there are a lot of self-professed fitness gurus in the world these days (many of them seem to have emerged behind the protective veil of a website). The vast majority could learn a great deal from your impartiality and hesitance to promote something that happenend to be statistically significant in a study or two, as a 'revolution in fat loss... or muscle gain!' For what it's worth, one of your articles is worth a hundred on most sites and I hope you continue to opt for quality over content for content's sake." "Your time and efforts are very much appreciated, I have never encountered a service like that you provide with such responsiveness and customization for the individual. Thank you." "Have a great day and keep up your excellent work — I really enjoy your site!" "Christian, many thanks for your help with [Bodybuilding 201]. Keep up the terrific research work and helping people all over the world." |
Before you continue, I'm sure you probably have some unanswered questions and concerns. Here are some of the most common.
Q. What is the Members-Only Area?
A. The Members-Only Area will teach you proven, fast and easy-to-follow ways to burn fat, build muscle and get the lean, strong, healthy body you've always wanted. What we do is collect the best information, advice and facts from the world's top experts and present it to you in a way that you can understand and act on.
Q. How long does a subscription last?
A. A subscription lasts for a full 12 months. There is no repeat billing of any kind. You're also protected by our 30-day cast-iron no-hassle money-back guarantee.
Q. Can't I just get this information from magazines?
Most health and fitness magazines contain articles written by experts in the field. And, while some articles contain information you can use and apply, they're usually hidden in a mass of confusing and often conflicting information. You know the deal. One month they say one thing. Next month they contradict themselves by saying the exact opposite.
The big problem is that every single magazine on the shelves is either owned or supported by companies trying to sell you something. Some are nothing more than a sales brochure in disguise. They're simply very clever ways of selling you products you don't need. Magazines rely heavily on advertising revenue from companies selling everything from food supplements to abdominal training "gimmicks.".
And don't you feel let down after flicking through the latest issue of your favorite magazine? I don't know about you, but the contents never seem to live up to the promises made on the cover. Most magazines only ever contain one or two pieces of information you can actually use. The rest is just advertising, photographs, and useless gossip. Confessions of a Former Women's Magazine Writer reveals exactly what goes on behind-the-scenes look at your favourite magazine... and explains why you shouldn't always believe what you read!
Q. How do I know you're not just trying to sell me supplements?
The content on this site has never been influenced by any commercial, governmental, industrial or charitable organization. Instead, we're funded entirely by private subscribers to the Members-Only Area, a few sponsored links from Google, and affiliate payments from one or two high-quality books featured in the newsletter. The only time you'll see a product or service recommended in the Members-Only Area is when there's solid proof that it works.
Q. How often is the site updated?
The Members-Only Area is continually upgraded, added to and improved on, with several new or updated articles published each month. There is no fixed publication schedule. Our goal is to provide you with accurate and useful information, not to be the first or most frequent with new information. As soon as me or my research team come across reliable information that will help you get better results faster from your exercise and diet program, as a subscriber to the Members-Only Area, you'll be the first to know.
Q. Can't I find the information free elsewhere?
Yes, definitely. Of course you can find this stuff in other places! Where do you think I learned it all? When you think about it, all information is free if you are willing to trade enough time to discover it.
All I do is collect and collate some of the best information, advice and facts around, and present it to you in a way that you can understand and act on. There are bits and pieces of it in dozens of different books, medical journals, and in papers and magazines. And, if you care to spend the time looking for it, you can get some of it free.
But is it really free?
The first thing you need to consider is the amount of time and effort spent tracking down the information you're looking for. Your leisure time is important. The last thing you want to do is waste it in front of a computer trawling through thousands of pages trying to find some useable information.
Even when you track the information down, the next step is trying to make use of it. There are so many different opinions and ideas about the "right" and "wrong" way to do things. You could spend the next five years reading every web page devoted to diet and exercise, and end up even more confused than you are now!
Think about it. If information was water, you and I would be drowning, right? The sheer volume of information on the Internet is literally overwhelming. And the worst thing is that many of the "experts" disagree.
Will the free information you find work for you? The only way you can know for sure is to put it to the test, then cross your fingers and hope you have the results to show for it. If you do, great. If not, then you've just wasted the last few months of your life.
The real difference between finding all this stuff and learning it yourself, or learning it from me inside the Members-Only Area, is the time, money, and effort you're going to have to put into it.
I honestly wish something like the Members-Only Area was available when I started out. I had to read tons of books... spend hours in the library wading though hundreds of research papers... test my ideas and theories on myself... and generally WASTE hours of time and effort to figure out what works and what doesn't.
Investing in the Members-Only Area will probably save you thousands of dollars, and hundreds of hours of time, effort, research and trial and error. It's your choice, but I honestly believe that the smart way is to let me do all the work, and take advantage of the fat-burning and muscle-building programs I've put together for you.
You also need to remember that many online magazines are simply a "front" for supplement companies trying to sell you something. And even if a company just advertises on a site, you'll find that much of the content is heavily biased in their favor. After the "dot com crash", most site owners will say almost anything just to pay the bills.
For example, when researchers from Harvard tried searching for information about supplements, they were shocked to find that of 443 Web sites, almost 8 out of 10 were retail sites either selling the product or directly linked to a vendor.
SOURCE: Morris, C.A., & Avorn, J. (2003). Internet marketing of herbal products. Journal of the American Medical Association, 290, 1505-1509Q. Can I ask questions and get answers?
Yes, all subscribers with a Mentor Membership enjoy exclusive access to their very own personal question and answer service. Join today, and I'll be at your beck and call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
The answer to almost every question you ever had about diet or exercise is literally just a mouse click away. You'll get a clear, honest and easy-to-follow response to your question within 48 hours from someone who isn't trying to sell you diet pills and worthless supplements.
That means you can get answers to questions like...
• Do supplements like NO2 really work?
• When's the best time of day to exercise
• Do high-protein diets cause bone loss?
• What are the best exercises to build up my arms?
• What should I eat to lose weight?
• Are there any exercises that isolate the lower abdominals?
• When's the best time to stretch?
• And much, much more!
Imagine never having to worry about being ripped off when you buy a food supplement. Think how great it would be to end the confusion once and for all about what to eat or how to exercise.
Reading the programs and special reports in the Members-Only Area is a great start, because it will give you all my best ideas about getting into shape. But, there's nothing like getting personal advice and support from someone who's "been there and done it."
For one thing, the one-on-one contact generates a lot of motivation and excitement. Many people find that getting answers to those questions that have been bugging them for ages is enough to get them into gear.
If you like, you can think of me as your personal coach. Almost every world-class athlete will use a coach to go further. The very best entertainers, and business leaders all have someone in their corner they can call on for advice and help. Take advantage of the advice, experience, and support I offer, and you'll avoid common mistakes, overcome problems and find shortcuts to success.
That's what I can do for you. I'll spend as long as it takes to help you get on the right path. We'll touch base via e-mail as often as you like to help you stay on course.
For this kind of service, you'd normally expect to pay hundreds of dollars a year. Subscribe to the Members-Only Area, and you can ask all the questions you like, and get access to the whole site, for far, far less.
It's alright to admit to yourself that you might need a little help. The difference between great results and endless frustration and disappointment is often just one or two little changes to the food you eat and the exercise you do.

When you think about it, there are really only three ways to get the body you want...
ONE Trial and error. You can spend months and years of your life trying every diet and exercise program you come across. Eventually, you'll stumble across one that works. But it might have taken you the best part of a decade to figure it all out.
TWO You can spend all your spare time (and money) carving out an independent path. Search the Internet for hours and read dozens of books. Subscribe to every magazine out there. Again, you'll probably get the results you want... eventually. But why waste time and effort?
THREE Find a mentor. Someone who has done what you want to do. It's the most effective use of your most precious resource your time.
Do you want to be struggling to get in shape for the rest of your life?
Maybe, like I did, you feel like you can be in better shape than you are now, but you haven't been able to figure out how. Most people give up. They rationalize that this is how they were meant to look.
This doesn't have to happen to you.
If you've read this far, the chances are you're precisely the type of person this site is for — motivated and prepared to act on what they learn.
I am sure I can help you get the results you're looking for. It won't happen instantly. But, if you stick with me, I'm confident you'll succeed.
Whatever a "stronger, leaner body", or "better health" means to you, I believe the Members-Only Area can help you attain it. I like to think of the Members-Only Area as showing you how to drive. Then, you decide for yourself where you want to go.
Sincerely,
Christian Finn, M.Sc.
Editor, The Facts About Fitness
