If you hire a personal trainer to develop a program that gets you in shape, the number one benefit is obviously the results. The benefits of a good personal trainer should be similar, but the usual personal trainer or nutritionist has to worry about their paycheck more than anything about the client. Ovi Ilica is a certified personal trainer and fitness nutritionist with both the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), and he’s certified in Total Resistance Exercises (TRX) to lead any TRX classes. After developing over 800 personal fitness programs, he knew that his personal training method was tried and true, and it’s because his interests are the client’s interests. He founded OviPhysiques to bring in more clients who want long-term satisfaction with their fitness and change the fitness industry for the better.
Over the years as a trainer, Ovi reports that his two biggest joys in the job are inspiration and results. He loves to see his clients reach results because being physically fit doesn’t stop at your body. A ton of personal training clients purchase services not only to strengthen and help their bodies but also because they feel the crushing burden of insecurity. When Ovi’s clients feel more comfortable in their skin, he notices their smiles first. His other favorite part of being a personal trainer and certified nutritionist is inspiring his son, who saw him go through a rough first half of a career and transition into consistently chasing after his goals and passions. Competing in the National Physique Committee National competition and six other men’s physique bodybuilding shows, you can’t separate Ovi from fitness in the slightest. He truly believes in conquering any goal with the right mindset, and it bleeds into his programming.
OviPhysiques programs are personalized from client to client. Ovi takes a positive approach to fitness, and the programs are meant to positively build on a client’s existing strengths. If you’re looking at personal training or other health and fitness solutions for your wellness, you might not think you bring anything positive to the table, but that’s not true. Every single person of the hundreds that Ovi has trained has brought a skill or attribute to session one that could be amplified in the work moving forward. Passion is an obvious example, but even things like organizational skills from office work or remnants of gymnastics or dance from your childhood can be used to make your program more engaging and successful.
In terms of nutrition, Ovi’s advice starts with, “Eat the food!” He knows that you have to build nutrition positively instead of step one being ashamed and cutting out everything. Before you cut some of those unnecessary foods, you have to learn the benefits of eating the right ones. A good nutritionist wants you to feel full; food is fuel, and you need a good diet to live with energy and stability.
Positivity as a business philosophy works to bring long-term success rather than quick fitness fixes. A good fitness service is designed to ask nothing beyond what brings results; bad products and services in the fitness industry turn out almost like addictions. If your trainer requires renewal after renewal, look to a program like OviPhysiques, where the goal is to bring you a sustainable routine. In fact, clients who don’t return because they can stay confident and in shape on their own are great for business!
Ovi got to share this business model on The Blox, where dozens of small business owners compete in a reality competition show environment. He’s come a long way from the start of his career, where he learned some of the helplessness that his newer clients show up with. He was laid off twice, and the first time brought intense desperation and anger at the thought of losing a way to feed his family. The second time was when he applied his business philosophy; he started an LLC, got his certifications, and sprinted into his future.
The world has enough false shepherds in the fitness industry. If you remain unconvinced of any miracle supplements, herbs, pills, classes, cookbooks, gyms, machines, or trainers, you’re in the know! OviPhysiques is a lifestyle change that attracts all sorts of clients because it tailors its model for every new program. Get in contact with Ovi and see how your strengths are the tip of your fitness iceberg.
