"When writing my own and my clients programs now, I am far more rigorous and demanding of myself. It is the process of truly thinking for oneself in regards to exercise prescription that is the most valuable asset of the IART qualification." Simon Shawcross

With Brian D. Johnston, Director of Education, President I.A.R.T.

Attention Gym Owners and Seminar Trade Show Promoters

The fitness industry does not remain stagnant, and neither should you...

  • Offer first-rate services with your customers and gym patrons with seminars on dozens of topics like no one else could present.
  • Provide your staff advanced training methods such as fatigue testing methodologies, data collection, technical instruction, critical thinking techniques and report writing. Now you can set the highest standards in fitness instruction and supervision with private workshops.
  • Book Brian D. Johnston for your next seminar/trade show.

Contact us with your details (location, purpose, length of time, etc.) so that we can provide rates.

"I'd like thank you for the invaluable wealth of information that you have bestowed upon me. There's absolutely nothing out there like it. And it really does work. Thanks." Rick Krawczyk

Telephone Consultations

Although other consultation services are available through many perceivably reputable experts and sources, only Brian D. Johnston offers the quality that you would come to expect.

Usually a "stock" program is offered, and perhaps some general guidelines relative to what an expert "thinks" you should do based on his or her philosophy.

However, when hiring the services of the president of the I.A.R.T., author of over 12 books and international lecturer, you work as a team, providing details of your training patterns and responses (journal entries), your method of exercise performance (video tape), historical data (photographs and training evolution), etc. Then together you problem solve what is going right and what is going wrong, something most others cannot do because they lack the experience and critical thinking tools to discover what is ideal for YOU!

All this takes serious commitment and a bit of work on your part but, after all, you want serious results and quality direction so that you can achieve what your genetics will allow. If this were not the case, you would not be seeking the advice of one of the industry's top authorities and our most prolific theorist. However, if you want quick answers and for someone to lead you in a haphazzard "cross-your-fingers" fashion, then it is best to look elsewhere.

Brian D. Johnston has coached and directed all types of individuals, from competitive bodybuilders and strength athletes to those who have undertaken physique transformations or who simply want to be their best. He can help you do the same. Call (705) 566-7276 or e-mail us today for details. Our rates are highly competitive and we will open your eyes to the world of individualism within the realm of exercise science.

New Private Services

Available at one time for only I.A.R.T. instructors, Brian D. Johnston now offers private 1-2-1 clinics and workshops for all fitness enthusiasts. Plan your next vacation and spend two days with the president of the I.A.R.T. to learn proper exercise technique, how to exercise effectively and efficiently for your needs and goals, problem solving methods so that you can overcome any hurdle, and advanced weight training application so that you can produce the greatest effect in the briefest time. Walk away with new-found knowledge (guaranteed) and a certificate of completion. Mr. Johnston is also available for travel, for workshops and lectures. Contact us with your details (location, purpose, length of time, etc.) so that we can provide rates.

Below are two examples of of individuals with whom Brian D. Johnston worked with for 12 weeks each. In the first photo set at top, Debbie Woloshyn lost 19 pounds of fat and gained 4 pounds of muscle concurrently. Her primary goal was fat loss and some "body shaping", which transpired with both the fat loss and muscle gain. Another four weeks would have put her in top shap. In the second photo set at bottom, Kyle Hope, a 15-year old hockey player destined for the NHL, wanted to gain muscle mass over the summer of 2003 and he achieved a total of 15 pounds over 12 weeks (from 160 to 175 pounds), added over one-inch to each leg, and increased his strength by 200% in some exercises. However, he also needed to correct a physical abnormality in his shoulder girdle (caused by a broken collarbone), which normalized by the eighth week. Both individuals had unique needs and goals, and their individualism was taken into account as a result - there is no other way to do it if exercise science is applied properly! Brian D. Johnston also knows what it takes to train hard and smart, as his drug-free photos demonstrate in the Success Stories archives.

Clinic Testimonials

"Although I am certified, there are times when I just want to ensure that my understanding and application are in accordance to the standards. So, I sought guidance and answers to my other concerns. Just like any multi black belt martial artist, they understand the significance of occasionally being trained and tested by a higher ranked member to keep sharp.

"This consultation proved extremely beneficial because as I learned how to enhance my reasoning, communication, and approach with clients. As a refresher, he also clarified and integrated the IART material into a more purposeful and effective manner. Topics included APEX, blitz cycling, physique transformation, PRAXIS, and ideas on how to make the most of our service to generate more income. Naturally, there is only so much that one can grasp and effectively apply solely just by reading the materials. Thus, further explanation or assistance may be necessary in order to optimize its benefits. I can truly say that I am capable of providing a higher level of service.

When you have your own 1-on-1, you can expect him to be professional, extremely knowledgeable, attentive, down-to-earth, and patient. My advice on how to make the most of your visit is to ensure you:

1-have your concerns prepared
2-are willing to learn
3-maintain critical mindedness rather than just being open-minded
4-just relax and not be too nervous

"Being someone who occasionally needs things repeated a few times before I understand it, you can be assured that he'll work with you until you're satisfied."

"Of special note, I appreciate his willingness and efforts to constantly improve upon the quality and quantity of the IART materials. The evolution of the content is influenced by feedback from others, personal research, and merely learning from students' weaknesses and resolving them. Brian Johnston understands that the success and direction of the organization is a collective effort and everyone is important.

"The clinic is a focussed and informative 1-2-1 session. You've read the original and new material, but by being there discussing and demonstrating the ideas, you can get a better understanding and feel for any ideas that may be unclear. It's an 'integrative' process that ties in everything together, done at your own pace and in an informal manner. Ultimately, it leaves a feeling of confidence when you get a chance to use the techniques on a client or yourself."

Thaddeus Clavero, CEI

"If you are serious about exercise and being the best possible exercise professional, then the 1-2-1 session is one resource that you simply can't do without. My experience was positive in every way and exceeded all my expectations. The cost is very low for the value. Having all my questions answered, getting personal tutoring, being put through a real work out (discovering what a real workout is) and getting to know the man behind all those great books and resources was priceless. My advice for those smart enough to take advantage of the 1-2-1 session is be prepared, know your stuff, have all your questions prepared in advance and just relax. Brian is very patient, down to earth and will go over everything until you are satisfied."

Abraham Cartland, CEI
