Client Feedback
 

1. The entire concept of KSI, really teaching the world how to train with extraordinarily valuable products helping you to make your own mind up, as well as the customer service have appealed very much to me and are within themselves so holistic.

 

Therefore, my answer is that this (the holism) is exactly what I like most about your company. The downside - if you wish- is, from the perspective of a medicine student who does not really have time to execute a job other than university and has therefore limited funds, that your products are relatively high priced, but as they are completely worth every penny and contain so much information, I completely agree with this situation. What I am basically trying to say is that my hunger for more has steadily grown within the last weeks, but unfortunately, right now my financial status won't allow for as many investments as I would love it to. On the bright side, I have something to look forward to in the future, though!

 

2. I have communicated via email with Teresa, who has been very helpful for me in changing one detail on the address of my order which was incorrect prior to it's shipping. Furthermore, she held me up to date as far as the status of my order went and really cared for my opinion in your services, which was a very nice experience. I can only say positive things, and of those more than a mouthful, about your customer care (only this questionnaire shows it all).

 

3. I was really very positively surprised by the love and care you handle your customers with and enjoyed almost everything of those gifts.

 

Starting with the goodies contained in the package itself (your card, KSI candy), you just went on and on with free treasures, like the KSI Forum from which I have also learned a lot, the Checklist, that is a nice tool for charting progress on my road to knowledge, as well as the PCTP email series which might help me in optimizing my money handling.

 

If I had to pick a favorite among these, it would be the free membership in the Forum because one can interact with your coaches directly there.

 

4. Well, the first part of the question is easy - you are exceptional in every aspect I can think of! As a customer, I get the feeling that you really care about me, which is in my eyes probably the best compliment you can give to a company. Your service is very friendly, charming and fast and your products are of high quality. So, I am really happy and proud to have the opportunity to be part of this! Thank you!

--Steffen

 

Customer support has been great via e-mail

 

The customer support has been great via e-mail, I enjoy getting e-mails back with a real responses with actual thoughts where with most online support they just give you a general thanks email and a 1-800 number. I have had no need to be contacted by phone so I can't comment on that, but the online documents I found really helpful.

--Andrew

 

Thank you for gifts the emails and the personalized card!

 

Yes my book arrived and I read it already thank you for gifts the emails and the personalized card, brilliant book hard to describe how good it is, I've done a lot of your exercises you done for Men's Health UK  so a very good insight to how you train thank you.

--Robert

 

KSI is way too commercial

 

I have bought one book, that's all. I have not yet read it or judged the KSI methodology.  So far I have received ten emails from your company. Frankly that is a bit much. I'm starting to think KSI is way too commercial to be a community that I would want to have anything to do with. Give a guy a chance to form an opinion before trying to sell him. Make sense?

--xxxx

 

The audio CD was amazing!

 

I received my order around 2 weeks ago. Thank you for checking in. The audio CD was amazing!

--Greg

 

A very useful tool

 

Mr. King, I found the KSI Product Checklist a very useful tool. I'm programming to order a couple of items...

--Antonello

 

A welcome reminder of what I need

 

I found the KSI Product Checklist easy to follow and a welcome reminder of what I need to go to the next level.  Thanks a bunch!

--Angela

 

Speed Specialization Series

 

The speed and agility DVDs are great. If I want to be the best I have to learn from the best.

KSI Coaching Program
Preparing for 2008

The KSI Coaching Program has three levels:
 
1. Intern Coach (CIP)
2. Mentored Coach (CMP)
3. KING Coach
 
In preparation for 2008 we share the following:
 
1. Intern Coaches (CIP)
 
A major highlight for 2008 will be the August KSI Athlete & Coach Camp, held in Park City USA. To be eligible for the CIP component of this event (CIP 103) you need to complete the two pre-requisites - the CIP 101 and CIP 102 PRIOR to attending the CIP 103. For more information go to http://www.kingsports.net/kingcoaches.htm.
 
I find a lot of the information very valuable, but the thing that definitely made the biggest impact on me was changing my mind (not thinking "wright and wrong", not limiting my beliefs and so on). I have found incredible value in that in my own training for my sport as well as for my athletes.
 
Actually I've stopped working with 2 athletes because I think my time is not best invested with them, but therefor the results and the attitude with the other athletes increased! Because they saw that I now pick with whom I work, they want to work with me even more.
 
Also when I first logged into the forum I found the way of answering questions by the CMP coaches and yourself and Ian confusing, but after getting used to it it challenges me to find my own answers which is great! I still got a long way to go, though. All the best
--Andi
 
2. Mentored Coach (CMP)
 
If you have completed the CIP in full and wish to be considered for the CMP (2008 intake) we ask you express your interest in email to [email protected] before 11 January 2008.
 
3. KING Coach
 
This level is reserved for coaches how have successfully studied the KSI way for four or more years. These are the world's leading components in the KSI approach. This coaches possess  personal traits such as determination, humility and gratitude in above average levels.
 

In one of my very first emails to Ian, I was floored to see the cost of a 3 day boot camp.  My email said something to the effect of "how could I justify the equivalent of my monthly mortgage for 3 days with you?!" Long story short I attended a weekend seminar and was so impressed that I humbly identified myself to Ian as the one who sent the email.

 

Subsequently I went on to attend and host several 3 day boot camps and later became the KSI Director of Education - now teaching Ian's methods in the 3 day boot camps.  Because of the information I've put in to practice, as the result of my investment in the first seminars and CMP, I can confidently share with you that we are in a completely different financial position.  I'm sorry that I cannot tell you what our return on investment has been, for the simple fact that we have not stopped collecting on it yet.  In short, my wife Rhonda "retired" from the workforce six years ago; I've reduced a 70-80 hr/week job to a part-time subcontract, in order to manage our 3 other businesses and growing real estate portfolio and most importantly spend more time with our three children.

 

I'm sharing this with you - not as a boast but as a testimonial to what can be achieved with guidance, action and a willingness to do things differently.  At some point we made a value vs cost decision.  That is. what will it cost us if we don't make the investment?   If there is anything I can do to assist you - please let me know. All the best,

--Mike Pimentel, KING Coach, KSI Director of Education, [email protected]

Q & A with Ian King
 
Our KSI Global Athlete Program offers anyone in the world the opportunity to work with the best. Some have taken advantage of that - we have clients in a number of different countries who travel interstate for the express purpose of spending time with our top coaches. However we realize this is not for everyone - not everyone wants to get the best. For some, getting what they want, they perceive they want), what they believe they can afford, or what is convenient is  more important.
 
That's a great thing about life - we have choices.  We choose to provide what we believe is the best programming service available in the world. You, as the consumer, simply choose if you want that or not!
 

I have a question about hiring a King Coach

 

Hi I'm trying to found out about personal training for me. please call at 760 685 0300. My name is xxxx.  I have called a few times with no response.

--xxxx

 

xxxx - what number have you been calling?  Re. our services, we have a client review process which involves learning more about what you are looking for firstly.  I encourage you to go to this link to start this process: http://www.kingsports.net/coachlocator.htm. Thanks.

--Ian

 

I've been calling your contact # 1-775-3274550. I will fill that out but I'm looking for some online training not sure if you do that or not or should I buy the books which one would be best this is why I wanted to talk to someone but none seems to call back.

--xxxx

 

xxxx - when you have called the 775 number, have you left a message? If you could narrow down the day/time you left messages I will follow up on this. At this stage we have not received a message to call you so I want to fix the problems in our office if you can help with the info

 

Not sure what you mean by online training but yes, my coaches provide programs through phone and email communication. However we do things a lot differently than anyone else - we individualize the program design, which means more time is spent by the coaches with the client in communication and program design. If someone wants a low cost, non-individualized program, we are not the ones to use.

--Ian

 

Thanks for getting back to me. I can't remember exactly the time but I left two messages for someone to call me about the books get buffed series. I'm not a competitive athlete but I'm looking for the best way to train as I'm very committed. I need to know what the prices are. Or maybe is it better that I follow your programs in the books.

--xxxx

 

xxxx- I will make inquiries to see why we didn't receive your message.  If price is you main focus I suggest KSI coaches are not for you. It may be better that you follow the programs in the books.

--Ian

 

Ian I never once said price was my main focus but I'm not rich so of course price is a concern. We are wasting each others time by me filling out all this paperwork to finally be told what we your rates are. On your site it never once said we only train rich athletes or businessman. I've never had to deal with anything like this. You have a number so I called and wanted info on your training and all I get is hush hush. Fine I'll go somewhere else.

Get Buffed! ProductsGet Buffed Feedback
It works!
 
I believe everyone even remotely interested in training should own it!
 

Dear Ian - As for your products and services, I surely found them outstanding! Get Buffed! is a book I believe everyone even remotely interested in training should own because it really provides a great insight into the rationale of your unique approach to physical preparation. The writing is simple, easy to understand and fundamentally logical, yet so incredibly sophisticated- perfect! Thank you for publishing this masterpiece. I am glad about having found the KSI way, not only of training, but also of seeing things. I am sure to purchase more of your material in future!

--Steffen

 

I have finally found a book that is made for everyone who wants to gain strength and size!

 

Since august I have bought 6 books from you. I love the get buffed books, and I'll be honest reading all the "hype" about the books I wasn't a 100% sure that it would really work, it seemed too good to be true. I have many different bodybuilding/strength training books and a lot of the programs I have tried in the books which were trash.

 

Then I see how many people have been making great gains in your books, I wasn't sure if I could believe everything I was reading about your books, but I did want to try it for myself, and I'm really glad I did. I am surprised with what your Get Buffed! program has done with increasing my strength.

 

I truly love the "general" program, it's great to see great training results. As you know I am from North America and all the training I have seen here is high volume so I was a little worried about less volume and losing size but you proved me wrong!

 

I'm happy I have finally found a book that is made for everyone who wants to gain strength ad size. Your books are now what I base my training on and as well as my friends (sometimes my friends ask me to train them or make a program for them). I am extremely pleased with the products I have bought from you. I am very glad I took the time and money to buy your books. Thanks Ian!

--Andrew

 

Thanks again for your excellent material.

 

My order has arrived, thank you. I'm starting the bodybuilding program in GB III today, but my hope is that after I've gone through the How to Write... book I'll be competent to write a personalized program.  Thanks again for your excellent material.

--Colby

Since reading and taking your advice on proper warm ups

 

Dear Ian, I am half way through the program from the book and loving it. I have always struggled with the squat from crook knees,(patella dislocation from football both knees), but since reading and taking your advice on proper warm ups, thorough stretching and wrapping my knee's, I can handle more weight and they recover a lot better, the book was a real eye opener, I discussed this with Mitchell on the forum as well, and the audio CD's were great. Thanking you.

--Simon.

 

Gained 10kg in 3 months from following your training program

 

Hey Ian, The first time I wrote in this thread was 2 months ago when I first started your Get Buffed I program....now I am at the end of the program and I want to tell you a BIG THANKS, so far I have gained 10kg in 3 months from following your training program....I also bought GB II, III and IV and I will follow them as a sequence and after that I will design my own programs from the book HTW programs. Thank you so much for your great help!

--George

 

I purchased all 3 get buffed books in the past

 

Ian - I have received the latest Get Buffed. I didn't need it right now, but I wanted to be certain that I would have it when the correct time to study it came along. I purchased all 3 get buffed books in the past and I plan on going thru all 3 books before embarking on the 4th volume. I started volume 1 in September 2006 and have been working out using the acquired knowledge. I will be starting volume 2 this January. It is a lot of material to assimilate correctly, but will still wait al least 2 years before embarking on volume 3.Warm regards

--Bernard

 

I look forward to training the king way!

 

Hey Ian, I have read the third Get Buffed book, but I have not started to read the fourth because I am extremely busy with university these days. I have looked threw it and it looks very interesting, but too advance for myself at this point in my training life. I look forward to training the king way from book 1 to 3, maybe 4 after a couple of years. Thanks for the great books, I no look forward to reading (or should I say writing my own programs) how to write strength training programs and Ask the master! Thanks for the great products.

--Andrew

 

I agree with you that flexibility promotes health and wellness

 

Hello Ian, I have just finished reading GB IV.  I enjoyed the information provided and enjoy your approaches to program design. While I have followed your generic programs, I am now enjoying the process of analyzing the way I feel and adjusting programs to suit myself.  I find it's all about recording my experiences in each session and reviewing at the end of the entire program.  It's a slow process of developing more awareness of myself and how I respond, but the more I understand about myself, the more confidence I attain.  This year I also committed myself to improving flexibility and 11 months into it I am really enjoying the benefits.  I agree with you that flexibility promotes health and wellness, not just injury prevention.  (as per your audio CD interview). Also great to see someone talking about micronutrients and sleep!

For those who seek out the opportunity!
 

A select group of people had the pleasure of sharing a day with me in early December 2007 in the US.

 
This opportunity may present itself to those who seek it out during 2008!
 

I feel like I learned more in a day with you than I ever thought possible!

 

Coach King, My name is Adam and I attended your seminar this past Saturday at Tufts. I just wanted to send you an e-mail and thank you again for everything. I feel like I learned more in a day with you than I ever thought possible. Your techniques for the clean, snatch, and squat will change the way I train, and your insights and observations about the body and me in particular have motivated me to rededicate myself to my training, and stop cutting corners. Again, I just wanted to say thank you for coming and for all the help you offered. All the best,

--Adam

KSI Forum
Not your average forum!
 
The KSI Forum is not your average forum. For starters, it is not a numbers game - it is a members only forum. And that's just the first distinction!
 
KSI Forum membership is open only to those who invest in KSI products and services. Visitors passes (limited viewing, no interaction) is given to everyone who registers for the KSI updates and newsletter.
 

Ian, Yes, thank you.  I have found it very useful so far.  Learning alot as I read through the postings already there. I find the staff answers very informative and helpful.  They ask questions to make you think about the theories and answers.

--Malinda

 

When I first logged into the forum I found the way of answering questions by the CMP coaches and yourself and Ian confusing, but after getting used to it it challenges me to find my own answers which is great!

--Andi

 

I was really very positively surprised by the love and care you handle your custumers with and enjoyed almost everything of those gifts.

 

If I had to pick a favorite among these, it would be the free membership in the Forum because one can interact with your coaches directly there.

Paycheck to Passive
Free PCTP 101 Course!
 

The following is feedback we have received from someone http://www.kingsports.net/products-pctp-introcourse.htmwho has completed the free Introductory to Paycheck to Passive Course available at the KSI web site or by clicking here.

 

PCTP 101 COURSE

 

Ian - Your teachings on financial improvement and freedom were invaluable. I've seen similar educational material before, but yours offered much more clarity and simplicity on how to get what you want financially and personally. I had no success with other programs, but yours has completely changed the way I think and manage my finances.  

 

I went from feeling like I had no money and having to save everything to realizing that with some simple organization, I actually make a good living. The clarity came simply through the programs teaching on money management and being proactive in the approach to having financial freedom without sacrificing time. I lacked the structure and planning in my finances, thus I never realized what success potential I really had. I now have a  foundation in place which is foreshadowing a lifestyle of limitless financial and personal wealth.

 

I look forwarding to progressing through the program.  Thank you for the change in mindset.

--Will

This course is a two month course covering six lessons.  The material is delivered weekly by email, allowing you to work at home at your pace. As the title suggests this is introductory material yet you will find it unique to the PCTP approach to financial education.

Welcome to Paycheck to Passive - An Introduction!
Lesson 1 - Improve your Financial Defense!
Lesson 2 - Get your money working for you!
Lesson 3 - Improve your Financial Offense!
