Entrepreneur, Sept, 2005 by Jim Labadie
I can't begin to tell you how excited I was to read about David Barton in the 'Almost Famous" section of the July issue. As a fellow fitness entrepreneur, I can tell you from experience, we aren't always held in the highest regard. I've had more than a few people snidely tell me they wished they didn't have to work at a "real job," either.
I think Mr. Barton is a perfect example of the new fitness professional. Many personal trainers are nurturing their entrepreneurial spirit and building fitness empires. The days of being labeled "muscleheads" aren't quite behind us yet, but with the David Bartons of the world leading the way, our reputation will soon [be] the one we deserve: highly educated, motivated and skilled professionals who can no longer be ignored by the rest of the business world.
