A must for every fitness professional’s library
Reading Be Like the Best is like attending a seminar with 50 of the top fitness professionals and getting to sit down for lunch with each one of them.
The three things I loved about this book… 1. The early morning routines 2. Hearing about the sacrifices people have made for success. It’s nice to know we are not alone 3. The “Be Likes” that urge you to take action and reflect on your own goals, habits, and career.
Success is a Skill
Be Like the Best should be read by everyone, not just in the fitness industry. Holds a lot of great insight to those who are where you want to be. Like Anthony said, you can read it however you want, cover to cover or find someone. The actionable steps at the end of each interview will help you keep moving forward.

I’ve read a lot of books similar to this over the years where experts are interviewed on different areas they are subject matter experts in….VERY FEW deliver the way Be Like the Best one does! Anthony Renna put together a great resource for anyone wanting to find their way to success is fitness and sport performance!

Must Read For ANYONE That Wants To THRIVE!
Be Like the Best is a must read for anyone that wants to thrive, regardless of your profession! Anthony does a great job of compiling experience based advise from some of the most successful people in the Fitness field, but the lessons can apply to all! It’s much more than a list of “do’s and don’ts.” The contributors are very vulnerable and honest about mistakes they’ve made and how anyone can learn from their experiences. The challenges at the end of each chapter are awesome to get the wheels rolling and apply to your specific situation and goals.
This is a book that I’ll refer back to down the road. This is not a one and done!

Be Like the Best is extremely valuable. It really is an action plan at it’s finest! I bought it on a late night impulse buy recommended from Brett Bartholomew’s IG story and it turns out it’ll be something I’ll turn to for the rest of my life. You’re bound to find something in it that will push you forward. Read it many times and use it as the workbook it’s designed to be!!

“When I think of strength education leaders, Anthony Renna leaps to the top of the short list of people both willing and having a breadth of skills to guide today’s trainers in their work. For the past 10 years, we’ve watched as he consistently produced a wealth of quality material, with an underlying lesson of ‘Go for it!,’ perhaps the most important lesson of all.”
On Target Publications
“Anthony Renna is the quintessential curator of continuing education for the fitness and sports performance professional. Anthony has an uncanny knack for identifying the industry’s best, often before they are on anyone else’s radar. In his interviews, he asks the questions that we would ask (plus some ridiculously insightful ones we probably never would have thought of) thereby “mining the gold” that is their insights. Everything is delivered in a way that makes in information accessible and applicable to the rest of us. I’m really thrilled now that with the launch of Continue we’ll have all of his content in one place!”

“The Strength Coach Podcast is the best podcast out there covering the field of performance enhancement and strength & conditioning. I greatly appreciate the range of content offered on the show, as the topics discussed are always relevant and 100% current when it comes to what it takes to get the job done in the field today. Top experts in the field are frequent contributors to the show and Anthony Renna does an incredible job of organizing it all.”

“Strength Coach TV helped me think about the design and actual flow of the training in my gym. Without that knowledge I probably would have made a lot of mistakes that would have cost me thousands of dollars.”

“I love the 20 minute format of Stop & Give Me 20! Not a moment is wasted on small talk and Anthony gets right down to business with his guests, asking great questions, eliciting great responses! As a fitness pro I am always interested to hear what other professionals in my field are doing and why, and Anthony has already had some of the top people in the industry on his show sharing their ideas and next steps. LOVE IT!”

“As a coach its important to know the X’s and Os of training but as a gym owner it’s also important to gain a deeper understanding of the fitness industry and Strength Coach TV is a great resource for anyone looking to open up a space or is a current gym owner. Getting an inside look on how people in the real world run their gyms in invaluable. Its the next best thing to actually visiting these facility yourself.”

Welcome to CONTINUE
In 2007, I started The Strength Coach Podcast to try to reach strength and conditioning coaches, personal trainers and therapists all over the world and help them to decipher all of the information that was being thrown at them from every angle.
It quickly became one of the go-to resources that fitness professionals of all kinds couldn’t get enough of. It led me to becoming a partner in StrengthCoach.com and BodybyBoyleOnline.com, launch Strength Coach TV and 2 more podcasts, Stop & Give Me 20 and Tell Me About That Book.
It also led to my new book “Be Like the Best: A Guide to Reaching the Top in the Fitness Profession.”
Click here to learn more about the book.
At CONTINUE, I am putting everything under one umbrella in one neat package. If you are a fitness professional, strength and conditioning coach, personal trainer or therapist of any kind who is a life long learner and wants to continue to grow, continue your passion to help others and continue your dream to be part of something bigger than yourself, then you are in the right place.
The content here is all about helping you grow and become more successful.
Thanks!
Anthony
