    Honestly, the site needs a lot of work.

    It seems like you have a lot of really good information. Especially the Fitness Models. ;)

    Have you thought about hiring a designer?

    yeah, rob's right. when i look at a site for the first time (and this could be totally untrue but first impressions do mean a lot), design is definitely a top factor of whether I stay or go - especially when someone is an expert in a field (which you clearly seem to be). If you weren't asking for a review on this forum, I would have left that site in 2 seconds.

    it kinda looks like page generation software made it. the info is great though...i'd love to be a testimonial if I lived a little closer :D

    edit: ok, if you had this as the homepage, i may just stay a little longer;)

    Look out that female fitness model page may become your page with the highest PR :) jk I notice no Kelly Ryan ;)

    On a serious note,
    Design is something I would tackle ASAP. A site like this IMO needs to be CMS driven, I would rec. checking out Joomla

    Pair that up with a nice design and you have a clear winner, just watch out for hotlinking on that model's page ;)

    Ok I got it needs a lot of work, though but what kind of work

    be specific.. give me examples

    The site brings in a ton of cash, I understand not many tech's might not spend time on it though I have a ton of visitors each month and a ton of business though I'm always looking to improve.

    and make things better

    If it already brings in a ton of cash why do you want to change it?

    One thing you could change is the width. Its too wide and I can't see the right hand column of your site.

    Way too much information on one page. Is the point of all that information to cover every single search term? It leaves a reader feeling overwhelmed and unwilling to read more than a single sentence. Why not concentrate on the service you are offering. Have a summary on the home page and then if people want to read more they can click through to more detailed pages.

    too much stuff on the front page. You need to start over, you need to use css to format you page also.

    Great info on personal traning. However, I do agree with some of the other posts regarding the site design.

    The home page seems too cluttered. In my opinion it's too confusing to me. I wouldn't stty on this page for long. Because of this, I'm assuming if the design was cleaner, you would probably gain a lot more clients. I would hire someone to create a nice clean template for the entire site.

    The home page is too wide. I have to scroll across to see the right panel. Can you add those links to the rest of the links on the left hand side?

    There are some typos on the home page. For example, in this sentence "

    Welcome, and thank you for visiting Personal Power Training. Our Trainers are serving Arizona a,"

    Why is there an "a" after Arizona?

    Do post if and when you make any changes to the site. I'd love to see what it looks like after you've implemented some changes.
