Another month passed. Traffic and forum usage continue to increase steadily. This puts additional stress on the server which sometimes can’t handle all the requests. As a result the blog & forum were inaccessible several times.

While it’s a high quality problem, it remains a problem. So know that Sean is helping me tweaking everything. The long-term solution is to switch server. Meanwhile, if the site goes down: try again later.

You can discuss blog posts in the article section. I’m committed to answer your questions, even if they’re controversial. I’m open minded and don’t pretend to know everything. Please join the convo with the same mindset.

Fitness Coaching: Last Chance. I won’t accept new applications anymore after Tuesday June 30th 2009 at 1pm EDT. This means you have 2 days left to apply to my fitness coaching program.

I’m closing the coaching because I’ll be vagabonding in August/September. So if you apply now, you’ll get 1 month of coaching max. This is enough to show you what you’re doing wrong and what you should do to get the results you want.

I don’t know yet if I’ll resume the fitness coaching when I get back. I do know that the price has increased and that since the site keeps growing and I can’t keep up with the demand, it will keep increasing.

I’m obviously pushing you to take action. But that’s because I’m confident that whatever your problem is, I can help. To read the details of my fitness coaching program and how to apply, click here now.
