Consultations: What to expect and how it works
Wondering if you could benefit from a consultation with Clarence? Read what people say about their experience by phone and in person:
Please thank Clarence for me. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to
him on the phone. It has helped me enormously. All of a sudden my thinking about training and
diet has become so much clearer. The consultation fee is the best money I have
ever spent on training. His insight is so logical and quite simple. I think the
problem is the fitness industry has become over complicated. I cannot thank Clarence
enough. David
Clarence,
I am taking the liberty of writing, not only to express my thanks for your advice,
but, as important, the way and manner you conducted yourself during my consultation. If only more people
realized the gold mine of information which is available to them.
I have been an active weight trainer for some forty years, and hope to carry on
for another forty. Although improvement was tremendous both in physique and
strength, I found it impossible to get that RIPPED look which had always been my goal (without the use of steroids).
I found your advice extremely useful.
Actually, that's an understatement. I recommend that anyone who needs assistance
contact you.
After the consultation, I immediately changed my diet and training routine as you suggested. Though its only been a short time
since our discussion, its effects can already be seen. I’m seeing striations in my muscles which have never been there before.
I am so excited about this that I want to shout out for all to hear.
Once again, thank you most sincerely,
Simon Kesler
Scheduling is easy:
It's helpful (but not required) to read at least one of Clarence's books before setting up a consultation. We recommend Lean For Life and/or Great Expectations. However, any of our books will help make your consultation more productive. You'll have the basic information and Clarence can concentrate on your individual needs and concerns.
Then we'll need information about you. Tell us about your goals and the problems you're having. In addition, we'll need background information such as age, weight, training experience, medical problems, current diet and training program. This information allows Clarence to prepare beforehand. The more detail you give, within reason, the more productive the consultation is likely to be. Be sure to highlight the areas where you need help; be as specific as you can about your problems and areas of concern.
Call when you're ready. We'll answer your questions and schedule your consultation.
Telephone consultations are $150.00. There is no time limit, but most phone consults take about an hour. You pay for the long distance call. Consulting by telephone allows you to ask questions; the give and take makes the consultation more helpful.
You can also come to Albuquerque for a one or two day consultation. Most people arrive the night before and get settled down at a hotel near our home and office/gym. The next day (or two) is spent enjoying Ripped meals with Clarence, learning calorie control techniques and proper food selection, discussing your diet, training, and motivation problems--whatever is necessary to help you achieve your goals.
The day-long consultation is $750.00 ($675 each for two people) + New Mexico sales tax. Stay for two days, and workout with Clarence: $1,250 ($1,125 each for two people) + NM sales tax. If your schedule allows, we'll take you to our favorite Mexican restaurant in the evening.
Still undecided? Read the reflections of Dr. Kevin Fontaine and his 16-year-old son Joshua: Surpassing Great Expectations: Our Weekend with Carol and Clarence Bass: This past July (2009), my son Joshua and I (see Success Stories 10 & 11) made our way to Albuquerque to spend the weekend with Carol and Clarence Bass. Joshua was about as excited as he could be because he’d read most of Clarence’s books and now he was going to meet “Mr. Ripped” in the flesh. What I found most gratifying was that Clarence seemed as excited as Joshua. They hit it off right away. From the moment Clarence asked, “How much are you weighing these days?” Joshua knew he was in for a weekend filled with advice, instruction, and information; information that he could never get from a book or from his old man. Imagine, spending time with someone who has over 50 years of experience managing training and dietary practices to produce optimal results! That, coupled with Clarence’s encyclopedic knowledge of bodybuilding and its history, made for an incredible, once in a lifetime experience. Read More
Come for a New Mexico vacation and do a consultation while you're here: Experience our southwest culture with its Indian and Spanish influences (Santa Fe is only 60 miles to the north). The Spanish Market www.spanishmarket.org (usually in July) and the Indian Market (usually in August) are both in Santa Fe.
Or attend the annual International Balloon Fiesta held each fall in October in Albuquerque (www.balloonfiesta.com), visit old town www.albuquerqueoldtown.com , take a trip on the world's longest aerial tramway (2.7 miles) to Sandia Peak www.sandiapeak.com , or take in a minor league baseball game with the Albuquerque Isotopes www.albuquerquebaseball.com . Or go further up north (135 miles) and visit quaint Taos known for its art and nearby skiing in the winter. If you are a wildlife enthusiast, you can drive south from Albuquerque one hour in the autumn and see tens of thousands of birds which gather at the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge http://www.fws.gov/southwest/refuges/newmex/bosque/ .
From opera buffs (Santa Fe Opera www.santafeopera.org - normally June through August) to those looking for a great skiing vacation or a unique cultural experience, New Mexico has it all. Come once and you'll want to visit again and again!
