Strength Sensei: Running a Lean Membership Site With No LMS, Memberium and bbPress

In this episode of the Memberium Customer Spotlight series, Scott Macon the CEO of Macon Solutions, walks us through how the late Charles Poliquin’s membership site, StrengthSenseiInc.com, is built with Memberium and bbPress.

This site walkthrough is a great example how you can run a simple, successful membership site without using any learning management (LMS) plugin, a minimal number of other plugins and Infusionsoft.

Scott previously worked for Hewlett Packard as a Storage Area Network administrator for 10 years. He joined Charles’ team a few years ago as the IT expert for Strength Sensei and has managed all of the Infusionsoft implementation for Strength Sensei since then.
Charles Poliquin was one of the world’s most renowned strength coaches on the planet. He had trained over 400 Olympic medalists in his lifetime. At strengthsensei.com he trained members from all around the world on how to improve their strength and overall fitness.
