Twelve years in, Ian Stevenson has nearly quit the gym-ownership game plenty of times, but he's now got it to a point where it runs without him.
In this episode, we dig into how he's done it and a few of the key changes he's made + lessons he's learned: 45-minute sessions that start at 5:30 a.m., the mentality needed to run a gym, a simple group offer, pods for every member, pricing that stays accessible, and referral loops that quietly compound.
Ian's story isn't one about making massive money from his gym, it's about building solid systems, unbelievable stories about his journey, and a business model that fits real life. If you want to open a gym without losing your soul, this is a great episode.
