The Power of Systems
"I wrote our kind of templates for training, right, in the hospital. And I created these little Microsoft Excel drop down menus and it really the power of systems," he said. "It's always stuck with me that I just as an awareness of like, did it someday the day got some fucking shitty news?"
When you reflect on life, it’s interesting to see how some people step in at exactly the right point in time.
As a young coach growing up, I didn’t have a lot of great mentors.
I knew I wanted to create content, I wanted to use speaking as an avenue to educate other trainers and coaches, and someday I wanted to own my own gym.
And these were awesome goals – but how should I actually go about DOING THIS?
Luckily for me Alwyn Cosgrove came into MY LIFE at just the right time, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Alwyn is the co-owner of Results Fitness in Santa Clarita, California—twice named one of the top 10 gyms in America by Men’s Health and Women’s Health magazines.
Alwyn and his wife Rachel are also owners of a fitness professional consulting company, Results Fitness University.
In this episode, Alwyn and I are going to touch on a ton of different topics – from professional mentorship, to owning your own business, to how fat loss training has evolved over the years.
If you pay attention, that’s not even what they say in the (Field of Dreams) movie. They say, “build it and HE will come” – as in his dad, who isn’t going to pay! – Alwyn Cosgrove
This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:
- Alwyn’s career in martial arts and how it propelled him into the fitness industry.
- How the “Butterfly Effect” has lead to so many big moments in his life.
- His first mentor, and why that made such a big impact for him in every aspect of his life.
- Why Alwyn opened a gym, and how he then realized being an independent contractor wasn’t so bad
- How fighting – and BEATING – cancer twice has shaped both his life and his business.
- The impact COVID had on owning and operating a gym, and what he’s changed as a result.
- Why the fat loss hierarchy was such an important article for our industry (even if it was published in 2007!)
- How he’s evolved his fat loss training and programs over the years to get even better results.
