Alloy Personal Training Business Stories That Define Alloy
In this episode, Rick Mayo shares how his business has managed to create a thriving, close-knit community while scaling up to hundreds of locations. Rick was interviewed on the Dynamic Disruption Podcast, where he dives into Alloy’s approach to building relationships, simplifying operations, and putting human connections at the heart of fitness.
Starting in 1992, Rick explains how his Alloy stands out by focusing on personal, one-on-one interactions instead of the typical crowded gym experience.
It’s not just about the workouts, but also about understanding people’s life challenges and tailoring fitness to meet those needs.
