I was looking forward to having a conversation with Kyle as someone who’s been there, done that and still doing it, and a coach that went from fully booked, to leading and educating, then starting his own companies.
Kyle is the owner of Compound Performance and the Compound App. He has 17+ years of experience working in the fitness industry coaching 20,000+ sessions, 10 years of experience in leadership positions overseeing all levels of management from individual facilities to national level positions, and 5 years of experience in entrepreneurship launching two business’s that have provided thousands of clients with growth focused solutions.
