Alex is a former gym owner who like many, was having a hard time actually making money. While his gyms were full, he couldn’t acquire, serve, and retain enough customers to be profitable.    Fast forward just a few years and this same guy had 6 gyms fully capped out and he was making 7 figures on each one.    Fast forward another few years and that same guy owns a $50M+ business that isn’t showing signs of stopping anytime soon.    How’d he do all that? Well, you’ll just have to listen!   ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-ep111 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.  Usually in the gym, but outside as well.
