Yoga and spin studios may be boring to you with their singular modality offering, but from a business perspective, they are fascinating. They are the originator of the "in-place" model - a group class style in which participants get set up in a certain spot, with specific equipment and never leave until the end of class. Compared to the chaotic, less profitable versions of HIIT and CrossFit-style group classes we see today - you may want to reimagine your class flow.

Gabriel Sandoval is the owner of CrossFit MOB - a gym he was able to purchase from the previous owner and turn into a profitable business. One of Gabriel's entrepreneurial superpowers exists in creating a culture where members not only consistently purchase retail (especially his SFH supplement line), but he's also able to manage inventory and pricing to stay as profitable as possible with a fickle revenue stream.

My good friend and colleague, Dr. Sean Pastuch - founder of Active Life, is taking another stab at brick and mortar ownership. Sean used to own a brick + mortar gym before Hurricane Sandy destroyed his location. He then spent the next several years growing a multi-million dollar online company with Active Life. Now he has re-envisioned what he believes a fitness facility should look, feel and act like. https://activelifelongbeach.com/ Would you like to be able to hit me up during the day and ask questions about solving problems in your business?  Good news - you can.   I work with up to 40 gym owners per month where we communicate DAILY and have a scheduled monthly call.   My goal is to help you during tough times of your business and then to GET FIRED.  I want you to be self-sustaining and not in need of constant business coaching.  So when our work is done, I look forward to you firing me.  If this interests you, check this out.  Questions?  Shoot me a DM on Instagram @wtfgymtalk  —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to increase your business IQ by 100x for only $50?  Get enrolled in Microgym University - the only online business school that teaches you the best practices and business frameworks from some of the most successful brands in our industry and then lets you decide which ones to install in your business.

Todd Wise is an experienced coach and gym owner of The Pack in Rochester, NY. One of his niche areas of expertise lies in creating competitors' programs within a gym. I'm not a huge fan of competitor programs within the average microgram , so Todd and I decided to hash it out on the podcast. https://thepack.fit/
