WTF Gym Talk

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/

I've got a news flash for you. Just because you love your service, location or unique belief in fitness...doesn't mean everyone else will. Here's how I recommend thinking about the fact that your thing isn't going to be for everyone.

Lauren Rantala + Marc Howe might have been listening to my story and content for years prior to us ever meeting, but their story was one that hit me as hard as any conversation I've ever had on this podcast.  These two incredible humans are currently leading the charge of growing the HYROX affiliate community within the US and are the current (2022) World Champions in HYROX Doubles.     However, their story's start is one of addiction as they were wrestling with alcoholism while owning a gym.  After listening to our conversation, I highly recommend listening to this tell-all video they created that goes deep into their battle with addiction.

CrossFit HQ and Seminar Staff haven't always been my biggest fans.  So I'm always grateful when a CrossFit team member is willing to sit down and talk shop and we actually agree on the same things.  Jen Charlesworth is the co-founder of CrossFit Tuebor with her husband Andrew (whom I've also had on the show).  She's a CF Seminar Staff member and has a great perspective on how to grow as a coach and how to program for a complex, group class model practically.

In the product industry, we can return items that we changed our minds on.  Currently, very few companies are doing that in the service industry.  Here's how I would run that play.  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.
