WTF Gym Talk

Excited to make the official announcement that I'll be working with MADabolic HQ to help them find individuals who are looking to grow their own fitness portfolio or open their first location and are seriously considering a MADabolic franchise.  I'll be able to provide an unbiased opinion and provide you the entry-level information you're probably wondering as it relates to opening a franchise. 

Learn why being a part-time owner of a gym can be advantageous, including the ability to reinvest revenue, focus on growth, and hire full-time employees. The importance of incubating oneself and creating systems is also discussed, along with the benefits of choosing different roles within the company.

Recently, I've been making more content regarding fitness - not business. Specifically, how I've tweaked the Tempo Training programming model we created at Urban MVMNT and have designed it for my own use. Well, apparently there are some owners out there that believe my public discord regarding an alternative way to fitness is a direct threat to them. Here's what I have to say about that. 

Today, I have the team from BGW Wealth Mangaement (Charlotte, NC) in studio for an awesome conversation around how to get started with a wealth strategy for microgym owners.  The found, Ben McDonald, is also a microgym owner of CrossFit Huntersville. The COO, Dan Territor, is a veteran microgym customer who understands the industry and the struggles that owners are experiencing. Take notes on this one, kids.  www.bgwwealth.com @benmcdonaldnc @dterrito

I recently made a post on Instagram that got some negative feedback. Shocker. Well one of the individuals who were critical of my viewpoint, Brian Costello - the founder of O23 Holistic Systems - was dope enough to come on the podcast to riff back and forth as to why he disagreed with my stance. Enjoy.  https://www.o23coach.com @o23_holistic_systems 

Joe Gigantino Jr. has an interesting career in the fitness industry.   From operating health clubs to opening his own and then venturing into the commercial real estate side of the business. Additionally, he started his own equipment retail company Weights And Bars to further complement his vast experience in the fitness scene. But it's his one company's mission that I'm very interested in - WeBuyGymRealEstate.com Enjoy! @weightsandbars

When should you abandon your current business model and switch it up? How should you know whether your current thing needs to completely change, or just do better? I've got some ideas. 

With the insane increase in content being created from absolutely everyone - from grandmas to gurus - it's time that we as an industry created higher standards for our trainers to advertise themselves..., not us, the but themselves...which will, in turn, benefit the business as long as you create a work environment, compensation and fulfillment level that satisfies them.

A sidestep from the typical business content, I thought it would be cool to share with you how I'm currently training using a version of Tempo Training that we created at Urban MVMNT.  As a 36 year old who simply wants to look good naked and has grown disenchanted with a typical HIIT/CrossFit style workout - maybe this will interest you.
