WTF Gym Talk

When Lindsey Jenks sold her CrossFit gyms back in the day, she wasn't sure what the next steps would be. She had success running a nutrition coaching business while she was a gym owner, so decided to lean into that. When scaling the model became an issue, she took the $5,000 she had and invested it back into the business to see if she could grow this into a real business. As you have already guessed, she did...very successfully. Macrostax was born and quickly grew to over a $1,000,000 in ARR. Today, the company has over 200,000 subscribers and has added a B2B vertical that is growing rapidly.
