WTF Gym Talk

You call yourself an entrepreneur, a visionary... You claim to be a problem solver and designer... Yet, in reality you just want someone to tell you exactly how to do it to be successful. Maybe you weren't meant to open your own gym? Maybe you should have just franchised some other guys dream?

An update podcast on a few things I've had going on, some news and awesome lineup of new podcast that will be dropping...

My new favorite quote and here's why...

Microgym owners talk about Facebook in two facets:   - they admit they know nothing - they think they know it all No doubt that a small percentage of my brethren know their shit when it comes to FB ads, but let's not pose... ...most of us are just headline readers.   We think because one guy has a conversion based ad that goes to a landing page for a 6 week challenge, that this is o...

Retail is one of the last pieces of the puzzle.  Plenty of more important elements of owning a microgym should be addressed before it - but once you've got a solid grasp on those, I do recommend putting some energy into this very viable revenue stream.

Head over to my YouTube channel and a Facebook business page to get the full video review of the torpedo.

My man Sean Pastuch, founder of Active Life Rx, came on the podcast to jam and we went down a rabbit hole of creating a social media presence that will not only make you money, but help with your hyperlocal virality + how to start thinking of your social media strategy at a higher level. 

So last time I had Joe Tebaldi on the podcast, it got rave reviews. So we're gonna do it on the reg.   Buckle up kids.

Yeah, I fucking said it. 

Jammin' with the owners of Fortitude Fitness regarding adding class times - when to add classes? - should the demand be there already? - what if we're losing people because we don't off that particular class time? ...and more.

I don't talk much about programming because it can be such a polarizing topic in microgym scene, especially for CrossFit affiliates. But had JJ on the podcast to discuss programming and dive deep into the competitive nature of microgyms. 

I've been asked before, "Who is your hero?" ...my dad? ...God? ...Phil Dawson? It's none of those. 

This was an awesome conversation I had with a group of select microgym owners on a variety of different topics - it's 60 min of solid nuggets...enjoy.

Had an instructor of the brand new F45 come in and take a class at my gym today. Awesome experience chatting with her for a few minutes and it lead me to this rant.

Clickbait is marketing. Marketing is clickbait.

This is not a podcast about nutrition. It's a podcast about how a technician in the fitness/health industry started his own company, is learning how to scale and how he navigated from conception of his business to reality. Whether your personal trainer or nutritionist, this episode will be immensely valuable.

Featuring Joe Tebaldi, owner of FLEXX. You know that feeling when your calendar suddely went from being jam packed to being wide open...and you don't even know what to do with your hands... Well you call your buddy Joe (who is also coincidentally available) and you tell him to come over and drink whiskey and jam on a podcast with you. On this one, we hit on CRMs + Marketing, YouTube and social med...

Far too often we are afraid to limit our marketing message to a small subset. We try to appeal to everyone. Big mistake.

Here’s my personal and biz goal for 2019 and one that I hope you adopt as well...

Just listen

Today, at 10:30 AM Eastern, a new video drops on my YouTube channel. This podcast is the precursor to my discovery that an individual had completely stolen my gym concept. You are not gonna want to miss this.

If you're feeling burnt out or jaded because you're overworked and underpaid - then please take my advice during this holiday season.

Fear. It's real. But when you really analyze it and when/where it pops up...it can be very telling as to what you NEED to be doing. Fear is more of an indicator sometimes in business than it is a chemical process. Give this one a listen and let me know... What are you afraid of in your business right now???

CrossFit Tuff sent over a great series of questions a while back and I completely blanked on getting back to them....so here it is. "How do I maximize my space/efficiency when running multiple programs at once?"

Brand new, weekly, long form content will now be available only on YouTube. It can be cut into podcast audio because of the over the top visual nature of those videos, so get over to YouTube and subscribe!
