Most studio owners decide to open their fitness and wellness businesses because they want to help people and add more meaning into their lives.
Their heart is in the right place, but scaling a profitable business that feels incredible to own and run is trickier than ever before. So where they get stuck is no one has ever shown them how to run a wildly successful business, without the overwhelm and chaos.
Plus, they’re doing it all alone.
Until now.
Welcome to The Geronimo Unfiltered Podcast for ambitious boutique studio owners who are allergic to average and know they’re capable of more. They’re just missing the HOW.
I’m your host Doza, CEO and Founder of The Geronimo Academy... And together with my crew and my community of owners and managers who are the doers and the implementers, we are on a mission to pioneer a better way to own and operate a health and fitness business, while building a life you love, not hate.
So, if you’re ready to push your boundaries, level up your money, meaning and impact & stop doing it all alone… then you’re in the right place ...
This is going to be raw and unfiltered, zero b******t.
So take a deep breath, strap yourself in, and let’s get started.

Member Already Cancelled? This is what you need to do.
What do you do when a member cancels their subscription?
Do you a) put through the cancellation and move on with your life OR b) are you willing to give this tactic a go that might just get them to stay?
Team, we’re coming into a new season and we all know what that means - cancellations begin to rise as motivation dips.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. We have a powerful FORMULA that not only has the power to change their minds, BUT even if they do - you’ll be able to replace them instantly.
And it ALL happens in the Exit Interview.
You’ll hear:
THE Exit Interview script (spoiler: it’s a gamechanger)
The most powerful question you can ask that 9 times out of 10 will save the cancellation
The secret offer that will bring them back in 3 months and cost you NOTHING!
The real reason why people aren’t ever going to re-sign with your gym…

How to Bring a Member BACK from the Brink of Cancellation
Are you ready to enrich more lives, increase your member base, reduce your cancels and increase the lifetime value of each member?
It’s time to curate the community at your gym because news flash, just because you own a gym… doesn't mean you have a community. You just have members.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to differentiate your GYM from the one across the road. We’re breaking down the 5 types of members you have in your studio right now, how to identify them and how to get them MORE involved in your studio. And of course, we have a storytime about when we had to kick members OUT of the studio and cancel their memberships.
You’ll hear:
The group of members in your gym that are at the HIGHEST risk of cancelling without warning (these NEED to be on your radar asap)
How to kick members out of your studio without creating a fuss
Why cancelling someone’s membership can SAVE you from the annoying as f*ck members who will try to get a refund out of you
The text messages we sent to members to guarantee they would be back
… and a whole lot more

The Team Handbook: What It Is and WHY Your Studio Needs It
There is only ONE document that is going to ALIGN your team and BOOST team culture.
It’s the Team Handbook.
I’ve spoken about the Team Handbook before on the pod but Soph and I have never gone into detail about EXACTLY what is in it, and how it helped take our studio from good to #1 in the area.
This handbook is your key to:
Aligning your team: Get everyone on the same page, ensuring consistency across ALL trainer sessions.
Boosting team culture: Build a team that cares about the studio just as much as you do.
Creating accountability: Empower your trainers and hold them to the Handbook standards.
You’ll hear:
What’s on the FIRST PAGE of our handbook (this is the exact inspo you need to get started… no more getting stuck on where to begin)
Prompts to craft YOUR unique mission statement
The page that will make your team start WANTING to take accountability
… and a whole lot more
And what’s even better? If you write up a draft handbook in the next 30 days… I’ll give you feedback for free. Message me at @hey.doza.
If you need some inspiration, grab our Handbook framework here.
