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.

Are Gyms Still Making Money?
“Is it profitable to own a gym in 2024?”
“Is a gym a good business to start?”
“Is the fitness industry growing?”
These are some of the MOST searched questions on Google about gyms and their profitability.
The reality is… YES. Gym owners ARE making money right now and YES it can be profitable. The fitness industry is valued at around $244 billion and is expanding at a rate of 5% to 10% PER year.
“Okay, but those gym owners are just LUCKY.”
That’s where you’re wrong. They’re not lucky, they’re not mythical creatures, and it's certainly not due because of the network they’re a part of.
They’ve put in the work. They’ve stopped blaming external circumstances and put PROCESSES into place so that they can GROW their business.
In this episode, I’m diving deep into how successful the fitness industry can be IF you can only think and work like a BUSINESS OWNER.
You’ll hear:
Stats that PROVE the profitability of the fitness industry
The net margin that you can EASILY reach in your studio
What the SUCCESSFUL studios are doing that sets them apart from their competition
Why you’re earning money but your studio has STOPPED growing

How They Did It: Alex & Alita from Soul Fit’s 18 Year Success Story
On today’s podcast, we are introducing a brand new series, where we interview REAL gym owners with the focus of bringing their stories and experiences to the pod so that you can know EXACTLY what is possible for you.
Kicking off this series is the dynamic duo Alex and Alita who have owned Soul Fit for an impressive 18 YEARS. Alex and Alita have curated a studio with an incredible bond, so much so that when their gym flooded a few weekends ago, members immediately drove down to the space to help clean up the studio.
They know all of their members INDIVIDUALLY and yet are still in a position to be able to work 4x days a week, and they aim to reduce that even further. How did they achieve this balance, and what lessons can you learn from their success?
Tune in to find out.
You’ll hear:
How they created incredible relationships with their members
The motivation that has kept them going for 18 YEARS
The steps they took to get OUT of the dark moments in their business and get back on their feet
Why the size of your studio will impact your business in ways you haven’t considered
How they were able to get their TIME back and reduce their hours in the business
… and a whole lot more

Creating a Superstar Trainer That BOOKS Out Classes with Pete Day
Studios constantly tell us that their group sessions are a massive “vibe”.
But if you don’t have any way to quantify the quality of their sessions… how do you know if your trainers are ACTUALLY creating a community in your studio rather than just wandering around with an iPad?
The studios that don’t know, are the same studios going broke.
We say it time and time again… your members don’t give a shit about your ski erg. Most of them don’t really care about your program either. What they DO care about - is being part of a community. And the BEST way to do this, is to have trainers that are actively building relationships with the members because then guess what?
They’ll keep coming back.
But how do you implement this? Joining me on today’s poddy is the one and only Pete Day.
Pete Day (PD or Pedro to some) is known for being a 3x time F45 Playoffs Fitness Competition Champion and World Record Holder AND owning two of the most successful F45 gyms in Sydney.
Suffice it to say, he knows his stuff.
Join us as we talk about how to get your trainers NAILING their group sessions, how you can measure the success of your trainer's programs AND the most common problems members face at studios so you can make sure you’re not part of the problem.
You’ll also hear:
The 3 pillars that will transform your ‘good’ trainer into one that people LOOK FORWARD to training with
How to get the member who HATES feedback to engage in your classes
How to create ‘coachable experiences’ that will stay with your members for a LIFETIME
… and a whole lot more
Download our 5* Trainer Scorecard and get those trainers to memorable status ASAP.
