    How to Go From 2-3 Leads a Week to 2-3 Leads a Day

    Are your leads a problem?

    Do you either have not enough of them OR the ones you have are rubbish quality? 

    Today I’m going to be talking to you about how to fix this, and the reason I’m doing THIS particular episode and giving you everything you need to fix it (for free) is because in FB Groups lately the only posts I’m seeing are people shutting down OR people getting ripped off by their ads agencies and STILL having lead issues, so I want to do something about it. 

    When we look at people’s accounts there are usually 3 things that we see straight away that are the key reason things aren’t working, the best news about these three things. They’re pretty easy to fix (in fact you can do it within 7 days) AND I’m going to give you the step by step on how. 

    You’ll hear: 

    How to tell if you’re currently wasting money on your ads 

    Why you keep getting terrible leads, and how to fix it

    How you can get MORE of your perfect members who actually want to pay you money

    The questions your ad agency needs to be able to answer 

    … and a whole lot more 

    If you want to get rid of your ads agency and get access to what we KNOW is working right now in the industry, all of the templates, scripts and support you need to not only generate 2-3 leads a DAY but also know how to convert them join the academy here for $100 a week.

    Be quick as prices will go up, If you’re not sure if this is your right next step or if you have a lead problem reach out at @hey.doza

    Are Gyms Still Making Money?

    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

    … and a whole lot more

    How They Did It: Alex & Alita from Soul Fit’s 18 Year Success Story

    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 

    Want to learn more about Soul Fit? Check out their IG @soulfitwoonona or over on Facebook and their website https://soulfitwoonona.com/

    In this episode, we mentioned our mindset episodes with NLP Coach Kylie Ryan. Check out Part One and Part Two to learn more about what might be holding you back.
