    The NEW Way To Get Your Gym Ranked #1 On Google In 2025

    Want To Grow Your Gym? Go Here: https://biglittlegyms.com/ I just did a deep dive into how to get your Gym to the TOP of Google in 2025. 🚀 If your gym isn't ranking #1 or at least near the top of Google, you're missing out on a steady stream of high-quality leads. Most gym owners are still relying on outdated SEO tactics that just don't work anymore. Or they're relying too much on paid traffic. Google has changed, and if you're not adapting, you're getting left behind.  So I put together a step-by-step breakdown of what's working NOW, including: ✅ The 5 key factors Google actually uses to rank gyms ✅ The biggest mistake that's hurting your rankings (and how to fix it) ✅ Why your Google Business Profile matters more than ever ✅ How to turn website visitors into actual paying members ✅ The exact process I use to help gyms dominate local search You'd be wise, if you own a gym, to check it out and take action.

    Cultivating Fearlessness with Peter Scott - 175

    Some fear is great because it keeps us alive. Are you afraid of making a left turn out into traffic when there's not an opening? Good. Don't die. Other fears, while they feel exactly the same in our bodies, are less useful. Are you afraid of sales conversations with prospects? Or of public speaking? Or of raising your membership prices? Yeah? We need to talk about that. This week, we met up with Peter Scott of Fearless Life Experience to talk about the fears that stand in our way and how to conquer them. A former investment banker, Peter shares his personal story about how fear got him into a career that he found to be empty and unhealthy. Once he recognized that fear was his primary motivation and saw the ruinous path he was on, he changed course and transformed his life. Now he coaches other entrepreneurs on fearless living, which leads not only to a life that's more fulfilling but a business that's more profitable. By confronting fears head-on, Peter takes us through the small and big things we can do to transform our fears (which may manifest as stress, anxiety, or worry) into confidence. Listen in to discover what might be waiting for you on the other side of your fear breakthrough. On This Week's Episode of Barbell Business, We Interview Peter Scott to Discuss: The difference between rational and irrational fear How competence leads to confidence The personal and business benefits of a fearless life How to confront fear and transform it into confidence
