    Converting An Auto Body Shop Into A Gym w/ Industrious Cincinnati

    Through The Gym Real Estate Company, I had the pleasure of working with Christian Bonatto, the owner of an Industrious franchise in Cincinnati, Ohio. We were successful in securing an amazing location that was a former auto body shop, with on-site parking, insane visibility, and dual-sided roll-up bay doors. A gym owner's dream. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Christian, the founder of Industrious, Stephen Hitt, and I as we discuss the wins and challenges of opening up his first location. —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I solve problems in your business and make you more money.  Guaranteed.  For over a decade, I’ve been working with gym owners (via one-on-one consulting) to help create tailored solutions to solve their business problems, engineer the game plan and empower them to execute the strategy. Stop wishing your business problems are going to magically go away.   Invest in your business and let me solve your problems and optimize your business fast and efficiently.  We’ll work together daily/weekly, with a monthly call until the problem is solved and then I want you to fire me.  Because this is YOUR business, I’m just here to solve a specific problem and then get out of your way. ⁠⁠Learn more about what it’s like for us to work together.⁠⁠ —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to increase your business IQ by 100x for only $50?  Get enrolled in Microgym University - the only online business school that teaches you the best practices and business frameworks from some of the most successful brands in our industry, and then lets you decide which ones to install in your business. New courses are added every month.  ⁠⁠⁠www.microgymuniversity.com⁠⁠⁠  —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Need help leasing or buying a building? I created the Gym Real Estate Company so that gym owners had someone who could go beyond the duties of a typical real estate broker and actually advise them on business aspects as they relate to site selection, market location fit, operational capacity, facility layout, pre-sell marketing, and more. If you’re looking for help with your next lease or if you want us to help you along the journey of buying a building -⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠head over to www.gymrealestate.co and book a Discovery Call.⁠⁠ —--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Relocating 800 Member Gym with Pratt Personal Training

    Pratt Personal Training's flagship location in Martinsville, New Jersey, had over 800 members and did over $250,000 per month in revenue. The business was operationally sound, but its future at this location was quickly jeopardized when it was forced to relocate. Luckily, James Pratt, the founder of Pratt Personal Training and The Gym Real Estate Company, had worked together on other sites, so he knew exactly where to turn. In the world of semi-private personal training, James Pratt is an absolute unicorn, and I hope you enjoy the conversation. —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I solve problems in your business and make you more money.  Guaranteed.  For over a decade, I’ve been working with gym owners (via one-on-one consulting) to help create tailored solutions to solve their business problems, engineer the game plan,n and empower them to execute the strategy.

    Community Needs Communication w/ David Rafuse and Train With Us

    If you've ever worked hard to create multiple different social and event-driven opportunities for your clients to come together outside the gym, one of the problems you may have also run into is ensuring that communication is seamless and not overbearing amongst all the other communication that members receive on a regular basis.
