ICYMI: Why Can't Coaches Grow on Trees?
We've pulled this episode out of the vault for you this week while we take a "Spring Break" from recording to find some joy outside the gym. We'll be back next Tuesday with a fresh episode!
Are you on the struggle bus when it comes to finding more coaches? You’re not alone.
Ah yes, the age old question: where do we find more coaches?! In this episode we talk about how times have changed from when the three of us first started out, some tips for recruiting new staff, and – most importantly – if coaches could grow on trees, what would that tree look like?!

So many great tips!
As a gym owner, I’m constantly getting ideas from this podcast. The tips they share are so thoughtful and relevant to our industry. Most importantly though, I know I’m going to laugh and feel like I’m not alone in the struggles of running a business. Thanks Tony, Sarah and Ali 💚🤸♀️💚
A Must Listen!!
I listen to Ali, Sarah, and Tony on my way to the gym every day! They have so much great insight on running FUN and successful gyms. I have already started implementing some of their ideas and my staff/gym is better for it!
They get it!
This trio of super fun gym pros are entertaining and engaging with their spot on topics. I can’t wait for each new episode to be released.
