Shoot The Shit | Stephen Hitt
Stephen Hitt is the owner of Industrious in Seattle, WA. A longtime CrossFit affiliate who opted to rebrand during 2020 due to this climate of change occurring within CrossFit HQs leadership ranks. However, it was the role of social distancing and COVID protocols that provided Industrious the opportunity to overhaul its class flow into a "pick a spot" model popularized by yoga and spin.
Branded as "Halos", each Halo provides every member in class with their own 169 sqft spot that comes equipped with their own ergs, squat rack, weights, pullup bar, bench, plyo boxes, and more. This new class flow has taken off within their two locations in the greater Seattle area and has ignited a franchise opportunity that is rapidly catching momentum.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Stephen Hitt.

Your New HR Policy: Always Be Interviewing
For the average microgym, I typically recommend a rather unique approach to recruiting and interviewing. This approach ensures that you'll always have fresh applicants on deck when unexpected staff turnover occurs.

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.

Successful Microgym Adds MADabolic To It's Portfolio w/ Adam Lane
Once you find success with your microgym, what's next?
You can continue to ensure it remains cash flow positive and invest/save it for your future.
That's a good option, but it takes 30+ years for compounding interest to really add up.
You can try to create multiple versions of your own microgym, but as many owners will tell you, lightning is probably not going to strike twice.
Or you can do what Adam Lane did and add a franchise brand to his already successful fitness portfolio.

Customer Reviews
Way More Helpful Than the $350/month fitness mastermind group I was in!
Have been listing to podcast for several months and enrolled in MicroGyM University recently. Way more valuable than the $350 a month mastermind I was in. Our two personal training studios are benefiting greatly from Stu’s content.
He’s been there. Experienced it. And knows his stuff.
Solid podcast! Not only does he know his stuff, but it’s also crazy entertaining. Keep crushing it.
Great gems and reminder for your biz!
I have been listening to this podcast for a while, and I’ve been slowly adding these gems to my current business. He definitely knows what he’s talking about, and love his no-nonsense attitude!! Thanks Stu for all the work you do!
