Nick Melnyk took a chance in college and attended his first cycling class at the school's rec center. Monica the instructor, and bikes that go nowhere awakened his love of movement and nothing was ever the same after that.He began teaching various fitness formats and during his last college year heard about a new boutique studio opening and he applied to be front desk and instructor. It just so happened to be the very first CycleBar. Nick immediately fell in love with the community and after graduating in 2015 he joined the original CycleBar Franchising corporate team, taking the brand from 3 locations to the international brand it is today.As a FitPro Nick made his mark in the Cincinnati fitness scene as what was known as a CycleStar in those days, at Shred415 and other local studios.His experience both as a FitPro and working in Operations as he helped others open studios across the country gave him unique insight into the do's and don'ts of studio ownership.He knew early on that being an instructor would never be enough and studio ownership was his destiny. From investors, to partnerships that dissolved, to the increasingly high costs of opening a studio Nick was derailed from his dream time and time again but he did not give up. In February of 2023 Nyxx Studio opened in the community that raised this resilient FitPro. They offer rhythm based cycling classes and strength classes coming Spring 2024. This handsome redhead will take his Venti Black Iced Coffee with extra ice and he will help you FUCK IT UP when you walk through his studio doors.It is an honor to welcome Nick Melnyk to the Creating The 4% Podcast this week!Learn more about NYXX Cycle + Strength:https://nyxx-cyclestrength.com/Connect with Nick & Studio on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nyxx_cyclestrength/https://www.instagram.com/nmariomel/?hl=en

James FitzGerald was the first-ever men's champion at the CrossFit Games back in 2007, and since then he's built a reputation as one of the fitness industry's most thoughtful and prolific coaches.The long term concept of his philosophy is to have people learn so that they never have to see you the fitness coach ever again. A controversial and very polarizing statement that you don't often hear in Fitness these days.As the Founder of OPEX Fitness, James has dedicated his life to bringing honor to the coaching profession. The OPEX Coaching Certificate Program (CCP) reflects his 25 plus years of coaching expertise and is set apart by providing comprehensive coaching theory as well as practical application of its principles.He has revolutionized personalized fitness through education both digitally and in person.It is an absolute honor to have James FitzGerald open Season 2 with Episode 21. Some of the concepts & ideas we discuss will be hard for all of us to hear. It was hard for me, but I am really proud of this episode and this conversation. Change isn't easy as a FIT PRO and James will challenge everything you think you know about Fitness.I have never wanted to invite people on the podcast who will just agree with me. I invited James to come on because his ideas allow me to think about the work we do as Fit Pros differently. I hope you will listen and share your feedback with me on instagram! DMs are always open.Connect with OPEX Fitness here:https://www.opexfit.com/https://www.instagram.com/opexfitness/

In 2008 she opened her first high energy pilates studio and by 2009 she was using her credit cards to buy the reformers needed to open her second studio with only $217 left in her bank account.But as her business grew Amy knew the traditional reformer machine was missing essential elements she wanted to incorporate in her classes. Fueled by her continued study of traditional Pilates and the desire to share wellness through movement far and wide, inspiration struck and in 2010, she sketched the now-patented WundaFormer, and envisioned WundaBar Pilates which currently has 10 studio locations in CA, NY and NJ.In 2017, Amy translated the in-studio experience on the WundaFormer to a repertoire that can be done on the mat, extending the reach and benefits of the WundaBar Pilates Method beyond the studio walls with WundaBar On Demand.In the middle of the Pandemic, this Pilates visionary and proud mother of two, received devastating news and was diagnosed with a Rare aggressive cervical cancer.Amy Jordan's guiding belief when it comes to wellness is that You are perfect wherever you are today, and her goal is to empower you to have the best experience in your own skin!Featured on the today show, livestrong.com, shape magazine, forbes, pop sugar, well + good to name a few, it is an honor to welcome Amy Jordan to creating the 4% podcast on this FINAL EPISODE OF SEASON 1!Don't forget to leave a review of the podcast on spotify & apple podcasts!Learn more about our guest:https://www.instagram.com/amyjordanofficial/https://www.wundabar.com/https://www.instagram.com/wundabarpilates/Check out Amy's Newest Invention: WUNDACOREhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wundacore/wundacore-resistance-ringhttps://wundacore.com/
