Get ahead of the chaos—book your call now: https://calendly.com/spf-leo/spf-mastermind-discovery-call What's up, guys—Uncle Vinny here.I'm back behind the mic after some travel and life stuff… but this one's important.We're diving into two big topics today: tariffs and retention—and how both are about to smack gym owners right in the face if you're not paying attention. I break down what I've learned from some seriously smart finance people (not from watching the news), and explain how this stuff could affect your clients and your business.But most importantly—I'm sharing exactly what we did at Gabriele Fitness to drop our attrition rate to 1.5%. That's the lowest it's ever been. I'm talking real strategies, real results—no fluff. If you're trying to keep your members happy, showing up, and not canceling, you'll want to hear this one. Top 5 Key PointsFocus on What You Can Actually ControlYou can't control the economy, politics, or what China does. But you can control your fitness, your food, your time, your team—and how hard you work. Do that.Fear is in the Air—That Affects SpendingTariffs are creating uncertainty, and uncertainty makes people think twice before spending money. If your clients feel unsure, your gym could end up on the chopping block—unless you show them you're worth every penny.Keep What You've GotWhen it gets harder to bring in new leads, your best bet is to double down on the clients you already have. Our motto: Operation: Don't Lose Anybody. That's how we cut attrition to 1.5%.Add Real Value (Not More Sessions)Personalization, connection, and community win. Automated birthday emails don't cut it. We did stuff like personalized holiday videos and ran an epic March Madness event just for members. That's what people actually care about.Don't Be Afraid to Lead HardWhen someone tries to cancel or go on hold, challenge them. Remind them why they started. People are secretly begging to be led—especially in times like these. Be the leader they're looking for. Want a fresh set of eyes on your business?

Ready to stay ahead in this shifting, tariff-driven climate? Book your complimentary strategy call today and let's map out a game plan for growth: https://calendly.com/spf-leo/spf-mastermind-discovery-call In this raw and unfiltered episode of Ask Vince, Vince Gabriele fires straight from the hip on how gym owners can (and must) prepare for a shaky economy. With tariffs looming, prices rising, and fear thick in the air, Vince delivers a wake-up call: this isn't the time to coast—this is wartime CEO season.The episode kicks off with a preview of the upcoming July Mastermind event, featuring one of Vince's biggest gets ever—Ari Weinzweig of Zingerman's. From there, Vince dives deep into the power of his Elite Consulting Days, showing how a fresh perspective can expose profit leaks, mindset issues, and operational inefficiencies that are keeping gym owners stuck.The theme? Leadership, discipline, and decisiveness. Vince shows you how to hold the line, protect your business, and come out ahead—because “this too shall pass,” but only if you do the work. Top 5 Key Takeaways:1. Fresh Eyes Save Lives (and Businesses)Vince's Elite Consulting Days give gym owners a full-day deep dive into their business. These sessions uncover things owners are blind to—from bloated payroll to underpriced services—and give them a clear plan of action. Spoiler: you're probably undercharging, overworking, and bleeding cash without knowing it.2. The Economy is Messy—Fear is the Real EnemyTariffs are triggering fear, and fear changes behavior. Clients start cutting non-essentials (like gyms). Vince warns: you don't need to be an economist, but you must understand how economic perception affects your clients' decisions.3. Retention is KingHold onto what you've got. Vince shares how GFP slashed attrition to 1.5% by tracking attendance patterns, improving service, and doing more with less. His advice? Double down on delivering massive value and keep clients delighted, not just satisfied.4. Embrace Wartime LeadershipNow's the time to act like a wartime CEO: raise your standards, get disciplined, audit everything, and trim the fat—especially B-players on your team. Vince's favorite wartime move? Audit your billing and slash waste like your business depends on it—because it does.5. The Mindset Shift is Non-NegotiableWhen uncertainty hits, owners need to rewire their thinking. Vince lays out a wartime mindset playbook: think long-term, take massive ownership, and tighten up every aspect of life—from fitness to finances. As he says, “You gotta do more and better for less… and still win.” Ready to stay ahead in this shifting, tariff-driven climate?

He emphasizes that consistent, incremental growth (even just +1 or +2 members a month) can lead to massive long-term success. Vince identifies the common mistakes gym owners make, such as wasting time on "fake work" that doesn't drive new memberships or retention. He breaks down growth into four critical "buckets" and explains why knowing your key metrics in each bucket is essential for success. Vince encourages gym owners to focus on strategic rather than tactical solutions and to own their numbers to make informed business decisions. Top 5 Key Points:Get Enough LeadsLead generation is the foundation of growth.Gym owners often mistake a tactical problem (like needing better Facebook ads) for a strategic issue.The key is figuring out who owns the marketing and whether they understand, want, and have the capacity to handle it.Improve Lead-to-Consultation ConversionConversion from lead to consultation should be between 20% and 30%.If you have 100 leads and only 5 consultations, it's a process issue, not a lead issue.Gym owners often misdiagnose this problem due to lack of data tracking.Boost Consultation-to-Membership ConversionTo convert consultations into paying members, get clarity on their current situation and their desired future.Ask the game-changing question: "Why don't you have that now?"Understanding their gap allows you to position your offer as the solution.Retention is KeyRetention should be below 5% attrition; anything higher signals a problem.An 8% attrition rate creates a "leaky bucket" situation, making it hard to sustain growth.Fixing retention without even increasing leads or conversion can transform a business.Know Your Numbers and Stay FocusedTracking leads, conversion rates, and retention creates a simple but effective business plan.Focus on improving these core metrics instead of getting distracted by side projects (like juice bars or merchandise).If you're under 100 members, the priority is always on increasing members and retaining them. Book a free strategy call now and discover the exact steps to generate more leads, convert more members, and scale your gym faster.Click Here: https://calendly.com/spf-leo/spf-mastermind-discovery-call If you're a gym owner seeking answers on how you can grow your gym, make more money, and have more freedom to do what you love, visit www.vincegabriele.com or book a call by CLICKING HERE!

Dr. Wood explains how trauma—both major and minor emotional concussions—creates inflammation, disrupts the nervous system, and holds people back from reaching their true potential. He shares groundbreaking insights on how rewiring the brain can help business owners, athletes, and high performers break through self-imposed limitations. Using real-life case studies, including professional athletes and entrepreneurs, Dr. Wood demonstrates how his methods have led to record-breaking performances and financial success. Top 5 Key Points Discussed:The Hidden Impact of Trauma on PerformanceTrauma, even in subtle forms like childhood criticism or self-doubt, keeps the brain in a fight-or-flight state. This unresolved stress affects decision-making, business success, and physical health.Brainwave Optimization for High PerformanceDr. Wood explains the four brainwave states—Beta (high stress), Alpha (relaxed focus), Theta (processing state), and Delta (deep recovery). Rewiring the brain to operate in Alpha can unlock peak performance in business and athletics.The Mind-Body Connection in Business and FitnessMany gym owners and personal trainers unknowingly mask their own trauma through physical training. Dr. Wood emphasizes how trauma resolution can lead to better business decisions, improved client results, and personal breakthroughs.Real-Life Transformations Through Trauma WorkStories include a marathon runner breaking world records post-treatment, a high-level banker overcoming financial self-sabotage, and Dr. Wood's own daughter eliminating autoimmune diseases after addressing childhood trauma.Breaking Limiting Beliefs to Unlock the Next Level of SuccessEntrepreneurs often hit ceilings due to deep-seated fears and limiting beliefs from past experiences. Addressing these mental roadblocks allows for business growth, financial success, and personal fulfillment. Click the link below to see the Agenda for Gym Business Rawhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1noqfvY46-dtmLWd1_u65N3U4ckTVLBxH/view?usp=sharingand then Click here to get your virtual seats now!

If you've got people problems, this framework will help you diagnose and fix them before they take your business down with them. If you've ever felt like most of your business headaches come down to people, you're not alone. In this episode, we dive into the idea that 80-90% of business problems are really people problems. Drawing from years of mentorship under Mark McDonald and the principles of EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), we break down the four categories every team member falls into—and what to do about it. From hiring mistakes to tough calls on employees who don't fit, this episode gives gym owners and business leaders a no-nonsense framework for evaluating their staff and making the right moves to protect their culture and success. 5 Key Takeaways:The Four People Issues: Every team member falls into one of these categories:Right person, right seat (ideal scenario).Right person, wrong seat (misplaced talent).Wrong person, right seat (high performer, bad culture fit).Wrong person, wrong seat (big mistake, needs to go).Right People Need Growth Too: Don't neglect your best employees—help them see their future in your company by aligning their goals with business growth.Misplaced Employees Can Be Saved (Sometimes): A team member who fits your culture but struggles in their role might just need a different seat. Moving them can be tough, but it's often worth it.Toxic High Performers Will Kill Your Culture: A top performer who doesn't align with your values is a ticking time bomb. No matter how talented they are, they will erode trust and teamwork if left unchecked.Hiring is a Skill You Must Master: Many people problems stem from hiring mistakes. Learn to ask better questions, check references thoroughly, and trust your gut when making staffing decisions. Can't make it in person? No problem!

If you want to meet Devin along with over 140 ambitious gym owners and completely transform the way you run your gym click the link below to secure your spot at the most anticipated gym business event of the yearhttps://vincegabriele.com/gym-business-raw/ In this episode, Vince sits down with Devin Gage, a gym owner who went from struggling to sign his first client to running multiple gyms and making millions. They talk about the highs, the lows, and the oh sh*t moments of business growth. Devin shares how he went from clueless and overwhelmed to confident and strategic, breaking down the exact mindset and frameworks that got him there. They dive into the importance of having a clear vision, making data-driven decisions, and finding the right people to grow your business without losing your sanity. If you're a gym owner wondering what's next, this episode is packed with insights that'll help you level up. Five Key Takeaways:Get Clear on What You WantSaying “I want to grow” isn't enough. You need a specific, tangible goal—whether it's hitting $1.5M in revenue, working 20 hours less per week, or opening a second location. If your goal doesn't make you a little nervous, it's probably not big enough.Feel the Fear and Do It AnywayBig moves come with big risks, but sitting still is riskier. Devin follows a simple three-question framework:What's the upside?What's the worst-case scenario?Can I live with that worst case?If you can, it's time to move forward.Stop Running on Feelings—Know Your NumbersA gym owner saying “I feel like business is good” without knowing their retention rate, conversion numbers, or sales data is flying blind. The numbers don't lie—if you don't track them, you can't fix what's broken.Your Business Is Only as Good as Your PeopleIf you want to grow, you need self-driven facility leaders. These aren't people who wait to be told what to do—they take action, build relationships, and treat the gym like their own. Hire the right leaders, and your business will grow. Hire the wrong ones, and you'll lose a ton of money (Devin learned this the hard way).Your Job Will Change—And That's a Good ThingScaling means stepping away from the daily grind and spending more time thinking, solving problems, and planning for the future. It's not always exciting, but it's what takes you from running a gym to running a business. If you're stuck in “firefighter mode” putting out problems all day, you'll never get to the next level. If you want to meet Devin along with over 140 ambitious gym owners and completely transform the way you run your gym click the link below to secure your spot at the most anticipated gym business event of the yearhttps://vincegabriele.com/gym-business-raw/ If you're a gym owner seeking answers on how you can grow your gym, make more money, and have more freedom to do what you love, visit www.vincegabriele.com or book a call by CLICKING HERE!
