Podcasts about 9round

Why do some businesses thrive while others crumble? In this livestream, I'll break down how weak leadership is often the root cause of business failure—using my firsthand experience working for both 9Round and OrangeTheory Fitness as the perfect case study.Both brands operate with similar business models, yet one is still standing while the other has shut its doors. The difference? Leadership. I'll be sharing behind-the-scenes insights from both companies, highlighting key decisions (or lack thereof) that determined their fate.If you're a business owner, manager, or just someone interested in the dynamics of success and failure in the fitness industry, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. Drop your thoughts in the chat and let's discuss what it really takes to run a successful business.

"Motivation follows action," says Shannon “The Cannon” Hudson, Founder and CEO of 9Round Franchising, LLC, the world's largest kickboxing fitness franchise. Shannon trained in martial arts as a boy, and was motivated to become an IKF Light Middleweight Kickboxing World Champion. We talk about action and motivation in business, and how - along with his wife, Heather “The Hero” Hudson - he opened the first 9Round in 2008, growing the company to over 500 locations open and operating in 20 different countries around the world.

In this episode of the Remote CEO Show, I had the pleasure to interview Peter Taunton. Peter Taunton is an entrepreneur and founder of several fitness brands. He grew up in Willmar, Minnesota, and quit college during his junior year after a business statistics class left him frustrated and in debt. Peter excelled in racquetball, which led to his first health club ownership opportunity. He later founded Snap Fitness, which has grown to 2,500 locations in 26 countries. He also founded 9Round, Farrell's, YogaFit, STEELE Fitness, and Fitness On Demand. Peter believes in providing affordable financing, world-class support, and management philosophy to his franchise owners. He was named Ernst and Young “Entrepreneur of the Year” in 2010.

Shannon "The Cannon" Hudson, founder and CEO of 9Round Franchising, LLC, is a former IKF Light Middleweight Kickboxing Champion of the World. After over 70 bouts in the ring, Shannon could not find a place where the average person could be exposed to the "Top Secret" training of some of the best fighters in the world. That is where his vision for 9Round began. He knew that if he could take the gruelling workouts he did in the ring, and create a non-intimidating, convenient circuit workout format, then the average person could enjoy the benefits of boxing and kickboxing only available to professional athletes. Shannon and his wife, Heather, opened their first 9Round studio in 2008 in Greenville, SC. Since then, the brand has grown to more than 600 locations across 41 states and 18 countries, plus many more in various stages of development – all delivering on the promise of making members stronger in 30 minutes, physically and mentally. In this episode, we discuss: Shannon's story on founding 9Round fitness How different teams across functions come together to drive growth Shannon's framework to leading at the highest level, and why taking care of yourself must be a priority Importance of strong execution, and how Shannon aligns his team to metrics How to measure and track progress for a unified vision 9Round fitness franchising and its competitive advantage compared to other fitness brands

9Round, F45, Orangetheory, Anytime Fitness and other franchises; CrossFit affiliates; jiu-jitsu, karate and MMA facilities; bodybuilding and personal training gyms; yoga and Pilates studios—Two-Brain can help all of them.In this episode, Chris Cooper lays out exactly how Two-Brain uses one-on-one mentorship to help each gym owner grow their unique business. While the exact mentor-recommended growth tactics might differ slightly when implemented in each business, the principles behind them don't change. First, we systemize everything. Then we focus on key metrics:1. Client head count2. Average revenue per member3. Length of engagement4. Return on investment5. Effective hourly rate 6. Net owner benefitWe also track important marketing metrics: leads, set rate, show rate and close rate.After that, we focus on optimization and then growth—helping a gym improve its metrics fast. The result: Strong, stable businesses with owners who are able to live the lives they want.Links"How to Make $100,00 Per Year With 150 Clients"1:00 - Systemizing any business2:30 - Metrics for gyms3:25 - Optimizing a business6:55 - Scaling a business

He is the owner of multiple 9Round franchises and the General Manager at social performance club KOLLECTIVE. A college dropout, Ryan suffered a career ending injury playing football during his freshman year, causing him to fall into a deep depression for a couple of years. The thing that eventually turned his life around? Fitness. It was his original passion and continued to be that driving force behind his success in life and in business. Fitness truly did save Ryan's life. Ryan opened his first gym in 2013, and his second in 2014. He loved the process of putting together these “communities” of people who were united in their quest for continuous growth in both their physical and mental wellbeing. Things weren't always smooth sailing for Ryan. He went through a rough divorce five years later, which led him to sell his two gyms and recalibrate his direction.

“The journey with the consumer should never stop,” says Jon Cottam, CEO, EMEA for Lift Brands. A strong sentiment, but how do you turn this into a tangible part of your franchise's make-up?  For Lift Brands, the trick is evolution. The pandemic hasn't suddenly transformed its concepts like Snap Fitness and 9Round into entirely new endeavors – instead, it has allowed them to naturally evolve and incorporate the likes of wearables and digital experiences into operations.  On this episode, we speak with Cottam about the wider Lift Brands portfolio, and really dig down into what makes a boutique brand like 9Round appealing in the increasingly competitive workout space. We also touch on the “elitist” feel that boutique concepts can sometimes possess, and how Lift Brands is doing everything it can to make fitness as welcoming as possible.

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have an extraordinary guest, Peter Taunton, who shares his knowledge and insights about building a real wealth, how to turn a failing business into an empire, how he built his first 3 clubs and expand it into 6,000 locations, why it’s essential to understand your numbers as a business owner, how to make your employees loyal, and what’s the good thing about bootstrapping a business! Peter Taunton is a serial-entrepreneur, a pioneer in the fitness industry, an expert in building a franchise system, international franchising, bootstrapping a startup, expansion, and roll-out strategies both domestic and international, the CEO of Lift Brands, and the founder of Snap Fitness, an affordable, 24-7, results-driven gym. In recent years, he has acquired and founded several brands to round out the consumer-fitness experience: 9Round, Farrell’s, YogaFit, STEELE Fitness, Fitness on Demand. Together with the Snap Fitness brand, they comprise the world’s largest wellness franchise organization, serving 165 million workouts and counting. Prior to founding Snap Fitness, Peter owned nine America’s Fitness Centers and has been well-recognized by the business community. In 2010, he was named an Ernst and Young “Entrepreneur of the Year.” His companies have also been featured for six years running in such prestigious industry lists as Entrepreneur 500, Inc 5000, Top Global, and Franchise 500.  Peter was born and raised in a middle-class family. He has been engaging in business since he was 8 years old working with his dad, selling popcorn in front of a grocery store. This young entrepreneur also loves sports. He was one of the better racquetball players in their town. The discipline and dedication he learned from this sport would later fuel his success in business.  He was in his early 20’s when the huge break came. With no experience, Peter never thinks twice and grabbed the opportunity to turn on and manage a failing club. With his commitment and sacrifices, he turns it into an empire. Later, Peter has built his own three (3) clubs, the Snap Fitness that now has 6, 000 locations across 20 different countries. What so special with his way of managing?  Simply, quitting was not an option for him. He loves wins but embraces loses and lives with it. Peter believes that failing is part of growing. Likewise, Peter gives importance on investing not just the machine but also the human capital. He made sure that the company grows as well as his employees. Peter shares with those big moments in their life. Co-signed for homes for his employees, and helped them buy their first new car. Also, Peter allows them to buy shares in the company. Currently, his employees have stock options in his companies that he owned because when he wins, he wants everyone to win.

Some of the questions that Holly and Peter explore: ·     How did you create a vision of growing a wellness franchise? ·     What are tips and strategies get you into the flow and keep you there? ·     What is your daily mindfulness and physical fitness practice? ·     How are you building your CBD business? Peter says “I love my life!” And in his life the common thread is wellness, physical and mental. Having the right mindset and being prepared to do the work by setting up a chronological order to set up new businesses. Take small bites and work your way through it. Thin yourself from the herd to be visible and impactful. He found himself finding that money doesn’t buy happiness. He was wealthy, but single, and focused on philanthropy in order to create a life that made him happy. He started posting his daily devotionals and gained a following Luck and hope is not a business plan. Along with his daily devotional, he has a to do list that he’s kept since he was twelve years old. Social media has become an avenue for him to express himself – if you see four guys in a meeting, three in suits and one in jeans and flip flops – he’s the one with the money. He rides his bike around Miami to meetings. He prays with those he meets with. Known as Pistol Peet, even the homeless community leans on Peter to bring smiles and connection. Peter looks back at his life and asks “What did I miss? What would I have done differently?” And, responds, “I wish I would have danced more. He wishes he’s spent more time with his family, church and friends. He built 377 stores in a year! He was able to hire the right talent and get them to stay in their lanes. He has used the same systems and processes over the years and they have worked successfully whether he was opening 5 stores a month or 377 a year. Peter started working out when he was thirteen and just never stopped. He manages his weight and body fat and can do more pullups today than when he was in his twenties! You really miss something when we equate success to money. Balance and presence is the key to success. Peter gives 10% of his profits in his CBD sales to charity. He is in it for the challenge of building a consciously run company. Follow Peter on Instagram @Peter_taunton or on Twitter @petertaunton.

“Even with a franchise, there are many tidy details and lessons to be learned. These things are easy to miss, and it’s important to take time and pick up a nugget or two to improve your life,” says Shannon Hudson, co-founder and CEO of 9Round. “I don’t want you to sleepwalk through life, missing all the lessons as you go. Most people are just going through the motions and doing the same thing over and over – wondering why they keep getting the same results. Make sure you’re noticing and soaking up every nugget of knowledge along the way.” This week on Franchise Today co-hosts Stan Friedman and Paul Segreto welcome Shannon "The Cannon" Hudson as their guest. Shannon is co-founder and CEO of 9Round, the world’s largest and fastest-growing kickboxing gym franchise. Based on his journey from a world kickboxing champion to the founder of a worldwide brand, Shannon discusses the blood, sweat and tears of building an international fitness chain.  Franchise Today airs LIVE Wednesdays at 12 PM Eastern Time / 11 AM Central Time with on-demand access on iTunes and is proudly sponsored by FRM Solutions and Franchise Foundry.

Owner of the 3 locations her in town. Kaye Baron and her General manager of the gyms, “Queen” Be sit down to talk about the Colorado Springs franchise but more importantly how it has changed general manager Be’s life. Fitness is a powerful tool and has the ability to completely transform a person’s life and way of living 180 degrees. Be describes her story about how she lost over 80 pounds of fat and gained lean muscle, strength and confidence. During the interview we talk about the psychology behind exercise and how it’s the best therapy (usually cheaper too!) along with the 9Round fitness center goals and how they want to help make a lasting change, not only with the body, but with the community as well. First, what is 9Round? 9Round is an interval based gym where the members move through 9 different rounds, each being 3 minutes long. The rounds are a mixture of kicking, punching, squatting, pushing and we can’t forget the infamous speed bag! Takeaways and tips – During the show we received many great tips from both Be and Kaye and one of the most memorable one is to just start. No matter what program or activity you choose to do starting is going to be the hardest part and also believe, believe in yourself and know that anyone has the power to change! Also, here is the Smoothie recipe link and that recipe for homemade banana ice cream we talked about: Smoothies Link Banana Ice Cream Recipe: 1 Frozen Banana 1/4 Cup Almond Milk (or any milk) 2 Tsp. Cocoa Powder. 1 Tbsp. Agave Nectar. Directions: Mix All Ingredients together in a food processor or blender.
