In this episode of Building Texas Business, Chris Hanslik sits down with Travis Hollman, owner and CEO of Hollman, the largest manufacturer of lockers in the United States and the world. Travis shares the story of a family business his father started in 1976, one he bought in 2016, and how it grew into the company behind the locker rooms you see everywhere from Notre Dame, USC, and the Houston Rockets to Equinox, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America branches across the country.Travis talks about his winding path into ownership, including getting let go by his own father, launching seven or eight companies of his own along the way, and returning to rescue the business as it slid toward bankruptcy. He reflects on the value of finding work that naturally fits how you think, using tools like Culture Index and Myers Briggs to understand yourself and build the right team, and why starting a company from the ground up is one of the hardest things an entrepreneur can do.The conversation moves through innovation, culture, and the discipline of keeping a fifty year old company feeling like a startup. Travis explains how his MeSpace concept for neurodiverse offices reshaped the way his team designs sleepable, function first locker rooms, how his new AI division is transforming billing, renderings, and shop drawings, and why he believes honesty is the only real policy when a customer relationship goes south. He also opens up about Texas as the ideal place to build and manufacture, sharing a memorable story of staying open through COVID with the help of a responsive local government.Chris and Travis also explore leadership and authenticity, from Travis embracing his direct, bullet point style to surrounding himself with good cop VPs who balance him out. He closes with a moving look at the educational foundation he and his wife created, funding college for the children of his Hispanic plant workers so families can build lasting security across generations.If you are interested in manufacturing, family business, innovation, leadership, and building a company that stays true to its values while embracing new technology, this episode offers an honest and energizing look at what it takes to lead with authenticity and purpose.LINKSShow NotesPrevious EpisodesAbout BoyarMillerAbout Hollman, Inc.

Can a fully booked schedule still leave you struggling financially?In this episode of The Pilates Business Podcast, host Seran Glanfield challenges one of the biggest myths in the boutique fitness industry—that full classes automatically equal a successful business. While a busy Pilates studio may look thriving from the outside, many studio owners are quietly battling cash flow challenges, rising payroll costs, and the overwhelming pressure of being the person their business depends on.Seran explores the critical difference between revenue and profitability, why growth without strong systems can create more stress than success, and the leadership shifts required to build a business that is both profitable and sustainable. She shares practical insights into improving margins, pricing, client retention, operational systems, and building a business that supports your life—not one that consumes it.If you're ready to stop chasing busy and start building a profitable boutique fitness business that gives you freedom, stability, and long-term success, this episode is for you.In this episode you'll discover:Why full classes don't always translate into healthy profitsThe hidden costs of growth without business strategyThe difference between being a busy studio owner and an effective CEOHow systems, pricing, and retention drive long-term profitabilityWhy your business shouldn't rely entirely on you to succeedThe mindset shift that creates a scalable, sustainable Pilates businessWhether you own a Pilates, barre, yoga, or boutique fitness studio, this episode will help you rethink what real success looks like—and how to build a business that supports both your clients and the life you wantGot a question for Seran?

I went to Disneyland with my family and came back with a notebook full of business lessons.I'll be honest, I wasn't that bothered about going the first time. That was 2019. We've now been three times, and each visit has been longer and more expensive than the last. Which tells you something in itself.In this episode I go through what I noticed while I was there, and how it maps onto what we do. Not the theme park stuff. The bits underneath it that most people never consciously register but absolutely feel.In this episode:Why the details you think nobody notices are the ones doing the most workHow Disney turn queuing, the most mundane part of the whole experience, into part of the experience itself, and what that means for the six days a week your client isn't with youThe reports I used to write for my accountant clients and my teacher clients, and why they became the thing those clients looked forward to mostWhat standards actually means, and why you can still look scruffy in a uniformHow easy is it to be your client? Really?Why your clients are comparing you to their hairdresser and their last hotel stay, whether you like it or notAround two hours of a four day trip were spent on rides. Everything else was the experience. Worth thinking about if you only see your clients for an hour a week.Book a Business Breakthrough Call: https://mattrobinsoncoaching.com/speak-with-matt

#333 In this bite-sized episode, Billy shares a practical framework for thinking about spending in your business using ideas inspired by The Art of Spending by Morgan Housel. The big takeaway: money decisions are emotional first, logical second. That's true for your clients, and it's true for you too. We walk through three questions to help you evaluate spending more clearly: Is this an expense or an investment? Is it aligned with the vision and values of the business? Am I thinking long term? I explain why it's important not to underspend in the wrong places, especially on people and marketing, while also avoiding wasteful spending that doesn't create return. I share real-world examples from gym owners, coaching, software, and automations to show how these decisions play out in practice. I also make the case that not every expense has to be perfect on paper. Sometimes spending is worth it because it saves time, reduces stress, or protects flexibility in the future. If you want to make better financial decisions in your business, this episode gives you a simple but powerful way to think it through. Key Takeaways Spending is emotional, even when it feels strategic. People and marketing are two areas where underinvesting can hurt growth. Some software and subscriptions quietly drain profit over time. The right spending should align with your business vision and values. Long-term thinking helps prevent emotionally driven mistakes. Mentioned in This Episode The Art of Spending by Morgan Housel A calculator/resource from Naamly to evaluate savings and profitability Forecasting and cash flow planning as decision-making tools Quote to Remember "Is this an expense or an investment?" Listener Challenge Take one current business expense and run it through these three questions: Is it an expense or an investment? Does it align with my vision and values? Am I thinking long term?

In this episode of The Pilates Business Podcast, host Seran Glanfield sits down with boutique fitness business broker and exit planning expert Mitch McGinley to unpack a conversation many studio owners avoid — what are you actually building? While many Pilates and boutique fitness studio owners focus on revenue, class numbers, and client retention, few stop to consider the long-term value of the business itself. Seran and Mitch dive into what truly creates business value, how to build systems that make your studio sustainable, and why creating a business that can run without you matters whether you ever plan to sell or not. They explore boutique fitness business valuation, leadership, studio systems, exit strategy planning, and the emotional realities of transitioning away from a business you've poured your heart into. If you're a Pilates studio owner looking to create a profitable, scalable business while avoiding burnout, this episode is filled with practical insights to help you build something with lasting value.In this episode you'll learn:• What actually determines the value of your studio business• Why many owners accidentally build themselves a job instead of an asset• The systems every boutique fitness business should have in place• How business valuations really work• Common mistakes that reduce studio value• Why owner dependency can hurt long-term growth• What Mitch is seeing right now in the Pilates industry• How to de-risk your business for the futureConnect with Mitch here: https://boutiquefitnessbroker.com/Got a question for Seran?

Succession planning isn't a finish line — it's a process that starts years before any leader steps back. Scott Gillespie knows this better than most. A 40-year fitness industry veteran, Gillespie owns Saco Sports and Fitness, a multigenerational outcomes-based health club, and a F45 training studio in Maine, along with many other roles in the industry. Gillespie joined Club Solutions Magazine editor and podcast host Taylor Gabhart to discuss how he prepared his team to lead Saco without him in the building. The conversation covers how crisis reveals character in future leaders, the gradual step-back strategy that eased both staff and members into the transition, and why documenting systems two decades ago made the handoff possible today.

Most personal trainers are sitting on hidden time they don't even realise they have and it could be the difference between a business that grows and one that stays stuck.In this episode of the Fitness Business Insights Podcast, Matt walks through one of the most overlooked problems in a PT's working day: the gap. That mid-morning or early afternoon lull between client blocks that quietly drains your productivity, your evenings, and your weekends... without you ever noticing.You'll learn how to close the "intention to action gap," why your to-do list is actually working against you, and how to restructure just a few hours each week to start moving the needle on your business, without working more hours.Whether you're a gym floor PT or working in an independent space, this episode will help you take back control of your time and start building the business (and lifestyle) you originally set out to create.You'll discover:Why most PTs feel overwhelmed at 25 sessions a week and what's really going onThe simple diary shift that more than doubles your chances of completing a taskHow to prioritise lead generation during your gaps (and why it matters more than admin)What "working on the business" actually looks like in practiceConnect with Matt:

He says results often come without paid marketing and cites past "Best Month Ever" initiatives, including doubling a client's best month and achieving near-best months about 90% of the time through day-by-day plans and consistent execution. The approach can generate immediate cash infusion, trials, or low-cost front-end offers that convert into recurring revenue, potentially adding $1,500-$2,000 monthly and $18,000-$24,000 annually.

Do you ever catch yourself waiting until you feel ready?Ready to start. Ready to show up. Ready to sell. Ready to make the move. Ready for life to feel a little more stable before you really go for it.In today's episode, I'm talking with my Localpreneur Academy client Brittany Powell, a personal trainer and nutrition coach who built a 6-figure business from her garage without the perfect setup, Instgrammable background, or ideal circumstances.Brittany shares how shutting down her gym during Covid — what could have felt like her biggest failure — actually opened the door to one of her biggest successes: building her online fitness app, growing a strong community and creating more freedom in both her business and her life. We also talk about why marketing locally first helped her gain traction, what it looked like to move her business into a whole new life chapter and why so much of growth comes from being willing to go before you feel fully ready.Tune into this episode to learn:How Brittany turned the closure of her gym into the beginning of her online business and fitness movementWhy marketing to women in her local community first helped her build trust, gain traction and get clients fastWhat building her business from her garage — and later from an RV in Colorado — taught her about starting before you feel ready and building a business around your real lifeMentioned in this episode:Work with me inside The Localpreneur AcademyFollow me on Instagram @‌lesliepresnallDownload my Free Guide: How To Grow Your Local Instagram FollowingFollow Brittany on Facebook at Peak Performance AthleticsFollow Brittany on Instagram at @brittpowellfitIf you're ready to grow your local business and bring in a steady stream of clients, you need to check out The Localpreneur Academy.

He compares one-off promotions and desperation marketing (like promises to add 100 members fast) to extreme diets, noting they can create infrastructure and experience issues, may attract poor-fit clients, and leave owners stuck when the tactic stops working. Instead, he advocates installing documented, coachable marketing and follow-up processes with multiple channels—referrals, reactivation, organic, online/offline, paid ads, plus email, text, and calls—to reliably bridge leads into clients. He highlights using a monthly marketing plan as a core driver of sustainable growth and lower-stress operations. 00:00 More Leads Trap 00:59 Band Aid Fixes 02:12 Systems Not Surges 03:25 Promo Pitfalls 05:25 Build Repeatable Habits 06:06 Multichannel Lead Flow 07:07 Monthly Marketing Plan 08:09 Final Takeaway

Send us Fan MailYour running plan might be missing the one thing that makes everything else work: strength. I'm joined by strength coach and entrepreneur Chris Ryan, and we get honest about what actually helps runners stay healthy, improve form, and keep chasing goals without getting stuck in the injury cycle.Chris shares his path from competitive sports and Division I track to the real-world turning point many athletes face: recurring injuries, shifting priorities, and the need to build a life beyond competition. From corporate finance to entrepreneurship to coaching in New York, he explains how discipline and consistency transfer across every arena. We also talk about what he loves most as a coach: helping people build self-respect through small, repeatable wins that compound over time.Then we get practical for endurance athletes. We break down why many runners struggle when they only “pound the pavement,” why surface choice matters, and how adding controlled intensity can improve running economy and posture. Chris makes a strong case for strength training for runners, including why the trap bar deadlift is such a powerful tool for building force and resilience without chasing muscle size. We also cover mobility and prehab staples like tibialis raises, ankle and calf work, and hip mobility patterns that support better mechanics.We even zoom in on nutrition with a simple lens: the “liquid diet” problem, from alcohol to sugar-loaded coffee drinks, and how cleaning that up can change energy, recovery, and body composition fast. If you want smarter training, fewer aches, and a plan you can actually stick to, press play, subscribe, and share this with a runner who refuses to lift.

What's the number one fear every coach carries? That their clients aren't getting results. But before we can talk about client behavior, programming, or nutrition — we need to call out the elephant in the room: Sometimes, we are the problem.WELCOME TO THE SMARTER STRENGTH PODCASTDr. David Skolnik, DPT is back behind the mic — and this time, the mission is bigger. After 98 episodes of the Essential Strength Podcast (last recorded in 2022), David is launching a brand new weekly show designed specifically for fitness professionals who are done consuming content and ready to act on it.The fitness industry has more information, more tools, and more opportunity than ever before. AI is reshaping how we work. The demand for skilled coaches has never been higher. And yet — coaches are overwhelmed, undervalued, and stuck in a loop of learning without applying. That ends here.Big THANK YOU to our sponsors:- CoachRX - Hands down, the best platform for coaches.

There is no shortage of fitness podcasts — but almost none of them tell you what to do next. Smarter Strength fills that gap.IN THIS EPISODEDavid lays out the vision for the show and delivers a challenge directly to coaches: we have more power to change people's lives than we give ourselves credit for — but no one is going to hand us that recognition. We have to earn it, own it, and prove it through the results we get for our clients. When we do that, our clients become our best marketing — walking billboards for what a great coach can do.All of this grinds to a halt if we don't acknowledge the elephant in the room - that more often than not, if client's aren't getting results, WE ARE THE PROBLEM.

Using the Wealthy Gym Owner business as an example, she contrasts gym-owner-only expertise with her broader experience across about 40 businesses, multiple facilities, hundreds of franchise locations, and extensive coaching, noting how even identical ad campaigns can succeed in two nearby gyms and fail in a third. She emphasizes that what works for one business doesn't universally transfer and highlights the value of combining "boots on the ground" operational testing with broad best-practice insights, as well as blending systems installation with coaching. For gym owners, she recommends leveraging strong coaching and client experience by improving business skills from a C level to a B, creating a powerful stack that can leapfrog competitors. 00:00 Stacking To Win 00:09 The Skill Stack Idea 01:09 Gym Coaching Blind Spots 01:47 When Ads Don't Transfer 03:52 Our Experience Advantage 05:41 Systems Plus Coaching 06:04 Your B-Level Business Goal 08:03 Become A Plus At Two 08:21 Final Takeaway

What's the difference between a website that looks great and one that actually brings in business? In this episode, Alloy founder Rick Mayo sits down with Jimmy Weeks, CEO of Internet Strategy Labs, to dig into what separates high-performing websites from digital dead ends. Jimmy has built nearly 700 websites over 25 years and built one of the first franchise analytics dashboards in the industry. He knows what works and more importantly, why. They cover how to design for different buyer personas, why time-on-site has dropped from three minutes to under one, how the back end of your site can quietly kill your marketing results, and why building for function before beauty is almost always the right call. If you run a franchise location or are evaluating the performance of your brand's web presence, this one is worth your time.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Become a nutrition coach w/ SUF NC working alongside RD's to build you team and streams of revenue.Torey Berry, SUF instructor talks about her success with having an RD on her team.Most personal trainers talk about nutrition all day and still leave money and results on the table. We want the opposite: clear boundaries, better outcomes, and a real nutrition coaching offer that clients happily pay for. That starts by putting a Registered Dietitian on your team so you can stay in your scope of practice while delivering higher-level support.We dig into how this looks with real clients, including a PCOS and prediabetes scenario where insulin resistance and blood sugar response matter. You'll hear why the goal is not “no carbs,” but smarter carbs with more fiber, better structure, and the right context. When an RD drives the nutrition strategy, clients get safer guidance, trainers stop guessing, and the coaching conversation becomes more credible and more effective.From there, we lay out the business model: how we introduce the RD, when we bring nutrition into the coaching timeline, and how we price tiered packages that include consults, weekly logs, and optional meal plans. We also talk systems for scaling without burnout, plus creative add-ons like bringing in a private chef to teach cooking and prep so clients can actually execute.Finally, we get tactical about networking: what to say when you email or DM a dietitian, how to interview for fit, how bartering can work, and how to loop in medical weight loss doctors to build a referral network that benefits everyone. If you want to separate yourself in a crowded personal training market with a professional team approach, press play, then subscribe, share this with a trainer friend, and leave a review.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

He explains that flaws like bad pricing, broken payroll structure, or unsustainable rent can keep a business afloat but prevent real upside, wealth, or fair rewards for hard work. While he agrees with Dan Kennedy's idea that "money loves speed," he stresses speed must be aimed in the right direction—like using a map instead of driving fast without a destination. He urges owners to audit whether their model is durable, scalable, sustainable, and enjoyable, and offers to discuss it via email. 00:00 Why Hustle Fails 00:12 Client Story Broken Model 01:14 Common Model Breakdowns 01:44 Money Loves Speed 02:00 Speed Needs Direction 03:49 Models Evolve Over Time 04:38 Audit Your Business Model 05:02 Reengineer For Wealth

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Meet SAM & Paul. SUF-CPTs who are discussing ways to get clients at big box gyms. Sam already has 3 clients at Equinox and she was hired within 4-weeks with her SUF-CPT.The fastest way to get personal training clients at a big box gym is not a clever pitch. It is being the trainer people actually see, trust, and remember. We're joined by Sam, a brand-new Equinox trainer who's already built momentum in her first month, and her story turns “getting clients” from a vague hope into a repeatable plan.We talk through the real-world tactics that work at high-end gyms like Equinox and Lifetime, and also translate perfectly to Crunch, LA Fitness, and EOS. Sam explains her gym-floor outreach script, why a clipboard helps, and how she offers a complimentary assessment that feels helpful instead of pushy. We also dig into guided tours that convert by delivering an “Equinox experience” with a modified movement screen, a full-body session, and smart finishing touches that make prospects feel taken care of.Then we lay out three core strategies for personal trainer marketing inside a gym: be present when members train, run simple workshops that generate leads, and always be training someone so your coaching is visible. You'll hear practical workshop ideas like a grip strength leaderboard and a blood pressure check, plus how to follow up ethically, educate members on what their numbers mean, and build credibility by networking with medical professionals when appropriate. If you're serious about filling your schedule, growing your fitness business, and standing out in a crowded personal training industry, this is your playbook.Subscribe for more trainer tactics, share this with a coach who needs clients, and leave a review with the one strategy you'll try on your next floor shift.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

He outlines three actions: (1) immerse in ideas by revisiting podcasts, books, newsletters, past work, and talking with sharp business owners to spark new thinking; (2) get personal through outreach and more conversations, which create momentum, opportunities, market awareness, and insights even if they don't immediately produce new business; and (3) get aggressive by doubling down on making more offers and investing in coaching or consulting, reinforcing a "bet on yourself" mentality. He emphasizes focusing on solutions rather than victimhood, citing his approach to his son Alex's autoimmune condition and his mindset as a college baseball coach after losses. 00:00 Three Moves When Slow 00:12 Adversity Mindset 01:12 Immerse in Ideas 02:13 Get Personal Outreach 03:20 Bet on Yourself 05:08 Solutions Not Victimhood 05:41 Lessons From Family 07:12 Competitive Advantage Wrap 07:47 Three Steps Recap

Drawing on 20 years of experience working behind the scenes with thousands of gyms, he notes most owners have tried referrals, reactivation, promotions, offers, and ads, but fail to execute consistently. He compares marketing to client training: results compound when actions are repeated and refined through practice. He outlines key monthly "boxes" to check—paid traffic, referrals, reactivation, organic awareness, reviews, social posting, strong follow-up, and long-term lead nurturing—so leads can convert later and create a steady flywheel of client growth. He offers to help build a monthly marketing plan via email at pat@patrigsby.com. 00:00 Why Marketing Feels Random  00:32 Most Gyms Do Tactics Sporadically 02:22 Consistency Beats Occasional Effort 03:20 Monthly Marketing Boxes to Check 04:18 Compounding Leads and Flywheel 05:09 Build the Monthly Plan
