How do you grow fast without losing what makes your business great? In this episode, we sit down to talk about bringing on a private equity partner, CapitalSpring, and what that really means for our franchisees and our team. We get into why we waited for the right partner, how they're helping us scale faster, and why this is not just about money. It is about resources, accountability, and opening doors we couldn't open on our own. We also share what it is like to run 130+ franchises, the highs and lows of rapid growth, and how having the right support can make all the difference.

In this episode of Fitness Business Insights with Matt Robinson, I'm joined by Carly Killen to explore what happens when the traditional fitness career path no longer fits.Carly's journey spans working as an NHS dietitian, transitioning into personal training, building a client base in commercial gyms, moving into private facilities, and ultimately creating a business that aligned with her values, energy, and lifestyle.We talk candidly about the identity shifts that come with career change, why being busy or fully booked doesn't always equal fulfilment, and how many coaches quietly feel trapped by industry expectations they never consciously chose.This conversation covers:The pressure to follow a “standard” fitness career pathBurnout and misalignment in commercial gym environmentsThe hidden cost of chasing growth for growth's sakeWhy adaptability matters more than rigid business modelsBuilding a fitness business around who you are, not who you're told to beIf you're questioning your current version of success, feeling boxed in by the industry, or wondering what comes next in your fitness career, this episode will help you think differently about what's possible.

Build a Marketing "Vending Machine": A Predictable System for Leads & Clients Pat Rigsby explains the concept of creating a marketing "vending machine"—a predictable system where you invest in a front-end marketing process and reliably generate leads and clients. He outlines the steps: identify exactly who you want to serve and the problems/goals they have; determine where those people are so you can place your message in the highest-traffic locations (online or offline); create a simple, desire-based introductory asset (such as a book, guide, or lead magnet) followed by an experiential front-end offer, with a preference for free offers to reduce friction and get people through the door. Once you capture contact information, build a robust follow-up system to create brand awareness, familiarity, and know-like-trust, then present a clear offer focused on outcomes and the reasons people struggle to achieve or maintain results. He emphasizes delivering results, building deeper influence once clients are "under your roof," and moving them into an ongoing program. Pat encourages replacing episodic, tactic-by-tactic marketing with this consistent pipeline for stability, freedom, and wealth-building, and invites viewers to email pat@patrigsby.com for help through his Marketing Machine partner program. 00:00 Create Your Own Marketing "Vending Machine" (Intro) 00:10 The Origin Story: Dean Jackson's Vending Machine Concept 01:42 Step 1: Define Who You Serve & What They Want 03:09 Step 2: Put the Machine Where the People Are 04:19 Step 3: Build a Two-Step Intro Offer (Desire → Experience) 05:10 Why Free Front-End Offers Work (Getting Them Through the Door) 06:52 Follow-Up System: Know, Like, Trust on Autopilot 07:33 Convert to the Core Program: Deliver Outcomes & Retain Clients 09:04 Make It Predictable: Percentages, Pipeline, and Consistency 10:20 Wrap-Up + How to Get Help Building Your Marketing Machine

Garrett shares his background as a college hockey player and physics major whose injuries and frustration with traditional PT led him to functional neurology, direct current stimulation, and ultimately creating NEUBIE after years of clinical work in Austin and graduate study in neuroscience. They discuss NEUBIE's "mapping" process to identify guarding, excess tension, inhibition, and hypersensitivity patterns, and how direct current can accelerate neuromuscular reeducation to quickly change function—highlighting examples like improved shoulder range of motion in a single session and the "master reset" vagus nerve stimulation-style protocol for recovery. Garrett explains New Fit's growth to 400–500 U.S. clinics plus international distributors, mentions exposure through athletes like Saquon Barkley and discussions on Joe Rogan's podcast, and outlines research including a 150-patient diabetic peripheral neuropathy study comparing TENS (AC) to NEUBIE (DC), showing significant improvements in pain, sensation, ADLs, EMG amplitude, and nerve conduction velocity with direct current. For gym owners and performance facilities—especially those serving older populations—Garrett covers applications for loading muscles with less joint strain, references bodybuilding use (including Dexter Jackson's reported leg improvements leading to a 4th-place Mr. Olympia finish at age 50), and cites University of South Florida studies showing similar acute responses and 8-week muscle growth compared to traditional resistance training. They close with what's next (more research, next-gen innovation, and exploring AI) and how providers or individuals can learn more via www.new.fit and the provider directory. 00:00 Welcome + Meet Garrett & the NEU Fit Mission 02:10 Origin Story: Hockey Injuries, Functional Neurology & Direct Current 03:39 Building the NEUBIE: From UT Austin Clinic to Creating the Device 04:28 How NEUBIE Works: Mapping, Guarding Patterns & Fast Function Changes 08:30 Growth & Marketing: 400–500 Clinics, Pro Sports, Rogan & Industry Shows 12:27 Clinical Proof: Diabetic Neuropathy Study (Direct Current vs TENS) 14:13 For Gym Owners: Compliance + Hypertrophy, "Digital Weight" & Case Studies 19:14 Research on Muscle Growth + Performance & Assessment in Training Facilities 22:12 What's Next: More Research, Product Innovation & AI Integration 24:17 How to Get Started: Website, Provider Directory, Training & Closing

In this episode of Fitness Business Insights with Matt Robinson, I share a real (and slightly unbelievable) story from my time as a commercial gym PT. A moment where another trainer literally slapped me across the face.But this isn't just a story for shock value.It's a perfect example of what happens when a fitness business is built on one fragile strategy, no adaptability, and no real system behind client acquisition.Using this experience, I break down:Why relying on how you look, one platform, or one lead source is dangerousHow poor marketing foundations lead to frustration, burnout, and panicWhy being “good at fitness” isn't enough to build a sustainable PT businessHow to spot feedback signals your business is giving you (before it's too late)What successful coaches do differently to create multiple streams of visibility and trustThis episode is especially relevant if you:Feel stuck relying on one source of leadsAre posting consistently but not getting enquiriesFeel frustrated watching others grow while you stand stillWant a more stable, adaptable fitness business that doesn't rely on luckA raw story, a clear lesson, and practical takeaways you can apply immediately.

In this power-packed episode, Jason and Tobias dive deep into the systems, structures, and strategic thinking that truly scale a fitness business, from CRM mastery and automated nurture sequences to niching down, crafting a unique mechanism, and building long-term client trust. Their conversation blends real industry experience with actionable guidance, reminding listeners that success comes from investing in yourself, implementing proven systems, and solving one clear problem for one specific audience with excellence.   "As soon as you get laser-focused on solving one big problem for one type of client and showing that you have a unique system and strategy that gets them the result, that's where you start hitting some home runs, folks."   Key takeaways: Systems Scale Businesses — Large gym chains succeed because of solid systems; online coaches must adopt the same mindset and tools.  A CRM Is Essential — Tracking leads, notes, follow-ups, and nurture sequences through a CRM ensures no potential client slips through the cracks.  Email Nurture Builds Trust & Omnipresence — A strong email list allows you to deliver value, direct people to your content, and stay top-of-mind when they're ready to buy.  A Focused Niche Wins — Trying to "help everyone" repels everyone; define one problem for one person and speak directly to them.  A Unique Mechanism Differentiates You — Without a distinct method or framework, clients compare you on price; a unique process positions you as the premium solution.  Mentorship Fast-Tracks Growth — Investing in coaching removes years of trial-and-error and accelerates results.  Your Warm List Is Gold — Past and current clients, plus an email list, make launches easier and more profitable than relying solely on social media.  Personal Storytelling Creates Connection — Tobias's journey—from childhood challenges to corporate fitness success to coaching—shows how authenticity builds credibility.  Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

Send us a textThis episode of The Anthony Amen Show is different — Anthony is the one in the hot seat.In a raw, unfiltered interview, Anthony breaks down what it actually takes to move from coach to entrepreneur, and why most fitness professionals never make the jump. We talk about the unglamorous realities behind building a real business: learning to love numbers and systems, deciding whether you're an operator or a hobbyist, and using long-term thinking to design a life that doesn't collapse under success.Anthony shares how his passion for coaching evolved into building scalable machines that help more people — and how that shift demanded emotional regulation, better habits, and uncomfortable risk. The conversation covers season-of-life decisions, including when to keep a 9–5 while building at night, when asymmetric upside justifies going all-in, and how to apply “gym logic” to business growth.It gets personal. Anthony opens up about losing friendships, rebuilding his relationship with the woman who became his wife, and learning how proximity, environment, and ownership shape outcomes — in business and in life.This episode is for:Fitness professionals who want more than trading hours for dollarsEntrepreneurs balancing ambition with relationshipsAnyone building something meaningful who feels the weight of responsibilityIf you're trying to scale without burning out — or wondering what the real cost of growth looks like — this conversation gives you frameworks, not fluff.Subscribe to The Anthony Amen Show for grounded conversations on fitness, business, leadership, and life.
