Most fitness businesses don't fail because of effort.They fail because the system was never designed to scale.If you're still:• “Trying harder”• Tweaking ads without structure• Relying on motivation instead of infrastructure…this video will expose exactly why that approach breaks.Inside this breakdown, we dismantle the biggest lie in the fitness industry:

The proven system 1000+ men use to stay lean, strong, clear, and capable. https://www.muscleintelligence.com/apply   Join 200,000 men in their prime, reading our weekly newsletter: http://muscleintelligence.com/newsletter   What happens when you combine a legendary physique with total honesty? In this episode, I sit down with the one and only Lee Priest at the iconic Gold's Gym in Venice California, to unpack the real foundations of bodybuilding: hard training, simple nutrition, and ruthless consistency. Lee shares what his actual contest prep looked like (including the cycles people still argue about), why modern bodybuilding often looks "softer," and the intensity mindset most lifters have lost. We also go deeper on focus, distraction, and why phones are quietly destroying training quality, and even life quality. If you're serious about building muscle, staying powerful as you age, and cutting through the noise, this one delivers.   5 Bullet Points: Lee's real contest-prep cycle, explained simply Why "more gear" often makes you worse Old school training principles that still win The intensity mindset most lifters avoid Phones, distraction, and lost training quality   About Ben Ben Pakulski is the Chief Performance Officer to elite executives, successful entrepreneurs, and top athletes.With over 25 years of experience, he coaches high achievers to build the physical, psychological, and metabolic resilience required to lead at the highest level.

Rising through the ranks as a teenage standout, Lee earned his pro card in the early 1990s and became one of bodybuilding's most iconic physiques through the late-90s and 2000s. He's respected not just for how he looked on stage, but for how he trained: hard, simple, consistent, and focused on execution over ego. Today, Lee remains a fan-favorite for his unfiltered opinions on modern bodybuilding culture, drugs, training intensity, and what it actually takes to build an elite body.   Time Stamps: 00:00 - Meeting Lee Priest: A Bodybuilding Legend 01:45 - Lee Priest's Early Career and Challenges 03:28 - Training at Gold's Gym: Memories and Changes 07:53 - Competing and Training Philosophy 11:18 - Reflections on Bodybuilding and Life 32:58 - Commonwealth Connections and Prime Ministers 33:13 - First Exposure to Olympia 33:35 - Comparing Bodybuilders: Then and Now 34:18 - Training Techniques and Intensity 42:06 - The Role of Technology in Training 46:23 - The Importance of Family Values 47:06 - The Influence of Social Media 48:15 - Longevity and Health Concerns 53:37 - The Impact of Modern Lifestyle on Kids 56:02 - Concluding Thoughts and Future Plans 57:31 - Personal Reflections on Training and Health 01:00:16 - The Evolution of Training Methods

In this special 50 Year Legacy Series episode of the Samson Strength Coach Collective, Doug Briggs shares decades of perspective on the evolution of strength and conditioning. Doug breaks down how training philosophies have shifted, the growing focus on injury prevention, and the cultural changes within gyms. Drawing from personal experience, he explains why returning to basic training principles may be essential for developing stronger, more resilient athletes—while honoring the role Samson Equipment has played in shaping training environments over the last 50 years.Key Takeaways:Strength and conditioning has evolved significantly over the past five decades.Injury prevention has become overemphasized at the expense of performance.Training has shifted away from large, compound movements.The late 80s and early 90s marked a turning point in coaching philosophy.Balance-focused training is not universally beneficial.Foundational training methods are regaining importance.Training intensity was higher in previous generations.Gym culture and etiquette have changed dramatically.Anecdotal coaching experience still provides valuable insight.Samson Equipment has played a meaningful role in the 50-year evolution of training spaces.Quote:“We train too much to prevent injuries.”— Doug Briggs

In this episode, we're getting real about money leaks—those sneaky daily and weekly expenses that drain your bank account without you even realizing it. We've been there, done that, and learned the hard way, so we're sharing what we discovered through our own financial journey. Key Moments: Daily & Weekly Money Leaks: Coffee runs and eating out for lunch (we're talking $15-20/day adds up FAST) Impulse buys at gas stations and grocery stores Parking tickets (seriously, just pay the $2 instead of risking a $30 fine) Food delivery fees and tipping on top Grocery shopping without a plan—we used to waste so much food! Subscriptions & Tech: Netflix, Disney+, Prime, Spotify, Apple Music (we literally just realized we were both paying for music services separately!) Gym memberships that never get used (1/3 of gym members are basically donating their money) App subscriptions you forgot about Phone plans that need annual reviews The Big Ones: Vehicles (Chris's hot take: buying brand new is the worst financial decision—you lose 30% the second you drive off the lot) Online shopping and the dopamine hit of "deals" Beauty products and salon services Clothing trends vs. thrift shopping   Chapters: 2:45 - Daily Coffee & Lunch Leaks 8:20 - Grocery Shopping Without a Plan 14:15 - Subscriptions Eating Your Budget 20:30 - The Vehicle Money Trap 26:45 - Our Financial Breaking Point 33:10 - The Year of Monthly Money Meetings 36:50 - Teaching Kids About Money   Let's dive in!

In this episode, the hosts discuss the importance of community and respect in fitness, the balance between open gym culture and group classes, and the future of training trends. They explore the role of technology and AI in fitness, the significance of individualized programs, and the impact of attitude on gym culture. The conversation also touches on morning routines and the rise of jujitsu as a popular form of training.   Takeaways   The main goal of a gym is to help people get healthier. Balancing open gym culture with community is essential. Respect between different training styles fosters a positive environment. Individual design can coexist with group classes if managed well. Setting clear standards helps maintain gym culture. Competitors should respect the space of regular gym-goers. Attitude and respect are crucial in fitness communities. Technology is shaping the future of fitness training. AI can enhance personalized training but should not replace human connection. Morning routines can set the tone for the day.

Welcome to this episode of HALO Talks, where host Pete Moore sits down with Bryce Berry, a New York native whose career led him from Westchester County to the mountains of Salt Lake City, and eventually to building a powerhouse presence in the Gold's Gym franchise network. Bryce shares his entrepreneurial path, starting with the unexpected lessons learned from running Dairy Queen stores, before moving into the health club industry and launching some of the largest and most successful Gold's Gym locations in Colorado, Wyoming, and Washington. From the intricacies of site selection and gym operations to adapting to changing market dynamics and member expectations, Bryce reveals how he's created "rainmaker" clubs by offering standout amenities like expansive weightlifting and cardio areas, basketball courts, racquetball, pickleball, and innovative tanning and recovery services. He digs into the evolving branding landscape of fitness franchises, the role of pricing strategy, and why the Gold's Gym name still carries significant weight in local communities. Listen now to hear Bryce's insights on building thriving gyms, the impact of market trends on business decisions, and how his commitment to quality and member experience is shaping the future of fitness for the next generation of club-goers. Key themes discussed Gold's Gym franchise growth and operations. Site selection strategies for gym locations. Importance of brand recognition in fitness industry. Pricing models and market positioning for gyms. Community amenities: Basketball, pickleball, saunas, recovery. Private equity partnerships and business structure. Adapting gym facilities to trends in strength and cardio equipment. A Few Key Takeaways:  1.Strategic Growth and Site Selection: Bryce talks about his career path from Westchester County to building a network of Gold's Gyms, detailing how he strategically drew a 300-mile radius around his home and used his knowledge from previous business ventures (like a book bindery) to select prime gym locations. His hands-on, boots-on-the-ground approach to site selection set the foundation for successful club launches. 2. Gold's Gym Brand Equity: Bryce highlights the enduring power of the Gold's Gym brand. Despite new competitors and rebranded gyms popping up (such as VASA, EoS, and Fitness Connection), he argues that Gold's still has strong recognition and credibility with consumers. People know Gold's Gym, which translates into excitement, loyalty, and ongoing business success. 3. Mid-Range Pricing Wins: Berry defends the decision to position his clubs in the mid-price range, emphasizing that this "middle" is where the majority of the market is. Instead of chasing ultra-low-cost volume or high-end exclusivity, his strategy is to deliver great value for a reasonable price, which has continually proven successful in the communities he serves. 4. Amenity-Rich, Community-Focused Clubs: The Gold's Gym facilities in Colorado, Wyoming, and Washington are designed as urban or suburban "country clubs" with oversized footprints (some over 50,000 sq ft). Bryce invests heavily in amenities like basketball courts, racquetball, pickleball nights, dry saunas, and top-of-the-line equipment to create a vibrant community feel and cater to a broad clientele. 5. Innovation and Adaptation for Younger Members: Bryce discusses a current trend he's seeing with younger members (especially ages 18–40) favoring strength and cardio equipment, recovery spaces, and high-quality gear such as the Matrix treadmill. He's focused on adapting his clubs to these preferences, particularly with recovery rooms, oversized saunas, and best-in-class equipment—which has helped him attract and retain this growing demographic.

Welcome to the latest episode of L.I.F.T.S, your bite-sized dose of the Latest Industry Fitness Trends and Stories. In this episode, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal sit down with David Sherman-Presser to unpack why the fitness industry is rapidly becoming a media business, and what that means for gym owners, operators, and brands trying to stay relevant in a creator-driven economy. They explore how attention, trust, and audience ownership are now just as important as equipment and square footage, why gyms are increasingly competing with creators rather than other gyms, and how platforms like YouTube are reshaping how fitness businesses are discovered, validated, and scaled. From validating gym concepts online before investing millions, to understanding how long-form content builds trust at scale, this conversation breaks down what it really takes to build a modern fitness brand in 2026 and beyond.

It's a new year ... no new goals ... instead we're focusing upon what NOT to focus upon.In Episode #509 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: what we're not bringing into 2026, expectation inflation (how setting grand scenarios can pre-bake resentment), how to strike a workable balance between Eastern contentment and Western drive, choosing realistic marathon aims without sacrificing other priorities, ditching negative self‑talk, making room for smarter training decisions that prevent injury and burnout and avoiding philosophers/what ifers/haters in the media landscape.

Jody Grunden - Anders CPA On Working Together: "It's only going to help everybody if we can all learn how to get better and faster." Every business owner needs to watch their money.  You watch it come in, go out and hopefully end up with some leftover to make sure you are doing more than just moving money. But not every business is large enough to justify a full-time chief financial officer.  Which leads to a conundrum, how do you get the talented person to help you with the financial end of your business when you don't have enough financial paperwork for them to poke at full time? Jody Grunden saw this need years ago and has built a virtual CFO business that he then sold to Anders CPA.  Jody discusses what a virtual CFO can do and why it is important. Listen as Jody details how the use of a virtual CFO has helped grow many business.  Plus he details the value of standing out.  In his case, with a Hawaiian shirt. Enjoy!

I didn't enjoy accounting and I still don't today. I don't enjoy accounting, but I love the entrepreneur part of it and growing a business and seeing how successful I can get that business and then even more so helping other people be successful running their business, which is, which is even a bigger joy.

Today we are welcoming slash preparing to learn from Jody Grundon of Anders cpa. Which I feel like this is right about the time to start talking taxes. Jody, is that safe to say? Jody Grundon [00:01:00]: I. I guess so. But man, you don't ask me to ask tax questions, that's for sure. James Kademan [00:01:04]: No, so let's just break it down. What is Andrew cpa? Jody Grundon [00:01:09]: Yeah, so Andrew cpa. They're, they're a, one of the largest CPA firms in the nation. They're pretty large. They do a lot of different things, audit, tax. But the, the special that I run is on in what we call the Client Advisory Service Group, which is virtual CFO services. So that's something that, that I founded way back when. It was about 20 some years ago. A lot of CPA firms now you use that type of a service. Jody Grundon [00:01:31]: I actually founded it back, you know, 20 plus years ago. So it's been a great ride. Before it was, before it was even a thing. Yeah, it was one of those, one of those things that there was something called outsourced CFO or outsourced CPA service, which was outsourcing it to a foreign country type of thing. And I'm like, well, that's not what I meant. So I'm trying to figure out how, what can I call it? And I, and so I did. I got the big, the thesaurus, if you remember one of those things. I got one of those things out. Jody Grundon [00:01:55]: I'm like, what could I, what could I name this thing? I thought virtual sounds kind of cool. And, and then my partner's like, well, no one will think you're real. And I'm like, ah, they will. It'll catch on. And back then we had the yellow pages and so we, we did the yellow page Thing didn't really get a whole lot of traction. And then we decided, hey, we're going to go this, do this on the Internet. And so when we did on the Internet, it was kind of cool because nobody else was doing it. So it was one of those things that we are right away number one in the rankings. Jody Grundon [00:02:21]: No, yeah, we. James Kademan [00:02:22]: Back 20 years ago, man, that's. Jody Grundon [00:02:24]: Yeah, yeah. And we have, we, we. We haven't gone far from that. So we're still number one in the rankings today, which is kind of cool. James Kademan [00:02:31]: Be interesting to go back and just visit if you had a time machine or something like that and just visit. What was the Internet like 20 years ago? Jody Grundon [00:02:38]: It was brutal. James Kademan [00:02:39]: No YouTube. I don't even know if Google was around back then. I mean, yeah, totally different world. Jody Grundon [00:02:45]: It was. And it's kind of funny because everybody thought, well, that was. That's a big waste of money. Don't put money in there. Because we, we got out of the yellow page. Yellow page is what accounting firms are always in. Accounting firms, law firms, you name it. You had these big ads, you spent tons of money, and then you just kind of hope people called you. Jody Grundon [00:03:00]: And I didn't have the money back then, so it's like I bootstrapped my own company. So it was one of those things that I just couldn't compete with the big boys. And so the only, only thing we could do is try something different. I thought, hey, this Internet thing sounds great. Let's try it. And yeah. And everybody thought, hey, you're wasting your money. No one's going to call. Jody Grundon [00:03:19]: And the funny part is, nobody called. It took a long time to actually get going and figure it out and get people to realize what virtual CFO even was. It took about, I'd say, probably five to 10 years, really, to. To get a lot of traction for it. James Kademan [00:03:38]: Stick with it for a while. Jody Grundon [00:03:39]: Oh, yeah. It wasn't one of those things. Overnight successes. It was, hey, we started it. And they, they always say, you know, building the plane as it's flying in the air type of thing. That's exactly what we did. It was like, okay, what can we do to make this better? Improve this? And we were not profitable at all for probably eight, eight, nine, ten years of that. It was, it was one of those things. Jody Grundon [00:03:57]: My wife kept asking me, hey, when are we going to do something? You need to get a job? I'm like, no, no, no. Next year's gonna be the perfect year. And then next year coming, there'd be all these obstacles that we we didn't overcome. And then it's like, oh, well, next year will be the best year. And then finally next year ended up being the right year, and it just, it just blew up from there and became super profitable, super high growth. And, you know, we grew it to Gez, probably 10 million bucks or so before we actually sold it to Anders and became part of the, the larger accounting firm. James Kademan [00:04:25]: Gotcha. The irony of the CFO not making money. Jody Grundon [00:04:28]: Right. Yeah, I know. I tell everybody that too. The other irony is I can't, I can't add in my head, oh, wow, you got a CFO that has to use a calculator. Yeah. Which is kind of funny. And, and, and the funny part about that was on my, the very first. So I, I, I speak at a lot of conferences, and the very first conference I was invited to, I was super unprepared. Jody Grundon [00:04:47]: You know, it was one of those things. I just didn't know what to talk about. Here I'm supposed to talk about. Talk to 30 at that time, agency owners and, and teach them how to be profitable and all that kind of stuff. And the guy's like, do not, whatever you do, do not bring a PowerPoint. I'm like, okay, okay, I won't bring a PowerPoint. And I'm thinking, okay, now what do I do? What do I do? And, you know, the funny part about it was my luggage got stuck, got routed to the wrong airport. So I came in. Jody Grundon [00:05:13]: No, no, no luggage. I didn't have anything really to wear other than I had a T shirt. I had shorts and, and, and, and gym. Gym shoes. And I was like, what do I do? And I went to the local mall, bought some stuff, and, and at the time, my credit cards kept getting denied. And I was like, what's going on here? Why are my credit cards getting denied? This is weird. And, and so eventually, I, I, I, I looked across the mall. There was a Tommy Bahama store there. Jody Grundon [00:05:37]: And I thought, oh, that's kind of cool. That's a little different. I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll get some Tommy Bahama stuff, because he, he said, do not be the traditional accountant. I'm like, okay, that's kind of cool. And, but by the time I got, I got done, I was like, the only thing I had left was my debit card, because nothing was working. And so I went to this dinner after the fact and that. And you can imagine, here the finance guy comes in. You know, at that time, I was wearing an Italian Bahama shirt and like, hey, find this guy wearing Italian Bahama shirt. Jody Grundon [00:06:03]: I'm like, hey, I'll get the hors d' oeuvres for 30 business owners here. I'm thinking, this is kind of cool. And I go to pay with my debit card, and guess what? It got denied. I'm like, what the heck?

#303 In this episode, I'm sharing a conversation where I was interviewed by Sumit from Naamly about what truly drives profitability and stability in a gym business. We talk about the biggest mistake gym owners make when it comes to profit, why retention is far more important than most people realize, and the habits that consistently show up in the most successful gyms. We also dig into mindset, not in a fluffy way, but in how it actually plays out in day-to-day financial decisions and leadership choices. One idea I shared that really resonated: operate as if your clients always have one foot out the door. Not from fear, but from responsibility. When you do that, everything from retention to finances gets sharper. This is a grounded, honest conversation for gym owners who want to build a solid foundation and a business they're genuinely proud of. What we cover: The biggest profitability mistake gym owners make Why retention is a financial strategy, not just a metric The daily habits of consistently successful gyms How mindset shows up in cash flow, pricing, and decisions Why assuming clients have one foot out the door leads to better leadership Who this episode is for: Gym owners who want more clarity, better systems, and a business that feels stable — not fragile.

Time to kick the new year off with a new episode of the From the Fabricator podcast!  And since it's a new year, I started with a couple of people new to me and maybe to all of you. I kick it off with Sarah Andreasen, Director of Commercial Excellence at Kawneer.  I had never spoken to Sarah before this; we had only exchanged a couple of messages to set it up, so I was going in cold.  Sarah was wonderful.  Brilliant and down to earth, and her insights from architects to glaziers to available technology.  We covered a wide range of stuff, and I think you'll be impressed.  Just need to get her to BEC now!  Then I talked with Chris Scheiblein, Director, LMCI at IUPAT. Chris brought a ton to the table, especially on things like generational differences on the jobsites, mental health, education, training, and the difference between “Gym shape” and “Work Shape.”  It was very cool to chat and get to know him—really sharp person for sure. Thank you to our episode sponsor- FHC Frameless Hardware CompanyHappy New Year from FHC.During this special time, we all reflect on the previous year and chart the course for the one to come… contemplating the things we should've and could've done differently, and strategize the opportunities to capitalize on to make this new year better.Are you partnered with the right supplier? Does your current vendor have your back?This is the year to challenge the way things have always been done, and to consider doing business with a manufacturing and supplying company that consistently puts glazier's needs ahead of shareholders'.Perhaps this is the year to discover why more and more glaziers, fabricators, and architects are choosing FHC for glass railings, all-glass entrances, and frameless shower door hardware.This is YOUR year, and FHC has your back.You Now Have A Choice… fhc-usa.com From the Fabricator- #Glass and #Glazing hosted by Max Perilstein, Managing Partner of Sole Source Consultants.

In this episode of the Conquer Athlete podcast, Ryan Bucciantini and Jason Leydon discuss the current state of affiliate programming in the fitness industry. They explore how the rise of standardized programming from major companies may be stifling creativity and individuality in gym programming. The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding the specific needs and demographics of gym members, referred to as the 'avatar', and how tailored programming can lead to better outcomes for clients. They also highlight the significance of simplicity in program design, arguing that effective training does not need to be complex. The conversation wraps up with a call to action for gym owners to focus on their ideal clients and create an environment that caters to their needs. Takeaways Affiliate programming may be killing creativity in gyms. Understanding your gym's avatar is crucial for success. Not all gym owners need to write their own programs. Tailored programming leads to better client outcomes. Simplicity in program design is often more effective. The fitness community thrives on variety and creativity.Gym owners should focus on their ideal clients. Negativity in feedback often comes from a loud minority. Effective training doesn't need to be complex. Consistency is key for client success. Topics The Future of Affiliate Programming Understanding Your Gym's Clientele Sound bites "Who is your ideal client?" "Complex doesn't mean good.""Harder doesn't mean better."

Hate the gym/anxiety keeping you sidelined this NYE? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April hacks sustainable fitness for neurodivergent young adults with PJ Glassey, Exercise Science grad (1989), X Gym founder (1998), anti-aging/Alzheimer's expert (59 but looks 39), and Brain Type Test creator. PJ's 21-min workout (2x/week = 7 hrs traditional) tones/defines safely without bulking—invented from client experiments/research, now with Xercise App/online training since 2017. Key insights: Gym aversion fix: Quick/safe method (slow reps/holds for full fatigue—e.g., 7-10 sec pushups, 30-90 sec failure); focus/meditation trains PFC (reps like distractions in beginners). Motivation/discipline: 97% NY resolutions fail (unrealistic expectations); prolong via "why" questions (10-40 answers/post reminders); toward/away (e.g., avoid diabetic fate, become strong). Brain-body link: Exercise oxygenates/BDNF "Miracle-Gro" for cells/pathways; anti-aging/Alzheimer's 5 pillars (exercise/nutrition/hydration/sleep/brain training/relationships—hard ones best for PFC). ND application: Hyperfocus/procrastination? Method's focus counters (no TVs/mirrors/music); injury avoidance (controlled/form); burnout prevention (short sessions, patterns become identity). Brain Type Test: Rewires for success (custom habits/motivation); PJ's biohacking (tower running since 1987, Christian principles for business). For autistic/ADHD young adults ditching resolutions, PJ's vibe: "Change via brain rewiring—not muscling through." Free resources at xgym.com; braintype.me (test/book "Cracking Your Calorie Code").

SHOW NOTES: As the year comes to a close, the pressure to “do more” in January gets louder. Gym memberships, restrictive diets, and 30-day resets promise transformation but often leave women exhausted and discouraged by February. In this final episode of the year, Lori invites you into a different way forward. Instead of chasing another resolution, what if the only thing you committed to this year was faithful stewardship of your body, supported by wisdom and community? In this episode, we talk about: Why most New Year's resolutions fail at the root Why God designed healing and growth to happen in community, not isolation How sustainable health comes from long-term stewardship, not quick fixes This episode reframes health through a biblical lens and introduces Verity Village and coaching as a grounded, grace-filled alternative to the January wellness frenzy.

Like you, I do not have time to sit down and read. Between building a company, travel, staying healthy, and family, quiet reading time is not realistic. But learning still matters.So this year I went all in on audiobooks. Gym. Sauna. Dog walks. Driving. Early mornings. Late nights. And I learned more than I have in years.In this solo foundation episode, I break down the books that shaped how I think about sales, marketing, leadership, money, psychology, and running a tighter dealership operation. For each book, I share what it gets right, a takeaway you can actually use, and how to apply it inside a dealership.Books covered in this episode:12 Rules for Life by Jordan B Peterson$100M Leads by Alex Hormozi$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi$100M Money Models by Alex HormoziCEO Excellence by Carolyn DewarBuy Back Your Time by Dan MartellTrust Me I'm Lying by Ryan HolidayThe Laws of Human Nature by Robert GreeneNever Split the Difference by Chris VossVelocity 2.0 by Dale PollakMagnetic Marketing by Dan KennedyExtreme Ownership by Jocko WillinkAtomic Habits by James ClearGood to Great by Jim CollinsHow to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale CarnegieNext up on my 2026 list:The Goal by Eliyahu M GoldrattThe Advantage by Patrick LencioniCompeting in the Age of AI by Marco Iansiti and Karim R LakhaniThey Ask You Answer by Marcus SheridanTurn the Ship Around by L David MarquetLinks:Sponsor: ⁠dealers.motohunt.com⁠Connect with Jacob: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berry/⁠Check us out on Youtube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit?si=eOzwfr1XoIzQdp9v
