Josh York has always been passionate about fitness. One day, while working as a fitness trainer, he realized that there is one common pitfall that prevents most people from achieving their fitness goal - a lot of people are just too busy to find time to go to the gym. Then, it hits him. Why doesn't he put gym equipment in a van and bring it to the customers instead? This way, people can get high-quality personal training from anywhere they want! A lot of successful people told him his business idea was stupid and full of holes. But that never stopped Josh from pursuing his passion. Now, GYMGUYZ is the fastest-growing personal fitness brand, with more than 250 locations generating over $100M in revenue each year.In this interview, Josh sits down with Ryan Atkinson to talk about the business mindset, leadership quality, and networking skills you need to grow your business. They also talk about how pain & discomfort are crucial to building your mental strength, how to deal with self-doubt, and how to find the courage to start. Just like Josh, a lot of us are sitting down with business ideas and never really find the guts to execute them. Maybe this is the last piece of motivation that we need.Takeaways- Josh started Gym Guys with a van and workout gear.- The concept was to bring fitness to clients' locations.- Initial marketing involved old-school methods like handing out flyers.- Building relationships was key to acquiring clients.- Fortune favors the bold; taking action is crucial.- Mistakes are valuable lessons in entrepreneurship.- Franchising began after seven years of operation.- Pain and resilience are essential for success.- Experiencing discomfort helps build mental strength.- Focus on the process, not just the end result.Tags: Business Mindset, Service & Consulting, Business Ideas, Business Leadership, Personal Fitness, NetworkingResources:Start Your Business Today: https://links.upflip.com/4d8Hxvy Connect with Josh: https://franchise.upflip.com/gym-guyz/

Today on Eye on Franchising we have an individual that works to be number 1 in everything that he does and GYMGUYZ is no different.Josh York started the GYMGUYZ business in 2008. However, it was many years prior that he began creating the path that would lead to a successful mobile personal training business. It was during his high school days of playing hockey that he developed a passion for fitness. He made the connection that being physically fit helped him perform better on the ice and feel great at the same time. Josh fulfilled his passion for health and fitness by working as a personal trainer in gyms on Long Island while earning his bachelor's degree.In 2007, after graduating from college, Josh began working for a marketing firm and continued working as a personal trainer in the evenings. It was on one of these evenings at the gym that something clicked. He noticed that gym members were inconsistent. They had too many excuses not to show up at the gym and work out. Whether his clients were working late, unable to leave the house after a busy day, or just needed to get dinner on the table, Josh realized that there are dozens of rational reasons why many people aren't consistent gym-goers. This is when he started developing a solution.BRINGING IDEAS TO LIFETapping into his creativity, his professional background in marketing, and his solid knowledge of health and fitness, Josh decided to launch his own company. He would offer an experience that was completely different by bringing customers a unique service: a mobile fitness company that comes to the setting of your choice. GYMGUYZ was invented, with a fully equipped van containing weights, resistance equipment, body bars, and so much more. The personal trainers would develop personalized exercise and nutrition programs designed to ensure clients achieve their fitness goals.Josh created GYMGUYZ from an idea and, like many great entrepreneurs, he started the GYMGUYZ business in his parents' house in 2008. The dining room became a mini GYMGUYZ office. He started with a vision, a laptop, and one van. He conducted business at the dining room table with a cordless phone and one folder with a few client names.Josh was not only running the business, but he was training the clients as well. When not training his clients, Josh drove the GYMGUYZ van every day, up and down the Long Island Expressway, in an effort to market the GYMGUYZ brand and attract new clients. Soon that one folder became multiple files, and the dining room became crowded with file cabinets, a printer, a fax machine, and marketing materials.As soon as Josh got all the steps in place to franchise his business and during his first vacation since the business began he sold his first franchise. And he hasn't looked back since.Check out GYMGUYZ here https://www.gymguyz.com/Have you heard the news? We are officially on YouTube.
