Y'all, Two industry powerhouses I'm absolutely fascinated by – Garrett Marshall and Debra Rogo! Garrett's been shaping our space for 22 years and just launched something that could change everything, while Debra brings her incredible insight from years of working with operators. Together they're solving the biggest challenge in fitness: how do we maintain our position of influence when 90% of our members are on their smartphones buying wellness products we don't offer? Tune in to our conversation with these two industry legends: Episode 666: The Big Picture with Garrett Marshall & Debra Rogo. ● The industry veteran: Started at Lifetime Fitness during their first IPO, learned how each department (personal training, spa, kids care, restaurants) runs on separate P&Ls - real respect for what's possible when you run fitness departments professionally ● WellBeats to Exponential: Co-founded WellBeats (originally Fitness Request) in 2007, then started competitor Fitness on Demand as CEO for 8 years under Lyft Brands, then 5 years as president at Exponential Fitness through another IPO ● The precision health platform: Launched 30 days ago after 18 months of development - designed to bridge fitness and healthcare without the operational nightmare most providers face ● The $5 billion opportunity: Companies like Everly Well, Thorne, HIMS are capturing the post-COVID wellness boom while fitness providers lose influence - consumers have a much broader definition of wellness now ● The practical solution: Curated partnerships (not a marketplace) with leading wellness providers - telehealth, peptides, GLP-1s, hormone replacement, at-home lab tests, precision supplements ● Three value propositions: Data integration to improve programming, product offerings for clients wanting more than fitness, recurring revenue that continues beyond membership length ● Smart partnerships: Hand-selected experts who wake up thinking about peptide therapy and hormone optimization - avoiding the trap of spending 40-50% of resources for 10-20% revenue growth ● The data advantage: Fitness providers get all the wellness data back to personalize programming - understanding that exercise is just one component of their members' broader wellness picture ● What's coming: Mental health telehealth and sleep/recovery services on the fast-follow list - expanding the five non-fitness wellness market segments ● Pre-validated expertise: Cutting through the chase to go directly to specialists who understand microdosing, metabolic health, and cutting-edge therapies your conventional doctor gives you blank stares about The signals are everywhere - walk your gym floor and see the evidence. The question isn't whether wellness and fitness will merge, it's whether our industry will step up to maintain our position of trust and influence. Garrett's built the bridge.

Faith Unfiltered | Chapter 4: Savvy in the StruggleHomelessness doesn't always come with a smell, a look, or a warning. Sometimes, it comes wrapped in strategy, lip gloss, and anointing.In this raw and revealing episode, I share my real-life story of navigating homelessness in Newport Beach—living in my car, raising teenage sons, and showing up daily with lashes on and purpose in my pocket. I expose the assumptions people make about homelessness, how the system failed us, and why I refused to lose my identity in survival.We unpack:​What it means to carry grace in the middle of grit​How I used Lifetime Fitness as a wellness sanctuary​The moment the District Attorney's office showed up because I didn't “look homeless”​And why being judged for your strength is the ultimate backhanded complimentThis isn't rock bottom.This is the refining fire.And I stayed savvy in it.Stay tuned—Chapter 5 drops soon: Breaking the System, Not the Spirit.#FaithUnfiltered #SavvyWifeSavvyLife #HomelessNotHopeless #SurvivalWithStyle #LuxuryInTheStruggleStay connected:Tonyia | Founder & CEO, The Savvy Lifestyle Lounge®

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Choosing the right gym environment can make or break your personal training career. After visiting nearly 50% of all Equinox locations and 15 Lifetime facilities across the country, I've gained unique insights into which premium fitness giant might offer the better path for ambitious trainers.The differences are striking. While Equinox offers brand prestige and exclusivity, they cap trainer rates around $175/hour regardless of experience or demand. Lifetime, with their expansive facilities featuring everything from water slides to extensive wellness areas, allows trainers to charge whatever the market will bear—some reaching $250+ per hour within their first year.Beyond compensation structures, the cultural environment varies dramatically. Equinox trainers often operate in a competitive atmosphere where interaction between colleagues is minimal. Lifetime fosters a more collaborative culture where networking happens naturally. This distinction impacts both job satisfaction and client acquisition potential.What truly matters is developing the complete package: technical expertise, business acumen, and exceptional people skills. The 90% of trainers who fail within their first year typically lack supervised experience and the confidence to command premium rates. Success requires investment in your education through quality certification programs that teach practical skills rather than just theory.No matter which environment you choose, approach your role with professionalism and confidence. Remember that clients aren't rejecting your rates because they can't afford you—they're indicating they don't see sufficient value. When you deliver transformative results and communicate your worth effectively, you can command fees that might seem impossible to less qualified trainers.Ready to elevate your training career?

Become a QUALFIEID certified personal trainer with SUF-CPT the fastest growing certification ONLINE w/hands-on learning with our partnership with Life Time Fitness. The personal training industry just received a massive wake-up call. The United Arab Emirates has banned several major fitness certifications—including ACE, NASM, and ISSA—for lacking hands-on, practical learning components. This groundbreaking decision highlights what many industry veterans have known for years: there's a vast difference between being certified and being qualified.What would you think of a surgeon who planned to "fake it till they make it" with your body? Yet this is precisely the mindset many newly certified trainers adopt after completing textbook-only certifications. The statistics tell a troubling story—70,000 new trainers enter the industry annually, with nearly 90% obtaining their credentials through text-based, multiple-choice exams. Perhaps this explains why 90% quit within their first year.The certification crisis creates a predictable pattern: trainers study theoretical concepts, pass an exam, proudly display their credentials, then face crippling impostor syndrome when dealing with actual clients. Many respond by accumulating more certifications rather than seeking the supervised, practical experience they desperately need. This cycle of theoretical knowledge without application leaves trainers unprepared for real-world challenges like conducting proper assessments, designing effective programs, and communicating value to potential clients.Quality training education should mirror other professional fields like medicine and law—combining theoretical knowledge with rigorous practical application under expert supervision.

Today's Thursday . . . so that means another HALO Talks-Fast Break! Integrity Square Founder and HALO Talks host Pete Moore, dives deep into the mergers and acquisitions current landscape in the HALO sector, highlighting key movements that will shape the industry for the next five years. Pete discusses the sale of five companies from one private equity firm to another, including the announced sale of Crunch Fitness by the TPG Group. He explores the strategic decisions around debt, risks akin to those faced during COVID by companies like YouFIT and Gold's Gym, and the financial benchmarks set by giants such as Planet Fitness and Lifetime Fitness. Pete also touches on two rapidly expanding sunbelt chains and area developers in the Northeast and Southeast. Tune in to understand how these fastbreak deals will set the tone for the future of the HALO sector. Go HALO! A few key takeaways:  1. Upcoming Private Equity Transactions: There are five significant companies in the sector that are set to be sold from one private equity firm to another. These transactions will be instrumental in setting the tone of the industry for the next five years. 2. Crunch Fitness Sale: The sale of Crunch, currently owned by TPG Group, is one such anticipated deal. It's predicted that the sale will aim for a multiple just under the 20 times EBITDA that Planet Fitness enjoys. 3. Debt Considerations: Another key point is how much debt will be used in these acquisitions. The amount of debt can impact the risk level of the business, especially if another unforeseen black swan event like COVID reoccurs. 4. Growth and Expansion: Two fast-growing chains in the Sunbelt region and substantial Northeast and Southeast franchises are also in play, showing a strong trend toward growth and expansion in the sector. 5. Public Company Benchmarks: Public companies like Planet Fitness trading at 20 times EBITDA provide a benchmark for private deals, influencing how these private equity transactions are structured and valued.

Chelsea acquired her degree from the University of Kentucky and spent the early years of her career as the regional dietitian for Lifetime Fitness. At that time Dr. Huber was contracted to providing monthly education to the trainers on weight loss, exercise, and the path for engaging an integrative approach to health. Chelsea joined Dr. Huber's practice in 2013 and went on to develop a corporate health program that she currently operates with great success. Chelsea has expanded her knowledge base into the full spectrum of integrative medicine which includes adrenal fatigue, thyroid balance, hormone balance, heavy metal detox, allergy therapies, and more. Her well rounded view of health allows her to see medical issues that are often overlooked by narrow focused specialists. Chelsea was asked to respond with brief answers to the top 10 nutritional questions that impact your health. This was intended to be a quick hit, rapid fire discussion and not an in depth analysis of all of this issues but we will let you be the judge as to whether we hit the mark. Have fun and enjoy our lively romp through food. Food and nutrition is essentially very simple but if you want to make it complicated you can. When you look for modern processed convenience you are inviting complications and problems. There is no ONE perfect diet – you can eat Vegan or Carnivore and everything in between and find good health if you know what you are doing. There is no ONE SIZE fits all but there are trends that hold true: Low carb is usually best, healthy fats support longer life, fasting in general is a great tool. How you apply all of this is individualized and this is where the confusion creeps in.

A must see: Jim LaValle, mentor to Dr Pinkston provides a comprehensive view health, anti-aging and weight loss from a perspective not often offered in todays commercial, instant gratification mainstream. If you want to begin again or you feel you have come a long way, but can't reach your health goals, Jim LaValle and his wealth of knowledge and available tools can lead you to the right path. Named Chief Science Officer with Lifetime Fitness, the program offered will open access to the tools and resources you need to reach those goals of health and wellbeing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's episode dives into the power of breathwork. Jesse Bennett is a children's book author, wellness expert, and Yoga and Pilates teacher. She is trained in both prenatal and kids yoga and has been teaching for over 20 years. Her mission is to inspire kids to believe in their power to make the world a kinder, gentler place. Jesse is the author of four children's books, The Yoga House, Sunshine, Lift, and Ripple – all written and illustrated by her. Each book considers the power of kindness, encouraging children and parents to be good to themselves and to one another. Her first book, The Yoga House (Archway, September 2018), was inspired by her children, who were having trouble sleeping. She began doing guided meditations and breathing with them to assist in their sleep. The additional books in her series include Sunshine (Archway, May 2019), Lift (Archway, October 2020), and Ripple (Archway, January 2023). Her kids mean the world to her, and the books are all about helping children grow up loving who they are, choosing kindness towards themselves, marching to their own beat, and believing they are limitless. Today, Jesse teaches Yoga and Pilates at Lifetime Fitness, and is the in-house wellness expert at Good Day Sacramento. Jesse currently resides in Roseville, California with her dog and two kids. When she's not teaching yoga or Pilates, she starts the morning in sunny doing her skincare routine, lighting a candle, and stepping on her yoga mat for her personal practice, ending with a meditation.
