Got to chat with Alwyn Cosgrove-Owner of Results Fitness in Santa Clarita California-Mentor -Author -International Speaker

Whenever I have longtime friends on my podcast, I struggle to introduce them because I realize just how important they are to me. Alwyn Cosgrove is a household name in the fitness industry. As the owner of Results Fitness and Results University, he also holds the special title as my bridesman. In this episode we had a very open, honest conversation about how the role of a fitness professional has changed with the current state of the world. The skills required to stand out from the crowd aren't things taught in the gym. We talked speaking, program design, pricing yourself what you are worth, and how the coach and client relationship has changed. We wrapped up by talking about how coaches need coaches, and by not wanting to hire someone to overlook your own training/nutrition, it shows you maybe don't believe in your own product. We discuss the importance of that.

Recorded during the California wildfires, CEO of Results Fitness, https://www.resultsfitnessuniversity.com/alwyncosgrove (Alwyn Cosgrove), is one of the most respected fitness experts in the world — on top of being a business coach, https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Successful-Program-Design-How/dp/1492593222/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&qid=1600790133&refinements=p_27%3AAlwyn+Cosgrove&s=books&sr=1-1 (author), and speaker. Host Nick Nanton and Alwyn discuss the reason why Alwyn first got into Tae Kwon Do, how his entrepreneurial mindset spurned the idea of becoming a gym owner, and the rule of threes — that if you complain about something three times, you're the person that needs to fix it or stop complaining. Nick and Alwyn also discuss writing the methodology to scale and differentiate his business, how one decision in business can change everything — aka the ripple effect, and either hiring an expert to help you — or becoming said expert.  Timestamps:1:38: Growing up in Scotland 5:21: Putting in extra grit builds character in entrepreneurs  8:51: From working in a gym to deciding to own a gym 13:12: Opening the gym with his wife and business partner 15:57: What made Results Fitness different 21:43: Alwyn's fight with Stage IV cancer 26:35: Alwyn's gym in California has been shut down for six months due to COVID-19 32:46 Utilizing culture metrics to hold his team accountable — and methodologies on culture Resources:https://www.resultsfitnessuniversity.com (Results Fitness) https://twitter.com/alwyncosgrove?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (Alwyn on Twitter) https://www.instagram.com/alwyncosgrove/?hl=en (Alwyn on Instagram) Connect With Nick Nanton:http://www.nicknanton.com/ (Website) https://www.facebook.com/Nicknanton (Facebook) http://twitter.com/nicknanton (Twitter) https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicknanton (LinkedIn) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWOvnpNMTX4pKVIi234pOTg (YouTube)

Elias is the membership director over at Results Fitness in Santa Clarita California. Spending years studying people in varias areas of focus, he is extremely skilled at reading people's personalities, personas, or vibes if you will. In this podcast we talk about how he has created a system in which to break down what many people do intuitively when first meeting a prospective new member or client. He goes over the way in which he breaks down people's characteristics into four archetypes and then uses those archetype qualities to connect on a personal level so that everyone feels listened to and understood. Elias has an insane amount of passion; my favorite quote from this podcast is "Thats what we are doing in the fitness industry. Were not helping people lose weight you’re helping people save their marriages, you’re saving them from heart attacks you’re making them confident in the board room you’re making them confident in PTA meetings you’re making them dominate their field. If you understand this is what you’re doing for people it becomes so much easier to find the value in what you’re giving."

Many guys devote so many hours to lifting weight yet end up with so little to show for it. In many cases the problem is simple: they aren't doing exercises based on the movements their bodies were designed to do. Six basic movements - the squat, deadlift, lunge, push, pull and twist - use all of the body's major muscles. And, more important, they use those muscles in coordinated action, the way they were designed to work. The New Rules of Lifting, now in paperback and with more than one hundred photographs, gives you more than a year's worth of workouts based on these six basic movements. Whether you're a beginner, an experienced lifter looking for new challenges, or anything in between, you can mix and match the workouts to help you get bigger, stronger and leaner. In addition, the comprehensive nutritional information provided makes The New Rules of Lifting a complete guide to reaching all your goals. If you aren't using The New Rules of Lifting, you aren't getting the best possible results.

They are on a mission to “Change The Way Fitness Is Done.” Listen To Episode 040 As Rachel Uncovers How Club operators can deal with overwhelm at the intersection of technology and fitness business operations As a club operator why if you're not delegating, you're being selfish Where to start if a club owner is feeling overwhelmed by depending on your core values  Understanding the new member orientation process and which category the client falls into:  Look better  Feel better  Perform better Understanding the personality types of the new client:  outgoing, introvert, ect Why at Results Fitness, Rachel and her staff send clients an email breakdown of their heart rate training zones after each session or class Why at Results Fitness, Rachel and her staff use handwritten cards and personally written emails for a higher level of service and client experience How beyond giving a phenomenal workout experience, why a personality matrix to understand the type of communication a new member wants and what type of personality they have will create a loyal fitness customer How Rachel uses Facebook to engage current members with "club bucks" and attract new members How to use Facebook to increase the digital literacy of members 50+ Why Rachel specializes in working with women and communication in the fitness industry  Why heading into IHRSA with a game plan will be yield more success when researching and discovering new technology platforms for clubs How Rachel transitioned from being a trainer to a business operator: what systems and change were involved Top 3 Takeaways From The Show Rachel reminds us that when it comes to fitness and technology, change is inevitable. It's part of growth and it's part of running a business. If you're not somebody who embraces change and who really wants to find a better way constantly then you're not going to be in business for too long.  The new member orientation process is pivotal in securing a long-term customer.  Rachel believes that using a combination of personality typing and personalized communication via heart rate monitors, intimate emails sent after workouts, as well as speaking to the new member in the language they most understand will create a loyal customer who becomes an advocate for your fitness facility. As successful club owners like Rachel take a deeper look into the technology solutions that are rapidly entering our space, it's not just about collecting data for data sake. What's most important is that we collect data with the primary intention of constantly improving and enriching the customer experience. Power Quotes From Rachel  "If you're not delegating responsibility to your staff and trying to run everything on your own, you're actually keeping your team from stepping into roles that they can accel at and bring even more value to your company. When you choose to not let go and have your staff take over the roles they deserve, you're essentially being selfish as an operator."  - Rachel Cosgrove on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "Change is inevitable, it's part of growth and running a business. If you're not somebody who embraces change and who really wants to find a better way constantly, then you're not going to be in business for too long." - Rachel Cosgrove on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "Members are craving personal connection now more than ever. If we ever start to get replaced by online trainers, artificial intelligence or an app, then the truth is we must elevate our game." - Rachel Cosgrove on the Fitness + Technology Podcast Resources Mentioned From Rachel  Result Fitness on the web  Rachel Cosgrove on LinkedIn Rachel Cosgrove on Facebook Rachel Cosgrove on Twitter Rachel Cosgrove on the web Rachel on IDEA Fitness Rachel on LIVESTRONG Thomas Plummer - Fitness Industry Consultant Zappos Company Culture: Creating Core Values Jim Collins: Good To Great Delivering Happiness: Tony Shea, Zappos How Successful People Think: John Maxwell  Mind Body Software In-Body FitMetrics Skipio Texting Application Perform Better Series Fitness Business Summit IHRSA Bedros Keuilian: Fitness Business   The 2017 FIT-C Tech Trends Report Results Fitness University Bobby Cappuccio: Fitness + Technology Podcast Episode 027 Thanks To Our Outstanding Sponsors Bryan O’Rourke and his family of companies including Vedere Ventures, Integerus Advisors, and many more.

Because gym owners almost always love coaching, it’s easy to fall into the trap of wanting to do all the hands-on stuff yourself. You love your work, so why would you want to let anyone else take over? This week, we talk to Alwyn Cosgrove of Results Fitness to find the compelling answer to that question. We were thrilled to have the chance to sit down with Alwyn, because he was one of the first people to really convince us of the merits of systemizing our own business. Alwyn helped us explore some of the reasons we choose not to delegate our work or simplify it with systems. A lot of times we think of handing over a task as a form of ‘giving up.’ Alwyn’s response is that “It’s not about idleness. It’s not about stepping out to be lazy. It’s about what if you had to? Could you?”  When Alwyn was diagnosed with stage-four cancer, he very quickly figured out how to get all the systems in place that were necessary for his gym to operate optimally in his absence.   “I had to move in at UCLA to have a stem cell transplant, right? We had insurance because of the gym, but your bills at home… You still have to pay your rent or your mortgage. You still have to pay your car payment. You still have to pay for everything, right? How do you create a business that runs without you? That’s what you should be doing in the first place.” Alwyn’s gym underwent a thorough systemization under circumstances that were far from ideal. But it worked. In fact, he jokes that he must have been the jam in the system, because business boomed while he was gone. As a result of the groundwork he laid years ago, Alwyn is now able to focus on refining his systems and getting incredible results. Some of his members, for example, have been with his gym for 17 straight years, with the average membership running in the seven-to-ten-year range. Ideally, the only reason someone would chose not to renew their membership is that they’ve moved out of the area entirely. Otherwise, he wants to be the last gym his members will ever join.

In the months before her retirement, Sue Albert was worried that she may not survive to enjoy her golden years. She spent a lifetime in nursing, and ended her career as the dean of a health department at a California college. But Sue was burned out and sick. She had neglected her own health needs and was overweight, hypertensive and physically challenged. She decided to join a gym and, albeit reluctantly, embarked on a life-changing – possibly life-saving – workout regime. This week Sue heads to Belarus to compete in the World Powerlifting Championships. LLAMA host Peter Bowes met Sue at her gym, Results Fitness, in Newhall, California, for an inspiring conversation about her new-found youth and vitality. She reveals the secret to her physical and mental transformation - swapping her “can’t do” attitude for the mindset of a champion weightlifter.

In episode 28 of the LTB Podcast, Stuart chats to Alwyn Cosgrove from Results Fitness in California. Alongside discussing his why for what he does, Alwyn tells us: - How we need to rethink the way we think about asking our clients for money - What lifetime customer value (LCV) is and what this means to us trainers - Why he feels Results Fitness has done as well as it has - Why knowing your businesses core values is so important and how you can make a start to creating these

Alwyn Cosgrove @alwyncosgrove is one of the most respected fitness professionals on the globe and someone who I consider a friend and mentor. I knew when I put the mics on that this episode would be an instant classic and a conversation that we couldn’t complete in 30 minutes. I was right! We had such an amazing time talking about fitness, business and philosophy of living life to the fullest that we had to break it into 2 parts. In the first 1/2 we discuss how Alwyn created his training philosophy and built business systems that turned Results Fitness into one of the most successful gyms in America. We also tackle a controversial subject while discussing the business of being a great presenter and why it has become a male dominated field. You may be surprised to hear why there are only a handful of female presenters on the fitness seminar circuit including his wife, Rachel Cosgrove, who is one of my favourites! Results Fitness is all about getting results! Alwyn and I discuss weight loss and what is the driver behind the desire to lose weight. If you don’t get down to the “why” you will never truly get the results. We also share tips for new trainers that want to make the fitness industry a career instead of being a stepping stone to your next job. All this and more in this 1st part of t a 2 parter that is guaranteed to be one of the years most downloaded episodes! Enjoy It!

It’s Spartan World Championships Week. And this week we talk to two Spartan World Championships competitors with completely different stories! We start by debuting our new Seasoned Firsts segment. This segment features people who are stepping outside their comfort zones to try new challenges for the very first time. Whether it’s a race, event, competition or new sport, we want to know what drives these people to challenge themselves in this new way. Today we introduce 48-year old Julie Jensen, who is competing in her very first Spartan Race at the notoriously difficult Spartan Race World Championships in Lake Tahoe. In our main interview, we talk to 43-year old Rachel Cosgrove of Santa Clarita, California. Rachel owns and operate Results Fitness, named one of the top ten gyms in the US by Men’s Health Magazine. She’s the best-selling author of The Female Body Breakthrough and Drop Two Sizes. In 2012, Rachel earned the title of IDEA Personal Trainer of the Year. She has competed as a triathlete, a powerlifter, and in the last year, she made a name for herself as a competitive obstacle course racer. Some of Rachel’s recent OCR stats include earning a 3rd place Masters finish at EPIC Series in 2017, a 3rd place age group finish at the 2017 Big Bear Spartan Beast, 2nd in the 40-49 age group at the 2018 SoCal Spartan, and 3rd place in the 40-49 age group at the 2018 Big Bear Spartan Beast, which also punched her ticket to the 2018 Spartan World Championships as an age group competitor.
