Monica the instructor, and bikes that go nowhere awakened his love of movement and nothing was ever the same after that.He began teaching various fitness formats and during his last college year heard about a new boutique studio opening and he applied to be front desk and instructor. It just so happened to be the very first CycleBar. Nick immediately fell in love with the community and after graduating in 2015 he joined the original CycleBar Franchising corporate team, taking the brand from 3 locations to the international brand it is today.As a FitPro Nick made his mark in the Cincinnati fitness scene as what was known as a CycleStar in those days, at Shred415 and other local studios.His experience both as a FitPro and working in Operations as he helped others open studios across the country gave him unique insight into the do's and don'ts of studio ownership.He knew early on that being an instructor would never be enough and studio ownership was his destiny. From investors, to partnerships that dissolved, to the increasingly high costs of opening a studio Nick was derailed from his dream time and time again but he did not give up. In February of 2023 Nyxx Studio opened in the community that raised this resilient FitPro. They offer rhythm based cycling classes and strength classes coming Spring 2024. This handsome redhead will take his Venti Black Iced Coffee with extra ice and he will help you FUCK IT UP when you walk through his studio doors.It is an honor to welcome Nick Melnyk to the Creating The 4% Podcast this week!Learn more about NYXX Cycle + Strength:https://nyxx-cyclestrength.com/Connect with Nick & Studio on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nyxx_cyclestrength/https://www.instagram.com/nmariomel/?hl=en

The day Bassey Eno-Idem's brother passed away at 28 from diabetes complications, Bassey also lost his best friend. Out of the grief, he rooted himself in the desire to not let fear or his own insecurities dictate his future. On episode 131, Bassey shares how he transitioned from mechanical engineer to sales leader and entrepreneur. In 2018, he and his wife, Jess, began the process of opening a Shred415 fitness studio. Everything was in place for Bassey to quit his corporate career and run the studio full-time, and then the pandemic hit. By relying on his engineering skillset, he pivoted, and they still found success.

I can't actually remember seeing one without the other. I've also learned to look at them as eager collaborators and mentors, but I'm willing to bet a lot of people in fitness do.On this episode you'll hear a lot about the workout at Shred415, and the business of running a franchise. But what's more inferred is the most important part about this pair - their relationship. It's clear that their bond keeps them connected as leaders, allowing them someone to celebrate with when things are good, and someone to lean on when things aren't going as planned. Read: a global pandemic.This duo explain their origin story on this week's episode of #WeGotGoals, but more than that, you'll hear them get real about what it takes to open a studio and scale it. You'll hear about the long days, and the hard parts - like those first few months when they were hoping they were onto something at Shred415, but didn't have the sign-ups to prove it yet. You'll also hear about the good times, like seeing their big dreams come to life, and taking their concept from corporate-only to franchising. They're masters of bootstrapping, which they talk about, going from one studio to a second when they literally could not support another human in class. In the early days, when there was no room for a marketing budget, they figured it out, leveraged the power of Facebook before we all met and learned to loathe *the algorithm* and, even more importantly, they learned to leverage the power of moms who loved the kids room and were building friendships in the walls of Shred415. They've also created, by the way, a workout people love that gets them moving on treadmills and lifting weights on benches. As a workout, it has introduced so many people to strength training who maybe wouldn't have lifted heavy weights otherwise.You'll hear on the episode from aSweatLife ambassador Cathy Mekondo who shares why she's taken more than 100 Shred415 classes.And before recording this episode, I looked back through the archives for this piece of history on aSweatLife, but I took my very first Shred415 class early in the days of aSweatLife, September 11, 2012, to be exact. And I wrote about it at-length, I'm pretty sure I described every single movement we did in that class.Here are a few of my favorite takeaways:“Maybe it was me, but the last set on the benches had me counting the minutes until the end as the instructor threw in burpees.” I can read my sneer through the lines, listener. I had just met burpees before I took shred, and I did not like them.“The instructor had to work as hard as the class to keep it going, keeping time and calling out the changing exercises. He also had to adjust the TRX straps between sets. It didn't look easy, but he did a great job.” And that's true - instructors in SHRED415 classes have to do a lot of work to manage their classes, especially when they're full. Remember, you can get 2 free SHRED415 classes to use in a week in Chicagoland, Indianapolis and St Louis.

When we kicked off Season 3 of #WeGotGoals, we set out to walk the walk by setting small goals within each quarter of this goal-focused podcast to curate guests who are doing big things in the areas which we care most about. For instance, over the last few months we brought community building to the forefront of our goal focus. We interviewed grassroots community developers like the founder of Sofar Sounds and community director of Girls Night In. We brought guests like Shanna Missett Nelson, President of Jazzercise, and Bonnie Michele and Tracy Roemer who started Shred415 together, onto the podcast to talk about scaling a small community into a global phenomenon. We caught up with professional adventurer Hilaree Nelson about the role community plays in going after big solo goals, and Coss Marte, founder of ConBody, on the meaning of community after solitary confinement. And as we head into the next quarter, we're just as excited for our next round-up of guests and the theme we're setting major goals to focus on: creating a better earth. All four of the #WeGotGoals podcast hosts are well aware of how big of an issue we're taking on. With statements as clearly defined as the United Nations's declaration that “Climate Change is the defining issue of our time and we are at a defining moment," we couldn't not dedicate at least a quarter of our year to highlighting what highly successful entrepreneurs are doing to better our earth. And at the same time that we focus on the macro, we're taking the next few months to focus on what we can do on a micro scale to have a more positive impact on the environment around us. In this host-ful podcast episode to kick it all off, listen to the hosts are setting goals to do to build in eco-friendly habits into their daily lives. Like Kristen, who wants to reduce her plastic waste at the grocery store in a few key ways, or Maggie who wants to bring her reusable wood cutlery with her to avoid taking plastic silverware during all her lunches out.  Jeana would like to eliminate as much meat and dairy from her diet as possible (one of the biggest ways to reduce your impact on the earth), and Cindy plans to use her newly purchase Divvy membership to bike anywhere within five miles of her home for the foreseeable future. We're eager to hear: what small ways do you implement eco-friendly practices to your daily life? How do you integrate them in a way that feels natural? What else would you like to try to do that you haven't set as a goal yet? We're so excited to kick off this new quarter of #WeGotGoals with you! You can catch up on the last season of community builders wherever you get your podcasts, like aSweatLife.com, iTunes, and Spotify. And if you wouldn't mind leaving us a little love in a rating or a review, we'd really appreciate it.

Stories from Franchisees & Founders.   In this episode, we are with Tracy and Bonnie of Shred415. Even with the difference in where they came from, in both place and profession, they shared a passion for fitness that brought them together and built Shred415.   Tracy was from California and wanted to be a dietitian, but then became more interested in fitness. Bonnie was a computer consultant, who had always been passionate about fitness.  The two met in Lincoln Park, Chicago and became the best of friends and started building Shred415. Since the beginning, both have always thought that this is going to grow and they have worked their way up because they never had a plan B.   Tune in now and join us as Tracy and Bonnie bring learning and inspiration through their experiences in building this franchise.   What we talk about: Tracy's background Recognizing what is good for the community Bonnie's background The vision of growing and having more than one Keeping a simple model from the beginning The work of slowly building up Catering to different types of groups Having the franchisees follow the playbook Building the culture organically Building a system for growth Communication, trust, and have each other's and the business' best interest are vital keys to partnership Make sure to closely look into the market you are entering   What we mention: Shred415, by Tracy and Bonnie Billy Blanks

Bonnie Micheli and Tracy Roemer - co-founders of Shred415 - are sort of a package deal. Together, they go by Bonnie and Tracy, populating a shared Instagram under the name with photos of the two of them, sharing an office where each sits under their first initial, taking vacations with their families together. In fact, it was during this interview that I realized that I had not ever pronounced their last names aloud. And at aSweatLife, we use a style that was beaten into me in Journalism School - spelling out a full name and listing a title on first mention (Bonnie Micheli and Tracy Roemer - co-founders of Shred415) and then referring to that person by their last name from that point forward. And although I will follow that style, I must note how difficult it's going to be, which is a true win for the pair who have successfully branded themselves by their first names together and created a world for themselves built around fitness. "I think we're sisters at this point," Micheli said of the pair that met in line at Starbucks and bonded over their shared love of fitness. Roemer spent her early career at Bally Total Fitness, creating a new focus on lifestyle within the former fitness giant, but when life brought her to Chicago, she worked at PowerPlate in their studio and eventually was the General Manager of David Barton Gym. Micheli had just started teaching Barre at Dailey Method, although her deep passion for fitness fueled her through her early career as a traveling computer programmer. Together, they bonded over their shared love of fitness and their desire to create a treadmill and strength training format. And eight years ago when Micheli and Roemer opened their first Shred415 location, Roemer recalls where the fitness industry was: fitness fanatics were committed to their routines, but not to their gyms. Those who wanted to do their favorite fitness classes bought class-packs, not memberships. A departure from big-box gyms and their commitment-focused memberships. "Everything comes back full-circle," Roemer mused. "I feel like we're back in this full-circle cycle where we started with big box gyms and people were paying memberships ... there's a lot more competition in the playing field now and we've all come back to trying to capture our clients and have recurring revenue and memberships." And lot of other elements have changed through the near-decade of Shred415. The pair can now count themselves as franchisors. As the brand first grew, it was corporate-owned - a model in which one controlling entity invests in and opens all locations. That's a slower way to grow, especially as the Shred415 community called for expansion outside of Chicago. "We were receiving emails from people across the country wanting us to get to their city, their town, their state," Roemer remembers. But after winning EY Entrepreneur of the Year in 2015, Micheli and Roemer made a life-changing connect with OrangeTheory founder Ellen Latham who talked them through franchising and how it can supercharge their nationwide growth. Today, you can find Shred415 across the nation, run by franchisees who fell in love with the brand and even some who started as instructors in Chicago and took the brand with them to other cities and states. At the heart of this expanding empire, though, are two friends who were lucky enough to meet in line at a coffee shop and somehow managed to find their perfect match in business. "The second we worked together it was such an incredible partnership from day one, we, just have each others' best interests in mind," Micheli said. Find Shred415 locations nationwide, and soon globally. Work out with Bonnie and Tracy on the SweatWorking App and if you already love Shred415 and want to open one yourself, you can find out more about franchising here.

Bonnie Micheli and Tracy Roemer are the co-founders and owners of Shred415, a total body workout franchise system. Bonnie and Tracy met as young moms during a playdate in their Chicago neighborhood alley, the two began reminiscing on the past and their fitness hobbies. Frustrated between being a busy parent and the lack of sweat-worthy boutique fitness options that catered to their needs, the duo put together their 25 combined years of fitness experience and began mapping out a vision that combined all elements of a dynamic, effective workout that provided results.   Key Takeaways: [0:22] Today’s episode of Franchise Euphoria is brought to you by The Franchise 5 package. Head over to franchiseeuphoria.com/franchise5 to learn more! [1:01] Josh introduces today’s guests, Bonnie Micheli and Tracy Roemer, the cofounders of Shred415, a boutique fitness concept that has just started their franchising efforts. [2:32] Josh welcomes Bonnie and Tracy to Franchise Euphoria. [3:08] Tracy quickly recaps the story of how she met Tracy and what caused the two to bond. [5:06] In 2010, Tracy and Bonnie recognized the lack of treadmill and strength studios in such a large metropolitan area in Chicago. Seeing their opportunity, they opened their first Shred415 location in 2011. [8:12] Part of the design of their program is making sure everybody feels included and not intimidated by the atmosphere. [10:47] Having a business partner that had the same vision as you for your dream really helped propel Shred415 to fruition. [13:20] After seven years of business, Shred415 now has almost 20 locations, which is a fairly accelerated rate of growth for their industry. [14:27] The second Shred415 location came about to be an overflow location for their main facility due to the fact that they were experiencing 100% sign up rates and an unimaginable wait list for their classes. [18:35] Even though membership was few and far between in the beginning, they were still getting a lot of press in the early months, and as soon as people started seeing results, customers started showing up. [21:09] Early on, Tracy and Bonnie weren’t sure how to go about bringing in employees to Shred415. They started with an ad on Craigslist, and although they only brought on one person from that ad, he is still with them today and just purchased three franchises from them. [25:02] The toughest part about franchising their business was shifting their focus to dealing with corporate managers to franchisees, which requires a different level of attention since they are investing so much more in the business. [28:56] Shred415 is open to opening locations all across the US with new locations coming in California, Denver, Memphis, and more.
