🎯 Navigating the People Problem Every Gym Owner Faces 🎯

Welcome back to The Profit Lifestyle for Fitness Entrepreneurs with your hosts Scott Carpenter and Andy Boimila!

In this episode, Scott and Andy get brutally honest about the emotional rollercoaster that is hiring, training, and retaining staff. If you've ever felt crushed after a coach quit unexpectedly—or found magic in the perfect GM—this one's for you.

💡 You’re not just building a gym. You’re building a team. And your success lives and dies by the people you bring on board.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why even great staff can walk away (and what to do next)

✅ The danger of liking someone too much to lead them well

✅ The painful lessons Scott and Andy learned from hiring misfires

✅ Andy’s coach training system that actually makes onboarding fun

✅ The “Dream Team Dial” – how to diagnose your staff health fast

✅ How to spot (and prevent) a team member who’s secretly sinking your gym

✅ The #1 reason gyms fall apart—even when profit margins look great

✅ Why your next great hire depends on your systems, not your hopes

Whether you’re operating solo or managing multiple locations, your people strategy is your real growth strategy. Don’t just hire—build, lead, and protect your team like the business depends on it (because it does).

🎯 The Hidden Math That’s Killing Your Profit (And How to Fix It) 🎯

Welcome back to The Profit Lifestyle for Fitness Entrepreneurs with your hosts Scott Carpenter and Andy Boimila!

This week’s episode is a must-listen for every gym owner who’s grinding harder than ever—but still feels stuck.

💡 The uncomfortable truth? You might be running a business model that is literally designed to fail. Not because of your work ethic or passion… but because the math doesn’t work. Scott and Andy break down the numbers that most fitness entrepreneurs ignore—and reveal how to flip your model into one that actually wins.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ How to tell if your business is "unwinnable" from a profit perspective

✅ The formula that shows whether you’ll ever break free—or stay stuck forever

✅ Why 4–8% churn sounds “fine” but adds up to disaster over time

✅ The true cost of ignoring your capacity, churn, and ACV

✅ How to use the “Profit Predictor” model to forecast 1–3 years ahead

✅ Real examples of gyms that doubled profit with smaller spaces or fewer clients

✅ Why raising prices and selling high-ticket offers is often the only path forward

✅ The one-liner that explains why passion isn’t enough: “You can't put water in a bucket with no bottom”

✅ The freak-in-the-(Google)-sheets approach to building a business that actually works

This episode isn’t about fear. It’s about clarity. Once you know what the math is telling you, you can fix the model, scale the impact, and finally pay yourself what you’re worth.

🎯 The High-Impact Workshop Designed For Gym Owners, By Gym Owners 🎯

Welcome back to The Profit Lifestyle for Fitness Entrepreneurs with your hosts Scott Carpenter and Andy Boimila!

This episode is all about something we’re PUMPED to finally announce…

We’re hosting a LIVE, in-person workshop this November 7–8 in Scottsdale, AZ — alongside the one and only Matt Wilber!

💡 This isn’t your average “rah-rah” fitness business event. It’s a hands-on, no-BS workshop designed to help gym owners walk away with real strategies, real clarity, and real momentum to finish Q4 strong — and set up a monster 2026.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ How Scott and Matt’s philosophies perfectly align to help both high-ticket and volume gyms

✅ The exact moment we decided this event had to happen (hint: Grand Rapids blew our minds)

✅ Why most events fall flat — and how we’re making this workshop radically different

✅ What you can expect from a workshop-style format (not 9 speakers shouting ideas you’ll never implement)

✅ How this intimate 100-person max event will include Q&A, live feedback, and action-built strategies

✅ Our favorite in-person event moments — and why they’re often life-changing

✅ Scott’s raw story: massive debt, power shutoffs, foreclosures… and how he rebuilt it all

✅ The power of connection, community, and collaboration (especially in a lonely business like this)

Here’s the Deal:

This Scottsdale event isn’t a moneymaker — it’s about impact. We’re capping it at around 100 attendees, keeping it intimate, focused, and results-driven. If you’re a fitness entrepreneur who wants to scale profitably, build real wealth, and stop feeling alone in the grind… this event is for you.

Lock In the Dates: November 7–8

Is high-ticket fitness coaching still worth it in 2025? Or has the market shifted too far?

In this episode, Scott Carpenter and Andy Boimila break down the real numbers behind why high-ticket offers aren’t just relevant—they’re essential in today’s fitness business climate. With paid ads becoming more expensive and less effective, needing fewer clients at higher prices is no longer a luxury—it’s your only sustainable path forward.

Discover how gym owners are closing $5K–$25K in new business with minimal ad spend, reactivating old leads, and scaling without depending on Meta.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

- Why low-ticket and high-volume strategies are failing fast

- The simple math behind needing fewer leads—and making more money

- How one gym owner sold $22K in high ticket his first week

- Exactly what’s inside the newly revamped high-ticket system

- How to use dead email lists and current clients to generate fast cash

- The 14-Day Mentorship offer that helps you work with us before you pay us

Whether you're struggling to get leads or plateaued in growth, this episode will show you how to stop playing a broken game—and start winning with high ticket.

🔥 Bottom line: If you're tired of running on the lead treadmill and barely breaking even, it's time to switch games. High-ticket isn't just relevant—it’s recession-proof, ad-proof, and scalable.

Let’s build you a business that actually works. Let’s go.
