Tai Kyon, owner of one of New York's most successful F45 studios, reveals how he turned his startup gym into a $100K/month powerhouse, without ads or gimmicks.

Formerly a 275-pound tech executive, Tai's personal transformation fuels a studio culture built on empathy, excellence, and elite service. Today, his team leads the most positively reviewed F45 franchise globally, powered by a $250/month kindness budget and a mindset rooted in "unreasonable hospitality."

In this episode, Mike Arce covers how Tai mapped every member touchpoint, from the first walk-through to cancellation, to eliminate friction and create delight. From snow removal and childcare to handwritten holiday cards and birthday celebrations, this is a masterclass in how small moments drive massive results.

If you're ready to build a gym experience tailored to the customer that sells itself, this episode is for you.
