Podcast Summary

In this episode of Business Secrets for Gym Owners, Vince interviews Bobby and Maria, a husband-and-wife team from Massachusetts who turned their gym from a struggling $7,000-a-month grind into a thriving $55,000-a-month business with two locations.

They share the full story—from burnout and financial stress to building systems, hiring a team, and finally gaining the freedom of time and money that most gym owners dream of.

Their journey captures what’s possible when you stop trying to do everything yourself, simplify your business model, and take massive, scary action.


5 Key Points

  1. From Chaos to Clarity
    Bobby started out training everyone—kids, adults, athletes, wrestlers—without focus or systems, working 70-hour weeks for the same money he made as a trainer.
  2. The Turning Point
    Burnt out and directionless, Bobby and Maria sold wrestling mats to afford coaching and joined SPF Mastermind. That decision changed everything.
  3. Restructuring the Business
    They shut down their bootcamps and moved fully to a small group model, shifting from $8K a month in chaos to recurring, predictable revenue.
  4. Taking Scary Action Pays Off
    Maria turned down an $80,000 job offer to go all-in on the gym. Within a year, they doubled revenue to $16K, then hit $200K the next year—exactly what Vince predicted.
  5. Freedom and Growth
    Today, Big Day Fitness runs two profitable locations with 195 members and a team of five. Last year, they profited $265,000—self-funding their expansion, taking 19-day vacations, and preparing for their dream wedding in Spain.
