🎯 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.
