🎯 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).
