The Profit Lifestyle for Fitness Entrepreneurs

Episode 82: If I was broke and I had to do it all over again


Listen Later

What if you had to start over? How would you do it?


Scott Carpenter has 6 gyms, and has successfully scaled up and out of the operations at all of them and only acts as an advisor in the business.


But what if the rug was swept out from under him and he had to start from scratch- with no money?


What business format (large group, small group, semi-private, personal training), size of gym, and structure would he use?


How would Scott acquire clients without a marketing budget? Or even get a space and purchase equipment?


  • Start by renting space at an independent gym
  • Overlapping PT only, Transformation programs
  • HEAVY into organic acquisition
  • Paint the vision to my clients- to inspire them to grow with me, be in my corner, $
  • I would hire 1 Full-timer based on attitude, energy, and opportunity
  • I would look for 2nd gen space & negotiate 
  • Build credit and establish relationships with rig-quipment, microloans, credit cards, etc.
  • I would also finance by PIF clients.
  • Negotiate with the landlord for higher rent with more TI.
  • Hire & go!


Listen to hear exactly how Scott would rebuild his fitness empire if he lost everything.
