In this episode, Vince sits down with Devin Gage, a gym owner who went from struggling to sign his first client to running multiple gyms and making millions. They talk about the highs, the lows, and the oh sh*t moments of business growth. Devin shares how he went from clueless and overwhelmed to confident and strategic, breaking down the exact mindset and frameworks that got him there. They dive into the importance of having a clear vision, making data-driven decisions, and finding the right people to grow your business without losing your sanity. If you’re a gym owner wondering what’s next, this episode is packed with insights that’ll help you level up.

 Five Key Takeaways:

Get Clear on What You Want

  • Saying “I want to grow” isn’t enough. You need a specific, tangible goal—whether it’s hitting $1.5M in revenue, working 20 hours less per week, or opening a second location. If your goal doesn’t make you a little nervous, it’s probably not big enough.

Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway

  • Big moves come with big risks, but sitting still is riskier. Devin follows a simple three-question framework:
    1. What’s the upside?
    2. What’s the worst-case scenario?
    3. Can I live with that worst case?
      If you can, it’s time to move forward.

Stop Running on Feelings—Know Your Numbers

  • A gym owner saying “I feel like business is good” without knowing their retention rate, conversion numbers, or sales data is flying blind. The numbers don’t lie—if you don’t track them, you can’t fix what’s broken.

Your Business Is Only as Good as Your People

  • If you want to grow, you need self-driven facility leaders. These aren’t people who wait to be told what to do—they take action, build relationships, and treat the gym like their own. Hire the right leaders, and your business will grow. Hire the wrong ones, and you’ll lose a ton of money (Devin learned this the hard way).

Your Job Will Change—And That’s a Good Thing

  • Scaling means stepping away from the daily grind and spending more time thinking, solving problems, and planning for the future. It’s not always exciting, but it’s what takes you from running a gym to running a business. If you’re stuck in “firefighter mode” putting out problems all day, you’ll never get to the next level.
