S1 Episode 40: Creating Success With Persistence


Listen Later

From his parents dining room to an international brand, GYMGUYZ Founder & CEO, Josh York, is an American dream come true. 12 years ago, Josh York was sitting at his parents dining room table hammering out the idea that would become GYMGUYZ – a mobile in-home fitness training provider, today boasting 251 locations across 30 states and 3 countries. Josh, who believes sleep is the enemy and subscribes to 4-5 hours a night with a 4:00 a.m. workout followed by a sauna and 25’ cold plunge daily, wasn't going to be denied his dream. It has been an incredible journey. From devising visionary business plans where his mom served dinner, to today rubbing shoulders with major disruptors in the business industry such as Gary Vaynerchuk, Phil Knight (Nike Founder) and Trent Shelton, to name a few, Josh and his experienced franchise management team expects to open another 200 locations in 2021. Josh’s competitive nature, passion for living, and presence makes him one of the most sought-after motivational speakers of the day.


In this episode, we discuss:


Persistence and not taking no for an answer

Culture wins in business

Needing a vision, painting a blank canvass, to succeed

The ability to bring so many great minds together with franchising to help you grow 

A willingness to fail and make mistakes in order to achieve your goals

Delegating your weaknesses and focusing on your strengths

Results don’t work unless you do 


I hope you will find this episode as exciting and informative as I have. Josh gave valuable information and insights on how to do better in business. He delved into sharing life experiences that led him to what he is today. Also, he shared tips on how you can do business easier in the most efficient way possible.
