Sweat Success

Today, we’re talking with Carlos Solorzano, Founder and CEO of TRAIN to Win FITNESS— At the time we recorded this episode Carlos was only six months into owning his own training gym, and he is here to share some truly valuable advice.

And what’s probably the most impressive thing about what Carlos has accomplished so far is that it all came from client referrals. No ads, no social media, just exceptional customer service that led to word-of-mouth marketing.

Carlos initially began training his friends for free and then acquired two paying clients. Through referrals, he expanded his clientele to 11 in just four months. However, that was three to four years ago, and since then, he has undergone a journey of persistence.

I am thrilled to share Carlos' experience with you, and my hope is that it provides you with some valuable insights, particularly if you are, like Carlos, building your own fitness business.

In this episode, we have an insightful conversation with Chris Clawson, former CEO of Life Fitness and Matrix Fitness, as he shares his vision for the future of the fitness industry. 

We delve into how advancements in technology and changing economic conditions are set to impact gym owners and the industry as a whole, providing valuable insights for anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve.

Chris also shares the inspiring story of how he was challenged by Augie Nieto to aspire to become the CEO of Life Fitness during a talent review and succession planning process at Brunswick after their acquisition of Life Fitness.

But that's not all - Chris believes that the greatest opportunity in the fitness industry is to reach the 80 plus percent of people globally who are not devotees of fitness and exercise. He also talks about his concept of the "seatbelt law" and how it could be the key to changing this needle.

This is a must-listen episode for anyone interested in the future of the fitness industry and looking to gain valuable insights from one of the most successful leaders in the business.

Today, we have a special guest, Dr. Kenrick McCarty, from Biloxi, Mississippi, who is a renowned expert in hormone replacement therapy (HRT). 

Why  talking about this topic on a Fitness Business Podcast? 

I  believe that discussing HRT is crucial in optimizing the body's potential and achieving fitness goals. 

Gym owners can improve their services by learning about HRT and discussing it with their members, promoting open conversations about the link between hormones, metabolism, weight loss, and energy levels. 

By doing so, they can enhance the effectiveness of their fitness routines and help members gain a deeper understanding of their body's functions. 

As we age, our hormones deplete, leaving us feeling fatigued and impacting our metabolism. HRT, including testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), can help combat these effects. 

In this episode, we're breaking down the stigma surrounding HRT to discuss how these therapies can provide the extra boost your fitness journey needs.

🚨👉Note that this approach can also create new profit opportunities for the gym. Stay tuned for more on how you can serve your members with this alternative in Part #2 of my conversation with Dr Kendrick.
