  • Ep. 57 Beyond Training Apps: Essential Business Software for Personal Trainers

    Ever seen those ads promising $100k a month as an online coach? They can work, but only if you're disciplined and take consistent action. Many of you might be using Square, Stripe, PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App for payments. These tools are fine when you're starting, but as you scale, they become inadequate.

    True Coach and My PT Hub are great for client programming and tracking progress, but they fall short in overall business management. Michael shares his experience juggling multiple locations and the complexities of scaling a training business. That’s why he developed Biz Ops, BUZOPS a tool designed to streamline operations for both in-club and online personal training businesses.

    To hit those ambitious revenue targets, you need more than just workout tracking. You need a system that handles revenue tracking, client management, and coach scheduling seamlessly. Michael emphasizes setting clear goals, monitoring performance diligently, and ensuring accurate payment processing for coaches.

    Did you know BUZOPS is just $29 if your gym is making less than $8K a month?

    That's right! For only $29, you get access to everything BUZOPS has to offer. Unlike other software, we don't charge for add-ons. You get all the features you need to grow your business without any hidden costs. BUZOPS provides everything you need and more as your gym continues to thrive.

  • Ep. 51 Resilience in Motion: 5 years of Athletic and Spiritual Metamorphosis with Yari Breunig

    Yari had not reached this moment on a whim. Each day's relentless training was fueled by a potent mix of resilience, discipline, and commitment, kindled by memories of her past. 

    These were not just rehearsals for the physical act of hitting that buzzer; they were rehearsals for liberation. The decision to step away from a promising career in biochemistry to embrace the uncertain world of athletics was vindicated every time she trained for this moment of freedom.

    Yet, what Yari hadn’t anticipated was that her true liberation wouldn't come with the clamor of the buzzer, but in a profound silence that followed—captivating those who watched in awe. In that silence lay a poignant 'what now?' that resonated louder than any applause. 

    It was a moment when external voices faded, and her own inner voice surged forth with clarity and volume. Yari's journey is not merely a physical transformation; it is a vivid narrative of using movement to transcend spiritual burdens. 

    Her story is about more than discipline and victory; it's about the profound impact of faith and the transformative power of physical expression. 

    Tune into this episode to witness how Yari Breunig harnesses her inner strength to inspire and elevate those around her. This is a tale to pass down—a testament to the magic of movement and the weight it can lift from our souls.
