The only two group fitness franchises I would invest in…

Industrious 

If you want a well-organized, high operational capacity, barbell-based group fitness experience (aka CrossFit without the stupid shit), then you need to look into Industrious.  Click here and I’ll personally connect you with the Industrious franchise team to learn more.

MADabolic

If you’re looking for one of the fastest growing brands in the boutique fitness space that leverages gritty branding, strength-focused programming (but without the barbell and other space suckers) and has over 30 opened locations nationwide, then you’ll definitely want to get in touch with the MADabolic franchise team by clicking here.

I solve problems in your business and make you more money.  Guaranteed. 

For over a decade I’ve been working with gym owners (via one-on-one consulting) to help create tailored solutions to solve their business problems, engineer the game plan and empower them to execute the strategy.

Stop wishing your business problems are going to magically go away.  

Invest in your business and let me solve your problems and optimize your business fast and efficiently. 

We’ll work together daily/weekly, with a monthly call until the problem is solved and then I want you to fire me.  Because this is YOUR business, I’m just here to solve a specific problem and then get out of your way.

Learn more about what it’s like for us to work together.

Need help leasing or buying a building?

I created the Gym Real Estate Company so that gym owners had someone who could go beyond the duties of a typical real estate broker and actually advise them on business aspects as they relate to site selection, market location fit, operational capacity, facility layout, pre-sell marketing, and more.

If you’re looking for help with your next lease or if you want us to help you along the journey of buying a building - ⁠head over to www.gymrealestate.co and book a Discovery Call.

My friend and colleague, Dr. Sean Pastuch (founder of Active Life) and I keep in touch regularly. However, it had been a minute since we had a catch-up call, so we decided to double-dip and record it as a podcast as well.

Finley began her journey with MADabolic as a client, then became a trainer, evolved to a GM, and eventually part owner of a 2-location portfolio in Charlotte, NC. At that point, her husband (Landon), quit his corporate career and the two of them purchased 100% of the portfolio equity and then opened a 3rd location.

If you are constantly operating in a technician role within your business, it's not truly a business - it's a job.

Finley and Landon Funsten are a husband + wife combination that own the Charlotte, NC portfolio of MADabolic studios.

Finley started her journey with MADabolic as a client.

Then evolved into a trainer, was promoted to GM and later was given the option to buy into the CLT portfolio by the previous owners (also co-founders of MAD).

Landon joined her as they later purchased 100% equity and opened a third location in 2024.

We discuss their role as owners together, juggling newborn babies and family life, struggles with managing the HR bandwidth of 3 locations and future growth plans.

Ladies and gentlemen, Finley and Landon Funsten.

Since most people don't intrinsically WANT to do fitness, how can we keep them coming back?
