In this episode, I'm going to help you say NO more often and give you the framework I use to preserve my energy and time, while not coming off like a complete asshole. 

Would you like to be able to hit me up during the day and ask questions about solving problems in your business?  Good news - you can.

I work with up to 40 gym owners per month where we communicate DAILY and have a scheduled monthly call.

My goal is to help you during tough times of your business and then to GET FIRED.  I want you to be self-sustaining and not in need of constant business coaching.  So when our work is done, I look forward to you firing me.

This is a consultation call I had with world-class endurance coach Chris Hinshaw where I outlined my experiment to use Tempo Training to prepare for the 2023 Chicago Marathon.

What's better than 1 person paying to train with you privately?  

Two, duh?  

But what happens that grows to 3 or 7 people?  How much do you charge?  How should you handle scheduling differences? 

Let's chat about it...

So you may have noticed my pre-roll ads asking for podcast reviews on Apple or Spotify. Simply send me a screenshot of your review on Instagram @wtfgymtalk and you'll get a chance to be entered in for a free 10 minute call - where you can ask me anything.

Back in 2017, a small startup company hit me up to discuss their business model that installed 24/7 access into microgyms.  

I was intrigued but thought it was too early for the microgym market.  So we never really connected.

Fast forward to today and I'll admit it - I was wrong.  

HybridAF is the leader in providing 24/7 access hardware and software within the microgym industry.  

I'm now a firm believer in this concept and how it can significantly improve the appeal and marketing draw for specific microgyms.

Nathan Grant saw an opportunity to provide the fitness market with a tool that we've all been cobbling together with plates and curbs and anything else we could prop our heels up on to get a more upright squat.  In 2020, the Slantboardguy was born, and while he has been copied and ripped off by hundreds of new vendors, his drive to connect with the fitness industry (literally driving, in-person to meet people) and innovate his products continues to impress me.

Another Respect The Tempo episode for you today where I discuss the concept of 'strength endurance' and why I think it's been neglected by pop-culture fitness for so long.

Motivation is high when we start our business because we are just getting started.  It's all improvement from that point which can allow you to stay motivated for a while.  But what do you do when you've hit a moderate level of success and motivation starts to ween?  Here's how I handled that exact situation. 

This is the first video in the Methodology Series where I'll be doing deep dives into where Tempo Training comes from, the specific protocols used, and other science and evidence-based topics regarding using time under tension to create strength endurance.
