About this episode

Vianney and Derrick Yamada discuss their journey of rebuilding their fitness business after the pandemic.

What happens when a business shuts down, a neighbor reports your garage gym to the city, and you're forced to decide whether to start over or walk away? In this episode of Adventures in Business, Amani Roberts and Mandi Graziano sit down with Earned Fitness founders Vianney and Derrick Yamada. The husband-and-wife team share how they rebuilt their fitness business after the pandemic, opened a new gym in just nine days, and created a coaching model focused on accountability, community, and sustainable results. The conversation explores entrepreneurship, fitness habits, youth sports, parenting, and why health remains one of the most important investments anyone can make. 🔗 Want to Try A Free Class?
