About this episode

Ben Supik discusses how his gym generates $1.4 million with only 280 members and shares insights on training, member contracts, and expansion plans.

🌎 This week, Mateo sat down with Ben Supik , founder and CEO of Activate Body Personal Training , a small group training gym with three locations that caps at 280 members per facility and generates up to $1.4 million in top-line revenue. Ben breaks down how 92% of members end up on annual contracts and why he spends the first 320 hours of every new hire just on training before they ever touch the floor. We also get into his plans to open one new location per quarter and what it actually takes to scale a concept without losing what makes it work. P.S.
