Right, I think itโs about time to introduce myself again ๐
To be honest, Iโm actually very much like you, a FitPro

I had my own studio, FitHub30, in Cardiff, until January last year, when I sold it
You can find the page & picture of me coaching if you check on Facebook ๐
I started doing bootcamp sessions back in North Wales for ยฃ5 a session, and some clients promised they would pay the next week
And as you guessed, they didnโt ๐ฌ
I then took out a credit card to pay a โguruโ, where the first module was all about manifesting ๐คทโโ๏ธ
But module 2 was Facebook Ads, which then launched my fitness business
DKnine Fitness, where I worked out of someone elseโs gym in Southampton
I basically did everything myself until I realized I needed someone to chase the leads
This was my second biggest game changer
I was then desperate to get my own studio when I saw a lady in Cardiff giving up hers
I drove the 140 miles & said Iโd take it ๐
A few days in, we had clients moaning in Southampton that the coach didnโt show for 6 am
Which was the first time I had to fire someone, I actually cried while doing it ๐คทโโ๏ธ
In Cardiff, we grew quickly, survived the lockdowns, took myself completely out of the business
Winning a number of awards, been featured in local magazines, raising a lot of money for charities & much more
I also changed the business name quickly to allow me to take myself out of the business more, changing from DKnine Fitness to FitHub30
Then eventually sold it in Jan ’23
So yeah, I can 100% say, what you might be going through in your business now, I have probably experienced it ๐ค
These days, I get to spend my time chatting with FitPros like yourself, sharing what worked & didnโt
Plus, of course, we have the โDone for Youโ META Ads & LeadDec, the all-in-one lead gen platform
We also have a free group on Facebook where we give a load of content to help you out
Or if you have a specific Q you want to ask, simply hit reply
You got this ๐ช
