Replay: Creating Careers, Taking Vacations
Management and Leadership in the Fitness Industry

With Mark Fisher from Business For Unicorns and your host JT!
When Mark Fisher opened his first gym, he found himself with a team he loved — but no real training on how to lead.
Like many first time leaders, he was asking himself:
- How do managers delegate without setting their team up for failure?
- What systems can keep team members on track without micromanaging?
- How can leaders stay connected with what their team REALLY wants in a way that supports them AND the business’s needs?
In this training, Mark will share the systems he used to scale Mark Fisher Fitness to nearly $34m in revenue, To support the operator of a gym he owns remotely with only 2 hours each week, And in coaching nearly 150 top gym owners all over the world to create careers for their team while still taking a damn vacation once in a while.
