I’m so positive you will know everything about how to start a gym form scratch after reading this book, that i’m giving you 182.5 days, that’s 6 months to try it, and if you dont like it, return it for a full refund
Why listen to me?
Because I did everything wrong before I did anything right, but fortunately I stuck with it and found some very successful businessmen to guide me, and innovated by turning my gym into a 24 hour fully automated gym, then spent over $15,000 to learn marketing the old fashioned way.

If you want to know all the wrong things I did, here they are some.
- When I opened I picked the wrong location
- used the wrong subcontractors
- bought exercise equipment from the wrong people and also bought the wrong equipment
- finished my concrete floor with too little sealer
- painted some rooms the wrong colors for the right psychological effect (which you’ll learn)
- Made the tanning bed rooms too small
- Offered childcare when I wasn’t set up for it correctly
- Hired the wrong employees
- Hired the wrong personal trainers
- Installed the wrong size air conditioner
- Signed contracts for phone lines that I could have negotiated for a lot less
- Used the wrong lighting
- Got sued for $190,000 because of a contract that really didn’t exist (here’s where I made the biggest mistake in believing lady justice is blind, really justice has one eye open, and she’s looking for $$$ not justice), so learn what not to do.
I then turned my business around completely and figured out on my own what no one else would tell me, and I don’t blame them, after all, they learned the way I did.
