Running a fitness facility means balancing a dozen spinning plates at once, from member happiness to keeping your team engaged and the bottom line healthy. While plenty of conversations in the industry fixate on getting new leads in the door, Fitness Business Podcast: Leadership, Innovation, and Profit digs into what happens after they join. Host Justin Tamsett, known widely as JT, operates from a core belief: sustainable growth isn't just about marketing, but about mastering the human elements of leadership and creating a business people don't want to leave-neither your members nor your staff.

The discussions move beyond theory to tackle the real operational challenges gym owners and managers face daily, focusing on practical strategies to improve member retention, foster a loyal company culture, and implement innovations that drive genuine profit.
