Showed me around, and they were like, you know, I think it was $300 a month to be a trainer.

what's your future plan for for legacy gyms do you plan to keep uh expanding yeah nationwide so
49:53
it's been interesting because i i So my motto, no days off has never taken a day off on you.
50:00
It's a commitment to becoming your best self.
50:03
It's also this.
50:05
living with intention to, to commit to becoming better.
50:09
So it's like this idea of becoming like, and that never stops.

So just talk me through the idea of, Of making a water company, the why, the how, the what, the what the goal is.

How would you measure your success and let people realize, get a quick eyeball snapshot of what you've been able to do in the gym industry and in the fitness world?
2:06
Well, I think you have to start to recognize that you're in the service industry.
2:11
So I think if you get into the gym business, you definitely are not in it for just the money.
2:16
You're in it for the impact that you're going to have on people's lives.
2:20
So I think my first measure of success is how many people are we able to serve on a daily basis and actually influence them in a positive way and leave a mark on their life that they can live out through their relationships, their own work, their families, things like that.
2:38
And obviously physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and being that anchor for people's lives.
2:44
I mean, I think that's really what, to me, what fitness and gym is all about is being that stable thing that they always know we're here, that they always know they're going to have a safe place, a good environment to come to, a clean environment, a motivating environment.
