Two-Brain Radio: From Backyard Boot Camp to Profitable Multi-Gym Business
James Mawson, owner of Tribe Mvmnt in Wangaratta, Victoria, Australia, began in 2010 by training one person in his backyard, his only piece of equipment a large rock. But he got results, and one client turned into five—which soon turned into more than 50. Six months after opening a brick-and-mortar gym, he had nearly 100 clients.
But growth eventually stagnated, and James knew he needed to make a change. So he joined Two-Brain Business. Though he was skeptical at first, the investment paid off. After implementing the practices he learned in the Incubator and taking the time to curate high-quality digital ads, James recently raked in $21,000 in front-end sales after spending $1,100 on ads.
In this episode of Two-Brain Radio, you'll learn all about what it was like to grow a gym from a backyard side hustle to a thriving business and how patience pays off when it comes to the Two-Brain Marketing plan.
