    A must listen in today’s podcast world
    JT’s passion and insights are unmatched. He continually brings people in to share key insights and lessons that must be learned so operators can be set up for success rather than failure. This is a must have for education and staying on top of relevant trends in the fitness industry. Don’t just listen to the newest one go back and listen to as many as you can.

    A Great Podcast for ALL
    This is a terrific podcast for anyone who is interested in business - not just the fitness industry. Dori is an excellent host - keeping the flow between herself and her guests at just the right tempo. While some of the topics may seem “heavy,” the discussions move along and the guests are mostly fun, upbeat, and energetic. Listeners will want to get into shape . . . physically, mentally, emotionally, and with their personal and professional business.

    Let me know if you want to know the “real” Tony DeLeede
    I worked for him for almost ten years as his marketing director and he is the most underhanded, womanizing, unethical womanizer I have ever met. He ruined my early years. He will say he was so generous to me, but the price I paid was not worth what he took from me.
  • Michelle Merz
    Great Sales Tips! (even if you aren’t in the fitness industry)
    I’ve been contemplating whether or not to write this review simply because I know their niche is the fitness professionals and I do not work in the fitness industry. Regardless, the amount of valuable marketing and sales information available to you in these podcasts can easily be tweaked and applied to any industry. They teach you solid framework and strategies have helped our agency crack the code of getting sales via social media and in the DMs. Another thing my business partner and I enjoy is how down to earth and straight forward Erin and Jordan both are!
  • KeCou

    Info and inspiration!
    This podcast is full of Fitness Industry leaders who provide such great insight and experience. As a group fitness director I know I can het so much of what I need - from leadership advice to actionable advice to information (in a non-Salesy) way about vendors and more! I listen to almost every new episode and find myself actually looking to see if something new has been recorded because I KNOW I will always get something out of it.

    Authentic, Empowering and Amazingly Practical
    Chantal and her guests provide some incredibly actionable and compelling content, spotlighting the absolute best tactics on how to effectively grow your fitness business, without draining your bank account (and well-being). Highly recommend listening and subscribing to The Fitness Business Podcast if you want the knowledge AND mindsets to level up and reach your overall business goals as a result!
  • Marciea Allen
    Execution is Everything!
    What I love most about listening to the fitness business podcast episodes is that there is always a strategy or two that I learn. Strategies are useless without execution and I find when I execute the strategies from your episodes it moves the needle that much closer to my business goals. I was referred by an amazing friend and good mentor Mike A. a year ago and it is by far the best recommendation! The fascinating thing about listening is knowing a lot of the influencers on a personal and business level which lets me know I’m in the right place! You are who you surround yourself by and the fitness of business is where it’s at.!

    My #1 go-to resource for my fitness business
    I found FBP by accident shortly before opening my indoor cycle and cardio studio 3 years ago. Operating in a rural area, and being the only business with this kind of model anywhere around, I didn’t have people I could chat with about concerns, ideas, etc. The FBP has been like having a mentor, I could go to anytime of the day or night. I recently went back to 1st episode to listen again, finding now that I’m at a different stage in my business, those replayed episodes are again offering valuable advice I had passed over the first listen. One of my favorite features is the yearly compilation of books FBP guests have recommended on the show. I’m slowing reading each one, starting with the ones mentioned most often. Thank you Chantel and everyone at FBP for helping my dream of owning a successful fitness business become a reality.

    From Listener to Guest
    I’ve been listening to the fitness business podcast since the very beginning. Show after show I would learn more and more and this helped boost my passion for wanting to inspire and educate others. I reached out to the FBP team about being a guest and before I knew it, I became known as “show 86.” As someone who now speaks and educates around the world, I have to say that the content is spot on with what I am seeing in our industry and they are constantly ahead of the emerging trends. It is definitely worth subscribing. If you don’t like it, I’ll give you your money back... (get it 😂)
  • MarisaHoff
    A Must Have Resource for Anyone In Fitness
    The Fitness Business Podcast has been an amazing tool for me as General Manager of a health club. I use it to strengthen my own leadership skills by learning from the best, both inside and outside the fitness business. I often use specific podcasts as a part of the education component of my meetings - whether it’s with my sales team, personal trainers or the management team - there are so many to choose!! I highly recommend listening to Chantal as she guides us through how to be more productive, better leaders and how to help people become a better version of themselves.

    First time I heard about Chantal was at the Idea World Convention in San Diego and I couldn’t be more excited! She is an amazing professional and has so much value to add. Since then I’ve been listening to her podcast and keep learning more and more about the fitness industry and adding more value to my business. Thank you Chantal
