A personal trainer earning $16.75 an hour became a gym owner in 2006 when Genesis Ringwood offered him their Independent Business Owner program. He was the first in the network to rent gym floor space, which forced him to learn business skills he'd never needed before. Coaching people was always the real goal.
I had to learn business, and the goal was always to open up something. When I started as a PT, I was earning $16.75 an hour, and I was ready to quit after 6 months. And then they launched where I was, Genesis Ringwood. They gave the IBO program, which is the Independent Business Owner program. Yeah. So you rented the gym, and I was the first in Genesis to rent the floor. This was in 2006, and I had to learn business. There was no other choice. So it was a natural progression. I always wanted to have a gym. But because I loved coaching and I loved training so much, that's what was born out of business. I didn't go into business going, I wanna start a business. It's I wanted to be a coach. That's why I started Enterprise.
