Matt Dart made $15,000 a week running six gyms but kept almost nothing after rent and staff. He switched to a hybrid model mixing in-person and online training, claiming it bumped his margins from 10-20% to 70-80% while cutting overhead and burnout.

$15,000 per week.

12 trainers.

Six locations.

"1500 dollars plus a week."

10–20% profit margins.

I used to make $15,000 per week as a personal trainer. What people didn't know is I had 12 trainers. I had six different locations for gyms. I was paying 1500 dollars plus a week, plus my gym rent per week. So at the end of the day, like, yes, I was making $15,000 a week on paper as revenue, but the profit margin was very, very small. This is the old way of how I got taught how to run a PT business. There's a new way, a better way to run your business that actually has 70 to 80% profit margins instead of relying on just 10 to 20% profit margins and what that looks like. It's a hybrid model. It's a combination of face to face plus online. So yes, you can hire trainers to do your face to face sessions, but majority of your work is actually done behind the scenes with an online component. So you don't necessarily need all these trainers working for you. In fact, you could do very limited amount of sessions face to face and completely scale your online PT business. Then you only need to hire virtual assistants, online coaches for programming. So say goodbye to paying ridiculous amounts of rent with multiple trainers. You don't need to do that anymore. So if you don't know how I'm doing this with my clients making a hybrid business model. More profit, more time, more freedom and comment. The word hybrid and I'll send you the training.
