In the podcast interview between Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks and Josh York from Gym Guyz Franchise, Josh details his journey into the health and fitness industry, starting Gym Guyz, the largest in-home, onsite, and virtual personal training company globally. Founded in 2008 with a vision and a laptop in his parents' dining room, Gym Guyz now operates in over 1,500 cities across 30 states and three countries, soon expanding further.
The franchise brings workouts directly to clients without the need for brick-and-mortar locations, utilizing fully equipped vans and emphasizing convenience, customization, and creative workouts. Josh's motivation stems from making a difference in people's lives rather than just making a living.
The Gym Guyz approach includes providing training sessions at various locations, from homes to parks, offices, hospitals, and more, offering diverse equipment such as dumbbells, resistance bands, cardio gear, and specialized tools.
Josh's transition from being a personal trainer to starting Gym Guyz emerged from realizing the limitations of a conventional trainer's income model and the idea of professionalizing the concept of bringing equipment directly to clients.
Discussing the mindset required for success, Josh emphasizes embracing discomfort, perseverance through challenges, and an unwavering belief in oneself. He stresses the importance of taking action, speaking positively, and surrounding oneself with high-energy, positive individuals to elevate personal vibrations and outcomes.
Moreover, the conversation delves into unconventional stressors on the body for achieving better results and longevity, including cold immersion therapy and sauna use. Josh highlights his personal commitment to daily ice baths and sauna sessions as tools for increased testosterone levels and overall health benefits.
The podcast episode concludes with a powerful message about the significance of self-belief, relentless perseverance, and immediate action, encouraging listeners to start their journey toward their goals without delay, fostering a positive mindset, and attracting high-energy environments.
Overall, the interview provides insights into Josh's entrepreneurial journey, the unique Gym Guyz business model, and his powerful mindset strategies for personal and professional success in the fitness industry.
