So yeah, a bit of a family effort. 8 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, how does it worked? Like you're pretty young, but like, 9 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: have you always been like a gym guy, like I'm 10 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: in terms of being a trainer or what's your deal? 11 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I've been in the industry for probably 12 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: fifteen years now in more capacity though, So for me, 13 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 2: like I guess the story of my time in training 14 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: people started, you know, your mom and dad's mom and 15 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: dad's front yard, and I get that's where the name 16 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: of the yard comes from. Is it all started in 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 2: mom and dad's front yard after work training and where 18 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: we're working? So I was working. I left school in 19 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: year nine, year ten and worked for the family business. 20 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: But what is a panel beater? Panel bet right, and 21 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: in the smash repairs. So we grew up in obviously 22 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: the Italian heritage grew up in the fruit shops and 23 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: and yeah, I got to year ten and school probably 24 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: wasn't you know, I wasn't relating to it real well. 25 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 2: And dad and my uncle were like, come on, let's 26 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 2: get to work. So I grew up in the panel 27 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: shops and then I was training and competing at that time, 28 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: obviously but working with family. So we're obviously like rugby 29 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: league playing rugby league and surf luff saving and you 30 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: know a lot of our team sports ocean paddling. And 31 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: then I just love training people. So three days a 32 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: week week Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I would have all my 33 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: mates come around after work and we turned out we 34 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: had about forty to fifty people turn up three days 35 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 2: a week, and I just ran these crazy workouts your 36 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 2: mum and Dad's front yard. And that's what I've. 37 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: Often wondered, how or why someone becomes a trainer, and 38 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: then someone become becomes can become someone who gets trained, 39 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: like you know, for me, someone I've trained all my life. 40 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: I've never really wanted to be the guys telling it, saying, 41 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: you know, like you know, you go around the group 42 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: say okay, there's ten of verse, and you call the 43 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: first lot of sit ups and you do this, you know, like, 44 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: you know this ship me. I didn't want to do it. 45 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: I just do what everyone else doing. Just tell me 46 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: what to do, I'll do it. Yeah, And there'd be 47 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: to be some guys who just love saying, Okay, we're 48 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: going to do crunches and we're going to do blah 49 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: blah blah. And some guys want to be the when 50 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: girls want to be the let's call it the leader 51 00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: of the group in terms of what we should do, 52 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: and the other ones of us used to just want 53 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: to go along with it. What do you reckon? It 54 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: is because you've gone and done it. 55 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. For me as a kid. 56 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: You were a young buke. 57 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I just had a passion for it. 58 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: I was just passionate about it, you know. 59 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: I just like like your passionate about you said, I 60 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: want to fuck this. I want them to do this. 61 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: There's something I saw on YouTube. I want them, I reckon, 62 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: I want everyone to do that. Do you want them 63 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: to be good or you just want to leading? 64 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 2: I think just that leadership having people rely on you, 65 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: but obviously pulling them through and building that resilience. Like 66 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: I think that it's like being the captain of the 67 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: footy team. I always wanted to be the captain or 68 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: I always wanted to be the leader. You know. It's 69 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: that competitive nature that drives into the passion of seeing 70 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: people complete and train hard, and the feeling I think 71 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: you get after a good workout with a group of 72 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: mates is ultimately, I think the most one of the 73 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: most rewarding things, and you build relationships so strongly that way, 74 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: and very quickly, so I think it's just more for me. 75 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: It was more just a passion and about delivering an 76 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: amazing experience for my mates, and that's how I kind 77 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 2: of started. 78 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: So you're still pretty young, so I probably presume going 79 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: back fifteen years ago, YouTube was fairly popular, not as 80 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: popular as it is now, but we're fairly popular. We 81 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: use one of those eighteen year olds, nine year olds 82 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: who were stuck on YouTube or various other platforms. Look 83 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: at what everyone else is doing in terms of training. 84 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, not so much YouTube. I mean I really used 85 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: to get a lot of from a lot of YouTube. 86 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: I guess, like a lot of Mike Tyson videos. Training 87 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: was Mike Tyson videos back then. The magazines like you know, 88 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: the sports magazines or the training magazines, and I remember 89 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: those training masks just came out. Yeah, like the hit 90 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: the oxygen restricted breathing. 91 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: Like you're just like you're training at them high atmosphere. Yeah. Yeah. 92 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: And I think the Panthers or something in like the 93 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 2: NRL mag had been they were wearing these masks, these masks, 94 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 2: and I didn't have two or thre hundred bucks to 95 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: buy all the boys of mask, so I bought home 96 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: the spray the disposable spray painting masks from work, and 97 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 2: we may do, you know, and we had all that 98 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: ripped off and up on the wall and and that's 99 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 2: where the inspect came from. It was just a lot 100 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: of YouTube, Mike Tyson videos. But obviously the magazines back 101 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: then were pretty influential. 102 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: And were you and during that period, you weren't trained 103 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: to become a trainer. You were just saying, dudes come 104 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: over and yeah, throw some stuff around. Yeah. 105 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 2: It was like, you know, Dad had the old weights, 106 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: the old kind of garage weights. That's what we started with. 107 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: And then we had we had a gold coin donation, 108 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: so everyone put a gold coin in and we built 109 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: up a big cash and bought boxing bags and we 110 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: bought a roller, and you know, we slowly added to 111 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 2: the collection. By the end of it, the gara I 112 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: just fulled. The front yard was full and and they 113 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 2: loved it. It went off. It was called the Garage of Terror. 114 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 2: There was a Facebook page and you know it's to 115 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: make them wear tracks of pants and close the doors. 116 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: It was just yeah, it was on. 117 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: And what would you describe that exercise program as? So, 118 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: is it like hit like high intensity stuff or you're 119 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: talking about how would you. 120 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,239 Speaker 2: It was hybrid? You know, we would run with lift weights, 121 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 2: we'd do conditioning, we do a lot of boxing. We 122 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,239 Speaker 2: had a thing called so we we'd finished twenty minutes 123 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 2: of boxing every Friday, with twenty minutes of boxing.

Were a bit off 175 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 2: it for a second, but yeah, you know, we pulled 176 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: a crowd and then that's when I found out forty five. 177 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 2: So then I transitioned into their forty five studios in 178 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: twenty twelve as a trainer, purchased my first one. 179 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: You bought one. 180 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, well one, So which which year? 181 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: Which are me? 182 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 2: Now?

Yeah, it'd be about right. I remember 185 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: a lot of regul league guys and our guys are 186 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: buying their forty five. 187 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 2: Yeah back in there, but like it was pretty popular. 188 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 2: I made. 189 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, they would buy and their forty five was just 190 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: going to be their end of career, yeah thing when 191 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: they finished playing footyll I remember Jake Friend bought one 192 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: actually yeah, yeah, on the suburbs somewhere. I don't knowmber where, 193 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: but I remember at least he was thinking about by 194 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: talking about buying on. How how was that experience only 195 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: in their forty five look in the beginning? 196 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, incredible. You know, I was twenty two at that time. 197 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: You know, I grew up in a in a small 198 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: business household, you know, and I and I thought I 199 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: knew what to do and things, but I learned a lot, 200 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 2: you know, it taught me, you know, I did it. 201 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 2: I grew up in the Carnala area, but we opened 202 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: up in the Peakurst in the George area purely because 203 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: I had we found a location. You know, we found 204 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 2: a site. 205 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: So Daniel consulate. 206 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 2: He didn't sell it to me, but he was there. 207 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 2: He came in DC. He's going, well, but it taught 208 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: me how to, you know, kind of build a community 209 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 2: and build a business in an area that I couldn't 210 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: rely on my upbringing, you know. But it was an 211 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: amazing experience for me. You know, I loved it. I 212 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 2: ended up with three of them over the eight year period. 213 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: At the same time, Yeah, ended up with three studios. 214 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: And we're talking franchises, franchises, Yeah, three franchises. You were 215 00:10:54,760 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: a franchises for three forty five franchises. Do you mind 216 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: if I ask you how important was it for you 217 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: at the time in before you made the decision that 218 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: forty five had such a big reputation in the brand sense. Yeah. 219 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: Look, at that time, it didn't have the big reputation. 220 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: You know, there was only thirty of them or tw 221 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: It just kicked off. Yeah, it just kicked off. But 222 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: I did a few sessions at the local one and 223 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 2: it was something that you know, I was I had 224 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 2: that competitive feeling to my training always. You know, I 225 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 2: think that's really important for your day to day training. 226 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 2: Is they still have a little bit of that that feeling, 227 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 2: and you know that at that time there was really 228 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 2: only a CrossFit that had an element of competitiveness to 229 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 2: their fitness. 230 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: Maybe just explained what F forty five programmatically is like 231 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 1: in terms of because we know what CrossFit is or 232 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: most CrossFit is, but what was there forty five that 233 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: didn't experience it? 234 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just a forty five minute workout, high 235 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: intensity everything, just hit training, stationed, very structured, lots and 236 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 2: lots of different movements. Basically a room of just you know, 237 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 2: let's call it anywhere between twelve to twenty four twenty 238 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: seven movements and you spend. 239 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: As in stations, so you station and how many people 240 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: would be in a class. 241 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, anywhere between you know, about twenty seven on average. 242 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 2: So it was just a high intensity atmosphere. And again 243 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: I think I just delivered that group training feel and 244 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 2: experience for could. 245 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: You explain with them? It's like, what is the sense 246 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: of group training? What I mean, it's what you used 247 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: to do when you pack out in your garage. But 248 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: what do individuals who attend a group training session? What 249 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: do they get out of being in a group training 250 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: session as opposed not not just the curriculum, not just 251 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: the programs. Your program, I've said it all out for you. 252 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: But what other things they get from it? 253 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 2: Well, you get that atmosphere and you get to a 254 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 2: level of training that you're not going to get to 255 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: by yourself. You know, not many people. 256 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: Why the fuck we can't motivate ourselves. I can't not anymore. 257 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: But why is that? 258 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: I think it's just it's it is the level of motivation. 259 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 2: And when you're it takes a very talented individual to 260 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 2: get themselves to a level of output solo. You know, 261 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 2: you think of these solo athletes like tennis players, or. 262 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: They have a coach, they've got coaches, they are coaches. 263 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 2: But to get yourself to that level of pain and 264 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: put yourself into that arena is a talent, you know. 265 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 2: And with team sport, that that mind, that battle in 266 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 2: your mind is taken away. You've got the guy next 267 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: to you pushing you. You're trying to keep up, and 268 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: these group training environments is always a coach that's always 269 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,719 Speaker 2: guiding along the way. It's that atmosphere that gets you through. 270 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 2: It's the adrenaline that gets you through. And that's what 271 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 2: I think probably pulled me to the group training models 272 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: so much. Much is because it just reminded me so 273 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 2: much of playing sport. You know, it's the ten minutes 274 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 2: before kickoff playing footy, or it's the ten minutes before 275 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: the race. It's it's doing adrenaline, and it's that come 276 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 2: on boys or guys, girls, it's time to go. 277 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: And when you walk into that studio, I never actually 278 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: I saw lots of them around the joint, but I 279 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: never actually tried it in forty five. But I have 280 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: been a good training though. What happens when you walk 281 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: in the door? What was what was the first? Was 282 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: there a smell in the joint, like you know, like 283 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: a smell of training. 284 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 2: Or smell the rubber, the black rubber. 285 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: Before you could I'm trying to get out of you. 286 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: What what did you do? 287 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 2: You remember? It was literally just just or you could 288 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 2: or you could really feel. You could hear the music 289 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: and you could smell the rubber floor. And you walk in, 290 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: check yourself off and off the check in because you're 291 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 2: always book your class, check yourself off and wait for 292 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 2: your session to start. And that's when the trainers would 293 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 2: come over and welcome you in and you know, get 294 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 2: your warmed up and get to your station and away 295 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 2: you went. You know, so it was quite It was 296 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 2: very much a very easy experience for the user. 297 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, and in terms of knowing what to do, that 298 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: sort of friction for people who've never done it before. 299 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: How did Robert's partner air forty five guys, how do 300 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: they get over the friction of oh shit, I don't 301 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: really know what to do when I go to air 302 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: forty five And how did you do it when you 303 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: were frenchise. 304 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 2: I I used to grab them, take them under my wing, 305 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 2: my wing, and I literally warm up next to them, 306 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 2: you know, and I would guide them through that whole process. 307 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 2: And generally, because of the team environment and you're seeing 308 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: your peers and you're seeing your teammates essentially do it 309 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: around you, then a lot of people who just felt 310 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 2: comfortable and they flowed, and you know, I was taught 311 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: my trainers and built my culture to really grab our 312 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 2: our new clients and you know, really teach them. Over 313 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 2: the first two weeks, we had an on boarding process 314 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 2: internally that taught them how to squat, how to do 315 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: their push ups, how to hold their posture, and then 316 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 2: we had to check in for the first twelve months 317 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 2: of their up sorry, twelve weeks of their membership. So 318 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: we built these internal back end processes in our studios 319 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 2: with my trainers, just to ensure that these guys were 320 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 2: welcomed and they were taught along the way. And you know, 321 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: when you do those little things right in your community, 322 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 2: then their word spreads. You know, they bring their cousin, 323 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 2: they bring their friend, and before you know, you've got 324 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 2: the whole family. And that's how you build your community, 325 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 2: you know. 326 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: So I do want to quickly talk about the yard 327 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: before we go to the break, and we'll talk more 328 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: about the art after the break. But what was the 329 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: transition from forty five to the art? So did you 330 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: own some forty fives before you set up the yard 331 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: or did you you know, did your franchise with forty 332 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: five expired and you decided to set up your own deal. 333 00:16:58,520 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: What would happen? How did it work? 334 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 2: So they didn't expire, They were very healthy, pumping studios, 335 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 2: three of them. But I sold them in twenty the 336 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 2: Christmas of twenty twenty. 337 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: Just before they listened in America. 338 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, just as, just as Yeah, So. 339 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 1: Why did you sell because that's pretty good timing. Has 340 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: it turned out? 341 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 2: Well, the truth of it. I went to the World 342 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 2: conference in Vegas and World is it World at forty 343 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 2: five World forty five conference in Vegas, and I just, yeah, look, 344 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 2: I had this feeling that I just it was time 345 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 2: for me to pivot. I was getting, you know, really quite. 346 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 2: I wanted to give more to the client, more experience, 347 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 2: better products, innovation, And yeah, it was. It was a 348 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 2: funny story. I was sitting there and yeah, incredible in 349 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 2: the middle of Vegas, massive conference, booming businesses at home 350 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 2: and celebrities, Yeah, Agacy and you know, the whole lot 351 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 2: Wildburg and I see that he was there. Yeah, he 352 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 2: was on stage doing Burg. Yeah, and yeah, I just 353 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 2: had this feeling it's time for me to move. You know, 354 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 2: There's probably a few things that that made me think otherwise, 355 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: it's time to pivot. 356 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: Were you getting nervous or did you just think, fucking 357 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,239 Speaker 1: I can do this. Look, I think it was more 358 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: and more. Sorry, Was it more ambition on your behalf 359 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: or is it more nervousness about this forty five businesses 360 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: maybe evolving into something as. 361 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think probably both, probably both. I think the 362 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 2: ambition in me was was the feeling was too strong? 363 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 2: You know, I wanted to develop and wanted to grow 364 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: and wanted to do more, you know, And I could 365 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 2: see the industry definitely going in a certain way. It 366 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 2: was shifting, it was pivoting from where to where, probably 367 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 2: more towards down the strength and conditioning path people. 368 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: And what does that mean though? 369 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 2: So more strength based training? Yeah, with more of a 370 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,719 Speaker 2: tailored or measured conditioning based. 371 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: So I did less aerobic stuff, less high intensity. 372 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 2: Less hit, more strength, And I could see. 373 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: Can I just stop it? Because that's really interesting, Daniel. 374 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: So for me anyway, hopefully the audience you saw it evolving. 375 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: Where did you see it evolving? Like it was something 376 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: you read is an interesting is it an industry forum? 377 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: How did you work out the mindset shift of let's 378 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: call it health fitness away from high intensity which is 379 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: a forty five and lots of other things to more 380 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: strength and conditioning. 381 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, to be fair, it's it's I used to really 382 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 2: use myself as the guinea pig of the programming and 383 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 2: the product, and for me it was always I could 384 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 2: always had my feelings out there on the industry and 385 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: who's setting standards in industry. But for me, like I 386 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 2: was never training in that hit environment every single day. 387 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 2: I was doing a lot more strength. I was doing 388 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 2: more tailored conditioning, more resilience building programming. And that is, 389 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 2: you know, when you're a trainer, and you know, I 390 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 2: always say when you're when you're an industry trainer, you're 391 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 2: passionate about the program you deliver, and if you're not 392 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 2: relating to it, and you can see trends and you know, 393 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 2: methods shift, you want to make sure that you're in 394 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 2: the seat to deliver that. 395 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: So was there some other model that you saw in 396 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: America for example? 397 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 2: No, not even not really. It was more just you know, 398 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 2: the way I wanted to train, you know. It was 399 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 2: it was strength, it was conditioning. It was a bit 400 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: of bodybuilding. You know everyone's still muscle masks. 401 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, not necessarily bodybuilding. It's a competit bit muscle mass. 402 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, muscle mass, you know, and you know elemented you 403 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 2: know a little bit more running and more experience based, 404 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 2: you know, more atmosphere based with with a proven product. 405 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 2: And I guess that was you know, we could see 406 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 2: a shift and the itch and the and the ambition 407 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 2: to develop a brand and deliver a better experience was 408 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 2: also you know, knocking on the door and this is 409 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: you and your wife. 410 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you discussed your stuff, I guess, so yeah, 411 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: yeah yeah. 412 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 2: It was like her background fashion, you know, so we 413 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 2: had you know, little fashion butiques at that time. I 414 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 2: was there forty five and and had her fashion label. 415 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: And I guess when you look at the yard as 416 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 2: a whole, that's where it's come from. It's come from 417 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 2: the fitness background and the time of footy five and 418 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 2: but it's also come from the fashion. It's come from 419 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,239 Speaker 2: the time only boutiques and those two worlds colliding is 420 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 2: is probably what's given us the yard. 421 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: How old are you now? 422 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 2: Just turn thirty four? 423 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: Okay, where's you go to school?

Yeah, he's a few years older 428 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 2: than me. 429 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: But woldn't that much? Maybe four two years? 430 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 2: Yeah Adam, Yeah for sure. He's perfume. Yeah he was. 431 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: He was Alijer yeah, him and Rochello. 432 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, we got in the gyms and because because. 433 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: He was playing footy, he played to Corona. Yeah yeah, yeah, 434 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: but I just wondered if you knew, because because you're 435 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: reminding me of him a lot, a lot, because a 436 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,239 Speaker 1: lot of really good entrepreneurs, hard working entrepreneurs, come out 437 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: of the Southern Try, Yeah, a lot plenty, and they've 438 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: all had careers in the trades and then somehow they've 439 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: decided to do something totally different, which is what you're 440 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: you've done, and so it's interesting. And also you and 441 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: your wife are together like him and his wife, and 442 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: they worked together as well, so you're so you're sitting 443 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: there in Las Vegas, were you with your wife? He 444 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: said time, maybe we should do it. I think was 445 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: the yard name you had at the time. 446 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 2: No, that's something evolved. Yeah, that evolved because obviously we 447 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 2: had to sell the gym. 448 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: So you sold the gyms, made money out of it. 449 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 2: We did really well. 450 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: That always helps. 451 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 2: YEP, that helps. Has eight years of work, did really well, 452 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 2: And that took time. That excep took time, and and 453 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 2: then what happened was it was crazy because we settled 454 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, but in mid February or so in 455 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 2: twenty twenty of the sale, so the settlement sale was 456 00:23:53,400 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 2: mid twenty in February, and I signed the to the 457 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 2: first Yard Gym, which is the original one now which HQ. 458 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 2: I signed it probably seven days prior to the settlement. 459 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: So we knew going to set up something. 460 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I found I had this summer. I was actually, 461 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 2: to be fair, the plan was to go to Hawaii 462 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 2: for a couple of months and compete in the Ocean 463 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 2: Paddling series over there. But then I found this location 464 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 2: in the Southern Shire and it was just an amazing 465 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 2: location that I could see HQ or I could see 466 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 2: the first new venture being in and I had to 467 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 2: have it, so I signed the lease to secure it. 468 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 2: We settled with there forty five a few days later, 469 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 2: and then I think it was only probably seven or 470 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 2: eight days later COVID hit Yeah, and then that probably 471 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 2: really allowed us to look when I look back, that 472 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 2: twelve months really molded us. You know. We had a 473 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 2: lot of time in our hands. We're very lucky, great timing, 474 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 2: and we spent the first lockdown. I did one on 475 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 2: one pts outside in the car park so I could 476 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 2: do one on one pts in the morning and in 477 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 2: the night. I spent all the day doing the fit out, 478 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 2: doing the plumbing, the renovations, building the model, and then 479 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 2: I filmed a at home, at home bodyweight workout that essentially 480 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 2: was like a body weight version of how the yard 481 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 2: trains and how the yard was going to train. And 482 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 2: I released it three days a week Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 483 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 2: and we filmed it, we got photographers in edited it, 484 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 2: posted it, and then I built out the social media 485 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 2: and everyone was doing these yard workouts through covid for free, 486 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 2: but then I was collecting all the data. We started 487 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 2: to sell them merchandise, but then I used all the 488 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 2: contacts to sell them the foundation memberships as we opened, 489 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 2: So we opened up with like two hundred and twenty 490 00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 2: members and yeah, it was. It was fantastic for the 491 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 2: first twelve months until covid came back. 492 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: Let's go to the break and come back from When 493 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: I come back from the break, I want to talk 494 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: about you know what the business model is and how 495 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: are you going with it in relation to the yard. 496 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: I also want to know what, apart from the business model, 497 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: what the curriculum is.

How did you 514 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: go straight? We've obviously gone early gone to it because 515 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: you opened up in twenty twenty, you went through the 516 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: COVID period. It's only twenty twenty four into twenty twenty four. 517 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,719 Speaker 1: That's three years you went to the US straight up, 518 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: straight up early doors. 519 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we franchised, so to be fair like I wasn't. 520 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 2: I didn't leave forty five to start a franchise. No, 521 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 2: I was happy with one. Yeah, but we did so 522 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 2: well in that twelve month stint that in the second lockdown, 523 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 2: OR had all my trainers outside doing PT workouts where 524 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 2: I was like, this brand is this product's too good. 525 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 2: I need to expand. So I build a franchise network 526 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 2: in the second lockdown and I said to my account 527 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 2: and you know, I'll be happy with three or four, 528 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 2: you know, if we get to it. But it turned 529 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 2: it out that we so we launched a franchise network 530 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. That's when we said we're now live. 531 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 2: We're going to start franchising. And I had a good 532 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 2: friend of mine who you know, he lives in Coronala now, 533 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: but he spent six or seven years in the US 534 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 2: as a property broker and spent a lot of time 535 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 2: there and he loved He was training in CARINGBA and 536 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 2: he loved it. And he said like, you know, we've 537 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 2: got to take this back to the US. And he 538 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 2: opened up the first franchise in San Diego and that 539 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 2: was our fourth franchise. Dave open Wow. 540 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, did he want himself. 541 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got now got two inns San Diego too. 542 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe you can explain to me what the curriculum 543 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,479 Speaker 1: is like then. So you said to me earlier on 544 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: that and before the break that you found that you 545 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: personally that really is a survey one, but that you're 546 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: more interested in interested in strength and conditioning and less 547 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: interested in the high intensity of stuff to hit stuff. 548 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: What is your curriculum? Now, give me an example, like 549 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: how does it work? 550 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 2: So typically, so essentially the training product, there's two programs. 551 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 2: One's called RIG and one's called turf. They run side 552 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 2: by side at the same time, at the same time 553 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 2: off the same timer. Your RIG work Your RIG workout 554 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 2: is strength and your turf workout is conditioning. So now 555 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 2: when you walk in to the yard, the client has 556 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 2: a choice what they want to do that day. 557 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: So they make a booking yep. 558 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 2: You still book in yep, but you can choose do 559 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 2: you want to do a RIG or do you want 560 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 2: to do turf? 561 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: Do you have to say that before you get in 562 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: there or. 563 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 2: You just on your booking app? 564 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: So I feel like turf today, Yeah, hit turf. 565 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 2: That's your conditioning day, right, But it's one atmosphere. So 566 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 2: five am they all walk in together, they warm up together, 567 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 2: then they'll split sides and the guys that are working 568 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 2: on turf they hit turf and then the guys that 569 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 2: are working on rig they hit their rig workout. 570 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: Right, what is like, what's rigged we're talking about? 571 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? So rig strength is broken down into the main focus. 572 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 2: It works on an eight week cycle, eight week strength 573 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 2: block that kind of re engineers itself every eight weeks, 574 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 2: but it's broken down into three major lifts. So you 575 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 2: squat your bench and your deadlift and that's always the 576 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 2: first component, all right, So the first component of your 577 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 2: strength workout will always be a compound lift and against 578 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 2: your strength block depends on where you sit, so if 579 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 2: it's high reps, low reps, and everything always ends up 580 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 2: to building into a three r M a three rep max. 581 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 2: The most interesting part is that if you do RIG 582 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 2: on Monday, then you know that on Tuesday you'll got 583 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 2: to go to the turf because you're going to get 584 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 2: the right conditioning workout. Clients can choose, they can double 585 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 2: up on the rig if they. 586 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: Like, and twenty four has recover, so. 587 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so it makes sense that they go to turf. 588 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 2: If you do turf on Monday and your conditioning workout, 589 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 2: then you know you've got to go to the rig and. 590 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: We're talking about three reps. Excuse me and rig, we're 591 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: talk about three reps. 592 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, we build down to a three rep max. 593 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: But let me build down. 594 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 2: So we'll start at week one. Just say, in week 595 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 2: one of the strength phase, we might be hitting anywhere 596 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 2: between eight to ten reps, so you. 597 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: Might be lifting seventy five percent of your max YEP. 598 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: And that's always the first component. There's always two or 599 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: three components of the workouts. The second component will always 600 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: build into more of a power power phase and more complexes, 601 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: you know, a little bit more edges of body building 602 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: in there, so triceps and biceps. And then your third 603 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: component or the last ten minutes of his strength piece 604 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: is always a strength endurance piece. So you know, it 605 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: might be a drop set on the bench built in 606 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: with you know, a twenty and fifty meter row sprint, 607 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: you know, something to get the energy going. It's something 608 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: to really burn out and build an endurance, that strength 609 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: endurance of what you do. But you know there's so 610 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: many elements to it, because yes it works, Yes it's proven, 611 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: but you know, it's an experience as well. It's atmosphere, 612 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: you know, and that last ten to fifteen minutes is 613 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: everything to the client. So there's so many reasons of 614 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: why we do certain things and how RIGG and turf 615 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: came about, but essentially it works between a strength and 616 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: conditioning program. And you know that if you do rig 617 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: one day, you're going to get the right conditioning on 618 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: the turf the next day because at the end of 619 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: the day, you get stronger. 620 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 2: You've got to be fit out to be fitty, you 621 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:39,479 Speaker 2: got to be stronger. 622 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: Who you're writing the program? Yeah, writ yes, so that's 623 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: probably nearly a full time thing. 624 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 2: Full time. Yeah. So the original ones are testing studio, 625 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 2: so we'll write against all the phases it. 626 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: Every franchise does it on the same days. 627 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'll test the workouts. We'll test them for 628 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 2: about two weeks and then we filter and filter them 629 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 2: and then by the hit them by the time they 630 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 2: hit the network. There. 631 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: So when my franchise, E, what do I get? Like 632 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: what do I sign up for? But what do you 633 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: give me in terms of curriculums, support. 634 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 2: Support, operation manuals, launch processes, social media? 635 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: Do you do the social media for me. 636 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 2: Yep, yep, We've got a full social team, did your 637 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 2: ad specialists? 638 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: So is it is an overall social media program for 639 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: the art? Or is it is it? 640 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 2: Is it? 641 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: Do you give me a social media program for the 642 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: art at Coronala? 643 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 2: So is it? 644 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: Do I go to at the yard coronal with. 645 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 2: The it's personalized specific to your demographic, your target market. 646 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 2: But our network health is one of the biggest departments 647 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 2: in the office right now. 648 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: What's that? 649 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 2: So network health is is the support to the network 650 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 2: and I think for most franchise. 651 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: Oors that's paying the ass. 652 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it is, but you know there's yeah, but 653 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 2: most of them haven't been a franchise e like I 654 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 2: was eight years Yeah. 655 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: So you know what you know what the customer, which 656 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: is the franchise e, yeah, once and what they need. 657 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 2: Yeah. 658 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: How much of obviously forty five didn't get too well 659 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: in the end. You still see something around, but it's 660 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: nowhere knew that it was at its peak. How much 661 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: of that let's call it demise assisted you in the 662 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 1: air because I know there's a lot of yard franchises 663 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: we used to be a forty five because I've seen them. 664 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're very brand.

But a lot of that 671 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 2: motivation does come from, you know, having to work it 672 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 2: out myself for probably seven years prior so. But it's positive. 673 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 2: You know, the networks thriving. They love the health team, 674 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,720 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a really exciting I guess space to being. 675 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 1: Franchising is a tough business. I mean, I'm talking in 676 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: terms of the franchise legislation and the sort of shit 677 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: that're going to happen. It seems like you're, through experience 678 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: as a franchise have sort of turned around, not in 679 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: your favor, but balance the books, so to speak, managed 680 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 1: to create a balance. What are the dangers of for 681 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: some of the might be dissing, What are the dangers 682 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: of thinking, Oh, I've got a great idea, I can 683 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,280 Speaker 1: actually distribute this idea through distribution points which are franchisees. 684 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: What are the things that franchise He's not necessarily your, 685 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,879 Speaker 1: but just generally, what should they be aware of? And 686 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 1: what should franchise oors who you know, someone with a 687 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: great idea, what should they be aware of? What should 688 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: they be thinking about? 689 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 2: For franchisees, I think the hidden costs. There's a lot 690 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 2: of hidden costs, and some franchisors or franchise companies not 691 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 2: so much the franchiseors, they like to kind of play 692 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 2: on those hidden costs. It's like there's a charge, yeah, 693 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 2: and and things you probably oversee when you've run through 694 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 2: your fd D, your franchise agreements and your due diligence. 695 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 2: There can be a lot of little hidden percentages and 696 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 2: costs that can really weigh up. 697 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, like a percentage of this revenue relative to marketing views. 698 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, tran funds and tech fees and and I think 699 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 2: from a franchise's perspective, it is always to really ensure 700 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 2: that you've you understand the complete model of what you're buying. 701 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 2: And that's what I've tried do really well is be 702 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 2: quite upfront, transparent from the get go. Is this is 703 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 2: the cost you know, and we'll be upfront with it. 704 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 2: But from a franchise or if you're starting out, then 705 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 2: the biggest advice I can give is don't sell to 706 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 2: the wrong people, be patient, choose your franchise, your franchisees, 707 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 2: don't sell for the sake of selling back yourself, and 708 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 2: be patient because when you're patient and you stay focused, 709 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 2: then it will happen. 710 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: Do you think, Dan, do you think it's better to 711 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: do that than it is to say, go out and 712 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: open all your own In other words, open fifty stores 713 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: which you and your wife home. Is better to have 714 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 1: the franchisees opening the stores in your brand with your curriculum? 715 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: Is that better? Then say no, No, I'd rather own 716 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: fifty myself. I mean, you'll get fifty yourself. It tastes 717 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 1: a lot longer because a lot. 718 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 2: Of yea speeds everything. It depends depends on what you're after. 719 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: Yea, it's speed is important. Speed is so important because 720 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 1: someone else will copy you if you were successful. 721 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you've got to move quick yep. And that's 722 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 2: the balance of selling for the sake of selling. But 723 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 2: you've got to be patient. 724 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,840 Speaker 1: What was your biggest challenge in that process? Because you know, 725 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: I've got a great idea. I know my industry and 726 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 1: copies everybody else as soon as they know I'm being 727 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,760 Speaker 1: successful and got lots of flywood. In terms of inquiry, 728 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: someone's going to copy me. Not hard to pivot everybody else. 729 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: What was your experience in terms of mistakes, for example, 730 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 1: when you're doing this balancing going too fast but also 731 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: being too careful and not putting people on. 732 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think like I've always for me, I've always 733 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 2: been like, I'll get myself into the position and I'll 734 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 2: get it. I'll work it out, you know, I'll back 735 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 2: myself in and I just in the early you know, 736 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 2: getting a franchise system the ground's not easy. Like you know, 737 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 2: you've got to get runs on the board, you've got 738 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 2: to get people to purchase, put your cash in, and 739 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 2: you've got to build trust. So it's funny because you 740 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 2: always try, you know, you start a franchise network and 741 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 2: you're like, I've got to make a sale. I've got 742 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 2: to get a sale. I've got to I've got to 743 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 2: get my first franchise. For me, it was a little different. 744 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,439 Speaker 2: I had eight staff at forty five main staff members 745 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 2: that were with me for seven years. All of those 746 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 2: staff members either work for me in HQ or now 747 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 2: owner yard. So the first two or three yards were 748 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,879 Speaker 2: you know, my ex staff members who heard that Dan, 749 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 2: I want one. So for me, you know that that 750 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 2: hard kind of time came at like Studio three, Studio four. 751 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 2: But it was all just you know, when someone's wanting 752 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 2: to buy something you've worked so hard to build a 753 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,400 Speaker 2: system and build some traction and conversation, it's tough to 754 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 2: say no. You got to you have to say no, 755 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 2: and it's not it's not normal to try and develop 756 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 2: the sale. 757 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,720 Speaker 1: And so do you sort of you and your wife, 758 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: do you profile the time of individuals looking for you 759 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: just sort of see these are characteristics are after. 760 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you still interview people.

Yeah, it's a bigger market too, like 775 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: there's it's a bit different here. 776 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, this is a whole another level way, 777 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 2: a lot of another level way way in a we're 778 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 2: not even a drop. 779 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 1: So how do you go for partnership? So as you 780 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: and your wife, But did you in terms of expansion 781 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: do you bring in investors? 782 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,720 Speaker 2: We haven't brought in We're brought in a partner. Who's 783 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,320 Speaker 2: your part So Rob Deutsch from a forty five forty 784 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 2: five so deutchy jumped on and he's a partner. He's 785 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 2: he's a strategic advisor. But the company is very you know, 786 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 2: positive self sufficient. So you know, we didn't build it. 787 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 2: We didn't take on any you know, private equity investment 788 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 2: or anything like that, which which helps because when you 789 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 2: are growing and when you've got you haven't got the 790 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:45,280 Speaker 2: pressure of external investment, you can take your time and 791 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 2: make the right cause. But when you do take on 792 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 2: that private equity or you take on any private investment, 793 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 2: you know you're under pressure. Yeah, we're very lucky. We 794 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 2: don't have that, so we can make the right cause. 795 00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 2: But you know, Deutsche jumped on. He's been incredible over 796 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 2: always said, you know, lean on the past and focus 797 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 2: on the future. And and that's that's the reason why 798 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 2: you know, Rob's so valuable to us, is that he 799 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 2: guides us. He's done it before, you know. 800 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 1: He's made the mistakes too, and he knows when the 801 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: mistakes are coming because you probably haven't yet you've been 802 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,280 Speaker 1: blessed with success. 803 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well not this. Yeah, we haven't done this level, 804 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 2: you know, So. 805 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,360 Speaker 1: You haven't been blessed for failure. Yes, yet hopefully you 806 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 1: will have something. Hopefully it's not too bad though, and 807 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 1: you can recover from quickly. Yeah. But that's why you 808 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 1: need someone who in the involved with the business who 809 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: has failed. And I'm not saying what he was a failure. 810 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,320 Speaker 1: Obviously he got out, so he was actually a success. 811 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:48,359 Speaker 1: But he saw the failures, he experienced them, and so 812 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 1: theren where to from here? So what's what's the vision, mate? 813 00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,760 Speaker 2: To build the greatest fitness franchise that world's ever seen. 814 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 2: And that's literally as far as it gets right now. 815 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:08,240 Speaker 2: It's the vision. It's to change people's lives globally and 816 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 2: to build a very stable strength and additioning franchise brand. 817 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 2: We want to build a brand, not just a facility. 818 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 1: Does the brand resonate the Yard brand as a word, 819 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 1: Does it resonate in the US? 820 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 2: Yeah?

It's orange theory, 830 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:03,320 Speaker 2: you know, Barry's dark rooms, lights, people with microphones, you know, Hollywood. 831 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,360 Speaker 2: And I gave them a little speech about building resilience 832 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 2: and you've got to grab your mate today and take 833 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 2: them along, and I guarantee you by the end of 834 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 2: this workout you'd be, you know, that little bit better 835 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 2: every single time. And they took it on like that 836 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 2: was like they'll go onto war on it. You know 837 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 2: like they you know, So it's resonated unbelievable over there. 838 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:26,800 Speaker 2: It's it's incredible to see all the merchandise walking around 839 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 2: and so many people resonated with the brand and the 840 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,280 Speaker 2: mission and the vision and the brand values is very strong. 841 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: So what happens if well, what do you do if 842 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: you're sitting at another one of these VIP events of 843 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 1: your own and you're starting to think yourself for yourself? 844 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,760 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure about strength and conditioning anymore. 845 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,279 Speaker 1: Maybe in this phase of my life I want to 846 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 1: do I don't know, high in density. Again, let's go 847 00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 1: back the other way. What will you do? 848 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 2: Will you? 849 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 1: Will you start to change up your curriculum? 850 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,239 Speaker 2: Innovation is everything too many right now, you know? 851 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: And so because this is an important point, so your you, 852 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,760 Speaker 1: you would say ei though that whilst you believe in 853 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 1: your curriculum at the moment, you won't be one of 854 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 1: those stubborn people who goes, this is the curriculum that's 855 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: the only one of the works, because if something new 856 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: comes along, you will at least consider it. Not in 857 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 1: love with your ideas probably I mean in love with 858 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,280 Speaker 1: you about it, yes, I mean love with my brand, 859 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 1: not the curriculum, but the curriculum. 860 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 2: Needs to be nimble enough to change. And I think 861 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,799 Speaker 2: that is what the issue was for me as a 862 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 2: franchise ease. Yeah, I was delivering the same workout in 863 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen and what I did in twenty twenty twelve. 864 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,960 Speaker 2: And you've got to evolve from equipment, experience, you know, tech, 865 00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,319 Speaker 2: You've got to stay at the front. We're lucky at 866 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:03,000 Speaker 2: the moment. A lot of people, you know, try to 867 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 2: just do what we're doing, and you know, they try 868 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 2: to try to copy it. And that's that's fine. You know, 869 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 2: we don't get offended by it. We actually. 870 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:13,839 Speaker 1: Admirations emulations. 871 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 2: So but what they don't know is the next step. Yeah, 872 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,239 Speaker 2: And what they don't know is you're you're always going 873 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:20,799 Speaker 2: to We're always going to have that that. 874 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,200 Speaker 1: Edge, yeah, innovation. And I think that's a really good point, Daniel, 875 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 1: like be uh, you know, really passionate about what you're 876 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 1: doing your mission, but be prepared to change up because 877 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 1: none of us control what our customers want. The customers 878 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: control what they want. And as long as we're talking 879 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 1: to them and we're watching them and we know what 880 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,280 Speaker 1: they're doing or what they want, little little small changes 881 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,920 Speaker 1: along the way, they don't even notice it. And do 882 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 1: you get to a point where you're if there's been 883 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 1: a big change, if you look back a couple of years, 884 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,760 Speaker 1: you go, that's a big change where we started. 885 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean even if I look at I go 886 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 2: back and look at old photos of when we started 887 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,920 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, and I look at the brand for 888 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 2: what it was then to what it is now, and 889 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:11,000 Speaker 2: it's like, holy, you know, it's it's a whole nother level. 890 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,200 Speaker 2: So innovation for us from equipment, tech, experience, fit outs, 891 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,239 Speaker 2: it's continuing to you know, it's just evolving and evolving. 892 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 2: And you know you're when times are good, you've got 893 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,799 Speaker 2: to you've got to continue to innovate. Yeah, And I 894 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,439 Speaker 2: think that's one thing we struggled with at forty five 895 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,719 Speaker 2: is when times were good, we didn't innovator. 896 00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: Well, when you're an forty five, you weren't the person 897 00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,439 Speaker 1: who had to innovate. You're one of the franchisees. Forty 898 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 1: five didn't have an innovator in there. That's that's the issue. 899 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,000 Speaker 1: And I guess what you're saying here is the that 900 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:49,000 Speaker 1: you and your missus, your new wife take that out missus. 901 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,360 Speaker 1: But you and your wife, I'm going to recognize and 902 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 1: you're going to continue to innovate, probably for no other reason, 903 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: if for no other reason that you experienced the lack 904 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 1: of that in your old franchise system, because that's what 905 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,839 Speaker 1: franchises want. Yeah, your game is to give franchise is 906 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,080 Speaker 1: what they want. Franchise these games. See what the customer wants. 907 00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 2: So we're going to give them the tools. 908 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's your job. That's that's your deal as a 909 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 1: franchise or well, and I wish you the very best. 910 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 1: Thanks for much.

We did the turf workout, conditioning, so inval 914 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 2: weight training, but it made it was on, it was on. 915 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 1: And how how long was one of your sessions? 916 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,760 Speaker 2: They're fifty minutes. Fifty minutes, so a little bit longer 917 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:39,080 Speaker 2: than your standard hit training, a bit more emphasis around 918 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 2: the warm up and sixty minutes on the weekend. 919 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,560 Speaker 1: And what are you trying to do get your heart 920 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 1: rate up to it?

What are we talking about in 922 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,920 Speaker 1: terms of you know max stuff. 923 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all energy systems, so length on length of 924 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 2: time on the machines, on thegs, we use a lot 925 00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:01,399 Speaker 2: of ergs. Just allows everyone to train at a level. 926 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 2: But you know, it drops the risk of injury and soreness, 927 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 2: but you know a lot. So so yeah, we you know, 928 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 2: we really try to target our right energy systems at 929 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 2: the right time based on our strength program.
