    Podcast Summary

    In this episode of Business Secrets for Gym Owners, Vince breaks down what might be one of the most unexpectedly valuable business lessons he’s come across — all sparked by taking his family to WWE Monday Night Raw at Madison Square Garden.

    From fan energy to flawless production to world-class promotion, Vince unpacks what WWE does better than almost any business on earth — and how gym owners can steal these strategies to improve their marketing, member experience, and long-term growth.

    He also dives into how WWE’s flagship events — WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series — stay on the calendar like clockwork every year… and why gyms should model that exact structure when planning their annual promotions and challenges.


    5 Key Points

    1. Win the Crowd
      Wrestlers have one job: get the audience to react. Your job as a gym owner is the same — earn your members’ attention, loyalty, and excitement consistently.
    2. Study What Works
      The Rock, Hogan, Cena… they weren’t accidental stars. They understood emotion, timing, and storytelling — the same skills that drive great gym marketing.
    3. Build Flagship Promotions
      WWE doesn’t reinvent its event calendar every year. Neither should you. Lock in your annual January, fall, and pre-summer promos and make them staples.
    4. Create Repeatable Assets
      Your campaigns should be built once and reused for years — not rebuilt from scratch every time you need leads. That’s how real scalability works.
    5. 50 Strong Is an Example of This Done Right
      Vince’s 50 Strong program is a fully built challenge that engages current members, attracts new ones, and becomes a reusable annual revenue asset.

    Podcast Summary

    In this episode of Business Secrets for Gym Owners, Vince pulls no punches — this one is a straight-up sales pitch for his Black Friday offer, the 50 Strong Playbook.

    50 Strong is the exact marketing campaign Vince created for his gym when he needed something fresh to replace the “New Year Fat Loss Challenge.” Inspired by 75 Hard, he built a challenge that focused on accountability, toughness, and consistency — not weight loss — and it crushed.

    The first time he ran it, 36 non-members joined and 29 converted to paid memberships. Since then, Vince has packaged the entire system so gym owners can plug it into their business and run it themselves, complete with email campaigns, ad copy, booklets, flyers, updated scripts, and bonus reactivation tools.


    5 Key Points

    1. A Proven Campaign You Can Use Every Year
      50 Strong isn’t a one-off promo — it’s a repeatable marketing asset you can dust off and relaunch annually for predictable results.
    2. Turnkey Done-For-You Materials
      You get everything: emails, ads, booklets, flyers, follow-up scripts, and even updated ad copy for 2026. It’s plug-and-play.
    3. Three High-Value Bonuses
      Vince includes the Reactivation Playbook, a ticket to a live event, and a full gym business audit call — all part of the Black Friday package.
    4. Designed to Attract Non-Members AND Engage Current Ones
      Clients love the structure and challenge. It’s different from traditional fat loss programs and boosts retention and referrals.
    5. It’s an Income-Producing Asset
      Vince emphasizes that 50 Strong is a long-term money maker — not a one-off gimmick. Run it again and again to generate revenue on repeat.

    Podcast Summary

    In this episode of Business Secrets for Gym Owners, Vince shares his ultimate formula for creating your best year ever — the exact process he uses every December with his private mastermind members during his Annual Planning Workshop.

    After running this event for six straight years, Vince walks you through the structure of the day: reviewing the wins and lessons from the past year, identifying the most important data points in your business, and building a simple, clear one-year plan you can actually execute.

    He also reveals the new additions for this year’s workshop, including AI-powered planning prompts, upgraded personal life planning, and the “Masogi” framework — choosing one year-defining challenge that raises your standards for the rest of your life.

    Whether you're closing out your best year or your toughest year, this system gives you the clarity, confidence, and direction to walk into 2026 with momentum.


    5 Key Points

    1. The Value Is in the Process
      Planning forces clarity, reflection, and ownership — even if things don’t go exactly as mapped.
    2. A Four-Part Framework
      You’ll build your strategy around business planning, personal goals, productivity, and Q1 marketing.
    3. Keep It Simple
      Complex plans die. Simple, clear goals create action and consistency.
    4. Choose Your Masogi
      One big annual challenge becomes the theme and highlight of your year — mentally and physically.
    5. Live Option Added This Year
      For the first time, Vince is hosting the workshop live at the brand new FBU Headquarters, with limited in-person spots and unlimited virtual access.


    If you don’t want to wing it for another year and you’re ready to map out the exact plan for your best year ever, join me for my Annual Planning Workshop.
