How a Gym Owner Survived COVID and Built a Stronger Fitness Community | Corey Lewis

Building a business is easy compared to building one that actually lasts.

In this episode, I sit down with Corey Lewis, CEO and Owner of Xtra Mile Fitness, to talk about leadership, resilience, and what it takes to grow through hard seasons without losing your values. We unpack what it means to build a business around people, culture, and long-term thinking instead of quick wins.

Corey founded Xtra Mile Fitness in 2012 with a simple mission: help people become stronger physically and mentally through coaching and community. Over the years, he’s built more than a gym. He’s built an environment where accountability, leadership, and personal growth come first.

This conversation goes beyond fitness. It’s about navigating uncertainty, leading a team with intention, and creating a business that supports your life instead of consuming it.

If you’re a business owner or leader trying to grow while staying aligned with your values, this episode will resonate.
