Episode Focus: Insights from Tony Gentilcore on the Fitness Industry Trajectory and Business Building

In this particular episode, it is with great pleasure that I engage in a discussion with Tony Gentilcore. Our conversation delves into the intricacies of how he meticulously charted his course within the highly competitive fitness industry. Moreover, we explore the strategies through which he has successfully established a flourishing business, leveraging coaching, writing, and educational endeavors.

Tony Gentilcore was one of the co - founders of Cressey Sports Performance (CSP). Post his departure from CSP in 2016, he has been dedicated to training individuals at his own studio, CORE, situated in Boston, MA.

During our in - depth conversation, Tony expounded on several key aspects:

• The Misconception of Gym Ownership: Owning one's own gym does not necessarily represent the ultimate benchmark of success within the fitness industry.

• Diverse Career Avenues: There exist alternative career trajectories that individuals can pursue to attain a fulfilling and financially rewarding career in the fitness domain.

• Educational Workshop Evolution: The process by which he developed his educational workshops, and the transition of these workshops to an online format during the pandemic.

• The Challenge of Imposter Syndrome: Despite his extensive global presentations, training of numerous elite athletes, and frequent features in a multitude of publications, he still occasionally grapples with imposter syndrome.

• The Rarity of Single Workshops: The rationale behind his infrequent delivery of single workshops.

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview, and I am confident that you will glean substantial value from Tony's profound insights and wealth of experience.
