About this episode
One thing I’m always leery of are fitness industry buzzwords.
For instance when people start talking about cleanses, detoxes, or fitness “challenges” I’m immediately skeptical.
And in that same vein, you here all kinds of people today talking about gym culture.
But what does that really MEAN?
Can you truly create a gym culture?
And if so, what are some ways you can ensure that your gym’s culture is truly elite?
Well if you’re curious about this, then you’re going to LOVE today’s episode with my good friend Andy McCloy!

He’s also recently joined forces with Luka Hocevar to create the Built to Last gym mentorship, and in this show, we’re going to talk about what it really takes to develop world-class coaches and an elite gym culture!
