My mission is to help the best gym owners make the most money by Transforming the most lives

“I went from $23,000 a month doing every session myself — to over $100,000/month doing zero sessions.”

When I first met Vince in 2018, I was making about $23,000 a month, but I was doing it by training almost every single session myself. I thought personal training was nothing more than a one man show, and I couldn't see a future beyond grinding out 70 sessions a week. I was exhausted, frustrated, and ready to quit. Vince completely changed that. He showed me how to turn what I thought was 'just training' into a real business that didn't depend on me running myself into the ground. In my first year working with Vince, we scaled beyond $40,000 a month. Fast forward to today, we do well over $100,000 a month while I train zero sessions. I've gone from one location to three, with the lease signed on my fourth as I write this. I was honored to be recognized as his first Gym Owner of the Year. More importantly, I've gone from being stuck in the weeds to running a business I'm proud of.

“Not only did I sell my gym at the age of 34 — I sold it for $2.45 million.”

I started working with SPF two years ago and it was one of the best business decisions I've made. I've always dreamed about growing and selling my gym before the age of 40 and working with SPF helped me build the gym, team, and systems to do just that. Not only did I sell my gym at the age of 34 but I was able to sell it for 2.45 million dollars. If you're a gym owner looking to grow your business (and possibly sell one day) I can't recommend working with SPF enough.

“I was struggling to make $4k/month — now we're making $60,000/month and have more freedom than ever.”

When I first started following Vince I was struggling, making about $4K a month. I had just started my gym and had no idea how to market and get people in the door. I started implementing principles that I have learned over the last couple years and now we're doing $60k a month. Now, I have more freedom than ever.

“From $8,333/month and burnt out — to $60,000/month and traveling the world.”

Hey Vince, I just wanted to tell you something! 15 months after opening our dream gym, we were on a fast track to a burnout I couldn't recover from. SPF gave us the tools and helped us set the boundaries we needed to save our gym, our marriage, and transform our life. Because of you and SPF, me and my husband Bobby went from $100k to $720k in revenue in 4 years. $30k to $270k in profit. From one crummy gym to 2 thriving ones. From no days off (not even Sundays) to 8 weeks off a year traveling the world. And from zero coaches to an amazing team of 4 coaches who love what they do! If you told us back in 2020 that we could earn this much, vacation this often, be able to go back to Spain to visit my family, and have this kind of freedom, we never would've believed it. Vince, you and SPF have changed our life.

“From $0 to $434,012 in 12 months — with $194,600 in owner benefit.”

Vince, happy Sunday. I am excited to share with you that we have successfully completed 1 full year in business with the conclusion of May. Not in my wildest dreams would I think that in the first year in business we would surpass $400k in top line. Our final total — although 4 or 5 transactions have to be buttoned up and reconciled — we are looking at finishing the first 12 months at $434,012, and we were able to stay true to a 47% owner benefit, which was my goal: $194,600! This is not possible without the SPF team helping me in the process. I am confident that we would have had some success but not to this degree, and more importantly, with this amount of speed.

“We went from a $400,000 business to $800,000.”

I started with SPF because at that time my company was stagnant and we weren't growing as much as I would like. I also was wanting some type of community. SPF and the CEO program have provided both. Being around like-minded individuals who are going through the same journey is priceless. Having others look at your business with a different lens helps you see things you were missing. It's a great investment in yourself and your business. We went from a $400,000 business to $800,000. Thanks Vince and to all of the SPF staff and members. I'm grateful!

“I was nearly $1 million in debt — today we're debt free with $277,000 in our bank account.”

Two years ago I had $500 in my bank account, was in nearly $1 million in debt, and we were on food stamps. I could barely feed my family of four. Today we have over $100,000 in our personal account, $277,000 in our business account in cash, and will be debt free by the end of the year. Thank you for your mentorship, Vince. I couldn't have done it without you.

“From $20k/month on the verge of burnout — to $60k/month with the freedom to enjoy my wife and 4 kids.”

Before I started with Vince and the SPF Team I was a one man show, doing everything, and on the verge of burnout. I didn't know what I needed to do to progress the business that I loved when I started, but was quickly running head first into 'hate' territory. Vince helped me establish a clear path — a plan — which I didn't have previously. With my time in SPF I've gone from grossing just over $20k per month to $60k per month, coaching 50-60 hours per week to less than 20 hours per week, and now I have a team that I can confidently rely on while I'm working outside the business, and more importantly, when I'm spending time with my wife and 4 kids. Greater freedom of time, along with the amazing mindset work that Vince places so much emphasis on, has allowed me to finally enjoy the work, enjoy my business, and enjoy my growing family.

“From $15k/month and 30 members — to $60k/month and 200 members in the same space.”

I had already been training for 20 years, so I had a lot of experience as a trainer, but I was 'winging it' as a business owner. One of the many things that attracted me to the mastermind is the fact that Vince actually owns a gym and has experience in building a successful business. Before I joined the mastermind I was averaging $15,000 in revenue each month with around 30 total members in 2,200 square feet of space. Each year since then we have had consistent growth, up to where we are currently averaging $60,000 per month in revenue with 200 members in the same space, and still growing. There is no way I could have done this without the support from Vince, the SPF team, and the other gym owners in the mastermind group.

“From stuck at $18k/month — to $60k with a team of 8 and the freedom to step away and enjoy life.”

When we joined the Mastermind in November of 2018, Active Life Fitness had been open for two years and we were struggling trying to break $18K/month. Plus, we were still doing most of the training, which left little time for marketing and little time to have a life. With guidance from Vince, his team, and other members of this amazing group, revenue grew by 33% in 2019 and reached a high month of $29K. The additional revenue plus your lessons on leadership gave us the resources and confidence to hire and develop a great team. That was a game changer, freeing us up to focus on acquiring and retaining clients, and even more important, to start getting our lives back. We carried that momentum into early 2020 hitting $32K in March. Then the pandemic set us back considerably. We honestly don't think ALF would have survived those dark days without the leadership, strategies, and tactics Vince provided. Fast forward to today: we now have a team of 8 generating $60K/month — and still growing. Best of all, we now have the freedom to step away, recharge, and enjoy life.

“From $15k/month and close to quitting — to $550K/year and opening a second location.”

When I first joined your group, I was in my second year of business and honestly was close to quitting. We had opened our first physical space and I was doing everything myself — literally opening at 5am and sometimes pulling all-nighters. And even with that, I was barely getting by. Around $15K/month. And it felt like I was building something I didn't even want anymore. What changed everything was being in this room. I had been in other mastermind groups before, but this one felt different. The first thing that hit me was the abundance — people in SPF don't size you up or gatekeep. And the way you teach, man — it made the 'business stuff' finally click. Marketing, systems, operations — that felt like another language before. Four years later, we're now $550K/year and opening our second location. But more than that, I like who I've become through this.

“From struggling at $19k — to $40k+ recurring revenue and trending to $50K months.”

I came to Vince and the SPF in early 2020 with a business that had been stuck at $240K for 3 consecutive years. I wasn't earning a living wage, my business wasn't profitable, and the stress was bleeding into my family life. One month after working with Vince, the pandemic hit. Married with 5 boys and 2 getting ready for college, I was in a complete panic. On several occasions, Vince told me the biggest stranglehold on the business was the mindset of the owner. While upgrading my mindset, he helped me completely reimagine my business model, transitioning from large group training to a small group model. Thanks to his guidance, my annual revenue will have doubled by the end of 2025. I went from struggling to stay above $19K per month to recurring revenues averaging more than $40K. Currently I'm trending to hit a $50k month by the end of the year. I'm earning more money and loving my business again — and my family has a better husband and father.

“My accountant is finally happy — profits up 200%.”

Good morning Vince, wanted to share a win with you! Got this email from my accountant on Friday — and I wouldn't be able to do it without you, your leadership, and support. The email read: 'Congratulations on a great year! Your gross receipts were up 60% since 2022. Your profits were up more than 200%. We wish you continued success.'

“From barely clearing $100K and trapped doing everything myself — to $250K with family time, vacation time, and helping more people than ever.”

When I first started Empowered Training, I was working day and night, 6-7 days a week. Doing everything myself, from coaching clients to cleaning equipment, barely clearing $100K a year. Joining SPF completely shifted how I viewed business ownership. Instead of just being a trainer with a gym, I became a business owner with a vision. Since then, I've grown from under $100K to well over $250K a year, built a strong team, added multiple training programs, and created systems that allow me to actually run the business instead of being trapped in it. Best part? I get to spend more time with my family, take vacation time, while still growing the gym and helping more people than ever. The community and mentorship from Vince and the SPF team truly changed the trajectory of my business and my life.

“Before SPF, I was a singular gym owner, burnt out. After SPF, I've got a great team and two locations that are both thriving.”

As the only person in my business, my biggest pain point was not knowing how to make moves to get more business, and how to build a team — I felt alone and overwhelmed. SPF gives you the confidence to overcome any of these roadblocks that you have in your head through constant education; with like-minded individuals, you're sharing ideas, and creating new things all the time just by interacting with all the other members. Before SPF, I was a singular gym owner, burnt out. Since SPF, I've got a great team and I've got two locations that are both thriving.

“I've joined other masterminds, but the SPF Mastermind is the best investment I've ever made in myself and my business.”

I've been to other fitness business mentorships and I've joined other masterminds, but Vince's SPF Mastermind is hands down the best investment I've ever made in myself and in my business. I left the first weekend with more clarity and direction than ever before. The weekly calls are great because they keep me focused and on task. Vince has built an amazingly successful fitness business of his own which enables him to bring real-world advice in real time. I'd recommend this mastermind to any gym owner looking to optimize their business!

“Before SPF, I was making $9k a month working 7 days a week. After SPF, I'm making over $40k a month and pick my son up from school every day.”

“Before SPF, we ran our business by the seat of our pants. Since joining, our revenue has grown significantly.”

Our systems were not well-established… we didn't have a marketing system in place to produce predictable lead generation. Before SPF, we ran our business a bit better than by the seat of our pants. Since joining SPF, revenue has grown significantly, and we've been able to take a distinct leadership role of a remarkable team that allows us to focus our time on growing the business and not being IN the gym as full-time coaches.

“I've 50x'd my monthly investment.”

Before joining SPF, my gym was making $8k/month with zero staff members and I had absolutely no marketing in place. The cost was a big stretch for me. Since joining, my business feels like an input-output machine that I have complete control over. I've 50x'd my monthly investment. Now I tell everyone about SPF because it's truly changed the course of my life.

“I finally have the freedom to work where and when I want, and take family trips any time I want.”

I started my gym with absolutely no knowledge of business. Maintaining predictable revenue was near impossible — I had no membership, teams were unpredictable from season to season, and I had no control over where my business was going. At the time that I joined SPF, the monthly dues were a major investment. Now, my monthly income is much more predictable — I've gone from not paying myself, to paying myself and a staff of 5 coaches. We've doubled our space, and opened a satellite location that is highly profitable. I finally have the freedom to work where and when I want, travel with my kids to their sports, and take family trips essentially any time I want.

“I have less stress, more clarity, and a better relationship with my wife and children due to the changes I've made at work.”

Before joining the SPF our businesses were struggling with inconsistent vision and poor mindset: we suffered from poor time management, and I lacked direction as to what I was supposed to be doing as the owner of the facility. I have, in general, had a good experience using business coaches in the past but still had reservations about spending the money. Since joining, I've seen the benefits come back to me 10-fold; we now have a 5 year plan that's creating a vision for the company's future that the whole staff can get behind, and I have less stress, more clarity, and a better relationship with my wife and children due to the changes I've made at work. I've truly learned a ton — being someone who's been in the business for 25 years, that's saying something!

“My revenue has increased, I have more time with family and friends, and I have less stress and more clarity.”

My business was in limbo before joining SPF. We needed help in multiple areas, but most of all, I needed clarity. I was initially skeptical about SPF based on previous Mastermind experiences. Since joining, my business's revenue has increased, I have more time to spend with family and friends, and I have less stress and more clarity.

“SPF has enabled me to build a team that has given me more freedom.”

Before SPF, I did not have much direction in my business. Now that I've been in the Mastermind for some time, I can't imagine being in the fitness business without mentors and people to fall back on for advice and direction. Don't do this alone; I only wish I was in this group when I first started. SPF Mastermind has enabled me to build a team that has given me more freedom, and grow both my revenue and profit. The knowledge that I have learned from Vince, the SPF crew, and the other SPF members has immensely changed my business and my life.

“I was stuck between coaching every day and leading my business.”

Before the SPF Mastermind, I was stuck somewhere between the early stages of coaching every day and the endgame of leading my business without having to grind day-in and day-out, and I had no idea what to do with my leads once they showed interest in my gym. Though I was hesitant about joining SPF because of the money and time investment, I would say to anyone considering joining: don't think twice. I've been in the group for 3 months, and I now have direction in my business and a perfect outline for gradual, steady growth.

“Before SPF I was burnt out and running out of money. After SPF, I've become the man and business owner I want to be.”

I was burnt out, running out of money, and losing interest in training. I had major anxiety and was overwhelmed. The initial investment was shocking before I understood the value of SPF — since joining, my revenue has increased, and I've gotten clarity on where I'm going and how business and marketing work. A year later, I have zero regrets and would do it all again. I am in a much better place mentally and physically… SPF has helped me become the man and business owner I want to be.

“I doubled my revenue.”

I was very scattered, kind of flying by the seat of my pants and throwing stuff together without being intentional and strategic while trying to ring the register. I struggled with time management, clarity, and direction around my marketing plan — everything lived in my head. I was uncertain that my investment would be worth it, but I'm glad I spent it on something like SPF Mastermind — an asset that has more than made my money back, and has given me a supportive community led by someone as genuine as Vince. My business grew 38% and I broke $200K in revenue, then I doubled my revenue the following year.

“I was worried about the cost of joining, but since I've joined I've seen increased profit and better time management.”

My business was unorganized, leaned purely on Facebook ads for leads, and lacked systems to nurture staff growth. I lacked clarity in my company, and was working myself into the grave. I was worried about the cost of joining, and I didn't know Vince prior to joining SPF, but since I've joined the Mastermind my business has started moving toward legitimacy, and I've seen increased profit, been better at time management, and have had increased knowledge. Give it a shot. If you do the things SPF recommends, rest assured your business will run more effectively, and you will make more money.

“Before SPF I was overwhelmed and had money troubles, but since joining I have clarity, a great marketing system, and clear actionable steps to grow.”

I was overwhelmed, with no clarity, and on the fence about continuing to run my business. I had money troubles, had no system in place to handle incoming leads, and total lack of direction. At first, I was hesitant about joining SPF because I didn't know if I could afford the monthly membership, but since joining, I've consistently had clear, actionable plans to work with, and have built a great marketing system that makes sure no leads slip through the cracks. The SPF group gives you clarity, guidance, and clear actionable steps to grow as a business owner and as a person.

“I had plateaued and was down from the past year.”

Before working with Vince Gabriele, I had plateaued and was down from the previous year. I hated it, I blamed it on my market, I thought that I wasn't going to break through. I tried all kinds of different marketing tactics and was going B2B trying to create customers, never really seeing more than 2 feet in front of me. I didn't have direction. After I started working with Vince, we came up with direction, a vision, accountability, ways to track numbers, and ways to hit those goals. We created the accountability I so desperately needed so I could have the freedom to love my business again. In 6 months we increased revenue significantly and are up 50% in membership.

“From $8k/month and not paying myself a dime — to $50K/month with $30K in profit.”

I signed up for the SPF Mastermind when I was only 3 months into owning my gym. At the time I was making $8k/month, and despite doing everything on my own, I didn't pay myself a dime. And I also couldn't take a single day off. Over the last year I've used the lessons from SPF and the other gym owners I've met as part of the group, and I'm now in a much better spot: This month we hit $50k in revenue for the first time, and just over $30k of that is profit. We have three coaches on staff, and over 100 active members in the studio. Most importantly, I get the free time I need to invest in myself and recharge so I can show up as the best version of myself every day. I wouldn't be in this spot today without the mentorship of Vince and the SPF team.

“I went from feeling unsettled with zero revenue — to $40K+/month with a waitlist.”

As the owner of HIGH10 Personal Training, a small group training studio in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, I was initially hesitant to join SPF. As a new business owner, the idea of adding extra expenses so early in the process felt unsettling. However, what was even more unsettling was the thought of moving forward without the guidance and confidence I needed to truly succeed. Joining SPF was, without a doubt, the best decision I've made for my business. Thanks to a strategic presale plan, we brought in 70 active members on day one — making the business profitable from the very first month with revenue of $25K. In the next 6 months we went on to reach full capacity with 120 members and have had a waitlist since. We're now consistently hitting $40K+ in monthly revenue with a profit margin well above 30%.

“From paying myself with debt — to $24,352/month and $10,343 in real profit.”

Vince! Wanted to share this win — it's the first time I'm seeing profit beyond owner's draw in a month since who knows when, because I've never tracked properly. Thank you again for what you do and the group you've built.

“From no gym, no money, and about to quit — to 100 members and a $350K year.”

Hey Vince! Just finished our meeting today, and I have to say I'm speechless. A year and a half ago I felt frustrated and lost. I had no gym, no money, and was about to quit. Until you sent me a text: 'Welcome home.' It was then that I'd open my doors with no team, no cash — but hope, knowing I wasn't alone. Fast forward a year and a half later. We hit 100 members, I have a team of 3, and we are arm's length away from our first $30k month and on track for a $350k year. Instead of being a gym owner stuck in the day-to-day, working 12-plus hours, sleeping on the plyo box, and downing pre-workouts to get through my day, I can spend more time with my family than ever before and get excited about the future.

“I went from $21,450 to $56,711/month — but the deeper win is who you become.”

I was the classic 1:1 grinder — 6-7 sessions a day at a 1099 studio. I was running on fumes, but I was proud of the 'hard work' I was doing. That work bought me a home with my fiancée, but it didn't buy me the time or energy to be who I wanted to be at home. Vince met me there — he was honest, clear, and he always made me feel like I had the ultimate choice. He helped me build a real business with systems, offers that truly help, and a leadership style that scales. Before I started with Vince, I was averaging $21,450 per month. This past quarter, I hit 2 months over $50k in revenue for the first time: $56,003 and $56,711. But what I didn't expect was the legacy I was building. Vince pushed me to define what I stand for, not just what I sell. With his guidance, I created our Nam Family Values. When my oldest daughter Ella stands beside me and recites them, that's a return no spreadsheet can measure. The deeper win is who you become: a calmer husband, a more present dad, a leader your team can trust.

“The gym is packed and we're home sipping coffee, enjoying the sunrise.”

Hey Vince, it's 7 AM Saturday morning and we aren't stuck at the gym. We are sipping on coffee, enjoying the sunrise. Right now, the gym is packed with happy members — and a couple coaches getting well paid to do what they love. Having a weekend to ourselves like this was something we couldn't imagine 2 years ago. And even more so, we're still making an impact (and good money) doing it. Life is good. Thank you and SPF!

“From $20k/month tethered to the coaching floor — to $50k+/month at home with the family.”

When I started working with Vince in the SPF Mastermind, we were strictly a youth training facility doing an average of about $20k a month. That means $40k in the summer, $10k during the school year. Business was booming some times, light others. With Vince's help, we started our adult membership which grew and helped to stabilize the business to the point where I don't have to be on the coaching schedule anymore. Now we have kept the youth side and added over 150 adult members paying monthly memberships, so revenue is consistent and predictable. We've grown from $20k/month to over $50k/month, from a team of 2 to a team of 6. I have this group to thank for the freedom and flexibility I'm enjoying right now — getting home in the evenings and to my kids' sporting events.

“I went from $23,000 a month doing every session myself — to over $100,000/month doing zero sessions.”

When I first met Vince in 2018, I was making about $23,000 a month, but I was doing it by training almost every single session myself. I thought personal training was nothing more than a one man show, and I couldn't see a future beyond grinding out 70 sessions a week. I was exhausted, frustrated, and ready to quit. Vince completely changed that. He showed me how to turn what I thought was 'just training' into a real business that didn't depend on me running myself into the ground. In my first year working with Vince, we scaled beyond $40,000 a month. Fast forward to today, we do well over $100,000 a month while I train zero sessions. I've gone from one location to three, with the lease signed on my fourth as I write this. I was honored to be recognized as his first Gym Owner of the Year. More importantly, I've gone from being stuck in the weeds to running a business I'm proud of.

“Not only did I sell my gym at the age of 34 — I sold it for $2.45 million.”

I started working with SPF two years ago and it was one of the best business decisions I've made. I've always dreamed about growing and selling my gym before the age of 40 and working with SPF helped me build the gym, team, and systems to do just that. Not only did I sell my gym at the age of 34 but I was able to sell it for 2.45 million dollars. If you're a gym owner looking to grow your business (and possibly sell one day) I can't recommend working with SPF enough.

“I was struggling to make $4k/month — now we're making $60,000/month and have more freedom than ever.”

When I first started following Vince I was struggling, making about $4K a month. I had just started my gym and had no idea how to market and get people in the door. I started implementing principles that I have learned over the last couple years and now we're doing $60k a month. Now, I have more freedom than ever.

“From $8,333/month and burnt out — to $60,000/month and traveling the world.”

Hey Vince, I just wanted to tell you something! 15 months after opening our dream gym, we were on a fast track to a burnout I couldn't recover from. SPF gave us the tools and helped us set the boundaries we needed to save our gym, our marriage, and transform our life. Because of you and SPF, me and my husband Bobby went from $100k to $720k in revenue in 4 years. $30k to $270k in profit. From one crummy gym to 2 thriving ones. From no days off (not even Sundays) to 8 weeks off a year traveling the world. And from zero coaches to an amazing team of 4 coaches who love what they do! If you told us back in 2020 that we could earn this much, vacation this often, be able to go back to Spain to visit my family, and have this kind of freedom, we never would've believed it. Vince, you and SPF have changed our life.

“From $0 to $434,012 in 12 months — with $194,600 in owner benefit.”

Vince, happy Sunday. I am excited to share with you that we have successfully completed 1 full year in business with the conclusion of May. Not in my wildest dreams would I think that in the first year in business we would surpass $400k in top line. Our final total — although 4 or 5 transactions have to be buttoned up and reconciled — we are looking at finishing the first 12 months at $434,012, and we were able to stay true to a 47% owner benefit, which was my goal: $194,600! This is not possible without the SPF team helping me in the process. I am confident that we would have had some success but not to this degree, and more importantly, with this amount of speed.

“We went from a $400,000 business to $800,000.”

I started with SPF because at that time my company was stagnant and we weren't growing as much as I would like. I also was wanting some type of community. SPF and the CEO program have provided both. Being around like-minded individuals who are going through the same journey is priceless. Having others look at your business with a different lens helps you see things you were missing. It's a great investment in yourself and your business. We went from a $400,000 business to $800,000. Thanks Vince and to all of the SPF staff and members. I'm grateful!

“I was nearly $1 million in debt — today we're debt free with $277,000 in our bank account.”

Two years ago I had $500 in my bank account, was in nearly $1 million in debt, and we were on food stamps. I could barely feed my family of four. Today we have over $100,000 in our personal account, $277,000 in our business account in cash, and will be debt free by the end of the year. Thank you for your mentorship, Vince. I couldn't have done it without you.

“From $20k/month on the verge of burnout — to $60k/month with the freedom to enjoy my wife and 4 kids.”

Before I started with Vince and the SPF Team I was a one man show, doing everything, and on the verge of burnout. I didn't know what I needed to do to progress the business that I loved when I started, but was quickly running head first into 'hate' territory. Vince helped me establish a clear path — a plan — which I didn't have previously. With my time in SPF I've gone from grossing just over $20k per month to $60k per month, coaching 50-60 hours per week to less than 20 hours per week, and now I have a team that I can confidently rely on while I'm working outside the business, and more importantly, when I'm spending time with my wife and 4 kids. Greater freedom of time, along with the amazing mindset work that Vince places so much emphasis on, has allowed me to finally enjoy the work, enjoy my business, and enjoy my growing family.

“From $15k/month and 30 members — to $60k/month and 200 members in the same space.”

I had already been training for 20 years, so I had a lot of experience as a trainer, but I was 'winging it' as a business owner. One of the many things that attracted me to the mastermind is the fact that Vince actually owns a gym and has experience in building a successful business. Before I joined the mastermind I was averaging $15,000 in revenue each month with around 30 total members in 2,200 square feet of space. Each year since then we have had consistent growth, up to where we are currently averaging $60,000 per month in revenue with 200 members in the same space, and still growing. There is no way I could have done this without the support from Vince, the SPF team, and the other gym owners in the mastermind group.

“From stuck at $18k/month — to $60k with a team of 8 and the freedom to step away and enjoy life.”

When we joined the Mastermind in November of 2018, Active Life Fitness had been open for two years and we were struggling trying to break $18K/month. Plus, we were still doing most of the training, which left little time for marketing and little time to have a life. With guidance from Vince, his team, and other members of this amazing group, revenue grew by 33% in 2019 and reached a high month of $29K. The additional revenue plus your lessons on leadership gave us the resources and confidence to hire and develop a great team. That was a game changer, freeing us up to focus on acquiring and retaining clients, and even more important, to start getting our lives back. We carried that momentum into early 2020 hitting $32K in March. Then the pandemic set us back considerably. We honestly don't think ALF would have survived those dark days without the leadership, strategies, and tactics Vince provided. Fast forward to today: we now have a team of 8 generating $60K/month — and still growing. Best of all, we now have the freedom to step away, recharge, and enjoy life.

“From $15k/month and close to quitting — to $550K/year and opening a second location.”

When I first joined your group, I was in my second year of business and honestly was close to quitting. We had opened our first physical space and I was doing everything myself — literally opening at 5am and sometimes pulling all-nighters. And even with that, I was barely getting by. Around $15K/month. And it felt like I was building something I didn't even want anymore. What changed everything was being in this room. I had been in other mastermind groups before, but this one felt different. The first thing that hit me was the abundance — people in SPF don't size you up or gatekeep. And the way you teach, man — it made the 'business stuff' finally click. Marketing, systems, operations — that felt like another language before. Four years later, we're now $550K/year and opening our second location. But more than that, I like who I've become through this.

“From struggling at $19k — to $40k+ recurring revenue and trending to $50K months.”

I came to Vince and the SPF in early 2020 with a business that had been stuck at $240K for 3 consecutive years. I wasn't earning a living wage, my business wasn't profitable, and the stress was bleeding into my family life. One month after working with Vince, the pandemic hit. Married with 5 boys and 2 getting ready for college, I was in a complete panic. On several occasions, Vince told me the biggest stranglehold on the business was the mindset of the owner. While upgrading my mindset, he helped me completely reimagine my business model, transitioning from large group training to a small group model. Thanks to his guidance, my annual revenue will have doubled by the end of 2025. I went from struggling to stay above $19K per month to recurring revenues averaging more than $40K. Currently I'm trending to hit a $50k month by the end of the year. I'm earning more money and loving my business again — and my family has a better husband and father.

“My accountant is finally happy — profits up 200%.”

Good morning Vince, wanted to share a win with you! Got this email from my accountant on Friday — and I wouldn't be able to do it without you, your leadership, and support. The email read: 'Congratulations on a great year! Your gross receipts were up 60% since 2022. Your profits were up more than 200%. We wish you continued success.'

“From barely clearing $100K and trapped doing everything myself — to $250K with family time, vacation time, and helping more people than ever.”

When I first started Empowered Training, I was working day and night, 6-7 days a week. Doing everything myself, from coaching clients to cleaning equipment, barely clearing $100K a year. Joining SPF completely shifted how I viewed business ownership. Instead of just being a trainer with a gym, I became a business owner with a vision. Since then, I've grown from under $100K to well over $250K a year, built a strong team, added multiple training programs, and created systems that allow me to actually run the business instead of being trapped in it. Best part? I get to spend more time with my family, take vacation time, while still growing the gym and helping more people than ever. The community and mentorship from Vince and the SPF team truly changed the trajectory of my business and my life.

“Before SPF, I was a singular gym owner, burnt out. After SPF, I've got a great team and two locations that are both thriving.”

As the only person in my business, my biggest pain point was not knowing how to make moves to get more business, and how to build a team — I felt alone and overwhelmed. SPF gives you the confidence to overcome any of these roadblocks that you have in your head through constant education; with like-minded individuals, you're sharing ideas, and creating new things all the time just by interacting with all the other members. Before SPF, I was a singular gym owner, burnt out. Since SPF, I've got a great team and I've got two locations that are both thriving.

“I've joined other masterminds, but the SPF Mastermind is the best investment I've ever made in myself and my business.”

I've been to other fitness business mentorships and I've joined other masterminds, but Vince's SPF Mastermind is hands down the best investment I've ever made in myself and in my business. I left the first weekend with more clarity and direction than ever before. The weekly calls are great because they keep me focused and on task. Vince has built an amazingly successful fitness business of his own which enables him to bring real-world advice in real time. I'd recommend this mastermind to any gym owner looking to optimize their business!

“Before SPF, I was making $9k a month working 7 days a week. After SPF, I'm making over $40k a month and pick my son up from school every day.”

“Before SPF, we ran our business by the seat of our pants. Since joining, our revenue has grown significantly.”

Our systems were not well-established… we didn't have a marketing system in place to produce predictable lead generation. Before SPF, we ran our business a bit better than by the seat of our pants. Since joining SPF, revenue has grown significantly, and we've been able to take a distinct leadership role of a remarkable team that allows us to focus our time on growing the business and not being IN the gym as full-time coaches.

“I've 50x'd my monthly investment.”

Before joining SPF, my gym was making $8k/month with zero staff members and I had absolutely no marketing in place. The cost was a big stretch for me. Since joining, my business feels like an input-output machine that I have complete control over. I've 50x'd my monthly investment. Now I tell everyone about SPF because it's truly changed the course of my life.

“I finally have the freedom to work where and when I want, and take family trips any time I want.”

I started my gym with absolutely no knowledge of business. Maintaining predictable revenue was near impossible — I had no membership, teams were unpredictable from season to season, and I had no control over where my business was going. At the time that I joined SPF, the monthly dues were a major investment. Now, my monthly income is much more predictable — I've gone from not paying myself, to paying myself and a staff of 5 coaches. We've doubled our space, and opened a satellite location that is highly profitable. I finally have the freedom to work where and when I want, travel with my kids to their sports, and take family trips essentially any time I want.

“I have less stress, more clarity, and a better relationship with my wife and children due to the changes I've made at work.”

Before joining the SPF our businesses were struggling with inconsistent vision and poor mindset: we suffered from poor time management, and I lacked direction as to what I was supposed to be doing as the owner of the facility. I have, in general, had a good experience using business coaches in the past but still had reservations about spending the money. Since joining, I've seen the benefits come back to me 10-fold; we now have a 5 year plan that's creating a vision for the company's future that the whole staff can get behind, and I have less stress, more clarity, and a better relationship with my wife and children due to the changes I've made at work. I've truly learned a ton — being someone who's been in the business for 25 years, that's saying something!

“My revenue has increased, I have more time with family and friends, and I have less stress and more clarity.”

My business was in limbo before joining SPF. We needed help in multiple areas, but most of all, I needed clarity. I was initially skeptical about SPF based on previous Mastermind experiences. Since joining, my business's revenue has increased, I have more time to spend with family and friends, and I have less stress and more clarity.

“SPF has enabled me to build a team that has given me more freedom.”

Before SPF, I did not have much direction in my business. Now that I've been in the Mastermind for some time, I can't imagine being in the fitness business without mentors and people to fall back on for advice and direction. Don't do this alone; I only wish I was in this group when I first started. SPF Mastermind has enabled me to build a team that has given me more freedom, and grow both my revenue and profit. The knowledge that I have learned from Vince, the SPF crew, and the other SPF members has immensely changed my business and my life.

“I was stuck between coaching every day and leading my business.”

Before the SPF Mastermind, I was stuck somewhere between the early stages of coaching every day and the endgame of leading my business without having to grind day-in and day-out, and I had no idea what to do with my leads once they showed interest in my gym. Though I was hesitant about joining SPF because of the money and time investment, I would say to anyone considering joining: don't think twice. I've been in the group for 3 months, and I now have direction in my business and a perfect outline for gradual, steady growth.

“Before SPF I was burnt out and running out of money. After SPF, I've become the man and business owner I want to be.”

I was burnt out, running out of money, and losing interest in training. I had major anxiety and was overwhelmed. The initial investment was shocking before I understood the value of SPF — since joining, my revenue has increased, and I've gotten clarity on where I'm going and how business and marketing work. A year later, I have zero regrets and would do it all again. I am in a much better place mentally and physically… SPF has helped me become the man and business owner I want to be.

“I doubled my revenue.”

I was very scattered, kind of flying by the seat of my pants and throwing stuff together without being intentional and strategic while trying to ring the register. I struggled with time management, clarity, and direction around my marketing plan — everything lived in my head. I was uncertain that my investment would be worth it, but I'm glad I spent it on something like SPF Mastermind — an asset that has more than made my money back, and has given me a supportive community led by someone as genuine as Vince. My business grew 38% and I broke $200K in revenue, then I doubled my revenue the following year.

“I was worried about the cost of joining, but since I've joined I've seen increased profit and better time management.”

My business was unorganized, leaned purely on Facebook ads for leads, and lacked systems to nurture staff growth. I lacked clarity in my company, and was working myself into the grave. I was worried about the cost of joining, and I didn't know Vince prior to joining SPF, but since I've joined the Mastermind my business has started moving toward legitimacy, and I've seen increased profit, been better at time management, and have had increased knowledge. Give it a shot. If you do the things SPF recommends, rest assured your business will run more effectively, and you will make more money.

“Before SPF I was overwhelmed and had money troubles, but since joining I have clarity, a great marketing system, and clear actionable steps to grow.”

I was overwhelmed, with no clarity, and on the fence about continuing to run my business. I had money troubles, had no system in place to handle incoming leads, and total lack of direction. At first, I was hesitant about joining SPF because I didn't know if I could afford the monthly membership, but since joining, I've consistently had clear, actionable plans to work with, and have built a great marketing system that makes sure no leads slip through the cracks. The SPF group gives you clarity, guidance, and clear actionable steps to grow as a business owner and as a person.

“I had plateaued and was down from the past year.”

Before working with Vince Gabriele, I had plateaued and was down from the previous year. I hated it, I blamed it on my market, I thought that I wasn't going to break through. I tried all kinds of different marketing tactics and was going B2B trying to create customers, never really seeing more than 2 feet in front of me. I didn't have direction. After I started working with Vince, we came up with direction, a vision, accountability, ways to track numbers, and ways to hit those goals. We created the accountability I so desperately needed so I could have the freedom to love my business again. In 6 months we increased revenue significantly and are up 50% in membership.

“From $8k/month and not paying myself a dime — to $50K/month with $30K in profit.”

I signed up for the SPF Mastermind when I was only 3 months into owning my gym. At the time I was making $8k/month, and despite doing everything on my own, I didn't pay myself a dime. And I also couldn't take a single day off. Over the last year I've used the lessons from SPF and the other gym owners I've met as part of the group, and I'm now in a much better spot: This month we hit $50k in revenue for the first time, and just over $30k of that is profit. We have three coaches on staff, and over 100 active members in the studio. Most importantly, I get the free time I need to invest in myself and recharge so I can show up as the best version of myself every day. I wouldn't be in this spot today without the mentorship of Vince and the SPF team.

“I went from feeling unsettled with zero revenue — to $40K+/month with a waitlist.”

As the owner of HIGH10 Personal Training, a small group training studio in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, I was initially hesitant to join SPF. As a new business owner, the idea of adding extra expenses so early in the process felt unsettling. However, what was even more unsettling was the thought of moving forward without the guidance and confidence I needed to truly succeed. Joining SPF was, without a doubt, the best decision I've made for my business. Thanks to a strategic presale plan, we brought in 70 active members on day one — making the business profitable from the very first month with revenue of $25K. In the next 6 months we went on to reach full capacity with 120 members and have had a waitlist since. We're now consistently hitting $40K+ in monthly revenue with a profit margin well above 30%.

“From paying myself with debt — to $24,352/month and $10,343 in real profit.”

Vince! Wanted to share this win — it's the first time I'm seeing profit beyond owner's draw in a month since who knows when, because I've never tracked properly. Thank you again for what you do and the group you've built.

“From no gym, no money, and about to quit — to 100 members and a $350K year.”

Hey Vince! Just finished our meeting today, and I have to say I'm speechless. A year and a half ago I felt frustrated and lost. I had no gym, no money, and was about to quit. Until you sent me a text: 'Welcome home.' It was then that I'd open my doors with no team, no cash — but hope, knowing I wasn't alone. Fast forward a year and a half later. We hit 100 members, I have a team of 3, and we are arm's length away from our first $30k month and on track for a $350k year. Instead of being a gym owner stuck in the day-to-day, working 12-plus hours, sleeping on the plyo box, and downing pre-workouts to get through my day, I can spend more time with my family than ever before and get excited about the future.

“I went from $21,450 to $56,711/month — but the deeper win is who you become.”

I was the classic 1:1 grinder — 6-7 sessions a day at a 1099 studio. I was running on fumes, but I was proud of the 'hard work' I was doing. That work bought me a home with my fiancée, but it didn't buy me the time or energy to be who I wanted to be at home. Vince met me there — he was honest, clear, and he always made me feel like I had the ultimate choice. He helped me build a real business with systems, offers that truly help, and a leadership style that scales. Before I started with Vince, I was averaging $21,450 per month. This past quarter, I hit 2 months over $50k in revenue for the first time: $56,003 and $56,711. But what I didn't expect was the legacy I was building. Vince pushed me to define what I stand for, not just what I sell. With his guidance, I created our Nam Family Values. When my oldest daughter Ella stands beside me and recites them, that's a return no spreadsheet can measure. The deeper win is who you become: a calmer husband, a more present dad, a leader your team can trust.

“The gym is packed and we're home sipping coffee, enjoying the sunrise.”

Hey Vince, it's 7 AM Saturday morning and we aren't stuck at the gym. We are sipping on coffee, enjoying the sunrise. Right now, the gym is packed with happy members — and a couple coaches getting well paid to do what they love. Having a weekend to ourselves like this was something we couldn't imagine 2 years ago. And even more so, we're still making an impact (and good money) doing it. Life is good. Thank you and SPF!

“From $20k/month tethered to the coaching floor — to $50k+/month at home with the family.”

When I started working with Vince in the SPF Mastermind, we were strictly a youth training facility doing an average of about $20k a month. That means $40k in the summer, $10k during the school year. Business was booming some times, light others. With Vince's help, we started our adult membership which grew and helped to stabilize the business to the point where I don't have to be on the coaching schedule anymore. Now we have kept the youth side and added over 150 adult members paying monthly memberships, so revenue is consistent and predictable. We've grown from $20k/month to over $50k/month, from a team of 2 to a team of 6. I have this group to thank for the freedom and flexibility I'm enjoying right now — getting home in the evenings and to my kids' sporting events.
