About this episode
🌎 In this episode, we sit down with the team behind One Academy to unpack how they scaled to multiple locations without losing the culture that made their gym work in the first place. Jesse and Eric share the decisions that shaped their growth, from building a training model that attracts the right members to waiting until systems, staff, and demand were truly ready before expanding.
