Alright, let’s cut to the chase.
Today, I’m giving you the exact system that’s completely transformed my business and life: Separation Sunday.
If you’re like most business owners, you’re probably running from one task to the next all week but still aren’t seeing the results you want. Why? Because you’re focusing on the wrong stuff.
In this episode, I’m breaking down my personal, no-BS productivity routine that takes me less than 20 minutes every Sunday. This is the same system that has turned our clients into million-dollar studios.
You’ll learn:
A tactic to clear your mental space so you can focus on moving your business forward (not in the weeds of the business!)
The productivity hack that will keep you on track and free up your time for what really matters
How to finish every Friday with a “F*ck yeah”
…all in the time that it takes you to drink a coffee.
Grab the Separation Sunday template here, and make sure to post it to your IG story and tag me @hey.doza.

This topic is something that has got me so fired up.
I’ve been doing a lot of travelling recently which means I’ve visited a lot of gyms.
And what I have found… has shocked me.
In almost every gym I’ve been to, I’ve seen dollars literally walking right out the door, so today I am talking about the three ways you are probably losing money every single session.
But the good news?
It’s entirely preventable AND instead of just making sure you’re not making costly mistakes… I’m going to teach you how to get bonus revenue from every session instead.
Here’s how.
You’ll hear:
How to convert a casual visitor into a full-time member in just 3 sessions
The small tweak to make to your roster that will improve your bottom line
Ways to turn every session into a sales event and not just a workout
… and a whole lot more
And if you don’t have the systems dialed in or you don’t know where to begin - book a free 15-minute call here.

When another studio shuts down, you are being given the opportunity to make 3 months of sales… in two weeks.

I’m talking all about how to gain 50+ new members in just a few weeks, the secret formula to creating your own luck in business and how to approach it legally (no spam laws).
Start preparing now.

03:03 - How to get the studio owner on your side as a collaborator so that they can introduce you to their members + the exact email you need to send
06:45 - The correct way to run an ‘Open Week’ that will have displaced flocking to your studio
10:19 - The lead sequence that puts you ahead of 80% of competing studios, making you the top option

“When you take on the responsibility of leadership, you’re not taking on additional responsibilities. You are changing your career.”
Joining me on today’s episode is the incredible Rohan Dredge: the CEO of Pragmatic Thinking, a behaviour and motivation strategy company who has worked with the likes of Qantas, Toyota, Suncorp and Geronimo.
Rohan’s first episode ‘How to be a Leader People Actually Want to Follow’ is one of our MOST listened-to episodes. When we were down in the Gold Coast we knew we HAD to get him back on the poddy to continue to level up our leaders.
When we go into the health and fitness industry, we all have one goal: to help people get fitter, stronger and lead happier lives. But as your business grows, your role shifts from directly helping members to leading and managing teams.
And it’s not a change most of us are prepared for.
Join me as I ask Rohan all of your most commonly asked leadership questions including:
01:26 - What are the qualities of a highly effective leader?
03:23 - What are some of the operating systems that create a highly effective leader?
06:35 - How can you make confident decisions as a leader?
08:45 - How can you become a leader who responds rather than reacts?
18:48 - The right way to give performance reviews and give staff feedback EVEN if it’s hard
26:29 - What do you do when your team has a poor culture?
32:56 - If you don’t like confrontation… How do you enforce changes that will upset your staff?
35:33 - What if you're afraid to push a team member for fear they might leave?
38:16 - How to empower your team without micromanaging them
43:20 - The Controversial Question… Can anyone be a good leader?
… and a whole lot more

Starting a business is tough—50% of them don’t survive, and 75% of business owners earn less than minimum wage.
During a particularly tough time with my business, I asked my accountant this question.
“Do I push harder or do I start driving Uber to supplement my income?”
His response?
“If you have enough time to drive an Uber, you have time to focus on your business.”
Our studio then went on to become the largest and fastest growing studio in Sydney, in addition to winning multiple Division Champion awards we were also voted Sydney’s #3 best place to workout, and #1 Gym by The Urban List.
So in today’s episode, I’m talking about the FIVE most important steps that I would take if I were to open a studio again today.
These are actional tips, even for network studios. I’ll also be diving into a unique concept that we’ve been exploring - one that is the complete OPPOSITE of a traditional gym…

The fitness and wellness industries are seeing a rise in a different type of studio owner - those who are already great but want to be the BEST.

So how do you push through to the NEXT LEVEL and gain LEVERAGE?
There are three things that will get you there: a Team Identity, Team Design, and Accountability Chart.
Listen to this episode to find out:

What do you do when a member cancels their subscription?
Do you a) put through the cancellation and move on with your life OR b) are you willing to give this tactic a go that might just get them to stay?

There is only ONE document that is going to ALIGN your team and BOOST team culture.
It’s the Team Handbook.
I’ve spoken about the Team Handbook before on the pod but Soph and I have never gone into detail about EXACTLY what is in it, and how it helped take our studio from good to #1 in the area.
This handbook is your key to:
Aligning your team: Get everyone on the same page, ensuring consistency across ALL trainer sessions.
Boosting team culture: Build a team that cares about the studio just as much as you do.
Creating accountability: Empower your trainers and hold them to the Handbook standards.
You’ll hear:
What’s on the FIRST PAGE of our handbook (this is the exact inspo you need to get started… no more getting stuck on where to begin)
Prompts to craft YOUR unique mission statement
The page that will make your team start WANTING to take accountability
… and a whole lot more
And what’s even better? If you write up a draft handbook in the next 30 days… I’ll give you feedback for free. Message me at @hey.doza.
If you need some inspiration, grab our Handbook framework here.
