Frequently Asked Questions

GSD stands for "Get Sh!t Done."

What is the Behind Gym Doors podcast?

The Behind Gym Doors podcast is hosted by Mike Arce and features real gym and studio owners sharing what's actually working in their businesses. Many of the guests are GSD Gyms members. It's a free resource available to anyone looking to grow their fitness business.

What kind of results do GSD Gyms clients typically see?

91% of clients see a positive return on investment and continue past the initial commitment. Nearly 30% of clients are doing over $1 million per year. 88% of those million-dollar gyms are doing over $100K per month. And nearly every single one was under $100K/month when they first joined. Most clients generate an extra $5,000–$10,000 in the first 60 days.

How many gyms has GSD Gyms worked with?

Do you work with big box gyms?

No, GSD Gyms works exclusively with boutique fitness studios and gyms, not big box gym models.

What's the minimum revenue to qualify?

The minimum revenue threshold is $15,000 per month. If you're doing $15,000+ in monthly revenue, you're a strong fit.

I'm doing less than $15,000/month. Can I still join?

You're not yet at the minimum threshold for the program, but that doesn't mean the door is closed forever. Keep building, check out the Behind Gym Doors podcast as a free resource to learn from, and come back when you hit that mark. You're on the right path.

I'm already doing $80K–$100K+/month. Is this still for me?

Absolutely. Nearly 30% of GSD clients are doing over $1 million per year. Many successful owners join because they want to be around other winners, learn what's working for people ahead of them, and optimize faster. The A-Class level is specifically designed for gyms doing over $83,000/month.

Do I have to be in the U.S.?

No, we work with owners outside of the U.S so long as you are in an English-speaking country. All call & meeting times do take place in Arizona Local time.

What is GSDCON?

GSDCON is the #1 fitness business conference in the country. We host 3 in-person GSDCON events per year; GSDCON People, GSDCON Sales and Marketing, and GSDCON Money and Finance. Active members receive 2 complimentary tickets per event (a $2,000/ticket value), Active GSD Gyms Members also receive a members-only discount for additional team member tickets.

Can I do month-to-month instead of a yearly commitment?

No, and here's why: the people who see the biggest results are those who commit fully. The members who've gone from $20K to $75K/month or $40K to $100K/month didn't ask about flexibility. They said "This clearly works. I want to be part of this." That said, the 60-day Love It or Leave It exists. If it's not working, you have the option to exit the program after two months with no additional obligation.
