Dave Bender's Contemporary Athlete was barely breaking even at $14,000 to $15,000 per month when he joined ProFit's Business Accelerator. He doubled his monthly gross to $32,000 in just eight weeks. Today he consistently earns $45,000 to $46,000 per month, has grown membership from 48 to 154, and has built a turnkey operation.
Dave Bender was not in a comfortable position when he joined ProFit's Business Accelerator. Contemporary Athlete in Clifton Park, New York was barely breaking even at $14,000 to $15,000 per month. He had 48 members and a business that demanded everything from him while giving back very little.
What Dave had that many gym owners lack was a willingness to be vulnerable. He was willing to admit what was not working, to ask for help, and to implement what he learned without letting ego get in the way. That willingness is what made the difference.
The results came faster than he expected. Within eight weeks of joining the program and implementing the new systems, Contemporary Athlete doubled its monthly gross revenue to $32,000. Dave grew membership from 48 to 154. He built the operational infrastructure to support that growth sustainably.
Today, Contemporary Athlete consistently generates $45,000 to $46,000 per month. Dave has built a turnkey operation -- a business that runs without requiring him to be on the floor for every session. He has the freedom to work on the business rather than in it.
His message to other gym owners who are struggling: the willingness to be vulnerable and do the work is the only prerequisite. The systems, the coaching, and the community are already there. You just have to be willing to use them.
"If you actually really want to make a change in your business and you're willing to be vulnerable, then there isn't a better place to go."
-- Dave Bender, Contemporary Athlete
