Gerry Washack was grinding 30 to 50 hours a week and barely breaking even when he found ProFit's Iron Circle. Six years later, his flagship Fit In 42 grosses $1.2 million annually, his second location is approaching $1 million, and he owns five gyms and a salon.
Gerry Washack was working 30 to 50 hours a week and barely breaking even. He had built Fit In 42 in California with everything he had -- his time, his energy, his savings -- and the business was consuming all of it without giving much back. He was trapped in the grind that catches most gym owners who try to build a business without a proven framework.
When Gerry joined ProFit's Iron Circle, everything changed. For the first time, he was in a room with gym owners who were not just surviving -- they were building real businesses. They were generating $500,000, $1 million, and more per year. They were investing their profits. They were living lives that looked nothing like the grind Gerry had accepted as normal.
The Iron Circle gave Gerry the ideas, the accountability, and the high-level peer conversations that he had been missing. He implemented the systems that allowed his gyms to scale beyond his personal capacity. He built teams that could run day-to-day operations without him. He invested the profits from his gyms into new locations and new businesses.
Six years later, the results are remarkable. His flagship Fit In 42 grosses $1.2 million annually. His second location is approaching $1 million. He owns five gyms and a salon. He manages his businesses remotely and attributes his continued growth to the ideas and conversations that happen inside the Iron Circle.
Gerry's story is the most powerful proof of what is possible in the fitness industry when you stop going it alone. Financial freedom in gym ownership is not a fantasy. It is a system. And the Iron Circle is where you learn it.
"Everything I learn in the Iron Circle, it helps all my businesses. We have continued to grow because of the ideas and the high level conversations with people from the Iron Circle. Being around people that are continuously pushing to do more, it actually makes me want to do more. It makes me know what is possible."
