At Wodify, we’re in the unique position of having access to thousands of gym owners around the world. We talk with them every month and get to know their stories, their struggles and their victories. We know what drives them and what they’ve been through to build successful businesses.

“Every business plan is just a plan until you get six months into the weeds and then it gets thrown out the window.” — Daniel Davidson, CrossFit Main Line

This past year, we caught up with a few of our customers in person so they could share their perspectives on what it takes to be a gym owner. What we discovered was that, in all cases, regardless of their individual journeys, the core of their business is always about providing their members with the best hour of their day.

“We really want people to get better and live healthier and just have a damn good day once they get here.” — Lynette Kotraba, UnCharted CrossFit

Their stories may sound familiar to many gym owners out there. Nothing is ever given to you and nothing is never earned without hard work, vision and drive. 

“I wanted to be in charge of my own destiny. I wanted my hard work to directly relate to how successful our business was.” — Jason Khalipa, NCFIT

At Wodify, our purpose is to Empower a Fulfilled Life. We’re inspired every day by gym owners around the world, like the ones in this video, and our goal is to provide the tools so they can change lives. 

Whether you’re thinking about opening your own gym or you’re a long-time owner who doesn’t use Wodify yet, we’d love the chance to learn your story and see how we can help empower YOU to live a fulfilled life. Let’s chat!
