About this listen

Most gym owners don't struggle because of marketing. They struggle because they can't let go of control.

In this episode of Behind Gym Doors, Mike sits down with Caitlin Bovee to break down the leadership shift that changed everything inside her business. Instead of trying to control every decision, meeting, and outcome, she focused on developing leaders, building systems, and stepping out of daily operations, allowing the business to grow in a completely different way.

We dive into the real challenges gym owners face when transitioning from operator to leader, including why control often becomes the hidden bottleneck preventing growth, how leadership development impacts retention and team performance, and what it actually takes to scale without doing everything yourself. If you feel stuck managing every detail or struggling to move from operator to CEO, this episode will help you rethink how growth actually happens.
