In this episode of the Fitness Education Online Podcast, Bex sits down with Wayne Li, founder of Training Day Gym, to explore what it really takes to build a long-term gym business.


Wayne shares his journey from opening his first facility at 22 with $30,000 in savings to now leading a 30+ person team across multiple locations in Melbourne — all bootstrapped and built through grit, continuous learning, and a strong focus on culture. They discuss the realities of gym ownership, from sales and marketing pressure to leadership challenges, becoming the bottleneck in your own business, and building systems that allow a team to grow.


This episode is packed with practical advice for personal trainers and fitness professionals who want to build something sustainable in the industry, along with an honest look at the mindset required to navigate each new level of growth.
