The Purpose Project
The Purpose Project is a podcast where we dive into life’s big questions in a laid-back, down-to-earth way. Why do we do what we do? How do we make things happen? And what’s next? Join me, Ricky Gibbins, as I share my own stories and chat with awesome guests about their journeys—past, present, and future. It’s all about figuring out what drives us and what’s possible. Tune in for real conversations and a whole lot of inspiration!

Episode 4 - The RF Coaching Story
In this episode of The Purpose Project, I sit down with Ben, the manager of RF Coaching and a former client, to share the incredible journey of how RikFit evolved into what is now RF Coaching.
Starting 12 years ago in my parents' garage with minimal equipment, I built a personal training business from the ground up, achieving fantastic results and gaining a reputation in the fitness community. As demand grew — with nearly 80 people on a waitlist — I faced the difficult decision of expanding or turning people away. With the support of my family, I expanded at home and navigated the challenges of managing staff and clients.
Ben’s story is just as inspiring. From an online client determined to transform his health to stepping into a coaching role, he’s played a pivotal part in RF Coaching’s growth. Today, we have a passionate team of 4 coaches, all of whom started as clients, and our vision continues to grow.
We talk about the obstacles we overcame, from relocating facilities to facing personal challenges like my Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis. But through it all, the support of our community made all the difference. Now, with a clear vision and mission, RF Coaching is dedicated to empowering others to "Break the Cycle" and take control of their health.
Whether you’re a business owner, a fitness enthusiast, or someone seeking inspiration, this episode is packed with insights on resilience, growth, and purpose.
