The Hall of Shame: Huge Gym-Owner Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)
In 2015, Corey Lewis expanded to a second gym before he was ready. He ended up with two failing locations instead of one thriving facility.
This mistake nearly sunk his business. Now, as a Two-Brain mentor, Corey helps gym owners avoid feels-good-in-the-moment traps that come with severe long-term consequences.
In this episode, Corey joins Mike Warkentin to break down some of the most costly mistakes gym owners make:
✅ Expanding before systems are in place.
✅ Promoting staff too quickly.
✅ Abdicating instead of delegating.
✅ Discounting rates.
✅ Chasing shiny objects instead of caring for "the golden goose."
Corey explains how mentorship helps gym owners see past emotion to make decisions based on data.
For example, if a gym owner is avoiding a much-needed rate increase, Corey will run the numbers, lay out the plan and provide accountability. He's successfully guided dozens of Two-Brain clients through this process: None lost all their members, and all made more money.
Don't make mistakes that will take years to fix. And don't avoid correcting your errors because you don't have a plan. Get help, make smart decisions and reach your Perfect Day sooner.

Confession, I solved a problem by offering a discount so deep that I was almost paying members to keep training at my gym.
SPEAKER_02:And I decided to expand to a second location long before I was prepared for that.
SPEAKER_00:These were both costly errors. I'm Mike Working, and that's Corey Lewis, and we're going to talk about very common gym owner mistakes that feel good at the time, but turn out to have horrible, horrible downstream consequences. So I've owned a fitness business since 2009. Corey is the 14-year owner of ExtraMile Fitness in Missouri. He's also a tuber mentor. So after we lay out some of our sins, he's going to tell you how he helps clients avoid similar pain. So, Corey, you're you're ready to hit the uh hall of shame here and see what's going on.
SPEAKER_02:Absolutely. I'll lay out all my confessions for mistakes I made.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's gonna be rough, and I'll start with my quick one there. Is like uh we started a bootcamp, and that I was operating inside a global gym and I had some clients, and then when I started to open a facility, I had decided to, you know, I offered to bring them over. And because they were giving me a chance when I had really no credibility and no experience, I wanted to reward them. So I gave them a founding member rate of$84. And I don't know how I came up with that. It was maybe like$7 times 16 visits or 12 visits, or maybe it was half of our unlimited price, which was still too low. Whatever it was, I came up with$84 and it was not based on math or anything like that. I put it in place and I said it would never change. And I'm gonna, you know, interject here that Two Brain literally has a plan called the Founding Members Club that helps gym owners now launch their businesses in the black on day one with like 50 to 70 members. It happens, I've seen it, it's incredible. This didn't exist in 2009, 2010, so I just made it up. And when things got really bad, I realized that like I'd have two or three of these members, and they were great people, you know, they were awesome people, and I don't begrudge them, you know, that discount, but I'd look and there was two or three of them. They were maybe paying$15 total for the class, and I was paying the coach 20 to 25. I was losing money on every single class, and at the worst, I was losing$5,000 a month and I didn't know what to do. And I wanted to be a man of honor, right? So I said, okay, I'm not gonna change their discounts, I'm not gonna change their discounts. The business was bleeding out, and because of that mistake, I was going to have to shut down the business. Eventually, I got with a mentor, we did a rate increase, saved the whole thing. I got my staff costs in line and we went through the analytics and the metrics, fixed it, but that was that mistake, honorable at the time, felt good, huge consequences that almost sunk the business. I needed someone like you to tell me not to do it. What have you got?
SPEAKER_02:So that's a common one we see. Mine was in 2015, my my location was thriving. We were making money. I thought we were crushing it, so I figured if I just open a second location, I'm going to double my money. Yep. Make all the money I ever wanted to make. So I actually acquired a location in 2015. And not only did I make tons of mistakes that I could have avoided with the mentor on taking over a gym and you know making changes, but my focus got pulled so much towards that location and trying to make that work that my golden goose, my original location that you know was thriving, that's what made me expand. Now began having staff issues, losing money and going backwards. And now instead of having one thriving gym, I had two that were going backwards on me.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and that's I heard I've heard that's so common. When again, when I started out, we opened a gym, there were always these like unicorns that you hear of out there who had opened a second location. We all thought, what an amazing thing. You just double your revenue. It just never goes like that, right? And like you ended up exactly what I've heard from other people. You have one good gym, so you try to double up, and you end up both of them are mediocre or failing.
SPEAKER_02:Yep. I saw others, you know, like you said, we see others online doing it. Yeah, and I thought I was really good at what I did, so I could easily duplicate that. But unfortunately, now I kick myself. I look back and realize all my mistakes, but it wore me into the ground and almost sunk my gym that was making me all the money.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, killing the golden goose. Chris Cooper's written about that a number of times, and like it's so tempting to just do that other thing, and then all of a sudden the the plates that are spinning over here all collapse. Yep. You know, I'll and I'll say though, now that we have systems and business best practices and two-brained principles and tactics, there are gym owners who are able to replicate that existing business. Like Oscar Joe had one of the mentors over in Sweden, is now doing this, and there's others like him. It's doable, it's just not doable without a plan. So if you do have a goal to run two businesses in our tinker program, people do that. Or they start a different business, or they start like, you know, a whiskey distillery or a sports beverage company or real estate investing. There are other things that people do, but it's according to a plan. We didn't have that at the time, we just winged it.
SPEAKER_02:No, and that's what that's why I kick myself now looking back. Like, no, I had no SOPs. I had no staff playbook, and I just figured, well, I'm really good at running this gym, I'll be good at running too. And needless to say, uh, it didn't go well. If you could have to be able to do that, now looking back, if I had that staff playbook and SOPs, it could have been a whole different story.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and if you could have cloned yourself in that founder stage, Corey One could have run the first one, Corey two could have run the second one, it would have gone fine, but that's the founder problem. You can't actually do that. The only way to clone yourself is to document all your systems and then replicate those systems in a second spot. But we never did that. You and I just like, uh we'll just wing it and it'll turn out fine.
SPEAKER_02:Corey one coached from 5 a.m. to noon at one location, and then Corey 2 coached from one o'clock to 8 p.m. at the other end. That gets exhausting.
SPEAKER_00:And then Corey 3 probably just sat at home staring at the carpet and wondering where his life went, right? Yeah. Yeah. What else you got? Any other feels good uh horrible consequence mistakes that you uh have in the past?
SPEAKER_02:Unfortunately, I made a lot of them pre-two brain and many years ago, but I would say I could relate to the uh discounting drastically to get new members in the door. I made that mistake like many of us. I would say the other big mistake I made was, and it kind of goes back to the systems and staff playbook in place was hiring a you know upper management or GM for my gym and not having A, any idea how to pay them properly. So I overpaid, but also B, not having the systems and things in place for them to be successful.
SPEAKER_00:So how did you Yeah, because that's one where you you realize you're burned out and you're stressed, and she's like, oh, I'll just hire someone and offload, but then you abdicate and abdicate instead of delegating. I'm guessing that's probably what you did because I've done similar stuff, not quite to that level, but I did it with other stuff where I'm like, okay, you're my programmer head coach and you're my retention person, figure it out. And then my retention was terrible. Did you have a similar experience?
SPEAKER_02:Very similar. Mine was out of desperation when I had that second location. Well, I need someone to run my first. They're gonna know what to do. I made that mistake. They're gonna know what to do because I knew what to do.
unknown:Right.
SPEAKER_02:And yeah, I expect them to do this, I expect them to do that, but I never gave them the roadmap or gave them the expectations or the system to do it. And then I was just disappointed, and then kind of like you looked at grudgingly at the people that were paying less. Now I'm looking grudgingly at them because they're not doing what I think they should, but I never told them what to do.
SPEAKER_00:And it's so tough. Like, because you're trying to solve that problem. Like it probably felt good. You're like, I'm taking a clear step to buy back my time. I'm hiring a manager, and oh, I'm overpaying and the work's not getting done. And like, same thing for me. I I had a retention thing and I didn't lay out any systems, complete failure on my part. The retention plummets into the mountain, I'm losing 30 to 40 members, and I realize the retention nothing's being done, but I didn't put out that system because it's just I would have done it. So I thought it was assumed and it wasn't. And like, it's so, so, so common. And again, listeners, I'll tell you again, if you're in this position, TwoBrain now has a step-by-step plan called the value ladder to help you buy back your time and move into those upper level roles without abdicating responsibility for the roles you're leaving. So you're gonna document everything you do and you're gonna hire a cleaner and tell the cleaner, do this checklist. And then you'll go all the way up the chain. Corey does this with his clients all the time, and you can get yourself right up to CEO and you have general management all this stuff, but it follows a pattern. It's not whimsical, and here's 50 grand to do some stuff that you think will build the business, right? It just doesn't work like that anymore.
SPEAKER_02:No, it's much smoother now, and it makes us wish we had two-brained back uh when we opened our doors originally. It would have saved us some headaches. And now it would have made a whole lot more hard here.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that's and that's the point of the show, is really that these early mistakes sometimes and they're well-meaning. Like we both tried to do the right thing. It wasn't from a position of stupidity or greed, it was just inexperienced with lack of guidance. So we made these decisions and it cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars and years to pull myself out of those holes. I'm sure you have the same experience. Chris Cooper's had the same experience, so many people have. And now you can kind of just skip to the good part. So this is like here's a this is a cool story where uh this was back probably around the time 2015 when you were thinking about opening a gym. That was, or second gym, that was kind of when I was like, people were starting to do that and they were starting to buy buildings and things like that. I'm like, oh, this is maybe a good retirement plan. Maybe I should do this kind of stuff. In certain cases, it can work, obviously. However, I remember sitting down, there was a guy in my gym, he was one of our seed clients, and he was a construction guy. He built everything, skyscrapers, all sorts of stuff. And I said, dude, like would it be a good idea to build, you know, to build a building and so I'd own it? He's like, hell no. He's like, Do you know the cost associated with this? He's like, you would be underwater for so long before you'd ever make a profit, you would have all these headaches and problems, it would be a disaster for you. And then he literally off the top of his head quoted me this per square foot building price and was like, would you prepare be prepared for that? I was like, no. Yep. And I immediately pulled back and I realized that I talked to an expert who knew the numbers, the metrics, the data, and had a system, and he saved me from a huge, huge mistake. And interesting enough, that's what you're doing now with your clients.
SPEAKER_02:Absolutely. That's the beauty of mentoring, is now we you know, we've had numerous probably over the years, and it's having that person that can help you see the actual picture that, you know, get through all the noise and all the optimism if they're if you want to say that, but help you see the actual picture and make a knowledgeable decision, not just fly by the seat of our pants like we've done.
SPEAKER_00:What are some of the things that you see with mentees now? So we're fast forwarding all the 2025, we both got all our hall of shame behind us. What are some of the things that you see now, whether in you know in the mentors group that you talk about with other mentors or with your own mentees, things that like people want to do that you have to just say, hey, let's pump the brakes, let's run the numbers, and let's see what really should happen?
SPEAKER_02:I would say the biggest, kind of go back, and this is where I think my experience and my failures help me prevent others, is you know, just in the last couple months, I've had mentees come to me that wanted to, you know, expand to another location when they're not quite ready for that. Or um, I've had numerous that want to elevate staff. A to because they're now seeing success of mentoring, they're making more money. So their first thing is let's just start elevating people without going through the proper steps to get them there. I would say that's probably the most common thing. It's usually around that year mark of mentoring because they're seeing lots of success, they're making money, and now they start getting ahead of themselves a little bit, wanting to promote staff that maybe aren't ready or maybe not the right person to sit in that seat.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, there are a few things more dangerous than an entrepreneur with time on her, you know, their hands and a little bit of extra money, right? Because then you start thinking, like, what can I do? And sometimes you come up with great ideas, but sometimes you come up with really, you know, really terrible ones. And like the one that you're talking about there, like hiring uh or advancing staff people above above the systems and above maybe even their skill or development or whatever it is, that creates huge problems because you've got these key people in these small businesses, and once they're drilled into place, it's really hard to change things and move them and change like it's it can be horrible and that can cost you years. And some people I've heard get so frustrated they just like burn the business down, you know.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, and it costs you good stream. These were other mistakes I've made in the past. It it takes a A, you know, A plus or A staff member, and then you know, if you put them in the wrong seat, that can make them fail and we want all of our staff to succeed, and yes, that helps the business succeed.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and you know, I was at a Tinker meetup one time and I was watching uh, they were doing like a hot seat thing where they have one of the people in the middle talking about you know their situation and what they might want to do, and everyone kind of asks questions and whatever. And this was in a in a focus group of peers with you know some mentee mentors there leading as well. But uh, this one person was talking about she really felt pressure to do something because she had built a great business and it was running pretty well, and it was kind of doing what it was supposed to, kicking in some extra money, having everything was good. And so she's like, I you know, I need to do something. And so she kind of started talking about some of the things that she was thinking about, but she wasn't super passionate into any of them. She wasn't like the driving force was that she felt like she should do something because movement would feel good, but ultimately the people in the group kind of chatted with her and were like the best decision you can make right now is to choose to do nothing. Yeah. Right? Because you don't have the right plan in place, you don't have a firm direction, you don't know what you want. And you know, I thought that was really cool. And that was sort of a peer mentorship, and I think for you, that's probably where you say to clients, like, well, ask you, how do you say to clients, maybe not this, or maybe pull back or pump the brakes? Like, how do you talk to people when they're thinking about something that you can see is probably gonna be a problem?
SPEAKER_02:Well, I think that's something we as mentors see a lot because you know, the gym owners we work with for years possibly, they were grinding hard, they were working long hours, and I've even experienced this. And now, you know, we've built the business, we've put systems in place, and we do have that free time. And our natural instinct is let's just fill it with more work. And so I think the biggest thing I do with mentees is we just like talk through the situation, have them really analyze it from their perspective, and then break it down, you know, depending on what it is, does it move the business forward towards your perfect day? Or is it gonna be something that takes you further from that perfect day? I think that's one of the best activities we do with mentees is that perfect day activity. Because that bases our decisions. Like, does this decision move us closer to that or further away from that? Um, and then we can break it down if we believe it moves us forward, then we can break it down more. And okay, do we have the systems in place, the staff in place to expand to a second location? Or, you know, do we have the money allocated and the systems in place to hire a GM? I think it just allows for a clear mind, and then we can actually make more, you know, knowledgeable decisions and make better decisions in the long run.
SPEAKER_00:And you know, Chris Cooper is blogging about that, uh, I think it's coming out in a week or so, and he's talking, he calls it the just ask method. And one of the things, I'll give a quick preview of what he's talking about, is asking important questions. And one of the questions that he talked about is like, what is my perfect day? How do I want to live? And exactly what you just said. Sometimes as entrepreneurs, you feel pressure to do something. Everyone else is doing this, I should do this, or I should I have some spare time, I should do this. Maybe the answer though is like, I should spend more time with my dog or my partner or my family, or I should just relax on the beach. Like, that's a valid career decision once you've built a successful business. It's not always doubling down, even though you certainly can.
SPEAKER_02:Uh, and a lot of times we find talking with mentees, like instead of chasing this thing that you think is going to make you money, maybe we need to focus on investing in our staff, developing our staff.
SPEAKER_01:Yep.
SPEAKER_02:And are we truly, you know, a lot of times it comes down to are we truly maximizing our golden goose or are we, you know, we still have something left in the tank there, but let's we're wanting to chase something else. So it's really, you know, I feel like our job as mentors is to paint the picture for them and then help them get to the answer that fits them best.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and I saw an example of that in our one of our leaderboards. It was either for revenue or net order benefit or one of the sexy ones. And the gym owner had a it was just a spectacular number, and he's a single gym. And he we said, Is this? We asked him, is it consistent? Will this number continue? And he said, This number will continue. It's actually low this month because I'm significantly investing in staff. And I was like, that's wow, that's you're doubling down inside your location to get more, just a better team that's going to get that golden goose running better. And you don't need to necessarily like try to replicate that over there. There's so much potential in that one business that you can like really maximize one place rather than expanding to two. I'll ask you this when you were going to expand to two businesses, were you bursting at the seams of the first one?
SPEAKER_02:We were bursting at the seams when it came to members, but then the one of the other big side effects of expanding was it pulled my staff in multiple directions and it did it deteriorated our product that we were producing that made us so successful in bursting at the seams.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah. So here's what I'll talk about. You've laid out some of the stuff, but I'll lay this out and you tell me what you think about this. Yep. If people want to avoid huge mistakes, you know, stuff that feels good right at the time, but it's a huge mistake down the line. My number one thing is gonna be get a mentor who can give you honest perspective. What do you think of that?
SPEAKER_02:Absolutely. And you know, I think, and I and Chris talks about this often. All of us need a mentor for most facets of our life. Um even though I mentor other gyms, I have a two-brain mentor that I meet with on a regular basis. Because we all need that, you know, that view from outside to give us the best options for our business and to also keep us focused. Because I I'll be honest, I still want to chase that shiny object.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, we all do.
SPEAKER_02:Um, but having my mentor make sure I'm focused on what I am and making sure I'm still aligned with my perfect day is a game changer. I, you know, I started with Two Brain in 22. I was kind of late in the game, being 10 years into owning a gym. I would have paid anything to start it that earlier just because it's that big of a game changer.
SPEAKER_00:Well, you think about even if the mentorship fee was$100,000, you would have avoided like several hundred thousand dollar mistakes, right?
SPEAKER_02:So that oh yeah, I went and bought a second gym that cost me uh we won't we won't discuss how much it costs, but a lot of money.
SPEAKER_00:It was more than the price of mentorship, though, I can imagine.
SPEAKER_02:It would have bought me many, many, many years of mentoring.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and that's that's the whole point here, guys. Is that the listeners, if you're out there and you're struggling with a decision, mentorship and help is available. And the first thing you can do is book a call via the link in the show notes to talk about what that might look like for you. And the whole, the long and short of it is you're going to find out about a concise plan for your business to help you maximize growth and capital, just PR all your metrics. And that's kind of what we're looking for. And that's the second thing that I'll say is that I think if you're struggling out there right now and you don't have a mentor, I think the problem that you probably need to solve is start looking at your numbers. Yep. Dig into your data. What do you think of that? Because what happens when you're talking to a mentee and you start running numbers?
SPEAKER_02:Oh, it's a game changer. So I would say, and you probably agree with this, 90 plus percent of the mentees that start with two-brain haven't looked at their numbers before.
SPEAKER_00:I hadn't.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. And I hadn't, you know, I avoided them because especially when times got rough, because I didn't want to know what the true picture was. And I think it just not only does it paint a clearer picture, it allows us to identify the biggest opportunity. You know, when we have our numbers, it tells us what we actually need to address. And most gym owners out there think we only need to address getting more members in the door. But when we have our numbers laid out, then it lets us know maybe we need to work on charging more. Like you, you know, maybe are we undercharging? Are we not keeping people long enough? Um, it allows us to make better decisions that actually move the needle forward instead of just constantly chasing new members for the rest of our lives.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and someone, if someone had sat down, like if I had sat down with you in 2009 or 11, 11 when I opened the physical location, and I'd said, hey, I want to offer this founding member rate at 84 bucks. What you would probably say to me is like, let's run the numbers and see how many memberships you need to sell to break even to pay for all the stuff that you're buying right now and your lease and all these new things and your staff. 84 doesn't sound like a good plan. 150 at the full price does not sound like a good plan. And let's put a mark, let's get the real numbers in place. Instead, I just guessed. Like I made those numbers up. I literally looked at another gym, I was like, nah, close enough and whatever. It was gutting. And I ended up, I've told the story before, but I ran the numbers by 2013. I knew that I needed to do a rate increase. I didn't do it for five years, but it was literally in my software. I just never pulled the trigger.$100,000 mistake. I could have had that money in my bank account, and I didn't do it because no one told me to pull the trigger until I actually got a mentor who showed me exactly how to roll out a rate increase. And guess what? When I did it, I didn't lose a single member. My business didn't go under, and I earned more money, and my stress went down.
SPEAKER_02:Well, it actually made me smile when you were telling the founder story because there was a gym not too far from me in St. Louis that you know she was a smart gym owner. She got with Two Brain before she opened.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
SPEAKER_02:And I think when I met with her right after she opened, she opened with like 60 or 70 members and was profitable. And it made me jealous. I opened with a couple of members and was not profitable for a very long time.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I had 11 and I had an Excel spreadsheet and I had an envelope where you put your checks on the door or cash payments every month if you felt like it. That's literally how it went. It was it was a grind, and like the only reason I got through was because we were the like one of two gyms doing CrossFit in a big city. And I got by just because of that. And then when business got tough, I had to get by because of TwoBrain. And so that changed everything. You mentioned something really cool starting a gym with TwoBrain. The start of gym course and free resources are available. I'll put a link in the show notes. You can go there and take a look at that. If you are thinking about starting a gym right now and do not want to make$100,000 10-year unraveling mistakes, let's go there. Click that link down there. Corey, anything else, any other free resources? And I'm gonna point to the big forum that we have for gym owners. Do you uh spend a bit of time in Gym Owners United and see what's going on in there?
SPEAKER_02:I do. Chris has always thrown up good info. I think that the community as a whole ask good questions, but they also ask a lot of questions that I know a mentor could help them get through a lot of their heartache a lot faster. But I think the the resource that I use, I'm using with several mentees right now, and I've used for years is like you talked about the rate increase toolkit item that TwoBrain produces is a game changer because not only does it allow you to make an intelligent decision on how much to raise, but it walks you through the steps of what needs to be done to avoid. I we both probably heard the horror stories of people losing half their members doing a rate increase. And I've done now rate increases with over probably two dozen mines, and we haven't lost hardly any members. So and they're all making a lot more money now in serving the clients they want to serve. So it's a beautiful thing.
SPEAKER_00:And I think like your experience is not out of line. Uh, Greg Stroud, one of our longest serving two-brain mentors, I feel like he's done, I think it's 60 or 80 rate increases. Every single one went fine. Nobody lost their members, nobody went under all those gyms did better. The plan works, it's available for two-brain clients. But I will tell you this, listeners, if you want to take a look at a high high-speed version of that plan, a primer, DM Chris Cooper head at gymownersunited.com right now. Look up Cooper and ask him for the rate increase guide, and he'll help you out with that. And it's not the full package for two-brain clients, obviously, with the support of a mentor, but it can get you started poking in the right direction. Uh I'm also going to push you guys over to another package, uh, goldenhourchallenge.com. I'll put a link in the show notes to that as well. That is Chris Cooper's attempt to get you to focus for one hour a day and do one thing to grow your business before you do anything else. So if you head there, you can get a free resource hub, access to a free resource hub, and you'll get a bunch of stuff that Chris will teach you how to focus and give you some ideas on exactly what to do. But if all that stuff isn't moving the needle, because again, it takes somebody to hold you accountable, you're gonna want to work with someone like Corey. So, Corey, what is the best way for people to get in touch with you?
SPEAKER_02:Uh, they could send me an email at Corey C O R E Y at TwoBrain Business.com. I'd love to help people and uh the entire team here at TwoBrain, we all are mentors because we want to see other gyms win. That's what fills our cup and that's what helped, you know, motivates us to get on the calls to help mentors or to help our mentees through difficult times at times. Uh, we want to see them win just as bad as we want to win at our own gyms. So we'd love to help as many gyms as we can.
SPEAKER_00:If you want to take the first step today, book a call, link in the show notes, head down there, and you will match up with someone who can chat with you about your business and give you some ideas about how mentor can help you supercharge that, avoid bad mistakes, improve your metrics, and not lay bad tracks in the wrong direction that are gonna make you come on the show with me and Corey in five years and tell us I should have listened to you then.
