🚀 Big News: We’ve Rebranded! 🚀

Welcome back to the podcast! The first thing you’ll notice—our name has changed from Gym Owner Freedom to The Profit Lifestyle for Fitness Entrepreneurs. In this episode, we’re diving into why we made this shift and what you can expect moving forward.


THE show for gym owners wanting to achieve more FREEDOM in their lives through their business... and create more time, money, and impact for themselves and their communities.

The hard way to grow is by doubling your membership. The easy way to grow is to learn how to double your average client value so you need half as many clients (it's not as hard as you think... for any business model).

Learn from Scott Carpenter, a 6x functionally retired gym owner and fitness author with multiple 7-figure businesses, as he walks you through exactly how he started his gyms and the best practices he uses in the fitness industry for marketing, advertising, sales, fulfillment, retention, hiring, systems, operations, and location scaling.

Gym Owner Freedom: More Money. Less Clients.

  • Episode 223: Your Email List Is NOT Dead — You’re Just Not Using It Right
    Jun 15 2026

    Most gym owners, fitness business owners, and wellness entrepreneurs are sitting on one of the most valuable assets in their business:

    Their email list.

    The problem is, most of them are letting that list die.

    In this episode of The Profit Lifestyle Podcast, Scott Carpenter and Andy Miller break down why your email list still has massive revenue potential — and how the right campaign, copy, offer, and follow-up strategy can turn old contacts into new customers without spending a dollar on ads.

    Scott shares a real-world success story from Joline Fisher, a nutrition coaching business owner who was struggling with declining results from her old six-week challenge model. After implementing a strategic email campaign, she filled all 10 spots in her case study program, booked 13 more discovery calls, and created the kind of “good problem” every business owner wants: more demand than available spots.

    The biggest takeaway?

    You may already have tens of thousands of dollars sitting inside your contact list. You just need the right play to activate it.

    In this episode, Scott and Andy talk about:

    • Why your email list is not dead
    • How most gym owners are wasting their existing leads
    • Why newsletters and generic advice emails are not enough
    • How to create anticipation before launching an offer
    • Why urgency, scarcity, and social proof matter
    • How Joline filled her case study program without ad spend
    • Why old six-week challenge models are becoming harder to sell
    • How to repackage your current services into stronger offers
    • The difference between basic email blasts and strategic campaigns
    • Why business owners need to evolve in the GLP-1 and medical weight loss era
    • How gym owners can create muscle preservation offers without offering GLP-1s
    • Why your current list, social media, and existing audience may be your fastest revenue opportunity
    • The new Profit Lifestyle University access option

    Scott and Andy also introduce a new way to access the resources, campaigns, courses, and business plays they’ve built for fitness, health, and wellness business owners.
