In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we sit down with Tobias Young, a 26-year veteran of the fitness industry and the founder of TNT Fit Pro Coaching. Tobias shares his incredible journey from working long hours as an in-person trainer and gym manager to pioneering online fitness coaching 16 years ago. He delves into the pivotal moment he transitioned from training clients to coaching other fitness professionals, detailing the unique 9-step framework he developed to help them build scalable, six-figure online businesses and escape the burnout he once experienced.

Tobias gets into the nuts and bolts of his business model, discussing his core offers and the ideal clients he serves—from online trainers stuck at $10k/month to gym owners looking to add an online component. He emphasizes the importance of organic growth strategies first, followed by strategic team building and paid advertising. Tobias also opens up about the very real challenges of scaling, including having his ad accounts hacked, and leaves founders with invaluable advice: to invest in themselves by learning from those who have already paved the way and to commit to the "dirty reps" of consistent, daily action, much like training for a championship.
