MADLAB RADIO - FINDLAY MOVEMENT
Patrick and Sarah joined Madlab in the spring of 2020 during the initial COVID-19 shutdowns. They knew that better systems were needed to keep their coaches and incentivize them properly moving forward.
After an initial meeting with Patty, Sarah and Patrick dove right in and began working with Audrey (their implementation manager).
Since starting, Patrick and Sarah can now see a future they didn't see before and credit the coach co-op and compensation model for allowing them the freedom to take off for a one-month-long vacation in the summer of 2022.
In Madlab Radio Episode #1 Patrick and Sarah discuss why they ran their business the way they did in the early days and how using the Madlab system, its nine laws, and its six KPIs has drastically changed how they run their business and created a financial future they never knew was possible as a gym owner.
