Show Notes
Today, I'm joined by Dane McCarthy, founder of The Athletic Clubs.
Training in squads, members of the private NYC gyms meet twice weekly for a full-body workout and social fix — holding each other accountable while having fun in the process.
In this episode, we dive deeper into the chain's uniquely communal approach.
We also cover:
• Creating community • Optimizing for member retention • Scaling the business with intention
