We Help Fitness Business Owners Build Profitable Gyms That Run Smoothly Without Them

Nicky and the FBDA team are great team Brilliant experience with Nicky and F.B.D.A. He’s provided spot-on advice that has helped me manage my gym more efficiently and profitably. Professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended for any gym owner or manager.

Thanks to the guidance from FBDA, I've been able to take my company, NOVAFIT, to the next level. In November, I achieved my highest turnover ever. Hiring staff had been a challenge for years, but with the help of FBDA, this process went smoothly. I now have two fantastic trainers in my team, who, after a short induction period, have developed into true NOVAFIT professionals. I have also started to systematise my fitness business, which has already brought a lot of structure and efficiency. The biggest advantage? I now have the confidence to work on NOVAFIT's growth without having to be on the floor every day. This gives me the space to strategically expand my business. FBDA helped me make a crucial transition: from working in my business day-to-day to working fully on my business. Thanks to their guidance, I look to the future with confidence. A huge thank you to FBDA for their expertise, practical tips, and the confidence they have given me. With your help, I am making a difference, and NOVAFIT is growing faster than ever. Are you also looking for a way to grow and professionalise your business? FBDA is the partner you need

I started working with Nicky at FBDA in late 2023, as a referral from a marketing company I had been working with. At the time my business was struggling financially and in desperate need of help. It turns out my business needed help with multiple areas and not just finances. Having Nicky in my corner to provide me with support and advice has helped me grow the business and set systems in place for future growth. I would highly recommend all business owners have a coach and there is no one better than Nicky to provide that help. He has literally changed my business and my life!

I’ve been working with Nicky at FBDA for over five years, and his coaching has made a huge difference in my gym business. Before, I only offered open gym memberships, but with his help setting up small group personal training and focusing on finance and KPIs, I created a new income stream that’s made my business much stronger, especially with new gyms opening nearby. Nicky’s guidance has not only boosted my revenue but also improved how I manage the business day-to-day, giving me a better work-life balance. I’m really grateful for his support and would recommend him to anyone wanting to grow their fitness business.

The FBDA mentoring and community over the past several years have impacted my business massively and helped me to become a far more effective leader and business owner.

I started out doing PT sessions in my parents’ garage, and now I’ve got my own studio. Working with Nicky and the FBDA team was the best decision I’ve made for my business. I can’t recommend them enough. They genuinely saved my business; without them, I would’ve quit. The support, the accountability, and knowing you don’t have to do it all alone makes a massive difference. If you run a fitness business and need help, Nicky and his team are the people you want in your corner. 1000%.

FBDA have been brilliant. I wanted a business coach to drill into my business numbers and help me build sustainable financial tracking. Kev has helped me do exactly that. Combined with the in person mastermind meet ups it’s been an awesome time working with everyone at FBDA.

Working with FBDA has been amazing and it’s transformed the way I think about and run my gyms. The coaching allows me to focus on what actually matters, make better decisions and gives me clear direction. My business operates at a much higher level now. Financially, the impact has been huge. Within the first 12 months, I managed to triple my owner compensation, whilst strengthening the business’s cashflow. One of the biggest benefits has been the support with training and developing my managers. They’ve helped me turn good people into strong leaders, which frees me up to stay focused on strategy and acquisitions rather than being dragged back into day-to-day operations. If you run a fitness business and want to grow, without the guesswork then FBDA is the best investment you can make.

There is so much I can say about the help Nicky, Baz and the whole fbda community. I'm not sure this review will do it justice. I went from being a new PT training out of my garage with literally one, yes one, client. To being a profitable and sustainable business turning over xx,xxx every month and most importantly being profitable. Being a business owner is tough. I call bs on most things you see on social media. The ups and downs are intense. Just when you feel like you're getting somewhere some business or personal thing will come out of nowhere and knock you down. Speaking to Baz regularly keep me in check. Someone that's been there done that and wants you to succeed. Lots of great pts but not the same number of great businesses. I'll update on the next chapter when it happens.

After having being in business three and a half years, we had had reasonable success and growth for two lads with not much business experience. Having reaching out to different mentorships, we never felt like any of them really understood us or our business, until we spoke to Nicky. From the first call, he made it super clear that he knew exactly what we needed and was clear on how we could go to the next level in business. It didn’t take much convincing to join FBDA and let them guide us to success. After nearly 2 years of working with Maxine from the FBDA team, we have grown hugely and have so much more control over our business and a clear pathway to continual success. Without FBDA, Nicky and Maxine, we would not be in the place we are today. We could not recommend reaching out and having an initial chat with the guys, and see what they can help you achieve in your business!
