Ever wondered what it takes to transform a franchise gym into a thriving independent fitness sanctuary? In Episode 66 of Plus Fitness with Tara, I sit down with the inspiring Kailey Rowan, owner of North County Fitness and Performance in Vista, California. We dive deep into Kailey's bold rebranding journey, exploring the challenges and triumphs that come with breaking free from a franchise. Kailey shares how her gym has become a welcoming haven for everyone, whether you're just starting out or a seasoned athlete.

We chat about the logistics of running a gym, from managing payroll to the crucial need for personal downtime. Kailey also opens up about her love for Olympic lifting and balancing coaching with ownership duties. Plus, we discuss how COVID-19 reshaped the fitness industry and Kailey's plans for future growth, including online programs and travel goals. Tune in to hear Kailey's inspiring story of community, perseverance, and passion for fitness!
