Ep. 398 - Why I Left OHM Fitness and What This Experience Taught Me About Business, Boundaries, and Trusting Yourself

May 16, 2026

In today’s episode, I’m sharing something I’ve been sitting on for a while…

Why I made the decision to walk away from OHM Fitness and why our location ultimately closed.

This is not about calling people out or placing blame. This is me speaking from my personal experience as a 40 percent profit partner, what I saw behind the scenes, what we built, and what I learned the hard way.

When I joined at the end of 2024, I was excited. The concept felt innovative. The opportunity felt aligned. And I chose to invest my time, energy, and expertise through sweat equity instead of capital because I had multiple income streams supporting me outside of the business.

Over the next year, we grew the studio from 112 members to 225 members and nearly doubled revenue. I’m incredibly proud of what we built as a team.

But behind the growth, there were challenges. Operational friction. Tech issues. Misalignment. And moments that made me pause and start asking deeper questions.

In this episode, I open up about:

• Why I initially said yes to the opportunity
• What we actually built and why I’m proud of it
• The challenges that started to surface in 2025
• What it felt like operating inside a system that didn’t always feel aligned
• The financial realities and overhead that ultimately made it unsustainable
• Conversations I had with other owners that shifted my perspective
• Why I chose to walk away and what I’ve learned from it

This episode is for anyone in business, anyone considering a partnership, and anyone who has ever ignored their gut because they believed in the bigger vision.

If something feels off, there is usually a reason.
