Great Coach, Broken Model
FREE LIVE WORKSHOP
The real math on why most coaching businesses cap out and what the sustainable ones do differently
MONDAY, MAY 18th, 2026 - 1PM EDT
Your coaching business model has a math problem.
In this free live workshop, OPEX CEO Carl Hardwick shows you the real numbers on group, personal training, and individual design coaching side by side.
You'll see exactly where your model breaks and what the coaches building sustainable six-figure practices do differently.
Plus, you'll get a forecasting tool to run your own numbers and see with total clarity whether your current model can actually get you where you want to go. Bring your real numbers. You're going to use them.
Free. Live. Interactive. Replay available for all registered attendees.
What You’ll Walk Away With
In 90 minutes, Carl will walk you through the business math that most coaching education programs never cover. This isn't theory.
It's a working session.
Here's what you'll leave with:
Your actual income ceiling in your current coaching model, calculated, not estimated.
A side-by-side comparison of the real math on group fitness, personal training, and individual design coaching. Same industry, completely different numbers.
A live forecasting tool walkthrough where Carl plugs in real inputs and shows you what happens when you change just one or two variables, a $50 price increase, two more clients per month, a 6% shift in retention. The compounding effect will change how you think about your business.
The one metric most coaches ignore that can cut your profit nearly in half over 24 months or double it.
The OPEX Business Forecasting Tool an updated version of the tool Carl walks through live. Yours to keep. Plug in your real numbers, run your 12- and 24-month forecast, and see exactly where your business is headed.
Who is this For
You're coaching full-time (or close to it) but your income hasn't matched your effort
You've tried adding more clients or more hours and it hasn't moved the needle
You're considering shifting from group or PT to a different model but you haven't done the math
You've never actually forecasted your coaching business 12 or 24 months out
You want to know, with real numbers, whether your current model can get you where you want to go
This workshop is built for coaches who are already working with clients.
Whether you're running group classes, doing personal training, coaching individual design, or some combination. If you've been in the game for at least a year and you've ever thought, "I'm working too hard for what I'm making," this is the session you've been missing.
This is NOT a beginner workshop. We're not covering how to get your first client. We're digging into the business math behind every coaching model so you can make an informed decision about your career.
Who’s Leading This
Carl Hardwick is the CEO of OPEX Fitness and the lead instructor of the OPEX Method Mentorship. He's been coaching for over 20 years and still actively coaches clients today.
Over the past 25+ years, OPEX has educated more than 10,000 fitness coaches worldwide. Carl has personally mentored thousands of them.
The reason he's running this session is simple: he's watched too many great coaches, coaches with real talent and deep care for their clients, burn out or leave the industry because of a business model problem, not a coaching problem.
This workshop is Carl's attempt to fix that with math instead of motivation.
Kandace Hudspeth, OPEX CMO, will be co-hosting and walking you through some exclusive offers available only to workshop attendees.
