Great Coach, Broken Model

FREE LIVE WORK

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.

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. It's 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.

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.

For everyone who stays through the full session, three things are happening:

Social Proof

"I went from $2,400/month with 40 group fitness clients to $8,500/month with just 22 individual design clients. The OPEX Method didn't just increase my income by 254%, it gave me my life back."
— Sofia Rizzo, OPEX Coach
"Four years ago, I was making $40,000 and considering leaving the industry. Last year I earned $127,000 using the OPEX Method, and I only work 4 days a week."

— Sam Smith, OPEX Coach
"I was burned out with just 1 client. The OPEX Method gave me the systems and confidence to build a waiting list. Now I have 29 clients and had to stop taking new ones."

— Dan Jackson, OPEX Coach
