In this episode, George is joined by his wife and business partner, Emily, to reveal the most important hire you can make in your SGPT gym: an Executive Assistant. Emily shares how stepping into this role freed George to focus on sales, delivery, and culture - the tasks that actually grow the business. Together, they explain why an EA is often overlooked, how it accelerates growth, and why investing in this hire pays back many times over.
George, joined by his wife and business partner Emily, dives into the game-changing hire that every SGPT gym owner overlooks: the Executive Assistant. Together, they break down how bringing in an EA frees up your time from low-value admin tasks so you can double down on sales, delivery, and culture - the work that really grows your gym.
George shares how hiring Emily as his EA from day one was the single biggest decision that allowed INTENT91 to scale to four gyms in just five years. They discuss the resistance most gym owners feel around making this hire, why it’s worth the investment even when it feels risky, and how to audit your time to see exactly what an EA could take off your plate.
The truth is, every hour you spend buried in admin could have been spent generating significantly more revenue. By clinging onto those £10-per-hour tasks, you’re holding back the growth of your gym. Freeing up your time to focus on sales, retention, and leadership is what drives scale - and an EA is the key to making that happen.
