Coaching for FitBiz leaders ready for real growth

Studio Owner CEO
That’s the ACC shift.

Custom-fit strategy across finance, ops, and sales, so you can stop running a studio and start leading your business.

Lead with clarity. Grow with intention. Life life on your terms.

BOOK A CALL

You’re ready for a title change:

Owner-Operator → Fitness CEO

You’re outgrowing the way you run your studio.

You’re still the one behind the spreadsheets, the Slack threads, the sales goals, the team decisions… and somehow, the playlist.

It’s working. But it’s not sustainable.

At this level, hustle isn’t the flex.
Strategic leadership is.

This isn’t just a studio anymore.
It’s a company.
And you’re not just the owner.
You’re the CEO.

Let’s lead like it.


Whether you’re opening your first location or scaling for the future…

We help you stop working in your business, and start working on it.

With High-Touch 1:1 Coaching, Fractional C-Suite support, and Group Coaching across finance, operations, and sales, we meet you at your level and move you forward.

The CORE of Aligned Growth

At Active Core, we don’t do guesswork or one-size-fits-all playbooks.
We use a method that’s as strategic as it is human.

Because building a business that actually works (for you, your team, and your goals) requires structure that fits.

That’s where our CORE Method comes in.

This is how we help FitBiz leaders move from maxed-out operator to intentional CEO with clarity, confidence, and serious momentum.

  • We get to the heart of what matters: your numbers, your priorities, your actual vision.

    Because if the path isn’t clear, the strategy doesn’t stick.

  • We clean up the backend so your business runs like a business.

    Cleaner financials. Streamlined ops. Smarter team structure.

  • We redesign what no longer fits, from pricing and roles to how you lead.

    This isn’t about starting over. It’s about making your business easier to run and easier to grow.

  • With clarity and structure in place, now we scale.

    Not through hustle. Through intentional strategy that creates capacity, profit, and impact.

The CORE Method isn’t just what we teach.


It’s how we lead alongside you:

Inside your business, at your pace, toward what’s next.
