The Dave Bess Show
Welcome to Movement Builders - where gym owners learn to serve fewer and live freer.
I'm Dave Bess, founder of Movement Builders and gym owner who escaped the volume trap using the 3M System. Instead of chasing more clients, I help gym owners build movements that attract premium clients organically.
This channel is for gym owners who:
- Feel stuck despite having a "successful" gym
- Want to work with dream clients only
- Are tired of paid ads and lead generation games
- Know there's something bigger they're meant to build
Every episode gives you real strategies from someone who's walked this path. No theory, just what actually works.
DM me "3M" on any platform for my free client attraction system.
Subscribe for new movement building strategies every week.
LET'S GO.
