このコンテンツについて
In this episode of Business Is Hard, Trevor sits down with Ron Partlow, former pro bodybuilder, coach, gym owner, and co-founder of West Coast Iron. Ron shares his journey from accidentally launching a coaching business in the early 2000s to building one of BC’s most respected independent gyms.
They talk about what it really takes to grow a grassroots brand, how Ron leveraged authenticity over advertising, and the lessons learned from the early days at Mutant, where he helped shape a new model for fitness marketing.
Ron also opens up about the challenges of gym ownership during COVID, the decision not to over-expand, and why chasing happiness — not just growth — drives his business mindset today. It’s a conversation about loyalty, identity, risk, and self-awareness as a founder.
Whether you're in fitness, retail, or building from scratch, Ron's story is for you.
