Cale Owen’s Background

• Cale’s love for fitness started during his youth while trying to become a better baseball player. He saw how strengthening and conditioning exercises helped him on the field. In college, his favorite class was personal training, and it clicked that this was what he wanted to do in life.

• After college, he had the opportunity to start a gym with a friend from school. Due to their inexperience in running a business, their business failed.

• A couple of years later, he started another gym in St. Augustine, Florida. During his adventure at this new business, he continued to struggle because he didn’t understand marketing and sales.

• His luck changed after seeing Alex Ramosi online and signed onto Gym Launch in 2017. Within ten days of doing so, he made more than he did in the first nine months of that year.

• Following the marketing and sales systems of Gym Launch, Cale was able to turn his luck around and build a successful business.
