How Owen Built a Strength Business That Runs Itself
Every now and then, a story comes along that perfectly captures what this whole game is really about. Not hacks. Not funnels. Not overnight success โ€” but patience, clarity, and showing up again and again when most people wouldโ€™ve quit. This is one of those stories. Hereโ€™s how Owen Dockham quietly built one of the strongest, most systemized HIT studios in the world โ€” and the life he always wanted along the way. In 2018, Owen Dockham joined HIB Pro. ๐Ÿ’ช At the time, his studio โ€” Live Oak Strength in Emeryville, California โ€” was bringing in about $20K per month, and he was personally training more than 50 clients each week. Now? ๐Ÿ‘‡ Owen leads a team of 5 trainers (2 full-time, 3 part-time), doing 160+ sessions per week at $100 per session โ€” averaging $16Kโ€“$20K per week in auto-recurring passes. And hereโ€™s the kicker: ๐ŸŽฏ He doesnโ€™t run ads. He doesnโ€™t run funnels. He barely does any proactive marketing. As he told me: โ€œThe only real marketing I did was BNI in the beginning โ€” and after that, it was just word of mouth. And to me, it was more about building a community with strong, meaningful relationships with other people doing really cool things in the world.โ€ Let that sink in.ย ๐Ÿ’ญ Owen didnโ€™t rely on flashy marketing or paid ads to grow. He built one of the most respected HIT studios in the world by focusing on relationships โ€” with his clients, his team, and his community. And this year, Live Oak Strength celebrates its 10th anniversary โ€” ten full years in business as of September 2025. ๐ŸŽ‰ A decade of lessons, evolution, and staying the course through every challenge. No hype. No shortcuts. Just genuine connection, exceptional service, and consistency over time. Instead, he focused on 3 things: 1. Product First ๐Ÿ† From the start, Owen doubled down on building an exceptional service โ€” not just the workout, but the entire client experience. Clients often mention how welcoming the team is and how the studioโ€™s calm, inspiring aesthetic makes them feel at ease.

Peace be to you all, My name is Ryan Edward Gerrard of San Diego and who I am is a follower of our Lord Jesus Christ that happens to be a HIT instructor by trade. I've been in the fitness industry since 2019 (what a time to start lol) and have been practicing HIT for 5 years now. First honing my skills at a Corpo gym (LA Fitness) for 3 years and then branching out to a personal training boutique known as Bigger Picture Fitness in San Marcos for the last 2 years. A day is a day and is always a blessing no matter which day it is. That being said, what I like to do for "fun" is read philosophy, theology and the latest BS in exercise science for desert haha and be of service with my brother knights in the Knights of Columbus, relaxing with a Pipe (tobacco), fire pit and good company is always moments I cherish. God love you, Ryan
