Join host Jason Markowicz (CEO of Fitness Premier) and co-host Mike Orwig (Multi-Unit Franchisee) as they sit down with one of the youngest rockstars in the Fitness Premier system – Ricky Panfil.

Ricky is already a full-time personal trainer, group training leader, and rising leader inside his club. In this high-energy episode, Ricky opens up about:

• How he went from being a skinny high school kid to obsessing over fitness.
• How he got into Fitness Premier and tips on getting started.
• The moment he realized training people wasn’t just a job – it was his calling
• The client transformations that still give him chills (and sometimes make him tear up)
• His unapologetic mission to prove that age is just a number when you show up, work hard, and genuinely care
• Big goals for the future: from becoming a club manager to one day owning his own Fitness Premier locations

If you’re a young trainer wondering if you’re “too young” to make an impact, or if you just love stories of hungry, heart-driven people going all-in on what they love – this episode will fire you up.

Ricky Panfil is living proof that when passion meets work ethic, age doesn’t matter – results do.
