Joe Cirulli, Gainesville Health & Fitness Center, Mental Game, Non-Tech, Subscription (Membership) Model

When Joe Cirulli reached in his pocket for some money to buy a soda and discovered that he had only 12 cents left to his name, he was embarrassed. Then he got angry that he allowed himself to get in that position.

Soon after, Joe wrote down a list of 10 goals. The list included “Save $1 million,” and “Own a Mercedes-Benz like the one driven by the Six Million Dollar Man” and “Own a health club in Gainesville.” (See the full list below.) He read his list every morning and every night. Then, one at a time, he achieved all of those goals.

Joe Cirulli owns the Gainesville Health & Fitness Center, a 65,000 square foot club with over 28,000 members, along with Gainesville Health & Fitness Center for Women, a 24,000 square foot women-only center. 2004 marks the 28th year of business for GHFC.
