Show Notes
In this episode, Dennis speaks via Zoom with J.P. Batista, co-owner of the relatively new and proudly gay NoHo Gym in North Hollywood. J.P. talks why, after years as a personal trainer, he decided to open his own gym, what has surprised him about the experience and his advice to other entrepreneurs with dreams of starting their own businesses. He also talks about the last-minute Pride Festival he spear-headed in Toluca Lake Pride Festival in June and the overwhelmingly positive response he got from it. Other topics include: why he decided to proudly fly two rainbow flags outside the gym, the gym's official mascot Joe the poodle, gay pool party dynamics, fitness culture in the LGBTQ+ community, the use of GLP-1 medications, the role of social media in building a new business and why he loves folding the gym's towels and refilling the water jugs sooooo much.
