meet your NEW BUSINESS mentor
Hey, I'm Katie!
Over the last 20 years, I have been perfecting the art of running successful gyms and classes. My experience ranges from setting up classes in school halls and village halls to owning multiple premises and growing an online presence. Thousands of mistakes later, I cracked the code on what it takes to run a profitable gym while giving you the time to grow your business.
I started Gold Medal Business, a boutique mentorship company for children's activity and sports entrepreneurs, because I'm passionate about helping others in this space using online and offline experience. We started our business out of a passion for teaching children the activities we provide, but no one taught us how to run it as a business—two very different things.
We at Gold Medal Business firmly believes that mentorship and guidance are the fast-track approaches to growing your business successfully.

"We’ve introduced a lot of new systems, delegated things to staff differently, etc. It’s completely changed my outlook on my business. I’ve been able to be less ‘in it’ and work in it more. "
Lauren, Dance West
"Katie got
me to go way back to basics, i.e. enrolling customers properly, nurturing them, and getting the staff in. Even just with the basics, new members are coming in and things are going really well."
Joleen, Cheerleading Club
"Since I’ve been working with Katie, I’ve got a lot more structure
