Episode 111: Female Fridays with Joshua Mendez


You are in for a treat, Female emPOWERED listeners! It’s time for another episode with a very special guest, Joshua Mendez, our very own COO and CFO here at Pilates in the Grove! 

He started with us back in December of 2021, after finding him through a recruiting firm, and he is my first full time employee that doesn’t provide a service. And he’s completely changed my life and business! 


How a COO can improve your business

Joshua manages both the operational and financial aspects of our business at Pilates in the Grove, taking many things off of my plate and transforming my business in so many ways. Coming from the food and beverage industry, Joshua was burnt out and looking for something new when our paths crossed.


Tune in as we talk about his coming on board and his role at Pilates in the Grove and how a COO can drastically change the trajectory and long-term success of your business. 


In this episode we discuss:

  • From food and beverage to the financial world
  • Things that stood out to him at Pilates in the Grove
  • Individuality in your team
  • Josh’s role at PITG
  • Forecasting and how it’s beneficial to businesses
  • P&L in the fitness industry 
  • Marketing investments and ROI 
  • Levers to pull to improve your bottom line
  • Hiring new team members 
  • Deciding to expand or not
  • What it looks like to work with Josh through Inner Circle
  • Rapid fire questions
