  • How Coach Rocky used Gymdesk to get his Sundays Back
    Jun 9 2025

    Running a youth sports academy means wearing many hats—coach, mentor, administrator, and sometimes even accountant.

    For Rocky DeAndrade, founder of X Factor Hoops Training, growing his basketball academy was a dream come true, but the reality soon became a logistical nightmare.

    Before Gymdesk, Rocky’s entire Sunday would vanish into a maze of spreadsheets, endless texting, and manual scheduling tasks—a story all too familiar to many gym and academy owners.

  • The Secret to Instagram Growth for Your Gym w/ Ground Game Theory
    Mar 24 2025

    Our heroes today are Carlmichael and Keeanoush, jiu jitsu black belts and founders of Ground Game Theory in Miami, FL. These two built their Instagram following from 0 to over 13,000 followers and leveraged it to help them open their gym. Most interesting to me is their ability to evolve the content they produce on their profile. What began as standard technique instructions has since morphed into an educational platform for a new and exciting way to train jiu jitsu. All this and more ahead.
