Ashley Lyn Olson created the website Wheel Chair Traveling in 2006 to empower people with limited mobility, their friends, and loved ones to access and experience the world of accessible leisure and adventure travel. 

After graduating USC with honors, she built and designed the website as the go-to guide for wheelchair travel tips, tricks, and advice. Her goal is for the wheelchair-bound to be able to travel knowing what to expect, how to prepare, and even adapt, so they can make the most out of the experience.

I am taking one gym apart in public. Free.

One Long Island fitness business. Twelve weeks, filmed and published. The full Teardown, plus my CFO, CMO and COO inside your business. That is the $2,500 program and the person I pick does not pay for it. What you pay with is exposure. Nassau or Suffolk, at least $750,000 collected in the last twelve months, willing to hear the hard truth. Applications close September 15. One winner. It starts October 1.

Apply for The First Teardown

You hit a million. What did you pay yourself?

I work with gym owners past a million on owner take home, not revenue. It starts with The Teardown: a six page written verdict on your numbers, $2,500, delivered in ten business days. Not sure yet? Score your gym first. Twelve numbers, two minutes, no email.
