They didn’t just build a gym, they built a movement. Doug and Thea Wood are the powerhouse couple behind The Hive, Scottsdale’s most talked-about gym and a hub for high-performing entrepreneurs. But that’s just the surface. In this episode of Behind Gym Doors, Doug and Thea share how they turned personal transformation into global impact, building a $6M gym, launching an international online school, and funding orphanages around the world… all while being unapologetically bold about their faith, brand, and message.

We dive deep into building niche communities, creating content that actually converts, and why most gym owners play too small. If you’re afraid of standing out, raising prices, or showing up authentically, this episode is your wake-up call.
