Nick Ovenden: Helping People Perform Their Best, In and Out of the Gym

What happens when you take a personal trainer with a deep love for movement and hand him the reins to a rapidly growing golf and fitness brand? You get Nick Ovenden—an operations leader who’s just as comfortable helping clients do sandbag workouts as he is guiding a company through an ESOP transition.

In this episode, Nick shares his journey from personal trainer to operations leader at Great Life, a unique fitness and lifestyle brand with over 24 locations across South Dakota and Minnesota. He talks about his passion for building teams, helping people live healthier lives, and making fitness fun and accessible—whether through functional gym spaces, creative childcare programs, or family-friendly golf experiences.
