Ripped Open
by Karina Ripps
The mission of Ripped Open is to rip open the conversations no one else is having — around training, coaching, business, leadership, and identity.This show is for the ones already doing the work — the athletes chasing something bigger than miles, the coaches tired of blending in, the high-performers who know they’re built for greatness.Each episode will leave you feeling fired up, called out (in the best way), and grounded in what really matters — not just how fast you move, but how boldly you lead.Let’s go deeper. Let’s get stronger. Let’s lead louder — together.

The Business Model That Let Me Travel More and Make More
Last quarter was my best quarter ever in business.Not my best quarter, where I was locked in, grinding, nose to the grindstone, sacrificing everything.My best quarter where I was traveling more than I ever have. Training. Living my actual life.And I used to think that was impossible. I genuinely believed that more money meant more work. I built an entire business on that belief for years. And it almost broke me.In this episode, I'm breaking down what actually changed:Why a full roster of 1:1 clients is the worst way to growThe shift from flat roster to tiered model (and what that actually means)How my income stopped being dependent on how many hours I workedWhat happens when you build a model that works whether you're on a plane or notIf you're a fitness coach working your butt off right now and still not hitting the numbers you want…this episode is for you!⬇️ CONNECT WITH KARINA:JOIN THE FREE MONTHLY MONEY SPRINT: https://www.karinaripps.com/offers/hX2qfsvzInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ripps_ontherun/Work With Karina: https://linktr.ee/ripps_ontherun

How Former Athletes Actually Build an Athletic Body Again (ft. Kendra Lahue)
In this episode, I’m joined by Kendra Lahue - a strength & nutrition coach for former athletes rebuilding their body, strength, and confidence.As a former college athlete herself, we dive into the phase of life that no one prepares you for when you’re in your adult life.Your sport ends, the structure disappears, and suddenly:-you’re training hard…but not seeing it-you don’t feel like yourself in your body-and nothing is really *CLICKING* the way it used toThis conversation goes way deeper than workouts.We get into:-why so many former athletes feel off after sports (even years later)-the all-in / all-out cycle with training and nutrition-why “just working out” doesn’t fix the problem-and what it actually looks like to rebuild an athletic body in this phase of lifeIf you’ve ever thought: “I don’t feel like myself anymore” or “I know how to work hard…so why isn’t this working?” This episode is going to hit!⬇️ CONNECT WITH KARINA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ripps_ontherun/Work With Karina: https://linktr.ee/ripps_ontherun

What to Do When You Hate Creating Content
You do not have to love content to grow your business.In this episode, I'm talking to the coach who dreads posting, overthinks every caption, and feels like content has become this giant emotional event every single week.We get into why you probably don't actually hate content...you hate the way you're trying to do it...and the exact shifts that make it easier, lighter, and way more strategic.We're covering:Why content is a business function, not a creative outlet (and why that reframe changes everything)The 3 reasons you actually hate creating content (spoiler: it's not because you're lazy)How to stop starting from a blank screen every time you need to postThe 6-step system that makes content suck way lessWhy repetition builds trust faster than trying to be original every timeIf content has been feeling heavier than it needs to, this one's for you!⬇️ CONNECT WITH KARINA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ripps_ontherun/Work With Karina: https://linktr.ee/ripps_ontherun

How 5% Better Retention Can Increase Your Profits by 100%
How much time did you spend this week thinking about KEEPING the clients you already have? Probably not much...Most coaching businesses are built entirely around acquisition, aka - getting new clients in the door. That's what everyone teaches.But almost no one is building their business around retention.According to research, increasing your retention by just 5% can increase your profits by 25–100%.WILD!!!That means the difference between a struggling coaching business and a thriving one isn't your marketing. It's how long your clients stay.In this episode, I'm breaking down:The math most coaches never do (lifetime value example that'll blow your mind)Why clients actually leave youWhat high-retention coaching businesses do differentlyWhere to improve your retention by just 5% and watch your business transformIf you're tired of the revenue rollercoaster and constantly replacing clients every few months, this episode will change how you think about your business!⬇️ CONNECT WITH KARINA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ripps_ontherun/Work With Karina: https://linktr.ee/ripps_ontherun

She Built a Women’s Gym in a Barn (ft. MacKenzie Orzechowski)
What does it *actually* take to build a gym from the ground up?In this episode of Ripped Open, I’m joined by MacKenzie Orzechowski (@builtbarnstrong), founder of Champion Athletics + Fitness, a women-only strength training community run out of a 100+ year-old barn in Connecticut.But this conversation goes way beyond workouts.MacKenzie shares the story of how BUILD45 came to life, why creating a safe space for women to train was so important to her, and what she’s learned along the way about leadership, resilience, and believing in your vision even when things get hard.And for the women who aren’t local to the Barn, MacKenzie also shares how she brings that same coaching philosophy online through her FIT4LIFE coaching program, helping women with their strength, nutrition, and confidence no matter where they live.If you’ve ever thought about building something of your own or you’re looking for a supportive place to get stronger...this conversation will hit home!⬇️ CONNECT WITH KARINA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ripps_ontherun/Work With Karina: https://linktr.ee/ripps_ontherun

Top 10 Client Experience Trends Every Health + Fitness Coach Needs to Grow in 2026
The health + fitness coaching industry is changing...and if you're still thinking client retention is about having perfect programming, you're going to feel it in 2026.In this episode, I'm breaking down the client experience trends that will actually move the needle for coaches who want to build businesses that compound (not ones that constantly need new clients to survive).We're talking about:why experience is now your primary differentiator (not programming or certifications)how to optimize the first 48 hours after someone pays (this determines if they stay 3 months or 3 years)the difference between emotional check-ins and physical check-inswhy systemizing loyalty beats random acts of appreciationhow to help clients adopt a new identity (so leaving feels like regression)the shift from asking for referrals to building an experience worth talking aboutIf you're a coach who wants clients who stay for years AND refer everyone they know in 2026, start here!⬇️ CONNECT WITH KARINA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ripps_ontherun/Work With Karina: https://linktr.ee/ripps_ontherun

Why Good Programming Isn't Enough to Keep Your Clients
What if I told you that your clients aren't leaving because of your programming?Most fitness coaches have solid programming. You know your sh*t. You can write a good plan. You can get people results.But you're so focused on the workouts, the nutrition, the numbers…that you're completely missing the emotional experience of being your client.And that emotional journey is EXACTLY what determines whether they stay for 3 months or 3 years!In this episode, I'm breaking down:Why the emotional journey matters more than perfect programmingHow small moments compound into loyalty (or churn)Practical examples of moments that make clients feel seen and valuedWhat to focus on instead of obsessing over your periodizationYour programming is probably fine. It's time to focus on the experience!⬇️ CONNECT WITH KARINA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ripps_ontherun/Work With Karina: https://linktr.ee/ripps_ontherun

How to Turn Your Best Clients Into Raving Fans Who Refer Everyone
What if your best clients became your biggest source of referrals?What if they upgraded to higher-tier packages without you even asking?What if they stayed with you for years (not just months) and talked about you to everyone they know?This is what happens when you stop treating all your clients the same and start rewarding loyalty.In this episode, I'm showing you exactly how to do that:Why your long-term clients are your most valuable asset (and why you're ignoring them)How to create exclusive experiences that make clients feel special5 specific ways to reward loyalty and turn clients into raving fansYour best clients deserve more than the same treatment as everyone else.

How to Create a Client Experience That Keeps Them Renewing for Years
For years, I was obsessed with getting new clients. I thought that was the game…get more people in the door, make more money.But my revenue was a rollercoaster. One month I'd hit 10K, the next month I'd drop to 4K. The moment I shifted from chasing new leads to obsessing over client experience, everything changed.My monthly income doubled, my stress dropped, my clients started staying for 12+ months instead of just 3 months. And they became my biggest source of referrals!In this episode, I'm breaking down:The client who left after 3 months vs. the client who's been with me for 2+ years (and what made the difference)What most fitness coaches get completely wrong about client experience Why the first 48 hours of a client's experience determines whether they'll renew or leaveThe mindset shift from "How do I get more clients?" to "How do I make this so good they never leave?"If you're tired of the hamster wheel of constantly replacing clients, launching every month, and hustling just to maintain the same revenue…this episode will show you a better way.⬇️ CONNECT WITH KARINA:FREE CHALLENGE - MONTHLY MONEY SPRINT: https://www.karinaripps.com/offers/hX2qfsvz/checkout Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ripps_ontherun/Work With Karina: https://linktr.ee/ripps_ontherun

Why Some Coaches Blow Up Fast (And You're Still Stuck)
Why do some people launch their business and hit $10K months in a year, while others are still scraping by after years of hustling?After watching hundreds of entrepreneurs (and going through my own messy journey), I've identified six patterns that separate the people who get fast results from those who stay stuck.In this episode, we're ripping open:Why following the "right" plan isn't a guarantee of fast results (and the 70/30 rule that actually matters)How clear messaging and a simple offer can literally shorten your sales cycleWhy most people only implement 70% of what their coach tells them…and what's really holding them backHow your season of life impacts your pace (and why comparing yourself to others is setting you up for frustration)The unseen difference between people who bounce back in hours vs. those who spiral for weeksWhy belief and courage as "fear in motion" are the ultimate acceleratorsThis is about being willing to look at where YOU'RE the bottleneck…and doing something about it.If you've ever wondered "why not me yet?”, this episode is for you.⬇️ CONNECT WITH KARINA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ripps_ontherun/Work With Karina: https://linktr.ee/ripps_ontherun

From Run Coach to Bestie (ft. Toni Kengor)
What happens when your run coach becomes your Bravo-watching, voice-note-sending, go-to girl for both life and training?In this episode, I’m joined by my former run coach turned real-life bestie, Toni Kengor (https://linktr.ee/Tonikengor) — co-founder of Relentless Runners and the woman who trained me through two marathons, carried me through off-seasons (mentally and physically), and still cheers me on even though I’ve fully pivoted to HYROX.We talk about:– How we approach training for big race goals (both from a runner and programming perspective)– How we both navigate mindset blocks, burnout, and going after PRs– The moment our coach-client relationship turned into a full-blown friendship– And of course... our Bravo + Love Island takes, and our shared obsession with Giggly SquadThis one’s for the girlies who love training hard, laughing harder, and voice-noting their best friend!⬇️ CONNECT WITH KARINA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ripps_ontherun/Work With Karina: https://msha.ke/rippsontherunJoin the Free Run Coach Insiders List: https://www.karinaripps.com/run-coach-insiders-list
