Pete Mogan is the co-owner of The Rep Room, an amazing Personal and Group Training Gym in London, Ontario. Pete owns the business with his wife, Jessica Bickell.

The name The Rep Room London came into existence in November of 2017. Prior to that, Jessie had operated under the name Jessie Bicks Fitness, but felt The Rep Room name had a broader appeal.

In March of 2020, just prior to lockdowns caused by the pandemic, Pete chose to join Jessie full time to help her manage and grow The Rep Room.

Much like Jessie, Pete had been quite active most of his life. Playing University football for the Western Mustangs and competing in body building and powerlifting. His personal experience coupled with his professional experience in health care and orthopedic surgery provided him with a depth of knowledge that help the members of The Rep Room continue to progress to their goals.

Pete talks to The Hustle & Grind pod about how important culture is in a business, and the importance of having a ‘level mindset’ navigating the highs and lows of owning a business. As well we discuss what it’s like to have a spouse as a business partner and balancing business demands with the demands of family.
