MEET BILLY.

Billy Polson, CSCS is a three time fitness entrepreneur, an international presenter, and a business performance coach for pioneering fitness business owners. Men's Journal magazine named Billy one of 'America's Best 100 Trainers'. He is a member of the Forbes Business Coaches Council, a member of the IDEA Health and Fitness Studio Owner's Advisory Committee, the founder of the San Francisco Independent Fitness Studio Coalition, and he has appeared in and contributed to numerous national publications including Fortune, Medium: The Startup, Inc, Kiplinger, Forbes, The Huffington Post, CBS Small Business Pulse, and Women's Health.

In 1998, making the decision that life was too short to spend his days behind a desk in a career that did not energize his passion for life, Billy pivoted away from his programmer job and ‘Corporate America’ work life to build a life in fitness and movement, with the goal of inspiring others to live their ultimate life.

With no entrepreneurial experience, other than a daily goal to achieve and the grit to ‘get the job done’, Billy used his lifelong experience in athletics and his exuberant connectivity with people to inspire incredible achievement with his clients and to quickly build his own independent personal training practice to capacity. In 2004, Billy founded DIAKADI Fitness Performance Life personal training facility, named the 'Top Gym and/or Trainers in San Francisco' for 18 years. DIAKADI currently houses the practices of over 50 of the Bay Area's leading practitioners from the fitness and health industries.

‘DIAKADI combines the Bay Area’s most advanced fitness education with a world class pro sports training facility and a 5-Star customer experience, creating the ULTIMATE fitness and health community for our clients and coaches.’

In 2015, determined to assist EVERY fitness business owner with building their most successful business and life, Billy helped to create The Business Movement, DIAKADI’s fitness entrepreneur education program. Since its origin, The Business Movement has helped hundreds of personal trainers and gym owners with gaining the skills and confidence to take the necessary steps towards building their dream fitness business visions, including: leaving their corporate training jobs, developing their own brands, growing their private practices, opening fitness facilities, and developing great financial success in their careers.

Billy honestly believes that no matter what your goals, BIG or small, if you do what you LOVE with an intelligent plan, gritty problem solving skills and a commitment to success, that ANYTHING is possible.
