ABOUT FLATLINE STRATEGY
Built at the Intersection of Research, Performance, and Business.
Flatline Strategy solves complex problems by blending scientific evidence with deep industry experience and objective strategic thinking.
Why Flatline Strategy Exists
Academic expertise and business operations often exist in isolation. Flatline Strategy bridges this gap, built on the principle that effective decisions require both credible data and a practical understanding of how organizations actually function.
From research design to business growth, our goal is consistent: to develop clearer thinking, more efficient systems, and measurable outcomes.
About the Founder
Dr. Garrett Augsburger is the founder of Flatline Strategy and a consultant who works at the intersection of research and fitness. He holds a doctorate of Health and Exercise Science and has over a decade of experience in both academic research and fitness business operations.
This dual background in academia and operations allows him to help research teams design rigorous studies and communicate findings clearly, while also helping fitness businesses build sustainable, evidence-based systems that actually work in the real world.
“Good ideas matter. Making them work matters more.”
