Gym Business Coach Podcast ·

2024/04/25

Every gym owner wants their clients to be loyal to the gym, not just to the coaches. Yet, it's common for clients to follow a coach when they leave.To prevent this, gym owners should standardize a high-quality program that every coach can deliver.

It's tough to be just another fish in the sea. And if you're running a large group training gym, that's exactly your business's position.Although large group sessions have their charm, they're not the golden ticket to business growth or client satisfaction they once were.

Solve A Problem, Don’t Sell The Product

2024/03/12

Why do some gyms thrive while others struggle, even when they all offer pretty much the same thing? The secret isn't in the equipment or even in the types of classes offered; it's not about what they're selling, but how they're selling it.Many gym owners get caught up in listing amenities, such as the weight of their dumbbells or their state-of-the-art facilities.

Adding random classes at 8 AM or 9 PM because a couple of clients said they could make it, only for them to drop out later — sounds familiar, right? This is just one example of how gym owners try to please everyone but end up creating a schedule that's hard to follow. Another issue arises when offering sessions that never expire.
