A lot of gym owners reach a point where the business is running smoothly – team's in place, sessions are full, money’s good, systems are working – but the fire’s not there anymore.The energy that used to come from walking into the gym starts to fade.

Most gyms run hard on energy – high fives, loud music, fast transitions. The experience feels great, and clients walk out tired and happy. But when the workouts aren’t backed by a system, the cracks eventually start to show.Random programming might look exciting, but it isn’t scalable, coachable, or repeatable. Without a framework, coaches deliver inconsistently. Clients hit plateaus without knowing why. And when results stall, it’s easy for them to believe they can get the same workout anywhere

Most gym owners would never hand over the keys to their business… but they’ll hand over their programming without a second thought.It happens all the time – coaches making up workouts on the fly, tweaking things based on how they feel that day. Before long, they’re the ones controlling the delivery of the most important thing the gym offers. Meanwhile, a lot of gym owners don’t even realize it’s going on.In this episode, Tim and Randy break down why letting coaches take the reins on programming is

A lot of gym owners are grinding day in and day out – but if you ask them why they’re doing it, most don’t have a clear answer.They’re running sessions, managing staff, staying late – doing all the things they think they’re supposed to do.

The Fallacy of High Ticket

What if the offer that promises to save your gym… ends up quietly destroying it from the inside out?High-ticket programs can seem like a dream – sell a few big packages, bring in thousands of dollars fast, and feel like you’ve finally cracked the code.

If your gym’s offer menu looks like a Cheesecake Factory menu… you’ve got a problem. Too many options might feel helpful — but they often confuse your clients and stall your sales.In fact, the most profitable gyms don’t offer more — they offer less. And it’s not by accident.

How Much Will Your Clients Pay

2025/05/13

Many gym owners believe they can’t raise prices because their clients “won’t pay that much.” But more often than not, it’s not the price that’s the problem – it’s that clients don’t fully understand the value behind what they’re paying for.Most gyms put their focus on delivering great workouts, which is important. But that often means the deeper elements, like thoughtful program design, strategic progressions, and expert coaching, go unnoticed by the client. If they don’t know those things are

“People won’t pay that much for training…” It’s one of the most common things gym owners say – and one of the biggest misconceptions in the business.The truth here is that price usually isn’t the issue.
