Why Quick Cash Grabs Won’t Save Your Gym

Gym Business Coach Podcast ·

2026/02/17

All gym owners (and entrepreneurs in general) know that bills can’t wait for strategy. That’s why long-term thinking usually fades when expenses stack up faster than revenue. In those situations, decisions get rushed, patience disappears, and survival starts driving the business. That pressure is what makes shiny objects so tempting. A new offer shows up that looks like a way to grab twenty or thirty grand just to cover the bills, and gym owners convince themselves it’s the thing that fixes

The Great Gym Debate

Gym Business Coach Podcast ·

2026/02/12

All gym owners know exactly what type of training works. Just ask them how they train themselves. You’ll get almost the same answer every time: strength-based training with weights, progression, and structure.But when it comes to what they sell in their gyms, many still run large-group classes.It’s not because they believe in those classes more. They choose them because they’re easier to run. Large group feels simpler to staff, simpler to coach, and simpler to schedule.The problem is what that

The Unexpected Gym Strategy That Boosts Revenue by 38%

Gym Business Coach Podcast ·

2026/02/10

Many gym owners try to be good at everything: large-group training, small-group training, one-on-one, a little of this, a little of that... It feels safer to serve everyone and avoid turning anyone away.But that approach actually does the opposite. Spreading focus too thin caps revenue, burns out coaches, and locks retention in place. That’s exactly what Tim ran into inside his gym.In this episode, Tim and Zach share what they found when they set aside surface metrics and prioritized retention and

Peptides in Gyms: Revolutionary Trend or Dangerous...

Gym Business Coach Podcast ·

2026/02/05

Peptides are being pitched to gym owners as the next big revenue play. Right now, it feels like a no-brainer. Clients are asking. Gurus are pushing. And the message is simple: don’t overthink it.But no one talks about where this starts to get dangerous.The moment a gym chases peptides for profit, it risks taking on liability it doesn’t fully understand and abandoning what it was built to do: train people and create long-term change.Instead, that work gets replaced by the promise of faster outcomes,

Effective Sales Strategies for Gym

Gym Business Coach Podcast ·

2026/02/03

Gym owners usually say they have well-prepared sales strategies. Then they pull out slide decks, scripts, pricing menus, and perfectly organized offers.And almost all of it misses the most important part of the equation: the potential client.The person in front of you doesn’t need to be impressed by how great your gym is or how many services you sell. They need to know you understand them and that what you’re recommending actually solves their problem.That happens through conversation, not a fancy

Why Client Problems Evolve Over Time

Gym Business Coach Podcast ·

2026/01/29

Most gym owners think retention breaks when motivation drops, or life gets busy. That’s not actually what’s happening. The real issue is simpler, but harder to see: The client you’re coaching today isn’t the same person who signed up six months or a year ago.When someone joins, you’re solving a specific problem. Over time, that problem changes. Their body adapts. Their schedule shifts. What they need from your gym changes. If your systems don’t evolve with them, what you see on the surface looks

How Gym Owners Can Build a Profitable Business

Gym Business Coach Podcast ·

2026/01/27

Why do so many gym owners struggle to attract the right clients – despite being great at fitness?In this episode, Randy and Zach talk about one of the biggest disconnects in the fitness industry: most gym owners are trying to speak to an audience whose problems they’ve never personally experienced. While many successful businesses are built when someone solves their own problem and turns that “mess into a message,” most gyms are founded by lifelong athletes who never faced the same challenges as the

Are Client Check-Ins Needed?

Gym Business Coach Podcast ·

2026/01/22

Gym check-ins are framed as a tool to help clients stay on track. In reality, most gyms use them to put people on a scale and hope the numbers cooperate.But that’s where things break.Clients can be training consistently, feeling better, moving better, and finally seeing themselves as someone who works out. Then one scan tells them they failed at the one outcome they’ve been taught matters most: weight loss. That one moment is enough to undo everything you’ve been building.The problem isn’t

Is Facebook Marketing Worth It In 2026?

Gym Business Coach Podcast ·

2026/01/20

Facebook ads aren’t broken. The way most gyms rely on them is.For years, front-end ads were the growth engine: cheap leads and fast wins. You could be profitable at the point of sale and make your money back right away.But that version of Facebook is gone. Costs are up, lead quality is inconsistent, and judging success by what happens in the first 30 days is a fast way to shut your ads off for good.In this episode, Tim and Zach break down what the data actually says after reviewing their full 2025

You Deserve Way More

Gym Business Coach Podcast ·

2026/01/15

If your gym keeps hovering around $20,000 a month no matter how hard you work, chances are you’re operating under the wrong business model.Most gyms are built on large group training, and the industry data are very clear:The average gym brings in just under $19,000 a month, and the majority never move far from that number. Large group gyms grow by adding members, adding classes, and adding coaching hours, along with the complexity that comes with it.But there is a better way.In this episode, Tim and

When A Member Cancels

Gym Business Coach Podcast ·

2026/01/13

Members leave gyms all the time. That’s part of the business, and it never feels good. But the real problem is how most gym owners react when it happens. Those reactions often create bigger issues than the cancellation itself.What separates good gyms from great ones is how people are treated on the way out.When a member leaves, they don’t vanish. They talk. They share their experience. And that story travels faster than any referral campaign you’ll ever run. You just don’t want that story to be

How Your Marketing Agency Is Killing Your Business

Gym Business Coach Podcast ·

2026/01/08

“Give us 90 days, and we’ll flood your gym with clients.” At some point, every gym owner hears this marketing agency promise. And when revenue feels tight, that offer is hard to ignore. But what looks like growth usually ends up in chaos.Agencies usually push short-term, high-promise offers (like six-week challenges or quick weight loss promises) that are designed to sell a result, not a membership. So even when you get new clients in the door, they join to finish the program, and when it ends, they

The Workshop That Will Change Everything

Wouldn’t it be great if gym owners could actually see how a business works instead of guessing their way to revenue? That’s exactly why this episode exists.Tim and Randy invite 15 gym owners into the Million Dollar Model Workshop, something that almost never happens in this industry. They open the doors to a real, operating gym and show exactly how it runs, from the backend systems and revenue model to the staff structure that supports it all.Participants will also get clear insight into how those

Why Your Coaches Don't Care (And How To Fix It)

Are you one of those gym owners who keep replacing coaches, retraining new ones, and still end up dealing with the same problems six months later?When coaches are part-time, bouncing between jobs, and only expected to show up for an hour at a time, it’s unrealistic to expect long-term commitment. They’re not around long enough to build ownership, there’s no consistency, and no reason for them to care beyond today’s shift.In this episode, Randy and Zach break down what actually creates real

Impact vs. Income

Gym Business Coach Podcast ·

2025/12/30

Gym owners aren’t afraid of hard work. They’re afraid everything falls apart the moment they step back.So they coach every session, fill every gap, and carry the entire business on their back, all while telling themselves it’s “for the clients.” Meanwhile, their time, energy, and family life slowly disappear.In this episode, Randy and Zach break down the false belief that impact and income are opposites.They explain why staying trapped as the sole service provider actually limits how many people you

Your 2026 Marketing Playbook

2025/12/25

For many gym owners, the only marketing strategy is Facebook ads. When numbers start falling, and they need more leads, their default move is: run another ad, spend a little money, and hope for the best. In this episode, Tim and Zach explain exactly why that approach keeps failing and what has to replace it if growth is going to be predictable again.They talk about how to stop reacting to bad months and start running a plan that works all year.They also share:why marketing can never be turned offhow

The January Gold Rush

January feels like a goldrush for gym owners.It looks like momentum, with leads pouring in, calendars filling up, and sign-ups spiking.But underneath it, something else is happening: just as many members are leaving out the back door.And your gym is not alone here. This is typical across the industry.In January, clients reassess everything: their finances, priorities, and their results from last year. And when fitness has been framed as a short-term result instead of a long-term identity, it becomes
