Summary
Nick and Chris discuss the different types of competitions they run at their gyms and the reasons behind them. They talk about the importance of having something to train for and how it keeps members motivated. They also highlight the benefits of testing oneself and the sense of accomplishment that comes with it. Additionally, they discuss the community-building aspect of competitions and the shared experiences that create lasting memories. Competitions can create a sense of camaraderie and shared experiences among participants. They can also help raise awareness and market a gym to potential new members. However, it's important to create a fun and inclusive atmosphere, rather than focusing solely on intense competition. Niche and themed competitions can attract a specific audience and generate more participation. Running a competition can be costly, especially if renting a venue or hiring professional services. It's crucial to consider the financial implications and unpaid man hours involved. Decentralizing competitions and partnering with other companies can be a smart strategy to reduce costs and leverage existing resources.
