What if the biggest threat to your gym isn’t the competition down the street… but the agency you hired to help you grow?
In this episode, Randy and Zach uncover a harsh reality many gym owners are living without knowing it: by relying too heavily on marketing agencies to drive new leads, you may be slowly giving up control of your business.
They reveal how agency-driven six-week challenges and front-end promos offer a quick dopamine hit – fast cash, big crowds – but often result in burnout, poor retention, and a business that no longer reflects your vision.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
You’ll learn how to build a marketing and delivery system that supports long-term success, attracts the right kind of clients, and keeps you in the driver’s seat – even if you still choose to work with an agency.
If you’re tired of short-term wins and want to grow a real gym, not just run the next promotion, this episode is for you.
Let’s break the vicious cycle - tune in!
