Built To Grow Fitness BusinessBe Careful What You Hook Your Wagon ToIt’s easy to get caught up in the next shiny thing in fitness.The industry is full of flashy new tools – TRX, EMF suits, battle ropes, vibration plates – you name it. And every few years, a new wave promises faster results, easier marketing, or a shortcut to success. And yeah, these things can be fun, and they might even work – for a while. But when gym owners build their entire identity around one of these trends, it can put the entire business on shaky ground.In this episode, Tim and Randy talk about why...
2025-07-0812 minBuilt To Grow Fitness BusinessFirst Class MindsetSuccess doesn’t start with money – it starts with what you believe you deserve.When Tim made the choice to stop flying coach and commit to first class, it wasn’t about legroom or perks. It was about drawing a line in the sand. A personal standard. A way of saying, this is where I belong – and I’ll work to stay here.In this episode, Tim and Randy unpack what it means to adopt a “first-class mindset,” and why it has less to do with money and everything to do with identity. They explore ho...
2025-07-0322 minBuilt To Grow Fitness BusinessThe Secret to Charging More - Elevate Your Gym Experience Today“It’s just group training with fewer people…”That’s where the wheels fall off for a lot of gym owners.They hear “semi-private” and think it’s just a slightly smaller group doing the same workouts, maybe with a different coach-to-client ratio. But that mindset completely misses the mark – and it’s probably why they’re struggling to charge more.In fact, clients aren’t paying for fewer bodies in the room. They’re paying for individualization. For real coaching. For a premium experience that feels tailored, not templated. And when you treat semi-private like ju...

And in the fitness industry, that line gets crossed way too often.In this episode, Tim and Randy call out the rise of shady sales tactics – fake contests, fake scarcity, and scripted urgency plays. Most of the time, these moves come from a place of desperation, not strategy. Business owners backed into a corner start crossing lines they normally wouldn’t, assuming their prospects won’t notice or care.And sure, some of this BS “works.” But at what cost?These shortcuts don...

Years of handling cancellations, complaints, and the noise from a handful of clients who make everything harder than it needs to be… can wear anyone down. Over time, it’s easy to forget how great the majority of members really are. That’s when things start to feel heavy.Th...
2025-06-2419 minBuilt To Grow Fitness BusinessMore Than 3 Reasons Why Your Program Needs To Have A PlanMost 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 (often for less).This episode lays out exactly why structured programming is essent...

Whether it’s old-school bootcamps or prices you haven’t raised in years, refusing to change slowly chokes your growth.Simply put: what worked in 2010 won’t carry you through 2025.Everything is evolving – your clients, the market, even how people perceive value. And if you’re not making changes, you’re falling behi...

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 one of the biggest mist...
2025-06-1219 minBuilt To Grow Fitness BusinessWhat Are You Doing This All ForA 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. But without a strong sense of purpose behind it, the work starts to feel heavy. Like you're spinning your wheels with no real direction.That exact question came up during the last Iron Circle event: What are you doing this all for?For some, it’s about changi...

On paper, things looked fine. But behind the scenes, they were burnt out and stretched thin trying to keep up with a business that was too big, too messy, and too dependent on them.In this episode, Tim and Randy sit down with the Montgomerys to unpack their decision to completely flip their model – from large-group chaos to a...

The team’s busy, the ads are running, but nothing seems to stick.In this episode, Tim and Randy sit down with Joey Coleman, bestselling author of ‘Never Lose a Customer Again’, to talk about the one thing that’s missing in most gyms: a real retention strategy. Joey explains why selling someone into your gym is only step one – and why the handoff to your team can make or...

But in reality, they often come with way more work than expected.Delivering those offers often means taking on a bunch of extra work: detailed nutrition plans, one-on-one coaching calls, sometimes even going to clients’ homes or walking them through grocery store trips. That’s a full-time job on its...

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. They’ve found that a simpler, more focused approach makes it easier for clients to say yes — and easier for the business to deliver consistently.In this episode, Tim and Randy break down the three essential offers every fitness business should have — and why most owners are...

But what if that mindset is keeping you stuck?In this episode, Tim and Randy break down the flawed obsession with lead count and explain why it’s not the number of clients you should be chasing. Instead, they introduce a KPI that most gym owners have never heard of – but absolutely should be tracking: The Delta.The Delta measures the net growth (or loss) of your recurring revenue every single month. It’s the difference between building a business that c...

It’s how the value is perceived. And dropping your rates to stay competitive almost always leads to the same outcome: a race to the bottom.In this episode, Tim and Randy break down the pricing trap so many gyms fall into – and why offering the same type of training with the same messaging as everyone else le...

Maybe it’s the model.In this episode, Tim and Randy take a hard look at the CrossFit business structure and ask the uncomfortable question too many gym owners avoid: Is this model even built to succeed long-term?(Spoiler: It’s not.)It’s not a lack of business skills causing CrossFit gyms to close. It’s the model – everyone’s offering the same thing at the same price, which makes it nearly impossible to stand out or make real money.

One gym was generating $500,000 a month, while the other barely made $200,000. Same headcount, completely different results – why is that?A CrossFit gym owner jumped in, did the math, and lost it. He said, “That’s retarded.” Because to him, $417 per member per month sounded astronomical – like there’s just no way a gym could ever charge that.Well… he was speaking from his own experience.That reaction sparked a bigger conversatio...

No one ever regrets making the transition. The only thing they wish is that they had done it sooner.It's easy to see why. Large group training feels comfortable. It’s familiar. It brings people in the door. But it also brings constant churn, price-sensitive clients, and endless headaches.Semi-private training, on the other hand, attracts committed clients who pay more, stay longer, and actually value coaching. Instead of chasing 500 clie...

The issue is spending on the wrong things. You’ll see gym owners drop thousands on new equipment that doesn’t bring in a single extra client.

But in reality, packing your gym with new members won’t matter if they don’t stay.Yes, gyms with packed classes and buzzing energy seem successful from the outside. But behind the scenes, most of them are constantly replacing members who drop off after a few months.It’s because large group training gyms attract customers who bounce between multiple memberships. They usually chase novelty more than results, which means they’ll join your gym for a bit, but the moment the...

Every gym owner swears their method is the best, but to the consumer, it all sounds the same. And when everything sounds the same, the only thing left to compare is the price.That’s a losing game… at least for gym owners.When consumers can’t tell the difference between you and the gym down the street, they pick the cheaper option. And that’s exactly why so many gym owners struggle to charge what they’re worth.The most suc...

However, there are gym owners who struggle to charge premium prices for it.Usually, they assume it’s just a smaller version of group training, so they price it too low. At the same time, they hope clients will see the difference and the value of their program.But something else happens...Clients see their semi-private training as just another class. So, naturally, they start comparing it to cheaper options – big-box gym classes, boot camps, or even free...

Have you ever asked yourself this question seriously?Many gym owners would say they’re selling personal training, top-tier facilities, or a strong brand… Yes, those might seem like the right answers, but are they what keep clients coming back? Nope. Your real product is actually your training program and delivery system.You can tweak your marketing and stress over sales all day long, but if your programming isn’t structured and systematized, you're setting yourself up for failure.For example, many gyms don’t realize they’re letting th...

But that’s only somewhat true because if you’re attracting the wrong people, your retention will suffer – no matter how great your service is.In this episode, Tim and Randy talk about the trap of marketing strategies that focus on short-term results. They explain why challenge-based ads and “get-fit-quick” hooks might flood your gym with leads, but you’ll end up with a revolving door...

But not everyone can afford it.Most gyms solve this by offering small group training – one coach, multiple clients, the same workout. Easy, isn’t it? But, although this might look good on paper, when clients realize they’re following the same routine as everyone else, the value of the offer starts to fade. It’s in human nature (or ego if you will) to want something tailored specifically for you. Gym clients are no different – they don’t like generic workouts.That’s why Tim turned...

Others fight tooth and nail every month just to keep the lights on.Why is that? What makes the difference?No, it's not the market, the location, or even the trainers.It's the business model.Large group training might seem like a good choice – low overhead, easy scalability – but in reality, you have a room full of clients who leave faster than you can replace them. On the other hand, one-on-one training is premium-priced, but it locks you into...

They break down how scarcity mindsets, insecurities, and self-reflection fuel this behavior. Tim even shares a personal story about losing long-time clients when his gym expanded – not because of poor service, but because of his growth.But success...

2024-12-311h 04Built To Grow Fitness BusinessPlugging The LeaksIt’s often tempting for gym owners to think more leads are the answer to all their problems. But here’s the thing: bringing in new clients without fixing retention is like trying to fill a bucket with a hole in it. No matter how many you add, they’ll keep slipping away.In this episode, Tim and Randy explain why focusing on retention, systems, and client experience is the true key to sustainable growth. They break down the common mistakes gym owners make – like relying on short-term challenges or neglecting existing members – and explain how to address th...
2024-12-2624 minBuilt To Grow Fitness BusinessThe ROI Of RiskWhen gym owners first step into entrepreneurship, signing a lease, putting down guarantees, and starting a business, it feels monumental. It’s the ultimate risk – leaving the comfort of certainty for the chance at something greater.But somewhere along the way, many stop taking those risks. They start playing it safe, treating essential investments in marketing, coaching, or systems as expenses instead of opportunities for growth.Tim and Randy break down why this happens: fear of failure, uncertainty, or simply not knowing the numbers that make confident decisions possible. Gym owners often default to sp...
2024-12-2422 minBuilt To Grow Fitness BusinessMathew Becker Gym LawyersLegal issues can be one of the costliest mistakes gym owners make – and it often comes down to not being prepared. Whether it’s liability waivers, insurance policies, or state-specific health club regulations, waiting too long to address these essentials can create serious problems. A single oversight – like missing a compliance deadline or having an incomplete membership agreement – can lead to lawsuits, chargebacks, or financial troubles.In this episode, Tim and Randy sit down with Mathew Becker, founder of Gym Lawyers, to discuss how proactive legal preparation can save gym owners from these all-too-common disasters. Mathe...
2024-12-191h 04Built To Grow Fitness BusinessBuffet VS Fine DiningBuffet gyms promise it all – classes, recovery lounges, personal training, and more. But offering everything to everyone often means excelling at nothing. It’s a recipe for a business bogged down by overhead and mediocrity, attracting clients who treat your gym like an all-you-can-eat deal instead of valuing quality.Tim and Randy make the case for a better approach: running your gym like a fine-dining restaurant. By focusing on fewer high-quality services and creating an intentional experience, you can attract premium clients who are willing to pay for the best. Just like a Michel...
2024-12-1725 minBuilt To Grow Fitness BusinessWalmart+ And Target Circle MembershipsImagine this: your gym’s bills are paid before the month even starts. No last-minute sales pushes, no desperate offers – just steady, predictable income that keeps growing. That’s the power of recurring revenue.Here’s the thing. Too many gym owners are chasing short-term wins with paid-in-full deals or flashy challenges. Sure, a big upfront payment feels great, but what happens when those clients vanish after a few months? Walmart didn’t build Walmart Plus memberships for one-time shoppers, and your gym can’t build a future on them either.When you focus on recu...
2024-12-1221 minBuilt To Grow Fitness BusinessThis Is Your ProductGym owners are often frustrated by a constant flow of members coming and going. They usually try new marketing strategies, flashy promotions, and revamping their offerings, yet retention rates remain stuck.That’s because retention isn’t just about attracting people - it’s about what happens after they walk through the door.At some point, you have to stop focusing on how to get members in and start thinking about why they leave. In many cases, it comes down to one word: consistency. If your gym experience changes day to day – different music, inconsistent coaching...
2024-12-0328 minBuilt To Grow Fitness BusinessThe Trump EffectFor months leading up to the election, gym owners across the country were struggling. Facebook ad costs had skyrocketed, leads disappeared, and consumer spending froze. No matter how much they tested or tweaked their strategies, the results just weren’t there.Then, something remarkable happened. The day after the election, everything changed. Ad performance improved, leads started pouring in, and the optimism in the air was almost tangible. For many businesses, it felt like a light switch had been flipped.This wasn’t just a coincidence – it’s what Tim and Randy are calling "The Trump Ef...
2024-11-2820 minBuilt To Grow Fitness BusinessFastest Way To Get Your Coaches Up To SpeedCoach turnover is the gym owner’s worst nightmare. A coach leaves, and suddenly, clients are walking out, too. It’s a disruption that hits both your bottom line and your gym’s morale.Most gym owners try to “fix” the problem by hiring experienced candidates. However, it often becomes frustrating because the candidate pool is so limited.As a result, gym owners usually lower their standards and hire people who either lack the right skills or aren’t a good cultural fit, just to fill the gap. This can lead to poor performance or even toxic d...
2024-11-2628 minBuilt To Grow Fitness BusinessRelationship Proofing Your PolicyMany gym owners are struggling to enforce their policies without losing trust. They’ve followed the usual playbook – written clear contracts, outlined cancellation terms, and even added flexibility – yet they still find themselves dealing with upset clients.When clients face policies they don’t agree with, they often take it personally, seeing enforcement as a breach of trust rather than a standard business practice. Instead of discussing their concerns, they may react emotionally – canceling credit cards, threatening legal action, or leaving negative reviews – undoing years of goodwill in a matter of moments.The truth is, enforcing po...

It’s not enough to quietly add it to the price sheet or mention it in passing...

But building your gym with future value in mind – starting with a solid foundation – can attract buyers or ensure a smooth handover when you’re ready to step away. In this episode, Tim and Randy break down why your gym needs systems that allow it to run without you, create predictable income, a...
2024-11-1425 minBuilt To Grow Fitness BusinessMaximize Your Content GameYou’ve heard it before – content is king. But the real power is in repurposing it so that one piece of content works across multiple channels, keeping your audience engaged without constantly creating new material.In this episode, Tim and Randy unpack exactly how gym owners can take one idea and create multiple pieces of content that work for you everywhere – from social media to blogs, emails, and beyond. For example, you can turn one blog post into a video, a quick social post, and even an email without coming up with something new every time. Imagi...

And not just owners from a specific region but from all parts of the USA.Ad costs have gone up around 20%, while lead quality has dropped. Even those leads who show interest are more likely to ghost. You can't help wondering if these leads are genuine or just bot-generated to inflate numbers, making you feel like you’re just throwing money into the Facebook ad machine.In this episode, Tim and Randy dive into what’s behind these...

It’s a win-win – teams get a boost in their fundraising efforts, and your gym brings in clients who already feel invested.Families support their kids’ teams while also gaining a month of training at your gym. And because they’ve paid for the...

But let’s be real – throwing out a big discount isn’t the smartest move. It can actually hurt your business down the line by devaluing your services and lowering your recurring income.In this episode, Tim and Randy share how to make Black Friday work for you, not against you. They walk through a simple “good-better-best” pricing strategy that adds extra value instead of just cutting prices. You’ll learn how to create pack...

These three elements form the essential pillars of a successful gym.In this episode, Tim and Randy explain the "three-legged stool" approach. Just like a three-legged stool stands firm on any surface, systems, automation, and lead generation work together to stabilize your busi...

Now, they dive deeper into how EQ affects every aspect of the business.In this episode, Lindsay explains:How to...
2024-10-2230 minBuilt To Grow Fitness BusinessSoft Skills Have Hard Cost w/ Lindsay Vastola (Part 1)We usually hire for IQ but end up firing because of a lack of EQ. This is something we rarely think about, but it's true. Many gym owners focus only on the technical skills of their staff when hiring and often overlook the emotional intelligence needed to ensure the day-to-day activities in the gym run smoothly. But what happens when your coaches can't connect with clients? Or if they struggle with tough conversations? Or leave you frustrated because they don't know how to communicate with each other or resolve conflict? It's easy to ass...

They explain how the systems and processes that lead to success – whether in marketing, staffing, or automation – are universal and can be applied to any business, in any industry.They sh...

However, you soon realize that all these systems are just rebranded versions of the same software, leaving you juggling multiple accounts and incomplete solutions.In this episode, Tim and Randy break down the chaos surrounding HighLevel automation tools.They reveal how gym owners are being locked into multiple platforms that barely scratch the surface of...

Or are you just hoping they’ll do their best and grow on their own?Many gym owners don’t have a structured plan to develop their coaches' skills or reward them for hitting performance benchmarks. But without a solid evaluation system, these gyms risk high turnover and stagnation (not to mention missed opportunities for growth).In this episode, Tim and his fitness director, Zach, break down the "4x5 Performance Evaluation" tool that gyms worldwide are now adopting. This system allows coac...

You can't remember?Most gym owners don't have enough time to focus on actual growth because they're too busy putting out everyday fires. Yes, all that grind and constant involvement may feel productive, but it's actually an obstacle that sabotages business scaling.It's ironic, but many gym owners spend most of their time handling tasks that could easily be delegated. So, the turning point for a gym can be handing over the reins to a qualified director. A s...

They’ve followed all the standard advice – worked longer hours, added more services, even joined mastermind groups – yet growth has stagnated.That’s because working harder isn’t always the answer.At some point, you have to stop doing more and start thinking differently. Instead of trying to push through the wall, it’s time to find the open door. And sometimes, it’s not about doing more at all – it’s about changing your mindset.In this episode, Tim an...

They’re trying everything – boot camps, large group training, offering every possible service under the sun – but they’re still struggling.That’s because more doesn’t always mean better. In fact, focusing on too many services and trying to serve all types of clients can actually hurt your bottom line. Instead, narrowing your focus to what truly makes money is the key to skyrocketing your gym business.It’s simple logic: when you pour your energy into wh...

Gym owners struggle month after month, constantly offering discounts or promotions just to make ends meet.Many gym owners believe that offering discounts, paid-in-full memberships, high-ticket offers, or running challenges will solve their problems. But in reality, focusing on these short-term cash grabs makes their financial situation worse. It brings only short-term relief and long-term stress.To build a financially stable gym, you need recurring revenue. By focusing on consistent, monthly membership sales, you create...

So, it’s understandable that gym owners often spend more time learning the latest training techniques than mastering the business side.But that’s also a trap many of us fall into – focusing on what’s interesting rather than what makes an impact. Of course, it’s fun to learn new workout methods, but we have to ask ourselves: is it really growing our business?If we want real business growth, we need to start focusing on the business side – marketing, leadership, and knowing our numbers...
