Why over-complicate things?
In this episode, we address a common theme when it comes to owning a fitness business: over-complication. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a million membership options and endless circuits of equipment to impress your members, nor do you need lots of different systems in place to make sure your business runs smoothly. Wayne and Neil talk about the different ways that gym owners can run into over-complication and ways to simplify things!

What on Earth is a PRE-Pre Sale?!
Today Neil and Wayne are talking about one of Neil’s crazy inventions: a Pre-Pre-Sale. The majority of club owners will have heard of a Pre-Sale, which is effectively selling memberships to prospects ahead of when a new business is set to open – meaning you’ve got people using your club as soon as the doors open. A PRE-Pre-Sale is one step further than that! Neil explains why it’s useful and why new clubs everywhere should consider it.
What’s the best way to stay ahead of your competitors?
