The Power Of Weekly Billing

Switching from monthly to weekly billing changed everything. It simplified budgeting, improved cash flow, and made price increases painless for clients. This small operational tweak added predictability to the business — something most gym owners crave but rarely achieve.

The Fear Of Raising Prices

Many fitness entrepreneurs resist change because they fear losing clients. But as Jon shares, “the pain of not changing outweighed the pain of staying the same.” Transparent communication and consistent value helped their clients see price adjustments as a win-win for everyone.

Building A Loyal Team

Longevity is rare in the fitness industry — yet this team has coaches who’ve stayed for 10+ years. The secret? Full-time salaries, benefits, and trust. By treating coaching as a career, not a gig, they built stability that fuels better client relationships and consistent service quality.

Creating A Thriving Community

From monthly internal challenges to “coffee with coaches,” every campaign is designed to strengthen bonds. This intentional focus on community keeps members engaged for an average of 45 months — turning clients into lifelong advocates.
