Personal Update
I am learning a lot about patience these days. It’s a good thing, and I don’t necessarily enjoy it, but it’s also teaching me a little more about myself. When I thought I had myself figured out, I was “given an opportunity” to learn more about how to better adapt in situations I am not prepared for. It’s like that age-old saying goes(I don’t know who said it), Your comfort zone will kill you.
Fantastic Podcast(s) I listened to last week
Run A Profitable Gym Podcast by Chris Cooper| June 12th Episode: Are your group classes costing you money? Calculations and Solutions.
Show Notes: If you're stressing over your group classes, stress no more. Chris Cooper will tell you how to ensure your sessions generate revenue and retain clients.
He'll tell you exactly how many people should be in your classes to maximize the length of engagement, and he'll give you the steps to calculating the value of each class. That data lets you see which classes add to your bottom line and which ones cost you money.
From there, Chris will tell you what you might do instead of running poorly attended classes and explain how to make schedule changes that don't anger your members.
Remember: Profitable gyms run on metrics and data. If you don't know how valuable each group class is, you're flying blind.
My Notes: He has a blunt and data-based approach with something that can become an emotion-based decision when you work with people you consider family and when that line between client and friend gets blurred simply because of how much time we typically spend with those who come work with us. Often, when people make these types of decisions, they can seem cold-hearted or money hungry. Still, the picture of reality he helps paint by bringing the financials of the classes into it allows us, as coaches, to understand how it helps us help more people.
