What Owning A Gym Is ACTUALLY Like | Day In The Life Of A Gym Owner | Personal Trainer Business Tips

What’s up guys! Jeff from Sorta Healthy here! Today’s video is all about owning a gym. I would say it’s fair to call Commence Fitness Personal Training a private fitness facility, personal training studio, boutique, semiprivate personal training studio, etc. If you ask the people who work out there though, it’s a gym. We’ve been in business for over 7 years now and even though our location is small at 1250 square feet, we pack a powerful punch. We’re known locally as the best place for personal training and we are seen as the fitness place for people who are intimidated by a big box gym. Essentially, we’re the gym for the less hardcore crowd. Your doctor who wants to lose 30 pounds or the local lawyer who’s too busy and know they won’t workout without an appointment time, those are the types of clients we serve. So, my goal with this video is to show you what it’s actually like owning a gym. It’s pretty different than most people would think and I think that if you see a few days in my life, it will help dispel some myths about the gym business. As with much of my content, this will be about running a personal training business. I’ll be sharing a ton of tips on how to run your personal training business and there’s a few in this video that I haven’t talked about anywhere else yet. One thing we talk about is hiring and firing gym staff, more specifically personal trainers. Firing anyone is hard, but firing a long time employee is extra terrible. In this video we break down why we had to fire a personal trainer who’s worked for us for over three years, and if we have any regrets about the whole experience. If you to are looking to run a personal training business I think there will be some good takeaways in this one that you will be able to use yourself to advance your career. Running a personal training business or gym is hard. You have to wear a bunch of different hats and figure some things out as you go. Hopefully these personal training business tips help all of you to avoid some of the mistakes that we’ve made. I’m confident that if you pay close attention in this one you’ll come away with a few things that will help you become a more successful personal training business owner!
