Still running your gym like a hobby – and wondering why it’s not growing?

A lot of gym owners say they want to scale. But when you peek under the hood, what they really have is a collection of hacks, manual workarounds, and good intentions.

In this episode, Tim and Randy dive into the five non-negotiable systems every fitness business needs to grow with intention, not accident. These aren’t “nice to haves.” These are foundational if you want your gym to function like a real business and not just a side hustle with a lease.

They break down: 

• Why taking checks and using spreadsheets for billing is holding you back 
• Why that slick-looking website you paid for might be costing you leads
• Why gym owners who are still relying only on referrals are flying blind

More importantly, they explain how simple it is to plug in the right systems for membership management, automation, website conversion, paid ads, and lead booking.

So, if you’re trying to finally hit $30k/month or just want to stop stressing about where your next 10 clients are coming from – this episode is for you.
