In this episode of The GSD Show, the leading fitness business podcast, we welcome you to part two of our Secret Gym Shopper series! McKenna and Amanda are both part of the incredibly talented Loud Rumor video production team.

They've had the chance to check out a few local studios for their own fitness journey, and since these studios have NO IDEA that they're dealing with industry experts, they got genuine, unfiltered interactions.

McKenna gets the insider scoop on what made Amanda drive 15 minutes farther than the nearest gym just for that experience… and what made her run for the nearest exit, without even finishing her workout.

YIKES!

In this episode of The GSD Show, the leading fitness business podcast, we're diving into a game-changing sales opportunity.

When it comes to sales, most gym owners focus on membership rates and packages. While these are certainly important, there's another game-changing opportunity you can't afford to miss...

...Ancillary sales.

Ancillary sales are products and services that you offer in addition to your core offerings. For fitness studios, this could include supplements, personal training, group classes, or yoga mats.

The possibilities are virtually endless, and in this video, you'll learn how to use this strategy to improve sales and level up your bottom line.

-- How to value stack your most expensive offer

-- How to use positioning in your sales pitch
