We’re joined by Curt Kippenberger this week. Curt’s clinic, Focus on Health in Columbia, MO, successfully follows the clinic gym hybrid model. The practice has been open for 11 years. Today, Curt catches the audience up on how his practice is doing.

“Our gym is kind of unique – it’s very visible. We have these big, gigantic windows… it blends into our reception area, our waiting area. So, you can’t miss what’s going on in the gym. And I did that purposefully. I wanted people to say ‘hey, what the hell is going on over there?’” – Curt Kippenberger

“Now I rarely plan more than 4 weeks in advance; usually it’s 2, often it’s 1. I know where I want to get to but I’m not over-planning it anymore. Decision making has changed. I’d rather have a conversation about it, not a dictatorship.” – Brandon Senn

Jim Adams is our guest in this week’s episode. He is a fitness expert, entrepreneur, and speaker. Jim started The Masters in Fitness Business Podcast, and wove the best episodes into a book called Masters in Fitness Business. Today, Jim discusses what he’s learned from his podcast guests, why having systems in a fitness business is so important, and the unique challenges that gym owners have.

“When people tell me they don’t have systems – bullshit, you do. Because each time you train a client, every time you call a client, every time you sit down with a client, there’s a mental checklist you go through in your head. All you have to do is write it down.” – Jim Adams
