Every day, thousands of regular, passionate gym owners are looking at their struggling gyms and are wondering why it’s so hard. They can’t seem to break out of that startup mode even many years into their businesses.

Are you one of these gym owners who are:

• Trying different tactics you hear work great for others but then don’t seem to work for you
• Finding yourself dealing with the same problems of win-some/lose-the-same-amount shortly thereafter
• Worn out and don’t know what to do

It’s actually quite possible to avoid these common traps that so many gym owners have fallen into.

They key is to identify what they are (listen to this show) and avoid those mistakes as if your life and every other current and future member’s lives depend on it. Because in a very literal way, they do depend on you to run a successful business.
