In our many interactions with gym owners through our coaching programs, there’s one theme we keep seeing repeating over and over.

When things get a bit tough in the business, many gym owners find themselves going back to the comfort zone of the training floor. This is what they love and have done for years before they decided to become an entrepreneur.

Nobody can begrudge you from doing what you love, but the reality of being a gym owner is that you are responsible for growing the business. You are responsible for paying your staff, leases, and other crucial details to keep the lights on.

Being on the training floor and connecting with your clients is all good, but this isn’t your primary role.

To be a successful gym owner, you must know your role and where to spend your time. In this episode, Tim and Randy break down the roles of a gym owner and the tasks that have the greatest ROI on your time.
