In this episode, we have an insightful conversation with Chris Clawson, former CEO of Life Fitness and Matrix Fitness, as he shares his vision for the future of the fitness industry. 

We delve into how advancements in technology and changing economic conditions are set to impact gym owners and the industry as a whole, providing valuable insights for anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve.

Chris also shares the inspiring story of how he was challenged by Augie Nieto to aspire to become the CEO of Life Fitness during a talent review and succession planning process at Brunswick after their acquisition of Life Fitness.

But that's not all - Chris believes that the greatest opportunity in the fitness industry is to reach the 80 plus percent of people globally who are not devotees of fitness and exercise. He also talks about his concept of the "seatbelt law" and how it could be the key to changing this needle.

Today, we have a special guest, Dr. Kenrick McCarty, from Biloxi, Mississippi, who is a renowned expert in hormone replacement therapy (HRT). 

Why  talking about this topic on a Fitness Business Podcast? 

I  believe that discussing HRT is crucial in optimizing the body's potential and achieving fitness goals. 

Gym owners can improve their services by learning about HRT and discussing it with their members, promoting open conversations about the link between hormones, metabolism, weight loss, and energy levels. 

By doing so, they can enhance the effectiveness of their fitness routines and help members gain a deeper understanding of their body's functions. 

As we age, our hormones deplete, leaving us feeling fatigued and impacting our metabolism. HRT, including testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), can help combat these effects. 

In this episode, we're breaking down the stigma surrounding HRT to discuss how these therapies can provide the extra boost your fitness journey needs.

🚨👉Note that this approach can also create new profit opportunities for the gym. Stay tuned for more on how you can serve your members with this alternative in Part #2 of my conversation with Dr Kendrick.
