The Active Life Podcast

Let's be direct.  Owners of gyms large and small have been discussing deaffiliation from the CrossFit brand for some time, whether as a protest over the changes at CrossFit HQ or because a lack of perceived value provided for the affiliation fee.  This topic has been thrust back into the spotlight following a series of comments and tweets by their founder and CEO Greg Glassman and a huge wave of affiliates have announced their intentions to leave the brand.

But what next?  We're not weighing in at all whether it is good or bad to stay or leave the CrossFit brand.  What we're discussing is what you need to know to create your own brand, and the inherent challenges included in that.  We've boiled this down to five steps that you can make a real plan with.  If you love this episode we've built a full online course that will serve as a guide to rebranding.  Get the course here.

Are you a coach who is still making 4/9th for a personal training session without explanation from your boss? Are you a gym owner paying your employees 4/9ths just because you were told that was the ratio to use?

If you are still choosing your training rates based on an arbitrary number, chances are it is costing you more time and energy to fill your time slots.

In this episode Larry and Dr. Sean breakdown the math to set your floor and ceiling price based on your geographic location. We talk about setting expiration dates and design packages to create urgency, retain clients and most importantly, make more money.

5:00 - Setting your price
10:00 - You have to pay to play
15:00 - Filling your schedule
20:00 - Cost to the gym
25:00 - Navigating the splits
