Built To Grow Fitness Business

The Trainer Brain


Listen Later

Owning a gym is really a dream job – unless you find yourself wearing every hat in the business.

Programming workouts, training clients, fixing machines, running payroll... When does it end? Well, it doesn’t – at least, not until you step away from the “trainer brain” mindset.

The point is, you can’t scale your business if you’re thinking like a trainer. Investing in better equipment, new certifications, and perfect programming doesn’t drive growth. What does? Marketing, retention strategies, and building a business that can run independently of you.

This might be a tough pill to swallow for many gym owners – you need to treat your gym like the asset it should be, not just a job you created for yourself. Create systems, delegate responsibilities, and focus on what truly moves the needle: client experience and strategic growth.

In this week’s episode, Tim and Randy unpack this transformation. This one is for all of you who feel like you’re working harder than ever but getting nowhere.

Tune in and learn how to break free from the daily grind and build the business you deserve!
