Most gym owners don’t think about maximizing their revenues and increasing their profitability initially when they open their gym. They just want to open and start helping people. However, at some point, as they get deeper into the business, they start thinking more about the value of their time and how they can maximize their profitability.

This might lead to transitioning your fitness model from what you are currently offering to a more profitable one. Some gym owners are fearful of changing their model even when their current one is not serving them. They have some self-limiting beliefs. They are afraid of the unknown.

In any gym, you only have so many hours to train clients. At our gym, we do it from five in the morning to nine in the evening. That is 13-hour time slots minus the noon slot where we don’t do any training. Maximizing your revenue during the hours you are open will increase your profitability, which will help you serve your clients even better. In our case, semi-private training makes the most sense for maximizing revenue per hour.

Tune in to this episode and get to hear more about the different fitness models and their revenue per hour. You will also learn more about how we can help you transition from one model to another to increase your profitability.
