5 Hidden Killers of Profitability

You might think you’re keeping a close eye on your gym’s profits — but what if hidden problems were draining thousands of dollars from your business every year without you even noticing?

In this episode, Tim and Randy uncover five silent killers that are quietly eating into gym profitability — and share why most owners don’t catch them until it’s too late.

These aren’t the obvious mistakes everyone talks about. Some of them are so small you’d never expect they could add up to thousands in lost profit. But they do — and fixing just one could completely change your bottom line.

If you’re ready to stop the slow leaks and finally put more money back into your business (and your pocket), you won’t want to miss this one.

Tune in and find out where the hidden traps are — and how to fix them fast.
