In this episode, Tim and Randy will talk about the number of ways that gym owners pay their coaches/personal trainers and staff. This is an area that is very important for the livelihood of a gym and it’s the one thing that every gym owner does differently.

A gym owner can very easily bury their business if they pay their staff the wrong way, and this is something that is not talked about widely because it’s not considered necessary when in reality some gym owners take care of their staff so much that it hurts their business financially. 

That’s what Tim and Randy want to put an end to with this episode, and they will dive into how they believe gym owners should be paying their coaches/personal trainers and staff to avoid struggles with managing expenses and balancing cash flow so they can maximize the profitability of their business and scale successfully. So if you’re a gym owner looking to be a winner in the industry, you need to listen to this.
