If you are the owner of a fitness business, chances are good that you are making some mistakes in the way that you invest in your business. It is common for owners of fitness businesses to concentrate on such things as the latest fitness machines, the demographics of their clients, how long your training classes are and things such as this.
But I still hear from fitness pros who are struggling to make it. They call me and want to know things like how frequently I buy new machines in order to keep clientele up enough to make sufficient funds to meet payroll and make a profit. But oftentimes, they are concentrating on the wrong things. There are more important issues to take a look at.
In order to make a change, we need to investigate things like: How much are you investing a year on business coaching? Are you in a business mastermind? Have you invested in marketing and business systems? If so, what amount? How many personal development books that have nothing to do with fitness alone have you read this year? How many personal development courses have you taken this year that have nothing to do with fitness alone?
How many additional revenue streams does your business have and what are they? I believe if we could analyze these questions and numbers we would see more of the issue of what is holding back the majority of fitness business owners from generating a profit. Let's look under the hood of your business by asking the tough questions.
The equipment trends are soft fluff and part of the problem. Many fit pros think that the equipment is what sells and the type of programming is what matters. It's not. Sure, it's important, but it's not the problem.
The problem is the fit pros lack of marketing skills, business strategy, and ability to grow as an entrepreneur and not just a fit pro. Think about these things and start making some changes that can make a difference in how you grow your fitness businesses.
