Description:

Tired of watching small mistakes drain your gym's profits? Here's how to stop paying the “dumb tax” once and for all.

In this episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” Chris Cooper explains how seemingly small business mistakes compound into million-dollar losses over time. More importantly, he tells you how to stop making these gym-sinking errors.

Coop presents three types of mistakes that destroy gym profitability:

  • Compounding problems get worse over time. Example: hiring without proper training systems.
  • Delaying problems punish you for procrastinating. Example: avoiding necessary price increases.
  • Mounting problems are fueled by the increasing momentum of repeated errors. Example: dumping more members into a gym with a broken pricing model.

Chris also gets brutally honest about his own expensive mistakes as a gym owner, and he calculates the real cost of inaction and poor systems so you can see how errors affect P&L statements.

Tune in for the full breakdown and then take action before profit-killing mistakes put you on the path to bankruptcy.
