Episode Synopsis

This white paper by Jim Thomas outlines ten common reasons why a gym business might experience stagnation and provides actionable solutions for each issue. Thomas emphasizes that stagnation is a gradual process, not a sudden event, often stemming from missed signals. The problems range from lack of clear goals and ineffective marketing to poor lead follow-up, suboptimal member experience, and a failure to innovate. Additionally, the paper addresses issues like insufficient investment in the business, staff disengagement, and neglecting sales strategies. Finally, it highlights the importance of leveraging community partnerships and the owner's own renewed passion to revitalize the gym.www.fmconsulting.netwww.linkedin.com/in/jimthomasconsulting
