“Get 500 members.” “Online coaching is dead.” “Don't raise your rates.”

How much of the gym business advice flooding your social feeds is actually true?

In this episode, Chris Cooper cuts through the BS with a crucial request for gym owners: Be part of Two-Brain's annual “State of the Industry” report.

Every year, thousands of gyms worldwide contribute to the report, along with software platforms such as Wodify and Kilo, creating the largest fitness business data set in the world.

The data is reviewed by an independent analyst and then published to help gym owners make informed decisions about pricing, staffing, marketing and more—one gym owner even saved $100,000 on a lease just by reading the report.

The more gyms that participate, the clearer the picture becomes for every gym owner.

Please take five to 10 minutes to fill out the survey via the link below. In return, you'll get immediate access to 19 of Two-Brain's best resources and an advance copy of this year’s “State of the Industry” report delivered straight to your inbox.

Don’t just listen to the loudest voice you hear. Let’s separate fact from fiction together.

Tired of wearing every hat in your gym?

AI can handle repetitive tasks so you can focus on the work only you can do.

Today on “Run a Profitable Gym,” Chris Cooper explains how gym owners can use artificial intelligence to automate their businesses without losing the human touch that gyms need.

He walks through the three-step process of systemize, optimize, automate—explaining that many gym owners fail to use AI successfully because they’re trying to automate broken or undefined processes.

Once solid systems have been optimized, gym owners can use AI for basic customer service, habits coaching, inventory management and similar tasks, which frees up their time for high-value work.

Coop also shares specific tools Two-Brain gyms are already using, from Garmin Clipboard for tracking athlete data to ManyChat for nurturing leads.

Check out the full episode to learn which tasks to automate first in your gym so you can start buying back your time.
