What if the secret to building a truly loyal gym membership—or any recurring customer base—starts the moment someone tries to leave? That question struck me while talking with Blair McHaney, a trailblazing fitness industry leader who's spent more than 40 years reimagining how gyms can deliver customer (or, as Blair puts it, member) experience. Too often, fitness centers focus on sales at the expense of real loyalty, missing the deeper connection that gets members to not only return, but rave about you to others—even after they've canceled. In this episode of the Delighted Customers podcast, Blair reveals why retention isn't about holding onto credit cards, but about keeping (or regaining) a place in members' hearts and minds. We dive into actionable strategies for creating club experiences so powerful that over 50% of new signups are from people who used to be members—and choose to come back. Blair's insights are essential listening not just for those in the fitness industry, but for anyone who wants to operationalize customer experience in a way that drives lasting loyalty and real business results. His expertise in data-driven experience design, journey mapping, and hospitality is second to none. Whether you lead a gym, a bank, or a tech company, Blair will challenge the way you think about member lifecycle, operational excellence, and the critical role of small, human moments that delight customers. Here are three burning questions Blair answers on the show: Is it a myth that gyms just want to sell as many memberships as possible, hoping for high turnover—or is there a smarter, more humane way to build retention and lasting brand love? What are the often-overlooked operational “basics” (think: cleanliness, equipment repair, and front desk hospitality) that form the foundation for differentiation in a crowded industry? How do journey mapping and persona-driven training—far beyond standard SOPs—transform employee culture and drive a superior customer experience at scale?

Meet Blair McKaney Blair McHaney is an entrepreneur, innovator, and CX educator with over 40 years of hands-on leadership in the fitness industry. He currently serves as President and CEO of MX Metrics, Medallia's fitness vertical partner, where he leads data-driven strategies to enhance member experiences across nearly 1,000 fitness clubs worldwide. Prior to that, Blair spent three formative years at Medallia as VP of Strategic Initiatives, where his operational expertise—not tech background—helped launch scalable approaches to customer and member experience management. He's also an owner of two successful fitness clubs in Central Washington, where he's pioneered a radically member-centered approach to retention, alumni creation, and frontline hospitality. Blair's journey is a testament to learning by doing: from journeyman carpenter to gym owner at age 23, to tech-enabled CX leader, he's obsessed with operationalizing experience. He's a champion of “alumni creation”—ensuring members who leave do so as fans, not detractors—and believes the greatest opportunities in fitness (and beyond) are found in reimagining processes, policies, and employee education to put the customer first.

We're discussing the impact of body image and societal pressures on women within the fitness industry this week with Aram Grigorian. We examine how these factors contribute to unhealthy behaviors and promote misinformation, while emphasizing the importance of cultivating a healthy relationship with food and physical activity. After you listen, you'll simplify your approach to fitness and nutrition by understanding that true health comes from balance and self-acceptance, rather than meeting unrealistic standards.

Today we're discussing the dark side of the fitness industry: how it profits off your insecurities. The health and fitness industry is worth $115 billion, and what's not talked about enough is how much of that money is made by making people feel like they're not good enough. We love fitness and health, but the problem is that a lot of what's being sold is manipulation. So how do you know when you're being played by the health and wellness industry? And more importantly, what can you do to take your power back? Tune in to find out.In this episode, we discuss: The Dark Side of Fitness MarketingUnrealistic Standards: The Profit in PerfectionDo You Really Need That?

Buckle up for one heckuva inspiring episode today as I sit down with my dear friend, legendary trainer, author, and now AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR…Greg Justice. Yep—you read that right. At 63 years young, Greg recently stepped onto the Ninja Warrior stage and showed the world what's possible when faith, grit, and years of consistent deposits into your health account come together. This isn't just a story about obstacles, balance logs, or flying through the air—it's about mindset, purpose, legacy, and what it really means to never stop growing. In This Episode, We Dive Into: Greg's full American Ninja Warrior experience—from a 4am call-time to national TV stardom.  How a setback (a brutal ankle injury) turned into a setup for his comeback. The Jack LaLanne legacy that drives Greg's mission. And a surprise visit from Elaine LaLanne on primetime NBC. Why mindset beats age every single time. Greg's recovery story and how he reprogrammed his brain (and body) to overcome fear. “BEDWAS”: The powerful acronym Greg lives by every morning. The difference between retiring and rewiring. In this Show, Greg also drops powerful truths like: “Age isn't just a number. It's experience, wisdom, and an invitation to do MORE.” “Your bank and health account are like the same thing. The more good things you put into them, the more you can take out of them.” “I'm a rookie at 64—and I'm just getting started.” “Don't let someone else define your limits.” This episode is for you if you've ever felt “too old” to start something new, or if you've faced a setback that's begging to be reframed as a setup for something greater. It's for the person who doesn't just want to leave a legacy—but wants to live it out loud, every single day. And it's for anyone who needs a powerful reminder that your health is your greatest form of wealth. Listen in, get fired up, and then go deposit something into YOUR health account today.

Binging Podcasts Won't Make You Rich. Execution Will. Let's Build Your Fitness Empire! Book a call with one of my coaches, get a plan, and start scaling. https://fitness-entrepreneur.com/podcasts/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=the-art-of-selling-with-purpose-in-the-fitness-industry Sales calls used to make me feel awkward, like I was pushing something on someone who wasn't ready. But over time, I realised that if you truly believe in what you're offering, challenging someone to invest in themselves isn't pushy—it's leadership. In this episode, I unpack the real purpose of a sales call in the fitness industry. It's not about pressure—it's about helping someone make a decision that could change their life. From rebuilding confidence to giving someone structure and purpose, coaching goes far beyond sets and reps. And while not every conversation will lead to a sale, every call is a chance to lead with integrity and belief in what you do. If you're looking to approach sales with more confidence and less hesitation, this one's for you.

Today, host Pete Moore sits down with Michael Pesta, a veteran in the HALO space whose career has bridged the fitness, entertainment, and tech industries. Michael shares his journey from his beginnings at AFAA—where he played a key role in pioneering fitness education and telemarketing globally—to an unexpected pivot into film and music production. Mike's story started in the mid-1980s, when, as a struggling actor, he agreed to help move boxes at an organization he hadn't heard of—never suspecting it would literally change his life. Michael quickly found himself drawn into the organization's mission and over time, rose from a casual volunteer to become the director of membership.  Michael is now back in the HALO sector with an innovative focus on telefitness, aiming to bridge the longstanding gap between the fitness and healthcare industries. Pete and Michael discuss the evolution of fitness education, the changing landscape of personal training, the integration of technology, and Pesta's vision for a new era where trainers, healthcare professionals, and clients all connect seamlessly.  Key themes discussed Evolution of fitness industry education and certification. Partnerships between fitness brands and major companies (e.x., Reebok.) Transition from fitness to entertainment and back. The rise of telefitness and telehealth platforms. The challenges and benefits of online personal training. The importance of connecting fitness with healthcare services. A few key takeaways:  1. AFAA's Early Days and Industry Impact: Pesta entered the fitness space by chance with AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America), which at the time was a key player in fitness education and certifications. He helped develop their telemarketing division and played a major role in expanding programs globally, including strategic partnerships like outfitting instructors worldwide with Reebok shoes.  2. Adaptation and Collaboration Are Key in Fitness Partnerships: Michael highlighted the importance of partnerships between leading fitness brands and educators. Collaborations with companies like Reebok brought vast exposure and validation to AFAA's education programs. However, he also notes that how big brands like Nike and Reebok interact with the sector continues to evolve, and education may not always be their current focus, despite massive historical investments. 3. Career Shifts Bring Transferable Skills: After a successful run in fitness, Pesta took a leap into the entertainment industry, producing films and learning every facet of the production business. This gave him valuable skills in production, marketing, and distribution—skills he would later apply upon returning to the fitness and telehealth sectors. 4. The Next Big Thing-Telefitness as an Extension of Telehealth: Michael's current focus is to create a trusted, HIPAA-compliant platform that not only vets the best personal trainers but also positions them for direct referrals from healthcare providers. This effort aims to solve the industry's historical inability to connect personal training with mainstream healthcare. 5. Support and Upskilling for Personal Trainers: Telefitness will provide personal trainers with new opportunities for entrepreneurship, offering lead generation, business-building support (like webinars specifically for virtual training), and potential client referrals sourced from both healthcare and consumer channels. Trainers won't be charged upfront SaaS fees; instead, the model will center on revenue-sharing. The emphasis is on elevating trainers' roles, including launching specialties like the “medical personal trainer.” Resources:  Michael Pesta: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-h-pesta-satori-1a9776a5/  AFAA: https://www.afaa.com  Classroom Trainer: https://www.classroomtrainer.com   Prospect Wizard: https://www.theprospectwizard.com  Promotion Vault: http://www.promotionvault.com HigherDose: http://www.higherdose.com

Episode Description & Show Notes: This week, a fitness influencer went viral for saying people over 200 pounds shouldn't be allowed in Pilates class—and that instructors with a “gut” shouldn't be teaching. Yes, she deleted the video. But the damage was done. Thousands of people agreed with her. This is the fitness industry we're still up against. And in this episode, we're not just pushing back—we're burning the whole narrative down. We break down 13 research-backed reasons why building your fitness brand around body transformation isn't just unethical—it's lazy, outdated, and costing you money. What we cover: Why transformation-based branding leads to low retention and high churn How extrinsic motivation backfires (and what the neuroscience says) The impact of shame-based messaging on mental health How to actually build emotional loyalty that fuels long-term growth Why purpose-driven brands scale better—and feel better This episode is part reckoning, part guidebook. We brought the science, the lived experience, and the tools to help you build a brand that doesn't just sell workouts—but moves people. Whether you've already left the old model behind or are still working your way out of it—this one's for you. If this message resonates, share it. Post it. Text it to your team. Forward it to another studio owner. This is how we shift the industry—together.   SPRING INTO SUMMER AUDITS (Limited-Time Offer) Want to be sure your brand is saying what it's supposed to—and that your class experience is reinforcing it?

I break down what I've learned from some seriously smart finance people (not from watching the news), and explain how this stuff could affect your clients and your business.But most importantly—I'm sharing exactly what we did at Gabriele Fitness to drop our attrition rate to 1.5%. That's the lowest it's ever been. I'm talking real strategies, real results—no fluff. If you're trying to keep your members happy, showing up, and not canceling, you'll want to hear this one. Top 5 Key PointsFocus on What You Can Actually ControlYou can't control the economy, politics, or what China does. But you can control your fitness, your food, your time, your team—and how hard you work. Do that.Fear is in the Air—That Affects SpendingTariffs are creating uncertainty, and uncertainty makes people think twice before spending money. If your clients feel unsure, your gym could end up on the chopping block—unless you show them you're worth every penny.Keep What You've GotWhen it gets harder to bring in new leads, your best bet is to double down on the clients you already have. Our motto: Operation: Don't Lose Anybody. That's how we cut attrition to 1.5%.Add Real Value (Not More Sessions)Personalization, connection, and community win. Automated birthday emails don't cut it. We did stuff like personalized holiday videos and ran an epic March Madness event just for members. That's what people actually care about.Don't Be Afraid to Lead HardWhen someone tries to cancel or go on hold, challenge them. Remind them why they started. People are secretly begging to be led—especially in times like these. Be the leader they're looking for. Want a fresh set of eyes on your business?

Greetings and welcome back to another great episode of The Todd Durkin IMPACT Show—and today, I've got something REALLY special for you. I recently wrapped up two incredible days at the NASM HQ (that's the National Academy of Sports Medicine) in Gilbert, Arizona. Not only did I deliver TWO (2) keynotes to their team of 100+ passionate fitness professionals & executives, but I also sat down with three (3) of NASM's top leaders for a powerful series of convos that I had to bring straight to YOU today. This episode is all about coaching, leadership, mindset, and the FUTURE of the fitness industry. I hope you are ready to dive in…   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Mindset Coaching with TD (Opening Segment): Why relationships > resumes—and how to deepen the ones that matter most. How perfection is killing your momentum—and what to do about it. The power of vision as your anchor—not just for 2025, but for the next decade of your life and business. Behind-the-scenes look at how we're using vision boards at TDE & Impact X—and why YOU should too. On Location at NASM HQ (Gilbert, AZ): I sat down with three (3) NASM leaders to talk shop, drop fire, and share the future of coaching with you.   Guest #1: Tony Ambler-Wright – Product Manager, NASM What NASM-1 (aka N1 Membership) is—and how it supports 40,000+ trainers every year. Why the biggest opportunity in fitness is actually in career sustainability, not just certification. The rise of high school and midlife career changers entering the industry—and how NASM is equipping them. Guest #2: Mike Fantigrassi – Head of Product, NASM The BIGGEST trends shaping the fitness world in 2025: longevity, biohacking, GLP-1s, wellness coaching. How NASM is teaching trainers to safely and effectively coach clients on weight loss meds like Ozempic. The shift toward behavior change, motivational interviewing, and building deeper client relationships. Why 40% of NASM course buyers are using them for personal growth, not just careers. Guest #3: David Van Daff (aka D.V.D.) – VP, Industry Development & Public Affairs A powerful recap of my keynote to NASM's full team. What it really means to lead at work, at home, and within your community. How to develop leaders in your business (and why it's the fastest path to growth). Setting guardrails around your schedule, energy, and relationships to avoid burnout. Why trainers MUST learn sales, communication, and business development to stay in the game long-term. And the one thing every coach needs to remember: “Never underestimate the power of ONE.”   Big Takeaways from this episode: Today's trainer needs to be more than just physically fit—they need to be a leader, a life coach, a business builder, and a trusted guide. The fitness industry isn't shrinking—it's EXPANDING. But only those who evolve will thrive. Success today is about alignment of your vision, your habits, and your community. If you're a trainer, coach, or leader who's fired up to create IMPACT—do me a favor.
