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13 research-backed reasons why building your fitness brand around body transformation isn't just unethical—it's lazy, outdated, and costing you money.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?

In this episode, host Pete Moore moderates a panel discussion with key leaders from CR Fitness Holdings, one of the largest franchisees in the Crunch Fitness chain. At the time of this recording, they were at 70 locations, "Planning to finish up the year around 75 locations if all falls into place, and next year looking at another 12 to 15", states COO Peter Constantino. He goes on to challenge traditional gym models and share insights on personalization in high-volume, low-price (HVLP) clubs. Alyssa D'Aquino, VP of Group Fitness emphasizes tailoring services to fit member needs, and Julian Torok, VP of Sales, drives home the importance of team member engagement which carries over into a positive member experience. Jaci Petrock, VP of New Club Openings reveals exciting new developments in Crunch's facilities, from hydromassage to cryoloungers and touches on their growth plans for 2025 and beyond. Finally Darrick Druce, VP of Personal Training highlights the need for adaptability and risk-taking in today's fitness industry. Key themes discussed CR Fitness prioritizes retaining and investing in people. Market expansion in new areas requires a very clear brand identity. Instructors work multiple locations, varied classes, one unified brand. Belief-driven membership success over "slick" sales tactics. Team experience influences member satisfaction and engagement. Affordable gym with diverse fitness and recovery options. Highly experienced "home grown" leadership team raises industry standards and success. A few key takeaways:  1. Personalization and Community Focus: Constantino emphasized the importance of creating a personalized and community-oriented experience. Despite the high-volume, low-price (HVLP) model, Crunch works hard to get to know members personally and to foster a family-like atmosphere to make every member feel welcome. 2. Innovative Fitness Offerings: Jaci highlighted Crunch's ongoing transformation with new services and equipment. The introduction of amenities like hydromassage, cryoloungers, and diverse fitness classes aim to attract a broad customer base and keep members engaged. 3. Team Member Experience: Julian underlined the long-term experience of senior team members which directly impacts member experience. By focusing on structured onboarding processes, hiring from within the gym community, and involving employees in personal training and group fitness, Crunch ensures staff remain enthusiastic and engaged, leading to better service for members and lower attrition.  4. Medical Integration Opportunity: CR Fitness is also exploring partnerships with medical groups and insurance companies to work to bridge the gap between healthcare and fitness. These potential partnerships aim to innovate by providing comprehensive wellness solutions that could benefit both members and the gym's growth. 5. Adaptation and Risk-taking: Derek Truce stressed the need for Crunch to continually evolve and take calculated risks to stay ahead in the competitive fitness industry. He pointed out that many once-strong players have fallen behind due to a lack of innovation, and Crunch aims to avoid that by embracing change and setting industry standards with their new branding approach.  Resources:  CR Fitness: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crfitnessholdingsllc/about/  Prospect Wizard: http://www.theprospectwizard.com Promotion Vault: http://www.promotionvault.com HigherDose: http://www.higherdose.com  Connect With Us:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehaloadvisors/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Integritysquare  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@halotalks  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/integrity-square/  Website: https://www.halotalks.com
