Sales conversations fall apart when you make it about your gym instead of the person in front of you. Focus on their story, their problems, and a clear plan, so the close feels natural instead of forced.Episode Summary:Selling gets a lot easier when you stop hoping friends and family will support your gym and start treating every consult like a real problem-solving conversation. In today's episode, Sherman reads from his book on gym sales and walks through the mindset shift that took him from giving free workouts and “promising the world” to running a process that actually closes.You'll hear the story of launching a small CrossFit gym, getting humbled when nobody joined, and learning to approach sales like a surgeon: diagnose first, then prescribe. The focus is on sales psychology, follow-up, and using simple tools like body composition data and clear prescriptions so people understand exactly how you can help them reach their goals.Key takeaways:You'll learn:A “no” is usually about timing or offer, not your worth as an owner or coachWhy talking about how “awesome” your gym is turns the consult away from the client's real problemsHow to think like a professional: listen, diagnose, and give a clear “treatment plan” instead of a casual pitchPractical steps to work through fear of sales: identify your fears, create a plan, practice one weakness at a timeHow projecting your own beliefs about money and price onto prospects holds them back from committingWhy most people need 7–10 follow-ups before they're ready to join, and what happens when you stop at twoHow to use tools like an InBody scan or body fat scale to give objective data and track progressWhy you must make a firm prescription instead of letting people default to the cheapest optionHow top-down pricing and staying quiet after presenting prices lets the client make a real decisionA simple consultation flow that starts with rapport, digs into their main problem, and moves into a clear recommendationEpisode Chapters:00:00 Rejection and why “no” isn't personal00:08 Encouragement and praise for the team00:11 Gym Marketing Made Simple podcast intro00:38 Grand opening story and friends not joining03:30 Surgeon's lesson: make it about the client05:22 Sales psychology 101 and mindset around selling08:00 Facing fear, rejection, and building confidence09:30 Projecting price fears and hurting the client11:30 Follow-up, 7–10 touch points, and “not yet”13:00 Case study: Courage Fitness Durham systems vs talent15:00 Three layers of a prospect's problem16:10 Reflection questions on your own mindset18:10 How to sell in a free consultation19:30 Using data, prescriptions, and top-down pricing21:23 Sample sales script for a new clientResources MentionedLasso Framework – Marketing and sales help for gyms: https://www.lassoframework.com/InBody 270 – Body composition tool for weight, body fat, and muscle massOmron Fit / body fat scale – Alternative for basic weight and body fat trackingAbout the PodcastWelcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth.

A lot more than social media pushes people to the gym, according to one expert. Just under one million Kiwis now have memberships - or 26 percent of the population. That's up from 22 percent three years ago, with City Fitness overtaking Les Mills as the gym of choice. Waikato University sport sociologist, Holly Thorpe, says Instagram probably drives some of it, but people also value physical activity. "That's the health benefits, mental health, just feeling good about ourselves - and obviously, those aesthetic benefits." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Send us Fan MailA recruiter who still loves picking up the phone after 16 years is either wired differently or has figured out something most people miss. Rav Prasad joins us to unpack how he went from selling gym memberships to thriving inside major agencies, then stepping out on his own and building Humanistics in Brisbane. Along the way we get into what the Michael Page environment demands, why standards and internal reputation can shape your career, and how those early years harden the skills that matter when markets turn. We compare agency cultures and recruitment KPIs in real terms, including what the Robert Half contracting engine feels like, why activity and connected calls change everything, and the downside of being siloed when you spot a great lead. Rav breaks down why he stayed in accounting and finance recruitment, how Brisbane has become more transactional, and why human connection is still the edge when everyone is moving fast. If you care about candidate experience, client trust, and doing business development without burning out, there are plenty of practical cues you can steal. We also go deeper on leadership and building a recruitment business. Rav shares the mistakes he regrets, why focusing on titles can pull you off track, and what “consistency” looks like day to day when you run your own desk. Then we look forward: AI in recruitment, where automation genuinely helps (admin), where it falls short (context), and why meeting people face to face still gives you information you cannot get on Teams.

Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, Jeff Burlingame breaks down why mindset is the number one factor in gym sales, more important than scripts, lead volume, or offer structure.

For your team:Run staff through the same belief questions. Share and align on a shared mindset around selling as helping. Encourage the team to track wins and losses as part of their mantra practice. ConclusionA strong sales month in your gym starts long before the phone rings. When you're clear that your service works, you believe in it, you believe in yourself, and you know exactly who it's for, every sales call turns into a chance to guide someone to their starting line. With a simple mantra to ground you after both wins and losses, you can show up positive, present, and curious—making it easier to pick up the phone, connect with leads, and enroll the right people into your gym.Call to ActionIf you're ready to stop dreading sales and start closing with confidence, share this episode with your team and start answering the four mindset questions together today.

The journey into private aviation sales isn't what most people imagine. Behind the glossy TikTok videos and Instagram posts lies a world of 2AM logistics calls, complex problem-solving, and relentless attention to detail.Cameron Carey, co-founder and vice president of AvSky Charters, pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to succeed in charter sales. His path from selling gym memberships to rescuing families from civil unrest in Haiti reveals the unglamorous truth of aviation sales - and why he wouldn't trade it for anything else."A lot of people make the mistake that when you're looking for a job you're not in the industry, but you very much are," Cameron explains, highlighting how aviation's tight-knit community means your reputation starts forming with your very first outreach email. His own entry involved "harassing" an executive until he created an unpaid internship position specifically for Cameron - a position that didn't exist before him and wasn't replaced after he moved up.The reality of charter brokerage combines two essential elements: logistics and hospitality. When either falters, the entire experience suffers. Cameron shares hair-raising stories of coordinating cross-country luggage transfers during airport floods and the 72-hour sleepless marathon of his first charter, evacuating American citizens from Haiti when other brokers refused the job.For aspiring charter brokers, Cameron offers practical advice: self-educate about aircraft categories and airports (completely free), develop sales experience in any field (he credits his gym membership sales background), and approach the industry with both persistence and humility. The knowledge is accessible - you don't need to wait for someone to hire you before you start learning.Ready to explore if charter sales might be your path?

Want to be a guest or know someone would be a great fit? I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industryYour health is worth every penny – even when those pennies are in short supply. In today's economic climate, with recession talk swirling and financial pressures mounting, fitness often becomes the first casualty of budget cuts. But what if that's exactly the opposite of what we should do?This eye-opening exploration challenges the mindset that wellness is expendable during financial hardship. While gym memberships, training sessions, and healthy food options may seem like obvious expenses to eliminate when money gets tight, the true cost of neglecting your health far exceeds any temporary savings. Think about it: we meticulously maintain our vehicles with regular washes and services but often treat our bodies as if good health is guaranteed rather than earned through consistent care.The real financial comparison isn't between keeping or cutting your fitness budget today – it's between investing in prevention now versus paying for medical interventions later. As shared by many retirees who did everything right financially but neglected their health, spending your golden years paying for preventable health conditions is a steep price no one wants to pay. Instead of completely eliminating fitness from your life, consider creative alternatives: downgrade your gym membership, see your trainer less frequently, workout at home or outdoors, purchase smaller quantities of quality foods, and leverage free online resources. These adjustments allow you to maintain wellness momentum without breaking the bank.Ready to recession-proof your fitness? Listen now to discover practical strategies that will keep you healthy and strong without financial strain. Remember, your future self will thank you for the investments you make in your health today – and some of the most valuable ones don't cost a thing.Sign up for a FREE week of SSPilates classes: https://www.smallspacepilates.com/sspilatesSupport the show

Send us a Text Message.Have you ever wondered if your business can deduct the cost of an on-site gym? In this episode, Mike focuses on the tax deductibility of gym memberships and on-premises athletic facilities for small businesses. He clarifies that personal gym memberships are not deductible, with rare exceptions for fitness instructors.

Preselling fitness over the phone for a yet-to-be-opened facility is as challenging as it sounds. But here at Alloy Personal Training Franchise, we have perfected the art of preselling, often opening new franchises at or near full capacity.Adam Blankenship, Alloy's presale specialist, joins Rick in this episode to share the exact process, how we do it, and why it is so successful.The first thing you must do in a call is set the right expectations.One common pitfall people make in phone sales is immediately diving into providing information when a prospect gets on the line. The key here is to set the stage for the call right from the beginning. Begin by explaining the purpose of the call.For instance, you can say, "During this call, I will ask you some questions to understand your needs and answer any questions you have. Our goal is to determine if our services align with your goals." Doing this lets you gain the prospect's permission to guide the conversation and establish yourself as an expert.The aim is to prevent the conversation from becoming transactional, focusing solely on price and services. Instead, you're setting the tone for a value-based conversation, emphasizing the importance of understanding the prospect's specific needs.Tune in to this episode to hear our exact process to conduct phone sales!Key Takeaways- Meet Adam Blankenship (00:00)- The challenge of preselling through the phone (08:25)- Setting the right expectations for a call (10:58)- Find the "why" (16:42)- How to ask them to join (23:50)- Overcoming the 3 most common objections (25:12)Additional Resources:- Alloy Personal Training- Learn About The Alloy Franchise Opportunity---------You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven't already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!

Gym talk: Various prices of gym memberships, most racist equipment, P90X + A string of political drops
This week John sits down with two of his favorite business partners, Austin Cohen and Justin Turetsky of FlexIt for a conversation about their business relationship, the fast moving history of the company, and the power of flexible and accessible fitness for everyone. Austin is the Founder & CEO of FlexIt, a company that aims to provide flexible and empowering fitness experiences for consumers and businesses worldwide. He has a background in strategy, business development, finance, capital raising, and has previously worked as a Partner and Chief of Staff at Wheels Up. Justin is the COO and has experience in company growth and expansion, finance, and risk management. He has worked with various startups, ranging from engineering services to FinTech. Justin is also a fitness enthusiast and former competitive ice hockey player who loves making fitness more accessible and convenient for everyone. Both Austin and Justin are Columbia University graduates who are actively involved in the university's entrepreneurship center. Together, they are dedicated to making fitness more flexible and accessible for people all over the world. This is a great episode for anyone looking to gain insights and strategy from a pair of entrepreneurial thinkers who are both experienced and successful in their field. Austin and Justin unpack how FlexIt's technology and infrastructure allows them to connect customers with the best trainers and fitness coaches from around the country creating a system of accountability and consistency for your workout routine. They explain how FlexIt was born out of the pandemic due to the need for remote trainers and workouts. However the evolution of FlexIt did not stop with remote training sessions, they are continuing to evolve into an ecosystem of customizable telehealth, weight loss consultation, nutrition coaches, and holistic health providers. As the world continues to become more interconnected through technology and digital circles, Austin and Justin believe that improving your health and fitness through FlexIt's platform will prove to be more convenient, more affordable, and more personal than conventional gym memberships and fitness classes. As the old paradigms of taxis, cable tv, and brick & mortar retail continue to give way for ride sharing, streaming and e-commerce, FlexIt is poised to be the next disrupter in the rapidly growing market of home fitness and health. Topics include: How The Pandemic Redefined The Fitness Industry What Makes FlexIt a Unique Customer Experience A Holistic Approach Towards Fitness The Current State Of Venture Capital The Importance of Focusing on Profitability Follow Austin: Linkedin Follow Justin: Linkedin FlexIt: Website Instagram Linkedin Follow John: Instagram TikTok LinkedIn 2000 Percent Raise (Book) More 2000 Percent Raise Episodes and Content Produced by Social Chameleon
