An undeniable truth in the fitness industry: If your athletes aren't getting results, they're going to go somewhere else. In this episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” host Mike Warkentin sits down with two of the minds behind NCFIT, a programming and coaching development provider for CrossFit affiliates. Jason Khalipa, a CrossFit Games champion, is NCFIT's founder and owner. Matt DellaValle, aka “MDV,” is the company's chief fitness officer.The trio discuss the evolution of gym programming over the last 15+ years and explain how you can ensure your programming generates results. Many gym owners get great results for clients and reclaim their time by outsourcing programming to a trusted provider, such as NCFIT. All NCFIT workouts come with a detailed class plan that includes a description, a teaching outline, suggested substitutions and a coaching video that highlights one or two major aspects of the workout. Each workout is presented with two variations: one for the high-intensity Performance track and the other for the more moderate Fitness track. Aside from the standard NCFIT workouts, they also offer streams for strength and bodybuilding, competition and on-the-go training. Listen to the full episode to learn key strategies for improving the programming in your gym—whether you choose to outsource it or not.

In 2024, workouts shouldn't be hard for the sake of being hard.You must ask, “What outcome is this workout designed to produce?” and “What are my clients' goals?”In this episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” Mike Warkentin sits down with Chris Cooper, Two-Brain founder and owner of Catalyst Fitness, to talk about what good programming looks like.One way to ensure you've got strong programming is by outsourcing it to an expert provider like NCFIT, Mayhem or CompTrain.But whether you outsource your programming or create it yourself, the key is being intentional.Goal reviews play a crucial role in that. Do your clients want to get stronger? Do they want to lose weight? Do they want to compete at the CrossFit Games?Good programming produces the results the clients want and increases retention. Tune in to hear why “spicier” workouts aren't the answer and find out what you can do to improve your programming today.
