Golden Nugget Podcast
Such an awesome podcast to listen to even if you are an Online Trainer and Nutrition Coach like I am. There a lot of golden nuggets that I got out of this podcast. Plus, I love Vince’s book that I am reading now on how to market your own gym. I can see how to apply this in my online training business.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

If you’re going to hire a digital marketing agency, this is the ONLY one Vince Recommends

Q: At what point should a small gym start working with an agency?

Typically when there is a critical mass of clients and proof of concept, with a monthly revenue baseline that can support paid marketing; not the earliest step but soon after stabilizing some cash flow.

If you’re going to hire a digital marketing agency, this is the ONLY one Vince Recommends

Q: What is the best way for a gym to work with an agency to get the best possible results from that relationship?

Have clear expectations, acknowledge the reality of trust issues in the space, and let the professionals handle the system rather than second-guessing every move; trust but verify with questions, and use a proven framework rather than random trial-and-error.

The Tom Brady of the Fitness Industry

Q: What made the two-hour in-service with Charlie so impactful for your business?

They used it to audit and improve the training model, document workflows, and establish a framework (including return-to-play protocols) that could scale across clients and staff.

The Tom Brady of the Fitness Industry

Q: How did your first collaboration with Charlie come about and why did you decide to bring him in so early on?

Vince recalls discovering Charlie through the Strength Coach Podcast, reaching out to bring him to the gym, and the long-term impact of that initial engagement on their training approach.

Fix the Profits at Your Gym Masterclass

Q: How often do you recommend price increases?

It depends on how large the increase is, but the idea is to price based on value and to protect risk with a plan; a common approach is to raise by a meaningful, sustainable amount and monitor churn to ensure loyalty remains.
