COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Resources Direct to You from AFS. Access Now
Today’s health crisis is forcing gyms, studios, and wellness professionals to shut down in-person operations, and many are looking for ways to stay connected with members when they can’t make it in person.
Thank you to Joseph Hsiung for taking the time to answer some questions from AFS!
In this featured spot, Joseph Hsiung, CEO & Founder of Fight Fitness shares his insight about how WellnessLiving made an immediate impact to his bottom line and helped scale his business to three locations!
Are you a gym or fitness studio owner looking to expand your class offerings to kids? It’s a big market that can bring in a lot of revenue, but managing them isn’t as straightforward as managing your adult classes is. When your clients are underage, there are extra steps to your basic operations such as client tracking, waivers, payments and more.
You can be almost certain that if a prospect is calling you about your services, they are probably contacting your competition as well. In reality, there is no difference between you and your competition, unless your customer or prospect perceives it. Your job is to make that customer understand the value of your studio.
Amino Acids are the compounds that are the building blocks of protein and are what your body uses to build muscle. There are both essential and non-essential amino acids. Non-essential amino acids can be produced in the body and from vitamins and other amino acids.
They are essential for proper metabolism, despite their name. However, essential amino acids cannot be made in the body.
In business, it is often said, “It’s always about the money”. And many of us are also familiar with the slogan that it “takes money to make money”...whether the money is personal capital, shareholder equity, or borrowed funds.

Running a gym means being pulled in a lot of different directions. You’re teaching classes, managing vendors, maintaining your staff, tracking data, and constantly trying to think of new ways to bring in more clients and grow your business.
Sometimes it’s exhausting and you just want a little help. That’s where automation comes in.
With the rise of celebrity trainers and well known independent personal trainers releasing apps that engage and motivate members 24/7, often promising complete physical transformations in just 3 months, are you missing a trick by not offering virtual training options or a hybrid of face-to-face and virtual classes?
Reserve with Google is an exciting tool that will help you dominate your industry! With this functionality on your side, your business will stand out on sites like Google Search, Google Maps, and the Reserve with Google website. It’s important to note that Reserve with Google will not work without a Google My Business Listing, however.
Do you only trade dollars for hours worked? Geralyn Coopersmith of Coopersmith Consulting LLC, recently was quoted in Club Industry’s 2019 report stating, “almost every trainer needs to have some other ancillary revenue stream where they are not trading time for money.”
The information age and evolution of the internet has allowed many people to make a living more passively.
