When you're ready to expand your gym or fitness business, taking it online is a tempting proposition.

We've broken down the process into 4 steps that'll get your fitness videos online and your community generating income.
Here's what you need to do.
LEHI, Utah, Aug. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Podium, the leading communication and payments platform for local businesses, has been named to the Forbes 2021 Cloud 100, the definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world, published by Forbes in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures. Marking its third year on the list, Podium previously received the honor in 2018 and 2020.
In the last two years, the Covid-19 Pandemic has impacted virtually every aspect of America’s culture. The fitness industry is no exception. In fact, COVID-19 had a monumental effect on the way fitness clubs do business. I use the term “virtually” because that is one of the areas most affected, the virtual presentation of a fitness club’s programs.
Most of the clubs I know of have started using ZOOM and other online streaming services to present individual personal training, classes, lectures, and other programs that used to be done in-house.
The number most business owners focus on when determining their success (or lack thereof) is revenue. And while increasing revenue is a good goal, it’s not always the one where you should focus.
Why not? Well, revenue isn’t a great determinant of the health of a business. You could be bringing in $250k in revenue but have an overhead of $245k, leaving just a sliver of your revenue for profit. And taxes? You haven’t even thought about the implications of taxes yet. That’s not a very healthy business.

Podium was founded in 2014 as a way for local businesses to more easily gather online reviews from their customers just by sending a simple text.

Reflecting on performance progress is as important as setting performance goals. Without reflection, it’s very difficult for a client to understand and track the return on their training effort, an important component of motivation and maintaining an exercise habit.

Everyone, no matter their job or industry, deserves to make a living wage. As a business owner, however, the lines may get a little blurred. You’re straddling the need to invest in your business and your team and sometimes paying yourself isn’t the highest priority.
We’d like to change that narrative.
The past 15 months have been challenging to say the least; however, in some aspects the pandemic has become a catalyst for positive change. And for many, it seems that change is making physical and mental health and wellbeing a higher priority.
If Americans continue to explore new ways to activate or maintain healthy lifestyles, we are only six months away from what could be the biggest January ‘New Year’s resolution return’ to gyms on record. The time is NOW to update a space for fitness activity.
