Many fitness professionals have seen and tried Vibration Training (VT) and wondered, how exactly does it work? The simple answer: it stimulates natural reflexes in the body that result in more muscles doing more things more often.
Obviously, behind the simple answer lies a more complex one.
Imagine today is your new hire’s first day on the job. She walks in (10 minutes early of course) and knows exactly what is expected of her. She knows where she will be able to immediately contribute and which areas she needs more training on.
Even though there will be some areas of the job she may not be completely familiar with, I suspect she would have a certain level of confidence as she walks through the door.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could help your clients get faster results, reinforce their commitment to achieving their goals and increase their value to your business at the same time?
Strategically providing your clients the opportunity to invest in services, products or programs that will help them accomplish their goals faster or avoid their biggest challenges helps you accomplish all three.
We all know fitness business owners (studios, small gyms, independent trainers) don't have the big budgets that many of the big box health clubs do. They don't have the resources or a team of marketing experts that can easily analysis where to allocate certain funds to consistently drive traffic into their businesses.
Luckily in today's day and age, fitness business owners are armed with an abundance of technology to fill in the gaps when your budget might not allow you the reach the big box guys have.
Congratulations! You’ve opened your business and now you’re the owner! You are the master of your destiny and your entrepreneurial dream has come true! Now it’s time to get to work.
When you’re just starting out you typically don’t have a very big team and you're often forced to do everything yourself. That’s ok - it's part of the journey.

The most common financing option available for studios and gyms using fitness equipment leasing is a capital lease. The main purpose of a capital lease is to finance the fitness equipment purchase while preserving the owner’s working capital.
You can finance the purchase of their proprietary equipment, security systems, computer hardware & software, flooring, outdoor signage and other tangible items needed to run the business using a fitness equipment lease.
In the Fitness Industry, August has earned the reputation of being a lazy month. It’s a time when clients struggle more than ever to get inside the studios they belong to. Summer weather is precious and filled with distractions, which end up leaving studios empty like at no other time during the year.
You are encouraged to make the most of it. The time is now to wrap up your mid-year business analysis and use the results in your Q4 Marketing plan. Take advantage of this fleeting quiet and get to work preparing for the rest of this year.
