Tell us about your box. A little about our box is we like to lift heavy weights and "hammer" heavy, hard and fast workouts! We love to see people become strong and lift weights they never thought possible! We have such an awesome community that is positive and encouraging and loves to put hard work in to see their results. It has truly been a blast to start a business that feels like its a family.
Do you offer nutrition advice? We are starting to get into some nutritional coaching for our members. We know that nutrition is the foundation in everything we do. We need to fuel ourselves properly so that we can live healthily and continue to come into the gym and crush it! We want to make sure our members feel like they are getting the best service around.
Is there anything you've done for your box or customers that's been a game changer? I think the best thing we have received feedback on for member retention is making sure that the feel of our gym is very positive and the feeling of being part of a family. It’s much easier said than done, but we make sure every day we make every moment at the gym a fun and positive atmosphere that leaves you feeling like you are part of a great big family!
I think one of the best things we did was finding a mentor. All the greatest businesses and people have all had mentors. I can’t stress enough how much that put us ahead of the game to have someone basically guide us through the process to make sure we were ready once we opened the doors. Highly recommend either using a business mentor or someone that you have a good relationship that runs a successful gym business help you along.
