It's based on your active members. They haven't raised prices in the last two years I have been with them. I think the base price is $80.

MB was a little harder to learn. You'll need to go through...

I use to have MB a few years ago. After continually jacking the prices every few month and poor customer service, I ditched them for Zen Planner. We only use it for billing and scheduling, so we...

Depends on your situation. If you're working at a chain gym, your hands are pretty tied. If you're independent/own a facility/do in-home, I would spend the entire month of December doing everything I...

Hate it or love it, January is just around the corner, and with it comes a new flood of potential clients. What is everyone doing to capitalize on this, so these newbies workout with you and not with...

I try to stay as active on both as I can. I could do a lot better, though. It's hard to quantify exactly how well it works for me, but I do generate a large majority of my clients through my website....

Anyone with marketing questions? I'd love to get a conversation going, to hopefully help everyone out (including myself).

I've had hit or miss success with them over the years. 5 years ago, it was hard not to be successful with them. Often you could pay as little as $20 and get 5-10 quality leads. Over the years,...

When you see what appears to be a large market with no one serving it, you should pause and consider the reasons for it. Are you the first person to think of serving this market? Probably not. Is...

I would ask yourself two questions:

1. Why is there not a studio already like this in the area?
2. Is it possible to convince trainers to come to my studio and pay 2-4x more than what they are...
