00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.560
Welcome to the gym secrets podcast where you talk about how to get more customers how to make more per customer

2
00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:10.980
And how to keep them longer and the many failures and lessons that we have learned along the way. I hope you enjoy and subscribe

3
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:18.940
Jim owners happy Monday hope this video reaches you at a good time wherever you're at

4
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.880
This is I think this is a very important video that I want to make

5
00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:25.720
It's been on my mind for probably the last month or two

6
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:28.840
But it became apparent to me that we needed to

7
00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:38.120
Clearly state our position and so I think it starts with context of where the industry is out right now and then kind of how

8
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.200
Jim launch sees ourselves best supporting the industry and

9
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:44.560
Jim owners within it

10
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:53.600
So right now as I see it from the various sources that I've collected 25 to 30% of all independent gyms have permanently closed

11
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.920
I believe and I said at the very beginning that I thought it would be to 30

12
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:05.400
But I think I was wrong. I think I underestimated how many more gyms would actually not be able to stay in business

13
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:13.360
And so I think that number may climb over the next six months to maybe 40 or even 50% of independently owned and operated facilities

14
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.440
The reason that I wanted to start with that is that

15
00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:23.840
In the world of investments and finance they have a saying which is

16
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:29.000
In a if you have can pick between a strong operator and

17
00:01:29.800 --> 00:01:35.960
a weak in a weak market or a strong market with a weak operator in both cases the market wins

18
00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:38.880
Which is you can be the best you know entrepreneur in the world

19
00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:41.760
But if you're trying to figure out something that helps newspaper companies

20
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.720
You're probably not going to succeed because newspapers are going on a business

21
00:01:46.720 --> 00:01:49.840
And I'm not saying that gyms are newspapers. That's not my point

22
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.720
The point is more so that just to illustrate

23
00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:55.800
Growing versus static versus shrinking markets

24
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.240
So where do I think the market is going?

25
00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:05.040
I think the gym industry has a very very rough next year ahead

26
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:11.920
I think that the vast majority of consumers as I said earlier have already had the opportunity to switch to different

27
00:02:12.760 --> 00:02:17.480
Fitness vehicles. I think that the brand of fitness that we have to offer right now

28
00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:22.840
Given the constraints in the political environment and what we are forced to do

29
00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:25.640
Whether right or not

30
00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:27.160
are our

31
00:02:27.160 --> 00:02:29.000
massive

32
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.640
constraints on the business right we cannot create the experience that we have

33
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.560
Wanted to create for our customers. We want to create a memorable experience for them

34
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.960
And I don't think that the constraints that are there give us that opportunity

35
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:46.120
I also think it creates tons of variability in workforce and labor because we cannot predict

36
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:52.040
How if we're going to get shut down again or if it's going to reopen or if there's going to be a spike or there's going to be a new constraint

37
00:02:52.040 --> 00:02:54.520
And we have to do temperature thermometers or

38
00:02:55.320 --> 00:03:02.600
This type of mask or they have to you know all of these different things massively way into and I don't know if you've just to illustrate this for you personally

39
00:03:03.880 --> 00:03:08.760
I am not going out to eat at restaurants nearly as much mostly because I just don't feel like dealing with the hassle

40
00:03:09.160 --> 00:03:12.840
And I think that that is true amongst many people who are looking at

41
00:03:13.160 --> 00:03:17.560
Going back to service-based facilities right now if you're looking at you know if you're a woman

42
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.920
And you're trying to get your nails done or you get your hair done or any of those types of things

43
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:26.520
Go in and ask them how business has been right they have the same constraints that you know

44
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:31.080
Jim has and many of those people would like to go back and have that desire and yet they have not

45
00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:36.040
And so I think what we've done or what what's happened in the marketplaces that we've permanently trained consumers

46
00:03:36.600 --> 00:03:38.920
To consume or fill this need in a different way

47
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:45.240
And I think just by nature of you know from zero to a hundred if I if we had a hundred percent of our clients before this

48
00:03:45.320 --> 00:03:50.280
If all of those clients are introduced to a new type of service or a new solution for this need

49
00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:52.920
A amount greater than zero

50
00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:55.480
Will stick with that and so

51
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.360
I think that the market overall

52
00:03:59.160 --> 00:04:02.520
Is shrinking and we'll continue to shrink for the foreseeable future

53
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:04.760
so

54
00:04:04.760 --> 00:04:06.760
To put this statement open and clear

55
00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:11.560
Jim launch is loyal to Jim owners. We are not loyal to gyms

56
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:18.440
My goal is to equip everyone here in this community with the best the opportunity vehicle to package their skills

57
00:04:18.840 --> 00:04:23.880
To be able to provide for their families and be able to serve their communities in a way that makes them healthier

58
00:04:24.280 --> 00:04:32.120
That has been the goal since date one gyms at the time for the last three four years has been a vehicle for that individual

59
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.560
Which one put together with you know the gym launch system

60
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:42.760
Created profitable business for the gym owner and creates a superior experience for the customer and helps people get healthy, which is the goal

61
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.040
To that end

62
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.600
Jim launch as a company will be pivoted

63
00:04:49.400 --> 00:04:56.200
And that is because I believe that the best opportunity for gym owners is remote for a variety of reasons

64
00:04:56.840 --> 00:05:02.920
I think that first off from a lead generation standpoint for most small businesses lead generation is the hardest thing

65
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.360
In a remote environment or an online environment you have virtually unlimited lead generation

66
00:05:08.840 --> 00:05:12.680
You will never fatigue the United States's need for weight loss

67
00:05:13.080 --> 00:05:18.600
You won't even fatigue a 50 mile radius for weight loss, but a five mile radius. It's definitely possible

68
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:23.560
It's much more difficult and I can tell you this right now first hand on the GLX side

69
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.360
The people that were working with foreign person versus remote

70
00:05:27.320 --> 00:05:33.000
They they cycle through the copying creative at three to four times the rate it burns out much faster

71
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:38.920
So there's more effort that has to go in for a lesser volume result at a higher cost

72
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.880
And the the lead costs if you just think

73
00:05:42.760 --> 00:05:49.960
conservatively if 30% of people are not going to like people already have excuses to not going to the gym when they have no constraints

74
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:54.440
But if you add even a little bit of friction towards something that they already kind of don't want to do

75
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:56.520
Then that constraint may double

76
00:05:56.520 --> 00:06:01.640
And that's pretty much what we're already seeing that lead costs on average across all the markets for in persons about 30 dollars

77
00:06:02.200 --> 00:06:06.360
For many people that does not and that's for free offer right not even paid right that's average

78
00:06:06.440 --> 00:06:10.280
Now some people might be better some of people worse, but this is just on average what we're looking at

79
00:06:10.840 --> 00:06:15.480
And so when when we take these things into account right we can get way more leads

80
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.280
At a way lower price with less effort and more consistency

81
00:06:21.320 --> 00:06:22.680
factor one

82
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:24.520
factor two

83
00:06:24.520 --> 00:06:26.520
the model itself

84
00:06:26.520 --> 00:06:32.040
How difficult is it to implement how much margin remains for the business owner

85
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.640
How does it enable the business owners lifestyle

86
00:06:36.520 --> 00:06:41.720
In an online setting or remote setting the business owner can move and live wherever they want

87
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.560
They don't have to be in a single area they can have freedom with their family

88
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.280
They don't have to show up at the gym at four o'clock in the morning

89
00:06:48.280 --> 00:06:50.840
They don't have to be there until nine o'clock at night

90
00:06:50.840 --> 00:06:56.040
They don't have to drive in for an appointment to have that person no show and then have another one at seven o'clock at night

91
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:02.840
That they just sit there and wait for right a lot of those things that we've had to deal with is gym owners and small business owners

92
00:07:02.840 --> 00:07:09.000
In a brick and mortar setting no longer has to exist all right and very frankly

93
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:15.240
I have always wanted to figure out a way to make online work at scale why

94
00:07:15.960 --> 00:07:22.520
Because you no longer a geographic constraint you're far less temporarily constrained and financially

95
00:07:22.520 --> 00:07:24.680
The model is more profitable

96
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:26.200
period

97
00:07:26.200 --> 00:07:29.640
And as a quote like just from the business setting that would probably be enough for me

98
00:07:29.640 --> 00:07:31.640
But on top of that

99
00:07:31.640 --> 00:07:33.480
Many people

100
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:39.000
Achieve superior results in a one-on-one setting compared to a group workout setting

101
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:44.600
Right many of you have hired TKN have worked with Trevor have worked with an online coach

102
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:49.400
Whether on the strength side or the nutrition side or body composition or whatever and you did that

103
00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:52.280
Because you knew the one-on-one attention

104
00:07:52.760 --> 00:07:57.480
Allowed you to get a better result right if you had to change someone's life

105
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.760
And you if they signed on and somebody in your family were going to die

106
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:09.480
What way would you train them if you had the option of group workouts or one-on-one coaching online

107
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.800
If you had to which one would you do because if you say group workouts

108
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.160
But then you'd start doing the one-on-one attention that's not the model that's not the question

109
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:20.600
The question is which would you because that is realistically what we're offering a marketplace

110
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:25.080
All right, and so I already said there was enough of a case from business standpoint to make that argument

111
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.560
But on the fitness component side

112
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:32.280
I believe that the actual film in his better for the end user and is more profitable

113
00:08:32.920 --> 00:08:34.360
On top of that

114
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:38.040
You have fixed margins in the business you do not necessarily need to have rent now

115
00:08:38.040 --> 00:08:41.400
If you have to deal with the fact that you have rent then that's a separate issue

116
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.280
But the business model itself is not constrained by the sunk cost and decisions that have been made in the past

117
00:08:46.680 --> 00:08:48.280
And the reason that I did not

118
00:08:48.920 --> 00:08:54.440
Have an online business model until COVID hit was one because we didn't have to

119
00:08:54.920 --> 00:09:00.040
But two because no model that I could find and I looked at everyone's out there

120
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:06.680
Could be done at scale by anyone without a superior skill set without

121
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.640
Having an authority or having a following or

122
00:09:10.280 --> 00:09:13.640
requiring an inordinate amount of effort for example

123
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.480
There are three primary models that exist in online today

124
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.440
excluding the GLX model that I'm going to talk about

125
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.600
I

126
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:24.120
Vehicle one

127
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.920
Outbound messaging right we have the code messenger training I bought two or three ten thousand dollar courses

128
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:33.960
I took all the best findings and I put it into a course for thirty seven dollars right you guys all have access to it

129
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:36.680
Fundamentally why is it not something that I see is

130
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:43.240
enormously valuable because it requires effort right simply put you have to spend

131
00:09:43.800 --> 00:09:49.480
Two three four hours a day out that messaging people does it work? Yes does it require a ton of effort?

132
00:09:49.800 --> 00:09:55.960
Yes, can you scale that not really right and so that is opportunity vehicle number one

133
00:09:56.040 --> 00:09:59.880
And if you've seen all the gurus over the last several years the reason none of them have an enormous business

134
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.200
Is because the vehicle is not that good

135
00:10:02.520 --> 00:10:07.800
It's okay right with an okay vehicle you can build it okay business all right so that's vehicle one

136
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:13.720
Vehicle two is doing a webinar since building out a sales presentation that edifies you

137
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:19.400
Generating traffic online to register for the webinar watch the webinar pushing to an application that they

138
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:23.800
Then schedule a call with you so you can do a two thousand three thousand dollar plus sale

139
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:29.800
Typically those models do not make a ton of money one because the webinar is for tea

140
00:10:30.280 --> 00:10:35.080
Two because the cost for application is extremely expensive you're looking at a hundred dollar applications many times

141
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:37.080
three

142
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:43.080
Some of the people who are why know in that space who are experienced only get one to one two to one up front on their

143
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.080
Edspin with a high ticket sale

144
00:10:45.800 --> 00:10:50.200
And that's the people who know what they're doing that doesn't seem like a model that I would scale to others

145
00:10:51.160 --> 00:10:54.840
Third model is doing an online challenge model

146
00:10:55.160 --> 00:10:57.160
What that means is not the way that we're talking about it

147
00:10:57.160 --> 00:10:58.680
But they do group challenges

148
00:10:58.680 --> 00:11:02.280
So that's where you tell everyone to sign up for a group it's a five day challenge

149
00:11:02.280 --> 00:11:06.920
You make content day one through four and then you make a pitch on day four and try and get a room day of pitch on day three

150
00:11:06.920 --> 00:11:11.240
It doesn't matter point is is that you're trying to solicit people from a free group where you provide value where you're

151
00:11:11.400 --> 00:11:14.440
Someone edified to then get on the phone with you to buy some stuff

152
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.360
right

153
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:22.440
And that model is again a very effort effort based model. It's very stoppens to go. It's very clumpy

154
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:25.880
And in my opinion, it's very difficult to scale

155
00:11:25.880 --> 00:11:31.800
Which is why you don't see any massive online weight loss companies that just do these five day online challenges

156
00:11:31.800 --> 00:11:36.680
And I'm gonna say massive. I'm saying real massive not like small person massive. I'm saying real big businesses

157
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.760
And so because of that those are the three models that I saw that existed

158
00:11:41.640 --> 00:11:45.560
For people who did not have a following and it was not a consistent acquisition model

159
00:11:45.560 --> 00:11:51.640
And so I could not put my weight behind it because I knew that if I would implement one two or three or all three of those together

160
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:55.400
The vast majority of the people in our community would not succeed

161
00:11:56.040 --> 00:11:58.360
Period, it is what it is all right

162
00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:59.640
so

163
00:11:59.640 --> 00:12:04.440
The reason I like the model that we have now is that after all the trial and error that we've been able to create

164
00:12:04.920 --> 00:12:06.760
We can start a new business

165
00:12:07.400 --> 00:12:09.400
Which is essentially what this is

166
00:12:09.400 --> 00:12:10.680
overnight

167
00:12:10.680 --> 00:12:18.440
Because in a semi-regional marketplace so it the same state is you you have a certain amount of trust that exists

168
00:12:19.800 --> 00:12:21.960
With a free trial front end

169
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:26.440
It does not require a tremendous amount of skill in order for you to sell it or

170
00:12:27.160 --> 00:12:31.960
Scale the sales to someone else try and outsource a three thousand dollar high to get fitness sale

171
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:34.920
You're not going to be able to do it well. I can promise you all right

172
00:12:34.920 --> 00:12:39.880
If you're having trouble outsourcing a two hundred dollar sale try outsourcing a three thousand dollar sale. It's not gonna happen

173
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:46.600
Hey, if you're a return listener and you have not rated or reviewed the show

174
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:51.160
I want you to know that you should feel absolutely terrible about yourself and everything else in the world

175
00:12:51.160 --> 00:12:51.960
I'm kidding

176
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.600
But it would mean the absolute words to me if you guys would go ahead and do that

177
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:57.240
You don't even have to pause to show you keep listening and you can just do it with your thumb right now

178
00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:01.800
It'll take you less than 60 seconds and like I said the only way that podcast grows through word of

179
00:13:01.800 --> 00:13:07.160
mouth and this is you joining hands with me and helping as many entrepreneurs as we possibly can because no one is coming to save us

180
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:10.840
It's just us all right, so please go do that now and let's get back to the show

181
00:13:14.920 --> 00:13:16.200
So

182
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.360
The front end we know that the acquisition is easier because we have unlimited leads

183
00:13:20.680 --> 00:13:26.120
That's massive for consistency of business operations and for consistency of cash flow, all right

184
00:13:26.680 --> 00:13:29.480
On the sales side or so on the lead nurture side

185
00:13:29.640 --> 00:13:33.160
Alan has already solved this problem at scale up to this point

186
00:13:33.400 --> 00:13:42.280
You couldn't get 800 leads a thousand leads a month and have any any any dream of being able to work that lead flow without two to three full-time people

187
00:13:42.520 --> 00:13:47.800
Not going to happen right with Alan. We can do that and we can set the price at fixed

188
00:13:47.800 --> 00:13:51.800
So you always know what it costs to get a new customer right on the phone period

189
00:13:52.760 --> 00:14:00.760
For the sale itself for a free trial sale someone with very very low skill set can still sell a free trial on the phone

190
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:07.880
It is such a low risk offer and so the magic of the model is the fact that we have now found out after this whole community has tried and tested it

191
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:12.120
That the trainer as app that we've built out my account ability right

192
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:18.440
When paired with a free trial person in the model that we espoused which is supplement sale number one

193
00:14:18.920 --> 00:14:27.800
And then abandon hope number two right both of those sales are easy enough that you can scale them and break even or come close to it on the first transaction

194
00:14:28.040 --> 00:14:34.440
And then by day 30 you will be able to convert those customers at the same price as you were able to before in a gym setting

195
00:14:34.520 --> 00:14:40.200
Except you have far more of them you acquired them for less and they're staying at a higher profit margin

196
00:14:40.280 --> 00:14:41.880
You no longer have to do sessions

197
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:49.000
There's no rent that you're that you're you're forced to do and ultimately there are many of you who over the last month have built out

198
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.200
Three or four thousand dollars a month recurring revenue. That's in 30 days

199
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:59.880
Right for those of you like Marcia and hopefully did me to color out here. She's built up 40 thousand dollars in recurring revenue

200
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:04.440
Rawls built out another 40 thousand dollars in recurring revenue. She's been doing it as well

201
00:15:04.760 --> 00:15:05.320
All right

202
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:08.440
This model if you give it one month two month three months four months

203
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:16.200
It is going to be far superior to the the revenue and profit that you were able to make it the gym except it has no signs of slowing down

204
00:15:16.920 --> 00:15:19.720
Right, you do not have to be constrained by your geographic

205
00:15:20.520 --> 00:15:25.800
Five mile radius if you've had the desire to impact your community in a much bigger way

206
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:32.760
If you've had the desire to not be constrained to the five miles around the location of your gym that's only

207
00:15:33.160 --> 00:15:34.120
uh

208
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:44.440
valuable to you when your ads are converting because you have the combination of ads copying creative and placements that are actually working in this specific market at that time with the promotion made which is real talk how it works, right

209
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:56.680
If instead of having all that you can virtually have an unlimited front end and all you have to do is tweak the skills on the back end that you can consistently create because there's only three roles that exist in the model

210
00:15:57.160 --> 00:16:00.440
personally sells the trial up front the coach

211
00:16:01.800 --> 00:16:10.200
And that's it right and there's you as the owner and so as long as you and if you wanted to add skill you could have one person does all three right

212
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:14.200
um, but the point is is that each of these roles getting someone to sell free trial

213
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:18.120
It's not difficult getting someone to convert on the same day off where they don't even have to pay on that day

214
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:22.920
Which is like hey normally it's 59 today. It's 49 you don't have to say yes right now or so you don't have to pay right now

215
00:16:22.920 --> 00:16:26.280
To say yes right now you need to charge a file many people can make that sale

216
00:16:26.920 --> 00:16:28.920
For the nutrition hey

217
00:16:28.920 --> 00:16:31.880
Don't need to buy all these things. I changed you get this stuff to get started

218
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:35.880
All right great most people can make that sale these sales are not complicated

219
00:16:36.040 --> 00:16:39.320
But can be done at absolutely massive scale and retain a customer

220
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:44.680
At a two thousand hour price point where you can acquire them in high volume very consistently

221
00:16:45.160 --> 00:16:46.920
All right, and so I need everyone

222
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:53.080
So I wanted to at least clarify this for everyone in terms of where gym watches position is in this marketplace

223
00:16:53.400 --> 00:16:55.400
We are going to be serving gym owners

224
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.640
And we're going to be serving gym owners in the way that we know best

225
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:01.160
And we're going to line ourselves with the model that's going to make them the most money and very

226
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.480
Transparenly, I'm going to be doing this

227
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:08.760
Because I believe that I would like to serve a marketplace that's going to grow and make the most money because the more money

228
00:17:08.760 --> 00:17:15.000
You make the more money I make and you know that I'm a capitalist at heart and always have been transparent about my intentions

229
00:17:15.080 --> 00:17:19.880
Right, my goal is to run a profitable wildly profitable business that grows fast

230
00:17:20.280 --> 00:17:22.120
Right, and so to that end

231
00:17:23.080 --> 00:17:30.920
If I'm going to be to be space I have to align with a model that I believe has the highest likelihood of success and profitable growth for my customers

232
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:33.400
And so for the foreseeable future

233
00:17:34.120 --> 00:17:36.120
That is where gym launch is going to be focused

234
00:17:36.120 --> 00:17:40.520
We're going to be focused on bringing the online revenue to everybody here

235
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:43.080
And I can tell you that if you have been on the fence

236
00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:47.480
It is not going to get easier if you're if you're if you're clinging to in person

237
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:49.320
It is not going to get easier

238
00:17:49.320 --> 00:17:52.920
Now, is there anyone in this marketplace that I believe is better at running in person?

239
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.120
No, why? Because they all bought my book to try and build their whole

240
00:17:56.120 --> 00:18:01.960
Tim coaching program, right? Like the business the business mentality the business models behind that system

241
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:08.360
Are running in parallel. We're using the exact same skill sets the exact same choreography of sales

242
00:18:08.360 --> 00:18:12.040
The only thing that's changing is that we're filling through an happens that have been in person workout

243
00:18:12.120 --> 00:18:17.640
That's it. That's all the changing and so if you have the same $5,000 to spend on marketing

244
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:23.560
If you spend that same $5,000 inner for online clients you will make more money

245
00:18:24.840 --> 00:18:31.800
Simply put it is easier right now to get 50 new online clients than it is to get 50 in person clients

246
00:18:32.280 --> 00:18:36.520
And I don't see that trend changing anytime for the rest of 2020

247
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:42.920
All right, and the thing is is what I do feel is known is that the rest of 2020 is going to be shit for gyms in general

248
00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:50.680
What is unknown is whether 2021 is going to get any better and so it's I feel like I've been I've been holding this back

249
00:18:51.320 --> 00:18:54.120
Um, I've been hinting at it. I've been alluding to it

250
00:18:54.520 --> 00:18:57.320
But I have not been able to be transparent in the fact that I

251
00:18:57.880 --> 00:18:59.960
Believe this is the best model for this community

252
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:05.080
I've been always loyal to gym owners and I believe that this is the best opportunity vehicle for you

253
00:19:06.040 --> 00:19:13.000
To package your skills serve your community serve your family and in terms of ROI on your time and your capital

254
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:16.920
And the skills that you need to train your team on this model

255
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:22.200
I believe is more scalable more profitable and we'll have higher ROI over the next six to 12 months

256
00:19:23.080 --> 00:19:25.080
Then the in-person model

257
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:30.280
The the fallout questions that happen as a result of that is well, what do I do with my my in-person business?

258
00:19:30.760 --> 00:19:33.160
So there's something called a sunk cost fallacy in economics

259
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.080
Which basically means because I've invested xyz before this moment

260
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:43.960
I'm going to use that to cloud the current decision at hand, right? And so it's like if I've spent

261
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:47.000
Ah, I'm trying to um

262
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:52.920
Hopefully everyone knows what sunk cost is, but it's basically you have a you have a you've made an investment that is irrelevant

263
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:55.960
In the in the variables of the current decision in front of you

264
00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:57.720
Right

265
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:02.120
And you're using that like I committed to you know like I spent money on xyz and

266
00:20:02.760 --> 00:20:04.760
All right, hopefully you get the point

267
00:20:05.080 --> 00:20:07.800
That being said if you still need to make decisions about it

268
00:20:07.800 --> 00:20:11.000
You have a couple of different versions that you can handle this with all right

269
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:15.000
One is that you can simply walk away from your gym and deal with the ramifications of that

270
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.200
I don't think that the court systems I don't think that

271
00:20:18.520 --> 00:20:24.840
Evictions and creditors are going to be hitting hard on businesses that so clearly were affected by this

272
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:29.880
I think that we'll have if there's ever a time that you'd be able to get out of a lease this would be it

273
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:35.720
This would be the time where you would be able to get out virtually scot free and many of you already have

274
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:43.320
The second solution is that you make enough money in the online setting that you can pay for it because if you think about it

275
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:48.360
You have the same five thousand dollars that you're going to spend you have you're going to have to spend it on whatever business

276
00:20:48.360 --> 00:20:54.760
You're doing right if you spent it on the superior opportunity vehicle you will make more net money doing that

277
00:20:55.000 --> 00:21:00.040
And then you can still like you will make more money doing that even though you have this gym as your anchor

278
00:21:00.600 --> 00:21:05.960
If you spent five thousand trying to fill the gym up because you have it versus spending five thousand dollars on something else

279
00:21:06.120 --> 00:21:10.920
You will make more money and still be able to cover the cost better because the opportunity vehicle is superior

280
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:15.240
Think about let it sink in right and so

281
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:17.720
Anyways

282
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:19.160
My entire

283
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:24.360
My entire goal is always to make people the most money possible is to get this to give them the freedom they want

284
00:21:24.360 --> 00:21:28.520
Give them the security they desire and I believe that this is the best way for us as a company to do that

285
00:21:28.760 --> 00:21:30.920
And so all of my focus will be to that end

286
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:36.200
I do think that we are actually on the precipice and we're currently in a golden opportunity error

287
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:40.200
Where there's this huge amount of demand for online services and there's not a lot of supply

288
00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:44.440
I don't know how long that window is going to happen before the people that take action now

289
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:48.680
Most of you already have but if you were on the fence this is the time

290
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:50.600
To take that action

291
00:21:50.600 --> 00:21:55.480
What you don't know is that many of our seven figure gym owners the top guys you see in this group have pivoted a hundred percent online

292
00:21:56.120 --> 00:21:58.440
Some of the guys you hear me talk about their names all the time

293
00:21:58.600 --> 00:22:03.880
They've already sold their gyms and they've pivoted a hundred percent to just going on because they sell all the math

294
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:08.600
They didn't let their emotions cloud the judgment now understand that everyone listening to this as human makes emotions

295
00:22:08.840 --> 00:22:13.320
Emotional decisions and then puts logic to them later. So then let me just speak to your emotions

296
00:22:14.040 --> 00:22:15.880
If you have the desire for more security

297
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:20.280
If you have the desire for less unknowns in the future if you have the desire to not have to worry about acquisition

298
00:22:20.280 --> 00:22:24.760
Not worry about where your next customer is coming from worry of whether or not your lead cost is getting too

299
00:22:24.760 --> 00:22:26.600
I worry about whether you're going to have to have

300
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:30.440
Just another creative another home run has saved the month, right?

301
00:22:31.080 --> 00:22:34.920
If you if you don't want to have those concerns, right? You want to be able to travel with your family

302
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.560
You want to be able to leave your gym for God's sake, you know

303
00:22:37.560 --> 00:22:39.480
I didn't take a vacation for five years

304
00:22:39.560 --> 00:22:41.400
I never even left because I was so afraid

305
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:48.120
I went back for for Christmas and every single year for three straight years came back after two days because I couldn't handle the stress of being gone

306
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.680
All right, and so if you don't want to deal with that

307
00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:53.320
I do believe that there is a time window that we're in right now

308
00:22:53.800 --> 00:23:02.120
Where the entire marketplace understands now what online training is and there is a massive massive shortage of professionals who have the skill set

309
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:09.640
Like gym owners, right? Like us. We are all very experienced fitness professionals if you compare us to some guy who's interested in fitness on Instagram

310
00:23:10.040 --> 00:23:11.640
Right or compare us to

311
00:23:12.600 --> 00:23:14.600
Even even through some of your trainers, right?

312
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:19.720
We are more experienced than they are and so if you want to do the market a favor

313
00:23:20.520 --> 00:23:26.840
Let people work with the best professionals and that's you because they're going to do it anyways, and they might as well work with you

314
00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:28.680
so

315
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:29.720
Anyways

316
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:31.400
To wrap this up

317
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:35.960
That is what all of my direction is going to be on is going to be on executing the model

318
00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:39.880
Because this model now is as clean as a whistle in my opinion

319
00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:45.240
You don't like this thing is as just about as robust as the original gym launch model

320
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:50.120
The front-end offer is compelling. We will always be able to get people to sign up for free things for weight loss

321
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:52.520
Period that is something I can bet on

322
00:23:52.520 --> 00:23:56.760
Second, do I believe that people can sell free trials at scale with low skill? Yes

323
00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:04.920
Do I believe that you can sell supplements to people who want to lose weight in a in a in a one step in upsell environment?

324
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:13.000
Yes, do I believe that getting people to stay on continuity at $49 week $39 week $59 week is something they will do for

325
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:17.320
101 training and support? Yes, do I now believe that people

326
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.920
Prefer or value or get a superior experience from a one-on-one customized

327
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:31.320
meal plan customized workouts and groups online? Yes, I do and because of those beliefs that I have and you may not share those beliefs

328
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:37.320
But I've made some pretty big bets in the past in this space and most of them have been right and so I'm asking you

329
00:24:38.360 --> 00:24:45.720
To at least factor that in if it's something that you're still on the fence about that you at least consider the the argument that I'm giving you right now

330
00:24:46.760 --> 00:24:51.000
Because genuinely my interest is in making you money and so our interests are aligned

331
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:55.720
It's just a question of whether you believe the vehicle that I'm talking about right now is the best way most you've already made this call

332
00:24:56.280 --> 00:24:57.640
but

333
00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:59.640
That is what we're going to be doing with gym launch

334
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.880
And it's been it's been very transparent that the people who run that simple model

335
00:25:04.760 --> 00:25:09.480
Can scale and can make a lot of money because the only thing you really have to do is just make sure

336
00:25:10.120 --> 00:25:14.840
That you're fulfilling the clients using the app that automates 80% of it anyways

337
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:24.920
Um, and that is so much easier than having to worry about trainers sleeping with clients and broken equipment and cleaning out the bathrooms and getting the right music like all of that stuff is gone

338
00:25:25.320 --> 00:25:29.400
Or has the opportunity to be gone if you make the choice um obviously the choices yours

339
00:25:30.040 --> 00:25:35.320
We will support you at gym launch independent of what you choose if you want to rock in person we will help you

340
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:39.240
All right, we've done it and I honestly think you're like having seen and talked to

341
00:25:39.800 --> 00:25:46.280
Most of the people in this industry with half of them being ex clients of mine slash ex employees of mine right with half of them being that

342
00:25:46.520 --> 00:25:51.720
I can tell you without any drop of doubt in my mind that we are by far

343
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.840
The best not even close like there's not like oh, yeah, we're like we are ages

344
00:25:56.840 --> 00:26:00.440
We are eons above and the proof of that if they were as good at businesses

345
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:04.040
We are then they would be bigger than us, but they are not and so I would say

346
00:26:04.760 --> 00:26:07.320
Trust the people who've been doing this the longest and doing this the best of the biggest

347
00:26:08.040 --> 00:26:09.880
Biggest reach and biggest data set

348
00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:11.720
All right, if you want to stay in person

349
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:13.880
We will try and set you up for the best success

350
00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:14.920
But

351
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:20.120
Given your skill set and your desires and your and your your wants and needs

352
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:21.960
I think that that same

353
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:28.120
Skill set desires and beliefs will be better packaged in this vehicle the question is just whether or not you want to take the jump

354
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:29.400
All right

355
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:31.880
So anyways for those you have made the jump I think you made the right

356
00:26:32.520 --> 00:26:37.320
The right the right call hopefully this entire video is just reinforcing that belief for those you have made that jump

357
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:39.720
For those of you not hopefully this

358
00:26:40.280 --> 00:26:45.160
At least give you some transparency in a why we're going to be talking more about online why it's going to be my focus

359
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:52.680
And all the clients that we're going to be bringing in are all going to be gyms who want to go online and or you know experience fitness professionals who want to go online and scale

360
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:57.720
Because now for the first time ever that's possible right you couldn't do this without an authority

361
00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:02.920
You couldn't do this without a following before this but now you can so um that is

362
00:27:04.040 --> 00:27:07.960
That is my perspective. Um, I hope that fides value to you. I hope that provides clarity

363
00:27:08.360 --> 00:27:12.680
I'm in the direction of our company and where I believe that the fitness industry is going and where we're going to be aligning

364
00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:15.400
um our company and we do that because

365
00:27:16.600 --> 00:27:20.120
We want to align on the winning side and I think that that is going to be the winning side

366
00:27:20.520 --> 00:27:21.400
um

367
00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:26.120
No one 50 years from now would say right if you think about it no 20 years from now be like man

368
00:27:27.080 --> 00:27:32.520
Who would have thought that in person gyms? We're going to survive this long right that online fitness was not going to be bigger

369
00:27:33.080 --> 00:27:34.840
10 years from now that it is now

370
00:27:34.840 --> 00:27:38.360
Right? I don't think anyone is going to make that argument and so I think that it's um

371
00:27:38.360 --> 00:27:43.640
It was time for me to make that that make that line in the sand for us as a business of what we are going to focus on

372
00:27:44.120 --> 00:27:47.160
Um, and that is what we are going to focus on so anyways

373
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:51.000
Lots of love um as always we're still going to release plays

374
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:54.920
We're going to release you know the stuff that we do to um to help gyms because that is what we've always done

375
00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:59.160
But I just want to be honest about what I see so that you can be on the same page as me

376
00:27:59.560 --> 00:28:01.880
So lots of love having amazing Monday amazing week

377
00:28:04.840 --> 00:28:07.320
You
