    Ep 20 - How Sean Carroll & James Batey Rebranded Their CrossFit Gym to Serve Busy Parents ... and Grew 140% – Even During COVID-19

    Sean Carroll and James Batey, owners of Rebuild Health and Fitness, Brisbane, QLD, Australia, thought their business relied too much on their own efforts. They were always on the gym floor, or finding and signing up clients, and otherwise IN the business all the time.  The good news was they were making money. But there were no systems and the business wasn’t organized. They came to NPE for clarity, systems, and organization.  With NPE, one of the first things they realized was their ideal client avatar needed adjustment. Professionals with children became the new client avatar.  They rebranded the business and changed their programming to provide massive value to professionals with children. Client retention went way up, and they were able to charge more for their services.  When COVID-19 hit, instead of shutting the business down, they saw it as a huge opportunity.  They installed a new sales system and made premium offers to their new ideal clients. When Sean and James reopened their business, they signed up 38 people in the first month and their business grew 140% from the previous 12 months (even during COVID-19). In this episode, you’ll learn: How Sean and James started their journey as studio/gym ownersThe importance of getting a clear vision of who you want to serveHow aligning your messaging and programming to an ideal client attracts more of the best people and allows you to serve them betterHow getting disciplined about numbers leads to higher levels of successHow they recognized their strengths and leveraged them as leaders How they decided to shift their focus during COVID-19 and took massive actions for re-openingHow having a business coach made a difference in their journey to successAnd much, much more ...  Hosted on Acast.

    Ep 19 – How Hassan Abdallah Rebranded Away From Crossfit and Raised Revenues and Profit On Reopening After COVID-19

    Hassan Abdallah owned a CrossFit gym in Kogarah, NSW, Australia. But he began to wonder if he was selling his business short … While young people and the athletes loved his CrossFit gym, other people needed more attention.  The pandemic lockdown offered him an opportunity to work through the details. Working with his NPE coaches, he rebranded his business.  He shifted his business model from group training to personal/small group training. He switched from CrossFit athletes to busy professionals and parents. That allowed him to give individual clients more time and attention, with extra programming and nutrition coaching.  In fact, he capped the total member base for his business to 85 (as opposed to 98 prior to the pandemic and a high of 120).  With a greater client experience/quality of service to offer, he was able to raise his rates. That improved profitability, and even during the pandemic, he was able to bring in more revenue (from $28k ‘before’ to $32k ‘after’).  Now the business is running near full capacity and he’s more confident than ever about the future of his business and his ability to serve his clients. In this episode, you’ll learn: The keys to success when you’re rebranding your fitness business, shifting your services, and how to effectively communicate with your clientsThe benefits of downsizing your classes and focusing on delivering extreme value to clientsThe power of practicing faith and realizing your vision of your business is possible despite obstaclesHow Hassan and his team overcame the fear of salesHow to stay engaged with your clients so they can see results and stick around longerThe importance of being open to feedback from your coaches, asking your community for help, and pivoting when necessary to allow yourself to grow personally and professionallyAnd much much more…  Hosted on Acast.

    Ep. 17 – How Tim Frey Ignored His Critics, Changed His Model, Raised His Rates, and Had His Best Month Ever – During COVID-19

    Tim Frey, the owner of Helix Gym, Perth, Australia, had signed up with NPE and nearly doubled his business in the first 3 months of 2020, to $12k a week ($48k/month). The success felt amazing and he was ready to keep growing.  Then COVID-19 hit and the government declared restrictions, throwing the fitness industry as a whole and his gym in particular into chaos. His business model had included a powerful experience of group training classes of 40 people or so, with lots of music and energy. With the new distancing requirements, he was only allowed 9 people in the gym at a time.  Listen now to hear how Tim:  Transitioned his business model away from group training and into semi-private training involving 9 people at most. Changed his pricing so that fewer people would pay more money and increase profitability. Increased client value so that clients would be willing to pay the premium rates.Got help with sales from his staff, because he could not manage all of these things and sell at the same timeAnd much much more. Finally, when Tim came up with an action plan, he had to overcome the objections of … well, almost everyone else except his head coach.  He took a leap of faith and went for it. He changed his business model to semi-private with 9 people in the gym at a time; he raised his rates 30%; he trained his staff on the sales process; and he increased value to clients.  Result: After a couple of months, things began to rapidly improve. Tim’s business had its best month ever, and Tim didn’t do any of the selling.  In this episode, you’ll learn: How Tim overcame his fear and focused on the sales and the numbers during COVID-19How he transitioned from group training to semi-private trainingHow he created more value for his clients (which became a vital turning point for the business)How he trained his staff members on the sales process and hit his best month ever in salesThe importance of practicing faith no matter what your peers say How he raised his rates and communicated with his clients and staffWhy his leadership development as a fitness business owner had such an impact on his businessWhy it mattered so much to have a coach who has achieved success and knows how to overcome similar challenges And much more… Hosted on Acast.

    Ep 16 – How COVID Space Restrictions Led Raphael Freedman and Lachlan Rowston to a More Profitable Business Model, with Great Revenues, Happier Clients and Staff

    Raphael Freedman and Lachlan Rowston are known for their 300+-episode strong podcast, The Mind Muscle Project. They’re also known for their Sydney, Australia-based gym Creature Fitness, which since they joined NPE, grew from one to three locations and increased revenues to more than $1 million a year. There was a problem: Their business model was based on group training, and that was suffering from increasing commoditization. Competitors such as F45, CrossFit, and Orange Theory were flooding the market with group training offers, and putting pressure downward on prices.  Raph and Lach were looking for a way out of the race to the bottom. They wanted to be able to charge premium prices, but they weren’t sure of the business model that made the most sense.  Then COVID-19 hit and they were forced to shut down from March to June. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. With their NPE coach, they set to work strategizing.  When they reopened under new space restrictions, they had a new model in place: Semi-Private Training for high-end clients willing to pay higher prices for greater value. They delivered customized programming to create specific results aligned to the goals of each client.  Within a couple of months, their revenues are back to where they were before they were shut down. But they are more profitable, have happier staff, and serve their clients better.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
