    Scaling Gym Revenue With Better Lead Follow-Up | Episode 134.

    If strangers are opting in but not showing up, you do not need new ads. You need a new system.  Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach. Episode Highlights In today's episode, Sherman and Tommy get blunt about why paid ads are not the magic fix gym owners hope for. They walk through the real work of turning a flood of leads into steady revenue, why relying on referrals and organic hits a hard ceiling, and how to think like an owner who wants a sellable asset, not just a busy gym job. Sherman shares his own story of running a profitable gym that was tough to exit, while Tommy breaks down the math and execution behind opening a second location in Houston at around 30k a month from day one. From there, they introduce Relay, a lead nurture system built with AI and human setters that plugs into Lasso’s paid marketing so gym owners can stop burning out their best coaches and still get people to show up ready to buy.  Episode Outline Introduction to Gym Marketing Made Simple Podcast Challenges in Lead Nurturing and Follow-Up The Role of Paid Advertising in Gym Growth Case Study: Opening a Second Location Introduction to Relay and Its Benefits Implementation and Results of Relay Conclusion and Future Plans Episode Chapters 00:00 Coaches, Sales, and the Real Burnout Problem 00:16 Gym Marketing Made Simple Intro 00:41 Why Paid Ads Are Not a Magic Fix 02:31 How Paid Ads in Fitness Have Evolved 04:45 The Ceiling of Organic and Referrals Only 07:45 Sherman’s Gym: Profitable but Hard to Sell 10:29 Deciding to Scale With Multiple Locations 13:32 Backing Into the Numbers and 30k Ad Spend 15:09 Opening With 130 Members and 30k Revenue 16:24 Introducing Relay: AI + Human Lead Nurture 19:42 Speed to Lead, AI Fatigue, and Human Handoffs 22:15 Phone Calls, Texting, and Market Differences 24:00 Who Lasso + Relay Is For (30k+ Gyms) 25:51 Onboarding Flow for Relay With Lasso 29:25 Building a Sellable Gym vs. Owning a Job 30:12 Protecting Coaches From Burnout in Sales 32:08 Final Thoughts and Episode Wrap Up Conclusion Leads are not your bottleneck. The gap is in how you treat every person from the minute they click on an ad until the moment they sit across from you. When you respect the math, build real systems, and stop forcing coaches to live in the follow up grind, growth feels a lot less chaotic. That is how you move from owning a busy job to owning something that can run and eventually sell on your terms.  Action Taken Framing paid advertising as a tool that only works when paired with real systems and follow up Positioning Lasso as the engine that delivers steady, quality leads for growth-minded gyms  Introducing Relay as a combined AI and human concierge that:    - Responds quickly to new leads with personalized messaging    - Warms and filters leads, then passes high intent prospects to a real person    - Focuses on booking and confirming appointments that actually show Defining the full Lasso plus Relay stack for gyms doing 30k and above each month  Offering an AI only Relay option for gyms under 30k while they fix operations and basics  Setting up a clear onboarding path where Relay connects to existing Go High Level accounts, cleans up duplicate workflows, and aligns calendars  CTA If you are ready to see what happens when strong paid ads and real follow up work together, book a call with the Lasso team and find out how Lasso and Relay could plug into your gym.  👉 Book a free strategy call: https://www.lassoframework.com/ Thank you for listening.

    How SMART Goals Kill Objections In Your Gym Sales Process | Episode 133.

    Objections usually aren’t a money problem or a timing problem; they’re a “you never dug deep enough into my goals” problem. Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach. Episode Highlights In today’s episode, Jeff Burlingame walks through how to stop settling for “dumb” goals like “I just want to lose weight” and start uncovering real SMART goals that carry actual value for your leads. He shows you how to ask simple questions, follow the thread, and get to three clear goals so selling feels easy, never pushy, and you and your prospect are actually on the same team. Episode Outline Why vague goals create objections SMART goals vs “dumb” goals Breaking down the SMART framework Real SMART goal examples from weight loss Using TED to dig deeper “Follow the thread” approach Locking in numbers and timelines Reality check with simple math The three SMART goals rule Spending time up front to save time later Partnering with the lead as a team Getting the whole staff aligned Episode Chapters 00:00 Intro & Lasso Sponsor Message 00:29 Why SMART Goals Matter In Gym Sales 01:20 Dumb Goals vs SMART Goals 02:22 Breaking Down SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely) 04:05 Using The TED Framework (Tell Me, Explain To Me, Describe To Me) 05:12 Following The Thread Like A Detective 06:20 Turning “Lose Weight” Into A 30-Pound SMART Goal 08:00 Checking If Goals Are Realistic With Simple Math 09:15 Why You Need Three SMART Goals, Not One 10:28 Making Sales Easy, Never Pushy 11:30 Getting Your Whole Team Aligned On SMART Goals 12:25 Lasso Resources, Sales Course, And Office Hours Conclusion When you slow down, ask better questions, and stay with a lead until you uncover three real SMART goals, selling stops feeling like a fight. You know what they want, they see the value in what you offer, and you both walk into the close on the same side of the table. That is where sales get easier, cleaner, and a lot more fun.

    What Serious Gyms Know About Leads, Follow Up, and Real Estate That Others Don’t | Episode 132.

    Most gyms do not have a lead problem. They have a “no one owns follow up,” “our brand doesn’t match our price,” and “we never planned where this thing should live long term” problem. Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach. Episode Highlights In today’s episode, Sherman Merricks and Blake Ruff is joined by, Josh Martin, and Stu Brauer to talk through what they are actually seeing every day with gyms they work with: why ads are not the real issue, how your brand and social need to line up with your prices, what solid follow up looks like, and how smart real estate decisions set your gym up for the next five to ten years. Episode Outline What “shrinkage” in CrossFit and micro gyms really means Why every market goes through boom and squeeze cycles The $200 subscription question and understanding your own pricing Owners acting like consumers vs acting like operators Time horizons: bad weeks vs real quarterly trends Seasonality, spring break, and why some months are always softer How organic social sets the stage for winning ad campaigns The four things your Instagram should show a stranger Why inside jokes and blurry class photos hurt your brand “Bad leads” vs weak sales and follow-up The 40 / 60 / 80 benchmark Sherman’s team uses at Lasso How to treat early leads as sales reps for your team Simple, playful sales language that gets real replies Stu’s path from gym cash flow to owning his building Lease first, then buy, and when to loop in a real estate pro Using events like the Gym Marketing Made Simple event to get real ROI Episode Chapters 00:00 Stop thinking like a consumer, $200 subscription test 01:13 Intro: Gym Marketing Made Simple with Sherman, Blake, Josh & Stu 02:00 Industry “shrinkage,” CrossFit, and market cycles 06:07 Owners, time horizons, and “bad month” panic 08:55 Seasonality, spring break, and realistic expectations 12:08 Social media that actually backs up your ads 18:05 “Bad leads” vs bad sales and weak follow up 24:02 Lead benchmarks: 40/60/80 and cold vs warm traffic 29:23 Stu’s real estate play and buying the building 38:06 Why Stu’s speaking at the event and how to connect with him Conclusion Sherman, Blake, Josh, and Stu lay out the gap between what most gym owners think is broken and what is really going on. The gyms that stop blaming Facebook, stop calling everything a “bad lead,” and start owning their numbers, their follow-up, their look and feel, and their lease are the ones that stay in the game when everybody else taps out. CTA If you want better leads, better closes, and a plan for where your gym is going to live next, subscribe to Gym Marketing Made Simple, share this with another owner who needs it, and book a call with the Lasso team so we can help you tighten up the whole system front to back. 👉 Book a free strategy call: https://www.lassoframework.com/ Thank you for spending time with us and actually working on the business, not just in it.

    How Gym Owners Can Scale With Better Hiring, Role Clarity, and Leadership Systems | Episode 131.

    Gym owners don’t get stuck because they lack tactics; they get stuck when they can’t clearly define what winning looks like for every role, hire to that standard, and lead people in a way that matches how they’re actually wired. Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show that cuts through the noise surrounding gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach. Episode Highlights In today’s episode, Sherman Merricks and Blake Ruff sit down with former CrossFit owner turned business strategist Brian Alexander to break down how serious gym owners can use behavioral data, clear roles, and big-picture goals to build gyms that grow without burning them out. You’ll hear how Brian went from a 17,000 sq ft gym and a failed second location to coaching companies with revenue between $ 5 million and $ 30 million. He explains why most hiring efforts fail, why job descriptions are often ineffective, and how tools like the Predictive Index and the Pinnacle Business Operating System help gym owners align their teams, set the right goals, and think beyond “just not losing.” Episode Outline Brian’s Journey from Sales to CrossFit to Business Coaching What Brian Does for Gym Owners and Lasso Hiring: Right People, Right Seats, Right Stage of Business Designing Roles That Actually Drive Results Inside the Pinnacle Group for High-Level Gym Owners Self-Awareness, Leadership, and Behavioral Data Why Brian Coaches Through Questions, Not Prescriptions Hard Lessons from a Second Location That Almost Cost Everything The Nashville Event and Predictive Index On-Site Episode Chapters 00:00 Intro & show setup 00:41 Meet Brian Alexander 01:16 Brian’s journey from sales to gym owner to coach 04:15 How Brian helps Lasso and gym owners 07:07 Building role clarity and hiring with Job Targets 14:16 Inside the Pinnacle Group for high-level gym owners 22:08 Self-awareness, leadership, and Predictive Index 35:00 Brian’s gym growth story to 17,000 sq ft 41:35 Second location failure and key lessons 42:44 Nashville event, how to connect with Brian, outro Action Taken Pinnacle Group Positioning Clarified that the Pinnacle Group is for gym owners doing 30k+/month who want a higher-level strategy around growth, hiring, and leadership. Event Promotion Highlighted the upcoming Nashville event, where: Brian will speak on leadership, roles, and hiring Attendees will get their Predictive Index on their event badge for live discussion and networking Conclusion Brian Alexander shows that the real leverage in gym growth is not another tactic or ad campaign, it’s clarity about roles, alignment of people to those roles, and a vision big enough to pull the whole team forward. From his own wins and failures as a gym owner to his work with multi-million-dollar companies, the message is consistent: know where you’re going, define what winning looks like for every seat, and use real data—not guesses—to put the right people in the right roles.

    How CrossFit Gyms Win in 2026: Marketing, Leads, and Revenue with Andrew Charlesworth | Episode 130.

    Your training might be world-class, but the market only sees the gyms that know how to sell. If you’re still relying on word-of-mouth in 2026, you’re playing a game that’s already changed. Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show that cuts through the noise surrounding gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach. Episode Highlights In today’s episode, Sherman and Blake sit down with Andrew Charlesworth, Midwest Regional Affiliate Representative, to break down what it really takes for CrossFit and boutique gym owners to win in today’s hyper-competitive market. They dig into why old-school “open and pray” approaches stopped working, how to think clearly about leads and paid marketing, and what separates profitable, sustainable gyms from owners who are burnt out, broke, and blaming CrossFit HQ. Episode Outline Andrew’s role as Midwest Regional Affiliate Rep Why a direct line to HQ matters for affiliates Starting a gym in 2026 vs 2013 Competing with franchises and large marketing budgets Why great coaching alone no longer drives growth The necessity of strategic marketing plans What a lead actually is Realistic conversion rates for cold traffic Lead nurture, speed-to-contact, and follow-up systems Owners’ emotional reactions to normal business cycles Debt, lifestyle pressure, and unrealistic revenue demands How big franchises track and manage sales performance Facility standards and visual branding expectations Using professional media and AI on a budget How AI and new search behavior will affect local discovery The power of niche positioning in crowded markets Examples of niche strategies that attract the right members Details of the Nashville November event and who it’s for How to contact Andrew and join his weekly business calls Episode Chapters 00:00 Intro to Gym Marketing Made Simple & guest Andrew 00:50 Andrew’s role as Midwest Regional Affiliate Rep 02:45 How starting a gym in 2026 differs from 2013 04:20 Competing with big-box and franchise marketing 06:10 Why “if you build it, they will come” no longer works 08:05 Strategic marketing and weekly business calls 11:50 Risk, return, and realistic expectations for ads 15:10 What a lead really is and industry-standard close rates 26:00 Branding, facility standards, and social media presence 30:40 Niching down and why the riches are in the niches 31:50 Nashville event details and who should attend 38:10 How to contact Andrew & closing remarks Action Taken Promoted the November 7–8 Nashville event for gym owners doing ~$15–20k+/month who want to grow revenue in 2027. Commit to 12–18 months of consistent marketing instead of short-term testing. Reinvest in professional media, cleaner facilities, and tighter branding. Treat lead nurture, speed-to-contact, and follow-up as core business systems. Conclusion The message is blunt but freeing: your coaching certificate isn’t the problem. The market changed. Starting in a garage, relying on word-of-mouth, and avoiding real marketing might have worked in 2013. In 2026, you’re up against franchises with serious budgets, clean branding, and tight systems. The gyms that win aren’t guessing; they know their numbers, invest in lead flow, nurture consistently, and build a brand that actually looks worth the price they’re charging.

    Selling gym memberships doesn’t have to feel pushy when you know deep down that enrolling someone is the first step to changing their life.  Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach.

He walks through simple questions every gym owner and coach must answer before they pick up the phone, and shares a practical mantra that makes sales calls feel more like helping a friend than closing a deal. Episode Outline Why mindset makes or breaks gym sales. Four core belief questions:  - Does what you sell work?  - Do you believe in what you sell?  - Do you believe in yourself?  - Will this specifically help your ideal client?

When you’re clear that your service works, you believe in it, you believe in yourself, and you know exactly who it’s for, every sales call turns into a chance to guide someone to their starting line. With a simple mantra to ground you after both wins and losses, you can show up positive, present, and curious—making it easier to pick up the phone, connect with leads, and enroll the right people into your gym.

    Structured Sales Conversations for Gyms: How to Turn Intros into New Members | Episode 127.

    Stop giving gym tours and hoping people sign up. Start running sales conversations that almost naturally lead to “Yes.”  Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach. Episode Highlights In today’s episode, Jeff Burlingame breaks down a simple, repeatable “structured conversation” that turns random gym introductions into intentional sales appointments, creating momentum, revealing real goals, and helping prospects decide to start now.  Episode Outline Why every gym needs a point A–to–point B sales framework, not a loose chat or casual tour   The concept of “momentum of agreement” and why prospects should be saying “yes” all along the way . Ideal appointment length (30–45 minutes) and why too short or too long costs you sales   How to build rapport through questions, active listening, and using the prospect’s name with intention   The power of being the person who asks the most questions in any interaction   What SMART goals really look like in a gym setting and why “I want to get stronger” isn’t enough   How to dig for at least two to three SMART goals with clear, specific follow-up questions   Desire and urgency as the two non‑negotiables behind every sale   Why “budget” is often a defense mechanism—and how true desire makes people find a way   Using future pacing to paint the “joy state” once goals are achieved   Exploring the “pain state”: what happens if nothing changes and goals are never hit   Tying joy and pain together to unlock emotional drive and help prospects commit   Episode Chapters 00:00 Intro and show setup 00:29 Why every gym needs a structured sales conversation 02:10 Moving from casual gym tours to intentional sales frameworks 03:30 Building rapport: blind date mindset and appointment length 05:15 Active listening, asking better questions, and using names 07:00 SMART goals: going deeper than “I want to get stronger” 08:30 Why desire and urgency drive every sale (budgets as defense) 10:15 Unlocking desire with future pacing and “joy state” 12:30 Exploring the “pain state” if nothing changes Action Taken Create a documented structured conversation framework for gym intro or no-sweat appointments that:   Moves prospects from first hello to clear yes/no Targets a 30–45 minute average appointment length Builds momentum of agreement throughout   Build a rapport-training checklist for staff that focuses on:   Asking the most questions in the room Practicing active listening Using names frequently and naturally Relying on open-ended follow-ups (“Tell me more about that…”) Add a requirement to collect at least three SMART goals from every prospect and script the exact questions to get them Design question prompts to unlock desire and urgency, including:   Future pacing (joy state): What life looks and feels like when goals are achieved Pain state: What it costs them if nothing changes   Conclusion A predictable gym sales engine starts with a clear, structured conversation. When you stop giving casual tours and start leading prospects through a framework that builds rapport, clarifies SMART goals, and ties those goals to both joy and pain, the decision to join becomes much easier. With the right questions and flow, you’re not pushing people—you’re guiding them to a confident “yes” at the true beginning of their fitness journey with you.
