    She Made $6K in 60 Days With 1 Hyrox Class Per Week

    Gym owner Lauren DiSessa’s weekly HYROX class has generated $6,000 in revenue in just two months, and she’s not even charging members extra for it. How’d she do it? Two-Brain CEO John Franklin gets the full scoop from Lauren today on “Run a Profitable Gym.” Lauren walks through her V1 mistakes—treating HYROX as an afterthought with no real launch strategy—and explains what she did differently the second time around: a high-energy open house that drew 40 people, 70% of whom were non-members who paid to train at her gym. She breaks down her pricing structure for drop-ins, class packs and full race simulations, and reveals the three things every gym owner needs to launch HYROX successfully: 1. Someone genuinely passionate about the sport 2. A dedicated class time that gives the program its own identity 3. The right equipment to attract serious athletes. Lauren also shares how the program is pulling in a steady stream of prospects every single week and why even converting just one or two of them into full members each month is a bigger deal than it sounds. Tune in to find out how a single Saturday morning class is quickly becoming one of the smartest revenue moves Lauren has ever made.

    Should Your Gym Become a HYROX Affiliate?

    Are you sleeping on HYROX? That's a mistake. In this episode, Two-Brain CEO John Franklin and founder Chris Cooper discuss the hottest thing in fitness right now: HYROX. John, fresh off a race in Miami Beach, had nothing but praise for the event, and Chris Cooper suggests the races give your members a reason to keep training and way to find success and smiles outside the gym. The best part? HYROX affiliation fees for gyms are low—about US$150 a month—so it's easy to get huge ROI, if you have a plan.  No plan? No ROI. Solid plan? Huge ROI is possible. For example, one Two-Brain gym generates $12,500 a month in HYROX revenue, and another added $100,000 in annual revenue just by setting up two HYROX training sessions a week. Chris and John dig into the details to help you determine if a HYROX program is right for your gym, even if you're a CrossFit affiliate. Newsflash: CrossFit gyms don't need to be scared of HYROX; the program is complementary.  Check out this discussion, and if you want to take the next step, "The Complete Guide to HYROX Affiliation for Gym Owners" is available if you DM Chris Cooper through our Gym Owners United group, linked below.

    The Future Is Niche: Specialization for the Win in Your Gym Biz

    The future belongs to gyms that specialize. The data proves it: Small group training has a 7% higher profit margin than large group training, and length of engagement in niche gyms is double the industry average. Today on “Run a Profitable Gym,” Chris Cooper lays out how niching down will transform your gym. Yes, you can find and own a niche without kicking out existing clients. When you niche down, everything gets easier: Marketing becomes crystal clear, referrals become automatic, your schedule shrinks, facility costs drop, staffing simplifies, and retention skyrockets. Generic “fitness for everyone” gyms compete on price and lose. Specialized gyms charge premium rates and win. Stop trying to be everything to everyone. Find your people and serve them exceptionally well.
