What is the enemy of progress

12 years ago I was an Area Manager for the company that ran the Personal Training brand for health club chains such at JJB (as was), LA Fitness and various others.
I had about 20 clubs across ranging from Macclesfield to Newcastle (Upon Tyne unfortunately), Oldham to Hull and everything inbetween for which I was responsible for the recruitment, training and support of their Personal Trainers.
When you are PT in a club there are two basic models.
1. You are on a percentage split with the club on what the member pays for PT – often 60:40
2. You pay a set ‘rent’ per month and anything you take is yours to keep
When I’ve PTd in clubs I’ve only ever gone for the rental option.
As, when you hit a target number of sessions, it works out more like 80:20 or better.
The percentage split model only works better if you aren’t able to get enough clients.
And who wants a system that, essentially, rewards lower performance?
Often though people coming in for interview would have concerns about the rent.
Understandably.
A set outgoing where there’s no guarantee of even matching that, let alone surpassing it in a way that would create sufficient income.
Initially I would give a relatively long winded explanation and justification of that rental model.
But I soon abbreviated it to a one sentence response which pretty much summed that point up.
“We don’t do part time licences”
Ie: You work full time and do what you agreed to and you’ll be way better off.
This popped into my head the other day when someone emailed asking if we do Pay As You Go sessions.
We don’t and never have.
And never will.
For the same reason.
It essentially rewards lower performance.
Whilst any exercise is better than none, the kind of results our members get come from at least a few sessions a week.
Request a payment method that only works out better if you don’t come very often and you’re not setting yourself up for success.
And what we do is about so much more than the sessions.
The online systems, support and accountability.
The group dynamic that develops by being ‘part of something’
None of which you get just doing the occasional PAYG workout.
We don’t do part time transformations.
Because, ultimately, a part time transformation is no transformation (check myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting if you’re ready for an actual transformation rather than just dipping in and out and doing one step forward, two steps back over time).
Much love,
