If you’re struggling to keep your gym afloat or feeling stressed about your business, this is the podcast for you.

Today on “Run a Profitable Gym,” Two-Brain founder Chris Cooper shares a powerful message for owners who are exhausted, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next:

You’re not alone.

Coop explains how gym owners can turn things around and why “hope” isn’t a feeling. It’s a decision.

Chris lays out the real reasons gyms fail and lists the key differences between those that thrive and those that shut down. Then he lists the exact first steps to take if you're losing money and offers a formula for creating hope.

No gym should be left behind. This episode will show you how to move forward.

And if you want to move forward at the greatest speed, get a coach. Mentorship gives gym owners the clarity, focus and accountability they need to transform struggling gyms into world-class businesses.

Knowledge won’t grow your gym—action will.

In this episode, Two-Brain founder Chris Cooper explains how to close the gap between learning and doing so you can move your business forward.

For gym owners, the cost of inaction is high: wasted payroll, lost revenue, clogged marketing funnels and low retention.

Chris has seen thousands of gym owners get stuck in a cycle of compounding mistakes—not because they lacked information but because they didn't have someone to help them sort through the info and figure out what to do "right now."

The solution? Building a clear plan for your gym with an expert mentor who will tell you exactly what to do and hold you accountable for doing it.

If you’ve been consuming videos, blogs and books without making progress in your business, tune in to find out what separates growing gyms from stagnant gyms.
