What’s the most insane thing that’s ever happened in your gym?

We started a podcast where gym owners get real about what actually happens running a gym.

Not just the crazy stories, but what worked, what blew up in our faces, and the stuff we'd do differently.

The first episode leaned into wildest stories, but there are still lessons buried in them.

One guy had a member show up in a suit and a BMW, walk to his trunk, and pull out a samurai sword... Broad daylight, at a gym. 

One coach talked about how he almost pushed away a guy who said he wanted to open his own gym someday, then hired him instead.

That guy worked for him for four years and now owns one of his old locations.

The lesson being don't write off ambitious people just because their long-term vision isn't staying with you forever.

And a story that reminds us why repetitive emergency response prep is so important.

Does anyone have their own wild gym story?

We started a podcast for gym owners because our best conversations have been behind closed doors…

For years the best conversations at Gym Launch have happened off the record. 

Coaches swapping stories about a pricing move that doubled someone's profit. 

A gym owner who had a SWAT team raid their gym (yes, that actually happened to someone). 

A sketchy partner quietly draining money out of the business….

The kind of stuff that only comes up between people who have actually run a gym and know how weird it can get when you own one.

So we finally sat down and hit record on some of our tangents.

It's called Gym Launch Unfiltered. 

It's a roundtable with our coaches and president at the table together. 

Every episode opens with one question that sets the direction, and then we get into it. 

Some episodes break down a real strategy, some are just our honest takes, and some are wild stories you won't believe are true.

The point is simple. You get to know the actual people behind Gym Launch, and you walk away with something you can use in your own gym.

Episode one drops August 18th. If you want a heads up when it goes live click here: https://linktr.ee/gymlaunchunfiltered

Free Gym Growth Webinar Aug 13 (Gym Launch x Kisi): The $1M Retention System for Gyms

We hear this a lot from gym owners… "My members don't really quit. Once they're in, they stay."

Then we peel back the data and the picture changes. 

It's rarely the dramatic cancellations that hurt you.

It's the more sneaky stuff like… Accounts stuck on pause that never reactivate and delinquent memberships nobody's chasing. 

It adds up to way more than most owners realize because they’re not counting them as cancellations.

Given it costs roughly 5 to 25x more to acquire a new member than to keep one, that leak is most definitely costing you.

If you can keep your members longer, and increase their lifetime value, you can worry less about constantly chasing more members. 

That's what this webinar is all about…

Coach R.E. from Gym Launch is teaming up with Kisi for a candid conversation on how gyms reduce churn, strengthen member relationships, and grow lifetime value, including where AI helps and where it just kills the human relationship that keeps people around.

📍Thursday, August 13th at 12pm ET 

Free, but you do have to register: https://www.getkisi.com/events/1m-retention-system-gyms

We hope to see you there!
