Mark Fisher Fitness: Introducing the Unique Gym in Midtown Manhattan
The speaker, Mark Fisher, introduces their background and the unique gym they run in Midtown Manhattan called Mark Fisher Fitness. They explain that their gym caters to the New York theater community and other misfit toys, focusing on serious fitness in an interesting and accessible way.
As fitness business owners, we all struggled during COVID – but some gym owners definitely paid a steeper price than others.
While many of us were shut down 3, 6 or maybe even as long as 9 months – what would you do if you were forced to close your gym for 18(!) months?
How would both you – as well as your business – have to grow and evolve during that time?
Well if you’d like to know the answer, today’s guest is going to answer that very question!
Mark Fisher is the co-founder of Business for Unicorns. BFU offers coaching and courses to help great humans become successful gym owners.
Mark is also the co-founder of NYC’s wildly eccentric Mark Fisher Fitness.
And his newest company, Unicorn Wellness, is an investor in an emerging fitness franchise brand Alloy Personal Training.
So in this episode we’re going to talk about what it was REALLY like to run a gym during a pandemic, along with time management and business tips to help every trainer or coach be more successful.
At the end of the day, the most important thing is are you receiving a total owner compensation that’s somewhere between 20 and 40%? – Mark Fisher
