Building a successful gym is not just about getting people through the door — or even the effectiveness of your workouts and coaches.
In this episode, Nick and Dan deep-dive into why onboarding is the most critical stage of your members’ journey. From tours to rituals, they break down six key elements every gym needs to include for a seamless onboarding process. As always, they also share actionable strategies to help drop-ins and new members feel confident, connected, and ready to commit long-term.
