What do you do when the gym down the street undercuts you on prices? Or opens a location a hop and skip from your front door? Or steals your best ideas?

Celebrate, says Chris Cooper.  Competition is just an opportunity.

An opportunity to be the A-plus service and get the clients who graduate up to your gym after stagnating with the B-minus service. An opportunity to get the best clients while the lesser competition gets the ones who're out for a discount. An opportunity to differentiate yourself and be better.
