Unlikable Gym Owners: Don’t Do This Stuff!

Is your negative attitude pushing away potential gym clients? Are you turning off your members with social-media rants?

Are you trying to impress clients with random fitness knowledge instead of actually listening to people? Do you let the stress of entrepreneurship show in public? Do people think you're more interested in your cell phone than what they're saying?

Being likable is incredibly important. You can be the best trainer in the world, but you won't have any clients if people don't want to be around you.

Good news: You can become more likable by reducing stress, cultivating positivity and committing to self-improvement.

In this episode, Chris Cooper and Mike Warkentin reflect on their own mistakes and share the lessons they've learned about how to be more likable to those they serve.
