Brought to you by PerformBetter.com Highlights of Special Episode 278.5 This was originally a Zoom call that I did for StrengthCoach.com.  I received a lot of great feedback so I wanted to make it available to a larger audience and through a different format.  You can still watch the video on StrengthCoach.com. Gym owners from across the country (and one from Canada) got together to discuss their COVID-19 Response. I asked: 1- What are you doing for training (pdfs, zoom, apps, FB live, etc.) 2- What has been your members response as far as membership continuation is concerned? 3- What is the compliance so far? Are clients engaged? 4- How are you engaging with staff? 5- What is silver lining with all of this?   Thanks to: Elsbeth Vaino- Custom Strength, Ottawa, Canada Frank Dolan- Sports & Fitness Performance, Islip, NY Jon Messner- Messner Strength Training, Brielle, NJ Stephen Bigelow- Mike Boyle Strength & Conditioning, Woburn, MA Evan Marcantonio- Elevate Strength & Performance, Worcester, MA Alwyn Cosgrove- Results Fitness, Santa Clarita, CA
