Best Hour of Their Day | Podcast

Wanted to say it again in case your forgot...what happens in your affiliate you either create or tolerate. When your complaint is that "my members do not listen", have you pulled them aside and had a conversation with them? Have you tried to get to the bottom of the situation in a calm and tactful way? Or are you simply blaming your members and not taking any ownership over the situation? Stop complaining and change what is going on through communication. You need to address these "problem members" and then, if things do not change and it is what is best for your business, remove them. But stop blaming them and outside circumstances when what is happening inside the four walls of your box falls on your shoulders. You either created this culture in your gym, or you are allowing it to thrive. Either way...it falls on you. If you need help in this area, DM us on Instagram @besthouroftheirday. We'd love to help.

Have you added a class time?  What are you doing in the space you have right now to make it better?  Listen in today as we discuss operational capacity and capping class attendance.

A time cap is a useful tool only in the event things have gone wrong through the course of your class.  Between the Whiteboard Brief and "3..2...1...GO," there are numerous opportunities for you as a coach to ensure that your athletes understand the intent of a workout. To ensure loading and rep scheme are appropriate based upon the athlete so the need for a time cap is rendered irrelevant. Time caps are not beneficial for the your athletes. They are an emergency procedure that you as a coach enact if your timeline goes awry because you failed to communicate appropriately with your athletes. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Comment on this post on our Instagram page and let us know your thoughts on time caps. Listen in to today's episode for our full discussion on the topic as we examine time caps it through the lens of a crossfit.com workout released earlier this week.

It is not one or the other. You need both. You need to actively be selling and actively be developing/seeking the top tier coaching staff you desire. Stop sitting back and passively hoping people will Google "CrossFit's near me" and stumble into your box. You need to actively pursue them. Think outside of the box and try something. Being passive with sales gets you nowhere. So you never miss an episode, subscribe on YouTube and on all major podcasting platforms at Best Hour of Their Day.

If your box is profitable but  you are unhappy, that is not sustainable. Money does not yield long term joy. If you are happy but your box is not profitable, that is not sustainable. Passion has a shelf life.  The goal for your business should mirror the same fitness goal CrossFit helped us develop: increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains throughout the years of your life AND your business ownership.  This is achieved only through reaching profitability AND happiness. Through the course of your affiliate ownership, you will experience peaks and valleys in both areas, however, the only sustainable route is one that seeks to optimize both profit and personal joy. Do you fall in one of these two categories? Are you simply unhappy and on the brink of closing your doors? Do you not know where to begin on this path forward? We can help.  DM us on Instagram @besthouroftheirday. So you never miss an episode, subscribe on YouTube and on all major podcasting platforms at Best Hour of Their Day.
