127. Do Gym Aesthetics Matter?
In today’s episode your host, Ackerman and Fern talk about the aesthetics of an affiliate and how important. They’re covering the overlook, layout to the organization to how clean it is. To emphasise how important that is today. With wifi, how to make your members want to stay more and really why if you have showers you should also have a towels service. These may seem like the little things that don’t make a big difference but they do leave that last first impression.

122. Is Your Box Fit?
Today listeners, you are in for a Fern Friday special treat! Fern is going solo with is own thesis about how fit is your box?- Now Fern isn’t talking about if you would have won the affiliate cup, back when that was things. He discusses how “fit” is your business. As Crossfit, we like to be about to have metrics that are measurable, compared and retested. If we see a weakness in ourselves or our athletes we’d make a plan to fix, Fern idea is why aren’t we doing that for our business too? Meaning there’s a weakness in our business, then make a plan to fix, instead of sticking out head in the sand about. Fern’s trying to move away from the idea that because a box has been open longer or has more member that means it’s successful. When in reality these are gyms are struggling to keep the light. Fern’s very good at breaking down the aspect into very good Crossfit metaphors.

On today episode Fern sits down with longtime friends Jack Ryan and his business partner Eric Heup, they own Fair Winds CrossFit. They come from two entirely different backgrounds, with opposite skill sets. They went from the coach-athlete relationship to partners in their affiliate. It’s rare to see a business partner in a box nowadays who aren’t married or related in some ways. As that’s a difficult relationship with equal business partners, they’ve found a way to make it work. They also discuss better ways to communicate with the members in an affiliate that help foster the community and create buy-in. It all starts with their gym values: Be curious, Be consistent, Be Courageous. They run so much a podcast for their gym and fitness field trip which are pretty cool. It’s long and informative episode make sure to take notes.
