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. Check out the extra content about this episode on besthouroftheirday.com Rate/subscribe in Apple Podcasts!
