The WTF Gym Talk SHOW is meant to be consumed via video as it's originally distributed on YouTube & Facebook. However, after plenty of requests to publish it on the podcast, I caved like a little bitch and said OK.

In this episode of the WTF Gym Talk SHOW, we jam on:
- 3 case studies of successful online fitness companies + what they all have in common

- is there a market for just selling programming?

Copywriting: Does Your Prospect Know Your Plan?
My copywriting service has a 3 part plan of attack, with the 2nd step involving the effective description as to how you're going to fix your prospective client's problems.
We call this 'your plan'.
And when you don't have a clear plan that you can install in your copywriting, it's no surprise when you don't have more traffic into your microgym.

You've Got To Evolve Your Content
The majority of microgym's are producing the exact same content we were years ago.
Sure, it may have gotten better.
The pictures are higher resolution, the copywriting is on-point...but at the end of the day, the content is stale and looks like EVERYONE else in town.
Here's my take on one way to spice it up.

Class Registration and Cancellation Policies
COVID has done some positive things for the microgym industry IMO - one of them being the integration of class reservation policies, cancellation fees and increased operational capacity.
If you're looking to have a smooth integration with these new operations, def. give this episode a listen.
