Don't Hate On The Fuckface Marketing Gurus
I know I poke a lot of fun at these ClickFunnel wizards and their creepy mustaches, but seriously...it's your fucking fault that they are appearing in your social media feed.

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.

The WTF Gym Talk SHOW | Ep. 01 | How You Probably Shouldn't Handle The Gov. Shutting Down Your Gym
The WTF Gym Talk SHOW is meant to be consumed via video as it's originally distributed on YouTube & Facebook. However, after plenty of request to publish it on the podcast, I caved like a little bitch and said OK.
However, to get the full experience, carve out some downtime and enjoy the visual episode experience here.
On the first episode of the WTF Gym Talk SHOW, we discuss
- customers who steal - the Scottish microgym savior you didn't know about
- some awesome marketing videos you should be using for inspiration
- how some reactions to government forced closures are probably less than optimal
Liked the show? Hated it? Let me know on Instagram @wtfgymtalk

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.

Life Beyond Owning A Microgym With Ryan Webber
Ryan Webber is a former microgym owner and opted to leave the industry after 5 years. He then took a deep dive into creative content, videography and marketing tactics.
Fast forward to today, where thousands of owners are closing down their business and asking themselves "What's next for me?" - I thought this conversation was the perfect segway.

Rachele is a badass. I think that's how I exactly described her in her first appearance on my podcast. Cancer survivor, Ironwoman, lawyer to the fitness industry, loves to swear....she's my kind of people.
On this episode we jam on COVID related topics and then deep dive into the license vs. franchise discussion, how CrossFit gyms might fare in their new license scenario and what to consider if you'd like to expand your brand with OPM (other people's money).
