From Personal Trainer to Gym Owner with Chris Burgess (Lift The Bar)
In this episode, I'm joined by Chris Burgess – the owner of Lift The Bar (education & mentorship for personal trainers) and Curious Fitness (group training gym, Bath). We talk about why you don't need fancy equipment, how he operates two successful businesses without micromanaging, why chasing more money isn't always the answer, how to differentiate your facility from the big commercial gyms, why you should set clear KPIs for your team, and a simple way to improve member retention.
