Strength Coach Podcast- Episode 278.5- Gym Owners Response to the Shutdown



Highlights of Special Episode 278.5

This was originally a Zoom call that I did for StrengthCoach.com.  I received a lot of great feedback so I wanted to make it available to a larger audience and through a different format.  You can still watch the video on StrengthCoach.com.

Gym owners from across the country (and one from Canada) got together to discuss their COVID-19 Response.

I asked:

1- What are you doing for training (pdfs, zoom, apps, FB live, etc.)

2- What has been your members response as far as membership continuation is concerned?

3- What is the compliance so far? Are clients engaged?

4- How are you engaging with staff?

5- What is silver lining with all of this?
