About this episode

This episode discusses the profitability of semi-private training compared to large group training for gyms.

Is your gym model actually profitable… or just busy? In this episode, we break down the real economics of large group vs semi-private training and why most gym owners are leaving money on the table. Using real numbers: Large group: ~$100/hour before expenses Semi-private: ~$240/hour (2.5x more revenue) We explain why semi-private training creates higher revenue, better retention, and a more scalable gym model, plus why most gym owners hesitate to switch and how to transition the right way in 3–6 months. If you want to increase gym revenue, improve profit margins, and build a scalable fitness business, this episode is a must-watch
