Description

Your campaign is good. And ads are working. And the leads are flowing. 

And that’s exactly when most gym owners make the call that stalls their growth for the next six months. 

They tell the agency to turn it off. Not because it’s broken. But because it’s working too well

Because the systems downstream can’t keep up…

Because onboarding’s a mess... 

Because service delivery’s maxed out…

So the tap gets closed and the engine cools down. And by the time they’re ready to turn it back on the algorithm’s changed and the market’s moved.

This episode breaks down Habit 3 of the 7 Habits of Winning Gyms – and it’s about what happens when you stop treating momentum like the fragile, high-value asset it is.

Tim and Randy are talking about treating lead flow like a faucet instead of a flywheel. Because what looks like a “pause” often turns into a full stop. And getting moving again costs way more than keeping things running in the first place.

If you’ve ever pulled back when things got too busy you’ll want to hear this one.

Tune in.
