How to increase gym revenue by giving your coaches a pay raise

January 31, 2023 by

As a gym owner, keeping your coaches motivated and satisfied in their positions is essential. One way to do this is by offering opportunities for them to increase their pay through the introduction of new programs at the gym. Not only will this help to retain your talented coaches, but it can also bring in additional revenue for the gym. Here's how you can help your coaches add new programs to the gym and split the commission:

  1. Identify areas of need or interest within your gym community. Take the time to listen to feedback from your members and see if there is a demand for a specific type of program or service that your gym is not currently offering. This could be anything from yoga classes to personal training sessions to nutrition coaching.
  2. Encourage your coaches to come up with program ideas. Chances are, your coaches have a wealth of knowledge and experience in various fitness and wellness areas. Encourage them to brainstorm ideas for new programs that they could lead at the gym.
  3. Provide support and resources for coaches to develop and launch their programs. Once your coaches have come up with program ideas, offer them support in developing and launching these programs. This could include providing training materials, marketing resources, and access to necessary equipment.
  4. Set a fair commission split. When it comes to splitting the commission from the new programs, it's important to be fair and transparent. Discuss with your coaches what an appropriate split would be, taking into account the time and resources they are putting into the program and the potential revenue it could bring in.
  5. Promote the new programs to your members. Once the new programs are up and running, it's important to let your members know about them and encourage them to sign up. This could involve promoting the programs through your gym's website and social media channels, as well as through in-person communication with members.

By following these steps, gym owners can help their coaches add new programs to the gym, increasing both their pay and the revenue for the gym. This benefits the coaches and the gym and provides more options and opportunities for members to improve their fitness and wellness.
