Episode Description from the Publisher

🌎 This week, Mateo sat down with Nathan, Kirsten, and Dana from BGB CrossFit, a CrossFit affiliate in Fayetteville, Georgia, that has been open for over 12 years. They break down how the gym shifted from a competitive CrossFit box to a health-focused facility for all demographics, the two-week fundamentals process that onboards every new member, and how adding semi-private training at $70 a week has increased revenue per member. We also get into their goal review system, how they keep every coach informed through Slack, and how layering in nutrition coaching, massage therapy, and Hyrox has helped them retain members for over a decade.P.S.
