Jim Adams is our guest in this week’s episode. He is a fitness expert, entrepreneur, and speaker. Jim started The Masters in Fitness Business Podcast, and wove the best episodes into a book called Masters in Fitness Business. Today, Jim discusses what he’s learned from his podcast guests, why having systems in a fitness business is so important, and the unique challenges that gym owners have.
“When people tell me they don’t have systems – bullshit, you do. Because each time you train a client, every time you call a client, every time you sit down with a client, there’s a mental checklist you go through in your head. All you have to do is write it down.” – Jim Adams
