I've obtained the exact workout routines behind a multi-six-figure strength training business — and I'm giving them away free. Beginner. Advanced. Core. Posterior chain. Female-preference. Specialised. You name it. Comment "YES" below and I'll send them over. 👇 Big thanks to Blair Wilson!!

When we have a new client increase strength on a movement substantially (+-40%), we will have them do their initial weight they started with right after their set. They are often very happily surprised and remark on it later. Granted lifting a lighter weight after a heavier weight makes the lighter weight feel even lighter (post-activation potentiation I’ve read) but it really drives the progress home. Here is an example where a client started with 140lbs on a movement and just did a set of 240lbs. Right after doing that set, we say stay there, change the weight and then have them do a few reps of 140lbs. Others may already do this or something like it but for those that don’t…might be useful, fun and maybe add to retention.

I’m curious what the general consensus is on how you pay trainers. Do you pay them as employees or contractors? Are they hourly employees and then if they don’t have clients how do you deal with that? Are they responsible for filling their own schedules? The way my gym currently does it is we are scheduled by the owner and we are paid per client. We can take two in an hour so every 30 minutes. If we happen to not have anyone scheduled for a half hour session or maybe multiple half hour sessions each day we don’t receive any compensation. Is that how most gems run?
