Paying Investing in Staff.

There are a hundreds of compensation models available to business owners – and probably even more for gym owners. Regardless of where you are today, there are two things I want you to remember:

• Don’t compare yourself to anyone else
  • Sure, there are gyms that claim to pay their janitor more than you’re making but, chances are, these are exaggerations or 1-off exceptions.
• Opportunity, hope, entrepreneurialism, vision, leadership, giving back to a community, education & development are all just as motivating as cash.
  • Be a strong, caring leader first & compensation will follow.

We’ll discuss many options, their pro’s and cons, but each will be framed by the above. Here’s a break-down:

• Swapping for Membership
• Paying Per Class
• Specialty Classes & Personal Training
• Paying for Space
• 4/9ths
• Paying for extra duties
  • dubbed “Building Block” Model on-air.
• Per Head Pay

Here’s the deal: Each of these models is only as effective as the leader implementing them. Don’t get overwhelmed by all your options. Your focus is people & helping your employees build their perfect day.
