In this episode of The GSD Show, the leading fitness business podcast, we're diving into two crucial numbers every gym owner must track—LTV (Lifetime Customer Value) and CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost). LTV, or Lifetime Customer Value, measures the total revenue you can expect to earn from a single customer over their entire relationship with your company. By focusing on getting customers to pay more, pay for more things, and pay for longer, you can increase your LTV and ultimately boost your business's profitability. On the other hand, CAC, or Customer Acquisition Cost, measures the total cost of acquiring a single customer. Ideally, you want your CAC to be as low as possible. By running better ads, having stronger offers, improving your sales process, and generating referrals, you can reduce your overall cost to acquire customers. Keeping these two numbers far apart from each other is crucial to the success of your business, so it's important to track them closely and make adjustments as needed. 🚀 Want to grow your gym?

In this episode of The GSD Show, the leading fitness business podcast, we're talking about how your gym can be successful in the recession. In fact, many big-name companies actually started in a recession. Imagine 2 people are going bowling. Person A: Amazing at bowling, gets strikes & doesn't need bumpers. She scored a 180. Person B: Doesn't play often, needs bumpers to help him knock down pins. He scored a 181. If a random person were to see their scores at the end of the day, they would think these two bowlers were neck and neck when in reality, Person B had a HUGE advantage. This is what it's like in a good economy: bumpers to help you win. When a recession hits, bumpers come down and this is where we see the true winners come out. In a recession, Person B only scores 50 points. As of July (when this episode was filmed) economists are predicting a recession coming our way. Don't let your gym be unprepared. Watch to learn about the fundamentals your gym should be starting NOW to not only beat the recession, but succeed in it too! 🚀 Want to grow your gym?
