Hiring a general manager won’t save a gym that isn’t paying its owner well yet.

In this episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” Two-Brain founder Chris Cooper explains how to know when you’re ready to hire a GM, how to pay one without guessing and how to train them so they can run your gym at your standard.

He shares what went wrong with the first GM he hired and why the role works best as one of the last hires you make.

Chris also covers the questions to answer before you write the job ad and the mistakes that cause GM hires to fall apart in the first year.
