In this episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” John Franklin talks with Two-Brain mentor Brian Bott, who runs three gyms in New Jersey that bring in over $1.5 million a year in revenue, with coaches who have stayed for a decade or more.

Brian explains what he screens for, how he onboards new coaches, how he pays them and what he does when a hire goes wrong.

He also shares how to decide who to hire first, how to find candidates without relying on job boards and how to keep quality consistent across multiple locations.
