How to Land a Gym Client in 15 Minutes

Turn more consultations into memberships with our free Objection-Handling Scripts.

Can Chris Cooper close a sale in 15 minutes—even with a client who's trying to make it hard on him?

In this episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” Chris puts himself to the test with a live, unscripted consultation. John Franklin plays a deliberately difficult prospect: a busy parent with a recurring back injury, an unpredictable schedule and a strong preference for flexibility over structure.

Watch Chris run through a No Sweat Intro in real time: asking the right questions, uncovering the actual goal, and prescribing a program that addresses all of the client’s concerns at once.

When John throws out objections around commitment, cancellation and pricing, Chris handles each one without flinching or discounting.

By the end, you’ll see exactly what it looks like to coach someone into a confident yes.
