This week on BARBELL BUSINESS we interview Eric Amzalag at CrossFit Encino and talk about how you can differentiate your gym from "just another CrossFit box" in a flooded fitness market. We discuss:

  • The benefits of differentiating your CrossFit box and the services you offer and how that set you apart in a flooded market.
  • How to add more value propositions so you can charge more for your monthly service.
  • Why you need to think of your fitness service as a product and how to create massive value specific to your target market.
  • Why you need to delegate and create a automated structure as a owner of a gym so you can focus on leading.

Be sure to check out the next Barbell Mastermind, that is going down on Nov 8-10 in San Diego, California. Space is limited and you can learn more and apply to attend at BarbellMastermind.com
