Demonstrate your skills, knowledge, and passion for helping people achieve their fitness goals. Share your success stories, testimonials, and referrals from your clients.

The first step in showing value to gym owners is to take the time to understand their particular situation . I will typically start by asking "whats working?" and "what's not working.?" You want to be sure your solutions will match their culture.

2 Communicate regularly

The second step to building relationships with gym owners and managers is to communicate regularly with them. Don't just show up, train your clients, and leave. Make an effort to greet them, chat with them, and ask them how they are doing. Keep them updated on your schedule, availability, and any issues or concerns you may have. Listen to their feedback, suggestions, and requests. Be respectful, polite, and professional in your communication. Show them that you care about them and their gym.

The key thing I try to stay focused on with communication is "speed." Speed in communication tells your client that their problems are your problems. I want the client to know they can count on me,

3 Seek their advice

The third step to building relationships with gym owners and managers is to seek their advice. They have more experience, knowledge, and insight into the fitness industry than you do. They can help you improve your skills, expand your network, and find new opportunities. Ask them for tips, recommendations, and referrals. Learn from their mistakes, challenges, and successes. Appreciate their wisdom, expertise, and guidance. Show them that you respect them and their authority.

Let's look at a gym turnaround. A couple things: I will always sit down and interview all keep employees. I'm seeking their thoughts and opinions and I looks for ways to incorporate that into the turnaround solution. I look for reasons to say yes. The second thing I do is ask what they were doing when they had their best month and we work to incorporate that as well.

4 Support their vision

The fourth step to building relationships with gym owners and managers is to support their vision. They have a goal, a mission, and a strategy for their gym. They want to create a positive, welcoming, and effective environment for their members and staff. They want to grow their brand, reputation, and revenue. Align yourself with their vision. Follow their rules, policies, and procedures. Promote their values, culture, and image. Help them achieve their objectives. Show them that you share their vision and their passion.

One of the biggest challenges for independent gym owners is the issue of isolation. I want to be that mentor, trusted partner, industry resource center and coach to help support their vision and maximize profitability.

5 Give back

The fifth step to building relationships with gym owners and managers is to give back. They have invested in you, your clients, and your career. They have provided you with a space, a platform, and a community to work in. They have supported you, mentored you, and endorsed you. Recognize their contribution. Express your gratitude, appreciation, and recognition. Offer your help, feedback, and loyalty. Refer new clients, members, and trainers to them. Show them that you value them and their generosity.

The message here would be to overdeliver. Give them more than they ever bargained for. Always have the gym at top of mind looking for opportunites for growth and education.

6 Be yourself

The sixth and final step to building relationships with gym owners and managers is to be yourself. Don't try to impress them, copy them, or compete with them. Be authentic, honest, and confident. Show them your personality, your style, and your uniqueness. Share your interests, hobbies, and goals. Connect with them on a personal level. Show them that you are not just a functional trainer, but a human being.

Offering free specialized training lectures, like on functional training or a specific type of injury/rehab, to gym staff is a potent strategy for building relationships with owners and managers. It showcases expertise, adds value, and fosters collaboration. Interactive sessions create memorable experiences, while personalized follow-ups reinforce commitment. This approach establishes credibility and opens doors for future collaborations within the fitness industry.
