From Raw Recruits to Ready Rockets: Building a Dream Team with Your Own Training Camp

Gym Owners, are endless onboarding headaches draining your energy? Tired of wasting time training staff from scratch? Here’s a high-impact, low-cost strategy to cultivate a high-performing team ready to hit the ground running: The Gym Staff Training Camp!

Step 1: Cast a Wide Net:

• Run targeted ads: Seek membership sales professionals, personal trainers, and other key personnel.
• Open invitation: Invite all applicants to attend a free four-day training camp.

Step 2: Whittle Down the Pack:

• Expect attrition: Some won’t show or self-select out. This is a good thing!
• Strategic evaluation: Identify those who might benefit from delaying their start and suggest attending the next training camp.

Step 3: The Training Camp Advantage:

• Expert Instructors: Utilize your best managers and salespeople as trainers! This hones their training skills and fosters a leadership pipeline.
• Actionable Agenda: Cover essential skills like software usage, referral generation, phone etiquette, giving tours, and closing sales.
• Real-World Scenarios: Simulate real-life situations to develop confidence and problem-solving abilities.

What You Get:

• Reduced Ramp-Up Time: New hires are equipped and empowered from day one, minimizing the onboarding burden.
• Improved Staff Quality: By selecting the most dedicated and engaged individuals, you elevate your team’s overall performance.
• Enhanced Staff Development: Your existing top performers hone their training skills, fostering a culture of learning and growth.
• Motivated New Hires: Those who graduate the camp are enthusiastic and eager to prove themselves, creating a positive energy boost.

Bonus Tip: Reward Top Performers: If you have multiple gyms, offer the “first pick” of new hires to the location needing the most support. This incentivizes excellence in the training camp.

The Gym Staff Training Camp isn’t just about filling positions, it’s about building a winning team. By investing in your staff’s development, you invest in the long-term success of your gym.
