Are you currently a fitness business owner or thinking about getting started in the industry? Have you been searching for the top ways to increase your revenue in your business? This blog will give you the inside info on what the top fitness leaders are doing today to stay ahead of their competitors in 2012.

If you haven’t already started using online studio scheduling software to maximize your time and increase your automated revenue then you’re behind your competitors right now, but that’s ok here’s your chance to catch up.

The fitness industry is currently changing and the way a fitness business owner makes their revenue is changing too. Today’s fitness industry is becoming more competitive than ever. If you’re going to keep up with the masses then you need to adapt to the changing market. Start using online scheduling software to grow and manage your business and get online as your competitors are already there.

Right now more than half of the fitness industry is still offering one on one personal training to clients. The more surprising fact is that almost half of the fitness industry is making less than 50 thousand a year.  The truth is if you’re going to make money in your fitness business then you need to stop trading time for dollars.

For example if you’re  currently charging $720 per month for 3X week personal training then you’d be making $720 a month from each client. You would need to train approximately 132 hours per month to make 100k in revenue. Now let’s look at this differently. If you were charging $197 per month 3X week you would only need 42 clients and could make the same $100k per year training groups of 10 and only running 4 group sessions a day. That’s only a total of 16 hours a month compared to your 132 hours a month for personal training. So the obvious direction is to start offering group and boot camp training.

Looking at the numbers you can’t afford to keep trading time for dollars and have to start compounding your money by offering your services to the groups and boot camps. The next thing for you to consider is having multiple streams of income available for your clients. Whether you’re selling nutritional products, e-books, member only sites etc.  If your clients buy something once from you they’re more likely to buy other services or products from you again.

To help you get everything in order for the New Year and 2012 get on board with online studio scheduling software and start automating your business and stay leaps and bounds ahead of your competitors.
