I love what he shares with us about how the fitness industry must be “evangelical” in promoting the benefits of exercise and healthy living. You’ve got to get out there in your community, network, promote, educate, and tell your story, over and over. He has some great suggestions for how studios can do that — and how studio owners should be thinking about the great opportunity presented by the pandemic.
