This is being published on March 18th 2020, during a challenging time for people all over the world. Following a swift economic collapse due to the spread of COVID-19, high intensity training studio owners are experiencing very hard times. Many of you are dealing with an onslaught of cancellations as people begin to self-isolate and many of you have bravely decided to close your studio(s) temporarily to protect your clientele, help flatten the curve, and unburden your healthcare system.
I have radically adjusted my own strategy and content schedule to ensure that I am doing my best to meet your needs during this period.
Right now, you may have the opportunity to step back and think about your business. In this episode, Luke Carlson provides guidance to Dr Bryce Lee on hiring and employment, marketing best practices, startup tips, and much, much more. Please use this episode and other episodes during this temporary shutdown to improve your business, ready to explode into action once normal service resumes.

This episode is also brought to you by ARXFit.com, ARX are the most innovative, efficient and effective all-in-one exercise machines I have ever seen. I was really impressed with my ARX workout. The intensity and adaptive resistance were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I love how the machine enables you to increase the negative load to fatigue target muscles more quickly and I love how the workouts are effortlessly quantified. The software tracks maximum force output, rate of work, total amount of work done and more in front of you on-screen, allowing you to compete with your pervious performance, to give you and your clients real-time motivation.
