"I give this course a 10/10. Why? With just one affirmation, I completely rethought an expansion strategy. The concept of identifying the three uniques which tie to the NPS responses really drove it home."

Luke talks to HIT studio owners every single day and understands the challenges you face in growing your business.
You've probably plateaued in growth because you're struggling with two or more of the following:
Maybe you're struggling with all the above, which is not uncommon! They tend to feed in to each other.
Juggling these challenges and trying to grow your business is very stressful, frustrating, and sometimes feels impossible!
The problem is that you are an expert in exercise, but not necessarily in business, which at times, makes you feel inadequate or a bit unqualified to run and grow the business.
If you don't find a way to overcome the obstacles stopping you from growing your business, you will continue to feel stressed and frustrated.
You will continue to struggle to attract new clients, retain existing clients, and grow revenue and profit.
You won't be able to impact and change as many lives as you were meant to.

Luke consistently hears the the same themes from colleagues in the industry:
"I love what I do, but you just can't make much money with a personal training studio."
Sound familiar?
You probably don't realise the true revenue potential of your studio.
Most owners assume that $150,000 to $300,000 in annual revenue is the upper limit.
Actually, personal training businesses are setup to make more money than virtually any model in the fitness industry.
Personal strength training combined with high revenue per unit of time combined with relatively low capital requirements, offers an incredible value proposition, and is producing businesses with higher revenue per square foot than the vast majority of fitness business models.
In reality, a 1,500 to 2,200 square foot personal training studio should easily generate $800,000 to $1,200,000 in sales.
Even smaller studios should generate more than $500,000.
Discover Strength generate over $5,000,000 in annual revenue from seven studios.
This all sounds great, but how is this possible you might ask?
It comes down to a proven system based on 8 key steps, which Discover Strength and other personal training businesses have implemented to drive massive results in their business.
Luke covers this entire system in the course below...
