Remarkable difference almost immediately

Do you need to boost your gym or fitness centre’s performance and profit quickly without investing a lot of money?

Do you frequently become dissatisfied with your team’s performance and customer service quality?

Have you often wondered if there is an easier way to operate your business?

An employee handbook allows you to improve your gym by communicating your vision, direction, and standards to your employees. It is your ‘silent partner’ who communicates your expectations when you are in the gym as well as when you are not present.

Like most business owners, you are short on time and cannot be everywhere at once. A Gym Employee Handbook is a low-cost business ‘partner’ that can help you improve performance, communicate expectations, and propel your company forward.

Can you really afford to have no employee handbook in your gym or fitness centre?

Retaining Customers is the Key to Success

Operating a gym can be challenging. There are so many things to think about.

A major component of your business is your team. Managing and motivating staff is often the most difficult aspect of any business and a gym is no different.

Obtaining new customers and retaining them are often the next most difficult challenges. The key to gym survival and growth is retaining existing customers while also adding more.

However, ensuring customers stay is often very difficult through your team. Customers can leave at the ‘drop of a hat’ for any minor issue. Therefore it is crucial your team are switched on, responsive to the standards you know as business operator work and performing to a high standard to ensure customers are not leaving.

How do you ensure these standards are met? By using an employee handbook. This tool is a ‘must have’ if you want your gym to not only survive, but to succeed.

An employee handbook is one major key piece in the puzzle of operating a successful small business like a gym.

3 Real Breakthrough Benefits of an Employee Handbook

A Gym Employee Handbook will improve many areas in your gym. One hugely important benefit is that your team will instantly know what is expected of them.

Many gyms do not operate efficiently because their team have not been told the specifics including the rules and expected level of customer service delivery.

You must be specific. How else will your team know if you haven’t been specific?

Below are 3 real breakthrough benefits you will see almost immediately when you prepare and use an employee handbook in your gym.

1. It will immediately set the benchmark for customer service

As you already know, customer service is crucial in any gym. Your business revolves around customer service including online reviews.

Achieving 5 star reviews for every single customer should be your goal. If it isn’t, your business will struggle to compete and in the end struggle to survive.

An employee handbook is a reference tool that specifically outlines the standards expected of your team. This tool in combination with your encouragement and guidance will ensure your team are hitting the level of standards you expect.

2. You will build authentic trust with your customers

A successful gym is all built around trust, providing the latest facilities and providing additional service ‘add-ons’ to a professional standard. Being authentic and building trust is key to retaining customers which in turn, builds your business in all areas.

Not only do you need to build trust with your customers, it is crucial that your team is also doing this.

3. It will stop you repeating yourself

A good friend of mine once told me if you don’t want to repeat yourself, don’t have kids or operate a business. How true this is. Implementing an employee handbook in your gym means you will not have to repeat yourself over and over again. Your team will have a document they can refer to first.

Make sure you always refer to the employee handbook when they ask you questions. It must be consistently reviewed and up to date.

Take it seriously and your team will take it seriously.
