In this episode, we’re joined by Chris Duncan, founder of Rental Gym Mentors, to talk all things rental model personal training.
Chris shares his journey through the fitness industry and breaks down the biggest mistakes PTs make when entering rent-based gyms. We discuss lead generation on the gym floor, sales, tracking the right numbers, pricing properly, and why being busy doesn’t always mean being profitable.
We also dive into what scaling actually looks like in an in-person PT business, how to increase income without burning out, and why retention and value per hour matter more than simply adding more sessions.
If you’re a student or PT working (or planning to work) under the rental model, this episode is packed with practical, no-nonsense advice.
