Each month Blair McHaney, the CEO of MXM, sits down with Rachel Zabonick-Chonko, the editor-in-chief of Club Solutions Magazine, for a frank discussion on the current state of the fitness industry.

BLAIR MCHANEY’S POV SHOW NOTES

Top of Mind

  • Many club owners are very nervous about the omicron variant.
  • Politicians are hesitant to do shutdowns again, but it looks like mask mandates are coming back in certain states.
  • How different everything is state to state and how to predict what is going to happen. Some states are still struggling, some are beating 2019 numbers.
  • Political advocacy is more important than ever. We must find a way to structure the volunteer state alliances that were formed to keep them going and active even after COVID-19.  
  • The work doesn’t stop. The state alliances need constant engagement.

Looking Ahead

  • People are less interested in learning about sales and more interested in learning about operationalizing the customer experience.
  • Sad reality is clubs have closed and there are pools of people looking to find a new gym. 2022 is a time to capitalize on that.
  • There is an opportunity for a change in messaging. “You’re one workout away from a great mood.” Weave this message into everything you do and act on it.
  • People are looking for more 20-to-30-minute workouts in 2022.

Challenges for 2022

  • Employment will continue to be a challenge for the next few months.
  • The Great Resignation will lead new, passionate people to the industry.
  • Blair has received more personal training applications this year than ever before.

Leadership advice for 2022

  • Hang in there.
  • Be flexible.
  • This is going to go away. Remain optimistic.

Book Recommendations

  • “Managing Corporate Lifecycles” by Ichak Adizes.
  • So many incredible lessons operators can take away from this book.
