Each month Blair McHaney, the CEO of MXM, sits down with Taylor Brown, the assistant editor of Club Solutions Magazine, for a frank discussion on the current state of the fitness industry.

BLAIR MCHANEY’S POV SHOW NOTES

Favorite Parts of 2022

  • McHaney said mid-March was his favorite part of the year due to COVID-19 restrictions lifted off clubs.
  • The industry had a very positive comeback from the pandemic despite many formerly believing the majority of clubs would not survive.
  • Exercise received more recognition than possibly ever before.

Biggest Challenges of 2022

  • The first quarter of the year through restrictions made gyms feel less comfortable due to more rules and a lack of patrons.
  • The second biggest challenge was raising revenue back up to where it was before COVID-19.

Lessons Learned and Reinforced Throughout the Year

  • When you are certain several datapoints area leading to a trend, act fast. Don’t wait for the next datapoint.
  • Advocacy proved its worth. The Washington Fitness Alliance enabled state-wide grants to be enacted.
  • In a world where many people are having a hard time, employees were a continuous source of loyalty and kindness. That reinforced how we should continue to treat others well.

Looking Forward to 2023

  • McHaney is looking forward to being more involved into building out the MXM institute and the consulting side of the business. Engagements so far through consulting are having a huge impact.
  • Rest and recovery. If people in our industry aren’t taking a serious look into recovery, then they will be missing out on a massive opportunity to build revenue and help others.
