Gym Owners Create $190,000 Revenue Stream—Here's How They Did It

Adding new programs to your gym is a great way to increase revenue. But there's only so much an owner can do.

So how do you add programs without getting burned out? If you hire staff to run them for you, how do you pay them and still make a profit? And how do you find the right person to make a program successful?

Peter Brasovan is a co-owner of NapTown Fitness, an Indiana gym with multiple revenue streams that together gross over $1 million a year. The key, he says, is intrapreneurialism: when one rock-star staff member starts a program under the mother business' umbrella.

Here, Peter—a Certified Two-Brain Mentor—unpacks the system. You'll learn how intrapreneurialism differs from entrepreneurialism, how to choose your champion intrapreneur, what you should—and shouldn't—do to ensure success and how intrapreneurialism can help you make more money.
