Mike Wuest is one of the owners and creators of UpLaunch, a CRM designed for micro gyms. He joins the podcast today to reveal why the chase for “more leads” is hurting most micro gyms.

He discusses how gyms can dial in their messaging, marketing, and systems, regardless of whether they use UpLaunch or not. He talks about the importance of the first 100 days of a new member’s journey, and how to maximize those first 100 days so you can get most of your clients to stick around for years.
