The Quickest, Cheapest and Easiest Way to Get New Clients in Your Gym
(You probably haven’t tried this yet!)

Close your eyes and picture the absolute best member at your gym, your star student — let’s call her “Jackie.” Jackie always pays on time, follows instructions, is fun to be around, has a great attitude, never complains … You get the point. Every gym has one or more “Jackies.”  They are the women and men who make our job as gym owners and coaches fun and rewarding; The people we look forward to seeing day in and day out.

Now how awesome would it be if our whole gym was filled with “Jackies”? Well, guess what? It can be.   

Following the well-known logic which states, “You are the average of the five people you hang out with the most,” then your best clients must hang out with some pretty awesome people, right? Lucky for you, that means that all you have to do to fill your gym with new members of the same caliber as “Jackie” is: Ask.  

Tomorrow when you see “Jackie,” simply go up to her and say, “Hey Jackie. Just wanted to let you know how awesome you are and how much I appreciate having you at the gym. As you know, we have space for a few new members and I would love for them to be just like you. So, if  you have any friends or family members, please refer them to our gym and have them join us for a FREE class. Can you do that for me?"

Of course the answer will be a resounding, “YES." Do this with your top clients and watch them multiply like bunnies. It’s that simple.

Bonus: First person to gain a new rockstar client at their gym using this technique, DM me on Instagram (@aaronhinde) — I’ll send you a FREE case of the LIFEAID product of your choice!
