Why this course exists

Chris opened his first gym in 2005 and spent 6 years fixing bad startup decisions (location, pricing, staffing, equipment). Those mistakes cost him tens of thousands of dollars and years he could’ve spent with his kids. This course distills everything he wishes he’d known before signing a lease.
