Your gut says fire them – but your fear says, “Then who’s going to coach tomorrow?”

It’s one of the toughest spots to be in as a gym owner. You know someone on your team isn’t right, but you keep making excuses – telling yourself it’ll get better, that you can’t afford the gap, or that starting over will take too long.

This episode offers a way out.

Randy and Zach walk through a mindset shift and a simple strategy that lets you hold the line on standards without backing yourself into a corner. It’s the difference between constantly reacting to staff issues and finally building a team that runs with or without you.
