It's a matter of how you deliver your service. There's no question that 75% of the clients at my facility have absorbed enough over 15+ years to train on their own, yet they choose not to because of the unique way we deliver our service.

The problem is that I work in a low budget gym, and whenever people feel like they've learned enough, they leave. How do I get around that?
