Your coaches are your product.

If they know how to do a cartwheel but have no idea how to actually teach one, your retention is suffering whether you realize it or not.

Katherine Thomas of Confidence in Coaching joins the Family Business podcast to break down why coach confidence is the missing piece in most gymnastics gyms and kids' activity centers, and what owners can do about it right now.

We cover how low coach confidence drives kids and staff out the door, the real cost of high student turnover, three things you can start doing this month to build a stronger coaching culture, and how investing in your coaches reduces owner burnout and breaks the hub-and-spoke trap.

Private equity is buying up gyms. Insurance rules are changing. And most gym owners are leaving real money on the table because raising prices feels scary.

In this conversation, CAM Incorporated owner Bryon Hough breaks down what every gymnastics gym owner needs to know right now: why mom-and-pop gyms still matter, the biggest financial and liability mistakes club owners make, why profitability isn't a dirty word, and how building the right team of staff (not doing it all yourself) is the difference between owning a job and owning a business.

You'll hear real stories, from a $250,000 gym sale to a $5 million club working through a financial pickle, plus straight talk on exit planning, staff pay, and what actually makes a gym valuable.
