The Problem:Big-box fitness franchises have a high demand for performance-driven employees. The industry has a high turnover ratio because of employee burnout. This causes all top employees to become overworked. Overworking leads to inconsistency, decreased performance, and eventually termination. This also causes a customer/client retention issue. Both caused the company a major profit loss. The Solution:Create an example of a results-driven martial art and fitness studio while generating a movement to combat the world’s issues with obesity, depression, and anxiety.
