This week, Tim and Randy dive into a hot topic: should gyms pass credit card processing fees onto their clients?

With the potential to save gyms tens of thousands of dollars annually, the decision seems financially sound. However, the issue goes beyond just numbers, especially in the fitness industry, which is not just any business.

The personal connection between gyms and their clients makes adding extra fees more complicated. Gym owners must think about balancing their finances and building positive client relationships.

So, if you want to find out whether the financial gains from passing on fees are worth the risk of possibly driving clients away, join Tim and Randy.

They compare the fitness industry's situation to other businesses and talk about different strategies, from moving to ACH payments to raising membership rates. They also look at how different industries handle costs and customer expectations around tipping and service charges.
