Boutique Consulting for Gym Operators

YOUR PATH TO STRONGER
OPERATIONS BEGINS HERE

We partner with independent gyms, strength studios, and multi-location wellness brands to fix unit economics, streamline staffing, and boost lifetime value — without turning your member experience into a hard sell.

Who We Are

We turn busy gyms into healthy businesses.

Akers Gym Consulting LLC is a Montana-based firm specializing in management, scientific, and technical consulting for fitness and wellness operators. Our team blends field experience with analytical rigor—mapping traffic patterns, modeling throughput, and using real data to guide decisions.

We work hands-on: from front desk scripting to equipment placement, from class scheduling to pro-shop margin management. If it touches member experience or P&L, it’s within our lane.

Clients bring us in to stabilize operations before scaling, prepare for new-site launches, and recover underperforming locations. Our recommendations are practical, time-boxed, and directly tied to unit economics.

We don’t sell software or lock you into platforms. We build processes your team can own—and we coach until they stick.

Headquartered in Helena, we serve clients across the U.S. remotely and on-site, with quick-start engagements that create momentum from week one.

What We Deliver

Operator-level services for real-world gyms

Each engagement is scoped to measurable outcomes. We focus on three pillars: revenue systems, operational throughput, and member lifecycle management.

Revenue Systems & Pricing Architecture

We design tiered memberships, add-on packs, and intro offers that align with your capacity and brand. Our pricing sprints test elasticity without eroding value perception, then lock in the winners.

Expect practical assets: rate sheets, objection handling cards, promotion calendars, and KPI dashboards built from your POS/CRM exports.

Target metrics: trial-to-member conversion, average revenue per member (ARM), and predictable promo lift without discount addiction.

Floor Utilization & Throughput Modeling

Using time-and-motion studies, we model peak traffic, queue points, and equipment utilization to redesign layouts and scheduling blocks.

We rebalance the mix of open gym, classes, and coaching sessions to maximize member experience while lifting sessions per hour per coach.

Deliverables include annotated floor plans, class grid templates, and demand-shaping tactics for peak spreading.

Member Journey & Staff Enablement

From day-0 onboarding to day-90 habits, we codify your touchpoints: welcome flows, goal check-ins, progress cues, and win-back cadences.

We script front-desk lines, coach handoffs, and “micro-moments” that increase perceived value without feeling salesy.

We train your team to run the playbook and we audit weekly until it becomes muscle memory.

See Our Process

Operator DNA

We’ve owned the KPIs you care about—show-up rate, ARM, churn, LTV. Our frameworks were built on real gyms, not hypothetical decks.

Data in Plain English

POS and CRM exports become simple dashboards. Your team sees trends quickly and knows exactly what to do next.

Quick Wins, Durable Habits

We stack early momentum with weekly coaching and QA. The outcome is culture—consistent, member-first execution.

How We Work

Three sprints to reset your trajectory

Our engagements run in tightly scoped sprints with clear outcomes. Each sprint stands alone and compounds results when stacked.

Timeline: Sprint 01 (2 weeks), Sprint 02 (3 weeks), Sprint 03 (3–4 weeks). Remote first; on-site available for key moments.
Sprint 01 — Baseline & Pressure Test

We audit traffic, conversion, and capacity constraints. Fieldwork includes member interviews, layout walk-through, and a discrete review of the onboarding journey. You get a prioritized hit list for the next two weeks.

Sprint 02 — Throughput & Offer Design

We re-grid classes, sequence equipment zones, and tune staffing overlaps. Pricing and offers are stress-tested for elasticity and brand fit. We introduce scripts and micro-habits to raise perceived value on day one.

Sprint 03 — Scale & Coach the Coaches

We install dashboards, set review cadences, and certify leads to run the playbook. The result: repeatable operations with fewer fire drills and a member experience that sells itself.
