Episode 16: The Legends of CrossFit Illumine

Every gym owner is aware of the "Baby Boomer" market--that massive way of the newly-retired--but most aren't sure how to attract seniors into their program. The key, says Alexander, is to understand what THEY want--or what their kids want FOR them.Many of these 50-60-year-olds are watching their parents decline into decrepitude, physically and mentally, and think, "That's never going to happen to me." At the same time they might perceive a regular CrossFit class to be beyond their capacity. Some, like Wayne, will seek Personal Training; but others will be attracted to Alexander's model. And we go through the pricing, programming and marketing components in this episode.Tyler Belanger is cofounder of IgniteGym and co-author of Enrichment Through Exercise. His daily BrainWODs are being used in gyms around the world to help special populations and add cognitive enrichment to exercise classes. BrainWODs can be a differentiating element in your Seniors' program, and research shows it's the ONLY buttress against cognitive decline. IgniteGym's "101" course launches today (they only take 50 gyms at a time.)Full show notes at:http://www.twobrainbusiness.com/episode-16-the-legends-of-illumine/
