In this episode, we share what it was really like to go through a price increase at one of our locations. We talk through why we did it, how we did it, and what we learnt from the reaction. We cover the honest fears we had before hitting send, the careful planning behind it, and how we made sure it added more value — not less — for our members. If you’ve been putting off a price increase for months (or years), this one will hit home. There’s also some behind-the-scenes stuff in here about how we’re shifting the podcast to support more of you who are on the journey to launch.
