EP159 | One Big Mistake To Avoid When Starting Your Practice

If you're starting your practice by subleasing space in a gym, listen up. I see so many PTs make one huge mistake when negotiating their rent: agreeing to a percentage-based model. I'm telling you why a flat monthly rent is a much better, safer, and more autonomous way to go for the long-term health of your business. 🔑 Key Takeaways: Don't agree to pay a percentage of your revenue as rent. It gets incredibly expensive as you grow. Negotiate a flat monthly rent from the start. It gives you autonomy and financial privacy. People get weird with money. You don't want your landlord seeing your revenue and developing resentment or jealousy. Position yourself as an asset that helps the gym with member retention, not just another revenue stream for them. 🧠 Pro Tip: Take a chance on yourself. If you believe in your business, commit to a flat rent. It establishes a professional boundary and protects your upside. 🔥 Want to Grow Your SEO Without Burning Out? ✅ Use Clare AI to get 2–5 hours/week back on documentation ✅ Join our free 5-Day Challenge to work smarter ✅ Book a free strategy call and get personal help with your SEO + growth plan
