The owner decision
What still stops when the owner leaves, and which operating system removes that bottleneck safely?
Guide 01 List approvals, knowledge, access, relationships, and exceptions that stop without the owner. Rank impact, transfer safely, and test absence.
Guide 02 Opening, busy-period and closing checks your gym reception team can use, with completion evidence, payment reconciliation and a filled shift handover.
Guide 03 Transfer open issues, promises, exceptions, money, incidents, leads, and ownership without copying unnecessary member detail.
Guide 04 Balance paid joins with collection, activation, early cancellation, refunds, compliance, fit, and team behaviour before paying incentives.
Guide 05 Separate available, booked, delivered, cancelled, admin, development, leave, and recovery time. Never interpret one ratio without service quality and workload.
Guide 06 Give each SOP a trigger, purpose, owner, steps, evidence, exception path, training, version, and review date. Retire duplicates.
Guide 07 Twelve gym metrics with definitions, formulas and a completed fictional week. Connect enquiries, membership, attendance, collections and unresolved issues to decisions.
Guide 08 Match each meeting to decisions, preparation, metrics, actions, owners, and follow-through. Cancel meetings that merely read dashboards aloud.
Guide 09 Define payroll and revenue scope, then interpret service model, utilization, season, outsourcing, owner labour, and quality before cutting people.
Guide 10 Resolve suspected duplicate gym records without losing payments or contact restrictions. Follow a worked reconciliation and a completed correction log.
