For almost a decade, CrossFit affiliate owners followed a misguided mantra:

"CrossFit is done in big groups only."

In 2026, we know this is false. CrossFit is an incredible tool you can use to get clients fit, and you can deliver coaching one on one, in semi-private groups, in small groups and in big groups. The more individual attention a client receives, the higher the rate.

That's critical: High-value services such as PT help CrossFit gyms dramatically increase average revenue per member (ARM). Back in the day, ARM scores of $100-$150 were common, and many gym owners struggled to make a profit.

Now, with PT sales and group-plus-PT "hybrid packages," CrossFit gyms can push ARM north of $200.

Chris Vasseur of Bionic CrossFit is the proof: His ARM is $400+ on the strength of PT sales.

The best part: Vasseur doesn't get slimy to sell PT. He just tells people exactly how to accomplish their goals.

"Want to be able to link 20 double-unders? I can teach you. Let's book a one-on-one slot next week."

It's that simple.

Tune in as host Mike Warkentin gets all the details from a CrossFit affiliate owner who uses real talk and a desire to help to sell lots of PT.
