318. Coaching longevity and end game - a podcast by Jason Ackerman

My name is xxx I’m 24 years old, head coach at CrossFit xxx in xxx! I coach 15-20 classes a week and have 25 personal training sessions a week.

I make just under 3k a month which isn’t bad but obviously it’s not good.

My question is what does the end game of a full time CrossFit coach look like? How is there any retirement or even supporting a family by coaching CrossFit. As a head coach who enjoys coaching and helping others, how can I make this a career? If CrossFit as an organization could somehow take care of their full time coaches and gym owners with insurance and retirement plan it would be so much easier to keep coaches bought in for the long haul, and focus on being a professional coach instead of coaching as a hobby.

I don’t know if you are familiar with the 4/9th model. But basically any PT or specialty course I do I only take in 44.4% of it. And the gym takes 55.6% of it. This never seems fair to me I would like to get your thoughts on it as well. And if it’s not fair how should I go about making it fair?
