STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Gym manager monthly checklist: questions worth asking.
Why split the month into three?
Work bunches up at month end when everything waits. Spreading it across the month leaves time to act on what the mid-month checks find.
Can area managers use it?
Yes. Use one checklist per club and review them together, focusing on overdue items and decisions needed.
What should the owner report include?
Results against targets, spend, incidents, open maintenance, and the decisions or approvals the manager needs.
