1. Health Fitness Management
2019 by Mike Bates, Mike Spezzano, Guy Danhoff
Managing a health and fitness club is a bit like running a highly energetic zoo where the animals pay membership fees, expect constant motivation and occasionally attempt deadlifts they have no business attempting. Health Fitness Management (now in its third edition, meaning at least two previous attempts to perfect this madness have been made) is the ultimate guide to keeping everything from gym equipment to staff morale from collapsing under the weight of pure chaos. Written by industry experts who presumably still have their sanity intact, this book walks you through the art of hiring the right people, keeping members happy (or at least too exhausted to complain) and ensuring your facility doesn't turn into a bureaucratic nightmare of liability waivers and malfunctioning treadmills. Updated with the latest industry trends, legal insights and even tips on managing social media pages without causing a PR disaster, this edition is essential reading for anyone who wants to run a successful fitness business—or at least survive one without fleeing to a quiet life of yoga in the mountains. Complete with practical forms, learning objectives and an instructor guide for those who wish to impose this wisdom upon unsuspecting students, Health Fitness Management is the definitive handbook for anyone brave enough to take charge of the ever-demanding world of health and fitness facilities.

2. Health Fitness Management: A Comprehensive Resource for Managing and Operating Programs and Facilities
2018 by Mike Bates
Running a health and fitness facility is a lot like juggling kettlebells while riding a treadmill—doable, but only if you know exactly what you’re doing (and preferably have a good liability waiver). Health Fitness Management: A Comprehensive Resource for Managing and Operating Programs and Facilities (now in its second edition, meaning the first one was so useful that people demanded more) is the definitive guide to navigating the glorious, chaotic world of fitness club management. Whether you're wrangling members who refuse to wipe down machines, attempting to inspire staff without resorting to interpretive dance, or trying to keep the whole operation financially afloat without selling protein shakes at gold bar prices, this book has you covered. Packed with real-life anecdotes (Tales From the Trenches, which suggests at least some managers have survived to tell the tale), insightful summaries (The Bottom Line, for those who prefer wisdom in digestible form) and a treasure trove of practical tools—including reproducible forms that will save you from drowning in paperwork—this edition is an essential read for both aspiring fitness overlords and seasoned pros alike. With bonus resources for instructors and an ever-expanding list of ways to stop a gym from imploding, this book is less of a guide and more of a survival manual for the brave souls running the fitness industry.

3. Start Your Own Personal Training Business: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Success
2016 by The Staff of Entrepreneur Media, Cheryl Kimball
Starting a personal training business is a bit like deciding to wrestle a bear for money—it sounds like a great idea until you realize you need a plan, a strategy and possibly some insurance. Start Your Own Personal Training Business: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Success is here to ensure that your entrepreneurial dreams don’t collapse under the weight of poorly thought-out business decisions (or a particularly heavy barbell). Packed with expert advice, this guide walks you through everything from crafting a business plan that won’t implode to finding your niche in a world already overflowing with protein shakes and unsolicited fitness advice. Whether you’re setting up a boutique gym, partnering with schools, or just trying to convince people that squats are the answer to everything, this book gives you the tools to succeed—preferably without having to live off energy bars and optimism alone.

4. How to Build Your Own Fitness Boot Camp
2015 by Jesse Stoddard
Building a fitness boot camp is a bit like leading a small army, except instead of swords, your troops are armed with kettlebells and instead of battle cries, you get a lot of groaning about burpees. How to Build Your Own Fitness Boot Camp is the definitive guide for anyone who’s ever thought, "I’d love to get paid to make people do push-ups in a park!" but had no idea where to start. In this step-by-step master plan, Jesse Stoddard reveals how to turn an empty field, a handful of eager (or reluctant) participants and a well-timed whistle into a money-making fitness empire—one that could have you raking in $300 an hour while watching people sweat and question their life choices. Praised by industry experts and featured on The Fitness Boot Camp Inner Circle Podcast (which presumably exists in a circle of very fit, very sweaty people), this book is your ultimate shortcut to boot camp success. If you’ve ever wanted to transform lives, build a thriving business and yell motivational things at strangers without getting arrested, this is your moment.
