"Most owners are the system," said Jim Thomas, founder of Fitness Management & Consulting. "The whole business is in their head, so it leaves when they do. If they get sick, take a vacation, or try to sell, the operation goes with them. This library puts what a well-run club does every day in writing, so the business runs the same way whether the owner is in the building or not."

Individual manuals are priced from $19.99 to $29.99. The six-manual Core Suite is $129 and the Complete Library is $229, at fmconsulting.net/gym-operations-library/. A launch sale runs November 27-30, with the Complete Library at $149 and the Core Suite at $89.
