Jim Thomas is the well-known founder and president of Fitness Management USA, Inc., a management consulting and turnaround firm specializing in the fitness and health club industry. With over 25 years of experience owning, operating and managing clubs of all sizes, Mr. Thomas lectures and delivers seminars and workshops across the country on the practical skills required to successfully build teamwork and market fitness programs and products.
If you answered "No" to any of these questions, we would like to talk to you about the things you need to do to change the answer to "Yes." Fitness Management & Consulting is a results-oriented company that provides consulting and full-scale management services exclusivley for the health and fitness industry.
As an owner of an independent club, I found myself somewhat isolated within the world of health clubs. Jim gave me a window into the entire industry. In doing so, he was able to directly affect the large increase in our sales and to streamline our expenses. The end result was a 22% profit margin. If you can get him, get him!
Our focus is to help you shorten the learning curve, maximize profitability and become a "trusted partner" as you develop your new business. Be your own boss and own your own health club or gym. We can help a qualified buyer with the opportunity to be their own boss and earn an above average income.
Health Club Sales Training is what we do best at FMC Sales Training Academy. Our powerful sales training program will motivate your sales force and generate greater profits. We're the sales training leader in the health club industry. In working with club-after-club, the single most common denominator for clubs that are not maximizing their opportunity is a failure to properly implement sales and marketing programs.

I highly recommend Jim Thomas as a very savvy expert in Fitness Management & Consulting. I met Jim several years ago when I worked with him as an interpreter at Krav Maga Mexico. He is passionate, tenacious, hard-working, conscientious, detailed-oriented, and courteous. Jim has excellent communication skills and he is extremely focused on results.… Jim did a tremendous job at Krav Maga Mexico. I was impressed with this skills to connect with his audience conveying concise, meaningful, and interesting case studies that illustrated how highly committed sales representatives can achieve

I'v known Jim for over 25 years. I first used him to establish a Marketing and Sales Procedures for my two Clubs in Irving and Lewisville . Both clubs where under 12k sq. ft. and gross over $1.3 and $1.5 in sales per year( 60%) increase. As a owner I have to say it was the single most impactful thing I did to help increase the clubs production. I'v used his basic fundamentals the last 20 years in our Youth Baseball Facilities I highly recommend Jim to help your Club(s) with there operations.

Jim Thomas is professional, thorough and very....very well versed. I found hiring him to be worth many times more than what I paid to my business and my own personal growth as an entrepreneur. It will not be the last time I hire him and I would recommend him to anyone wishing to make their fitness or martial arts business better! Thank you Jim!

I have been working with Jim Thomas for over 5 years. His knowledge and expertise in the health and fitness industry and marketplace is incredible. Any gym owner that needs help growing their membership with new leads and sales would benefit from his consultation. I have seen him help new gym owners to get started with great success also.

I had to use Jim’s system at a gym I worked at and the practices made me feel like a slime ball. He doesn’t care if people can’t afford your product, he teaches you how to swindle people out of their money. He encouraged us to engage in such practices as “raffling THE CHANCE to win a car” or cruise or whatever else would get people to give us… money. What that means is telling people they can win something that you have no Intention of giving away by putting crazy stipulations on the raffle. Done with that company and so glad to be done listening to long webinars

Jim Thomas is that perfect balance of consultant/practitioner. Possessing an expertise born of fighting in the trenches, Jim's practical knowledge of strategies which move fitness consumers to buy into a gym brand is a weaponized blueprint that will help gym owners multiply revenues and grow their membership base.
