Just a few thoughts
As we approach the holidays the news tends to slow down. But still good stuff below – a few things for gym staff and owners, crag notes, athlete interviews, and a few chuckles.
At CBJ it’s a big week. Our gym staff compensation survey just dropped – please take it, and share it with your peers so we get a broad snapshot of this important issue. Also by Monday we expect to release a robust US market analysis report and dashboard, the first of it’s kind. And tomorrow we launch our new website after years of development. A hearty thank you to our small team at CBJ who has been hustling here before the holidays!
