Affiliate Scenario: Your new affiliate is growing, but slowly. Your members are happy, and you gain two or three new people a month, but you'd like 10 or 15 new members per month. A friend tells you to buy a lighted sign because you're on a busy road, but your business partner wants you to offer discounted memberships, while you think maybe an "incentive" program for referrals would help. What do you do? Post answers/tips to Comments.
The third annual CrossFit Affiliate Gathering (FilFest 2010) is in Miami Beach in just 10 days! Register now before it's too late and you miss out!

Jaime Arashiro (kneeling in photo) of CrossFit Peru steps into the CrossFit Affiliate Snapshot.
- Affiliate since: September 2008
- Location: Lima, Peru
- Sq Ft: 2000 sf. (Half for gym, half for bathroom and offices.)
- Number of members: About 50
- How many times have you moved your affiliate location? Once. At first we worked out of my house. Then I rented a space in a gym and painted it blue. This is what we now affectionately call "The Blue Box".
- Greatest joy as a CrossFit affiliate: The opportunity to change the world by changing others lives by changing mine.
- Biggest worry as a CrossFit affiliate: The possibility that the CrossFit name gets a bad reputation because of false CF instructors in this part of the world. I know that the position of CFHQ on this subject is to do my job well and people will choose quality . . .
