THREE AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY

www.ideafit.com
When we ask people why they want to join a fitness club they say things like weight loss, toning up, getting fitter, feeling better, improving their health.
These all come under the heading of “results”. But people can get these results without joining or coming to the gym
THE INTERESTING TRUTH ABOUT RESULTS
© 2013 IDEA Health & Fitness Association. All Rights Reserved.
www.ideafit.com
Because they lack MOTIVATION
We are in the motivation business.
Whether they know it or not, the world’s best clubs are
masters of meeting this need…
SO WHY DO THEY JOIN OUR CLUBS?

“If you can’t measure something you can’t manage it.” Q1: So how do we measure motivation? Q2: How do we know if we’re doing a great job of motivating people?
HOW CAN WE MANAGE MOTIVATION?
© 2013 IDEA Health & Fitness Association. All Rights Reserved.
www.ideafit.com
In simple terms we can assess our performance by member attendance and their frequency
Become obsessive around understanding what makes members attend more often and measuring this
People who attend the club more often will refer more friends, stay longer and pay more. Attendance is the most important metric in our industry.

• Education = Motivation
• Between 2006-2016 the cost of the American health system will almost double to $4.1 trillion per year*.
• It seems that our health is deteriorating at almost as quickly as these costs are increasing. The current system clearly isn’t working - there’s got to be a better way!

#3 COMMUNITY MAKE CLUBS MORE SOCIAL
The most powerful way to create social connections is to offer assisted exercise:
1. Personal Training
2. Small Group Team Training
3. Group Exercise

BENCHMARKS FOR HIGH PERFORMING FACILITIES
Research indicates that group exercise is the most effective way of creating motivation for the average fitness member and for the vast majority of fitness facilities Group exercise attracts and motivates the masses. Some of the world’s most successful facilities have over 50% of their attendances in group exercise. “Group Exercise members attend more regularly, remain members for longer, make more referrals, perceive greater value in their memberships (i.e. will pay more) and do not leave when a budget gym opens nearby!”1

The research on top operators with high weekly attendance highlights that five categories drive three quarters of all weekly group exercise attendance. Offering at least one “best in category” format is critical to driving high weekly group exercise attendance . Many operators make the strategic mistake of either offering mediocre quality in the five key categories and or offering too many formats in the other category

2. Simplify your offerings: • 8 to 12 great programs versus 45+ activities
3. Think horizontally, not vertically. • In each 2-hour time slot, offer: • At least one opportunity per week to do a cardio, strength/toning,
mind body/stretching workout • Your ‘core’ programs at least twice a week
4. Give instructors class ownership
• Subject to a review of performance vs. targets
5. Consider scheduling express classes
• 30 or 45 mins

MANAGEMENT TO PINPOINT THE CAUSE OF UNDERPERFORMING TIME SLOTS

5 POSSIBLE AREAS OF UNDERPERFORMANCE
POTENTIAL CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM
PROGRAM Poor quality, poor fit for club, wrong program for time-slot
INSTRUCTOR Poor instructing skill-set, instructor doesn’t fit essence of program; instructor doesn’t teach appropriately for audience (i.e. necessary options)
TIME-SLOT Tough time-slot to fill (warning: don’t jump to conclusions too soon!)
MARKETING Program isn’t being effectively marketing internally or externally
INTERNAL COMMUNICATION/POLITICS
Group of members or staff undermining program success or ‘boycotting’ classes

CREATE A WORLD-CLASS DESTINATION 5 TOP EXPERIENTIAL DESIGN PRIORITIES TO ENHANCE PARTICIPANTS’ EXPERIENCE 1. Sound and microphone: The best you can afford – think concert; if
unbalanced, it makes a difference to attendee experience
2. Stage: Design and position – big enough to fit 2 or 3 instructors. Think theater and minimizing side views if possible. Use side screens and backdrop – project mood-enhancing images
3. Lighting: Theatrical stage lighting to enhance dramatic impact
4. Mirrors: Have none if possible or have them at the side – never behind the stage, as they distract and detract from the experience
5. Décor: Colors and branding can be very powerful to enhance mood – it should feel like a strong, athletic, fun ‘zone’

Health club attendance has become the biggest adult “sport” in the Western World. Bigger than football, tennis and golf combined.
But we have traditionally lacked the excitement and social engagement of sports, and behaved more as gyms than as true health clubs. The faster we can change that, the bigger our future
