Intro to the high intensity world
In the past 30 years or so of the modern health club era, the mid-market club has reigned supreme.
For consumers getting fit meant joining a traditional health club as a one-stop-shop where they got all their fitness needs met. Sure, they might also have some home exercise DVDs and run outdoors, but the central focus was always the health club.
The fitness consumer of today has changed. Health and wellness are no longer discretionary activities but rather a core part of their very identity. They wear yoga pants, running shoes and a Fitbit® everywhere they go as symbols of their active lifestyle. They no longer accept bland or boring experiences and are willing to pay for craft experiences which provide deeper benefits of community, high personalisation and for some a cult-like sense of purpose and belonging. It’s not about losing weight or getting fit – it’s about connecting with a purpose and strengthening their sense of self.
Here’s to the future…
Today is a good day
So, Group Exercise… The Best Kept Fitness Secret? Not anymore!
- 85 – 90% people prefer to exercise in a group (IHRSA)
- 6% drop out from individual program vs 18.2% in a group program (Massie & Shephard)
- 66% of new members leave within the first 6 months of signing up…(Another reason to engage them in a group activity at point of sale!!!) (FIA)
- Sticking with the club is determined by the amount they use the club in the first 6 weeks…(Another reason to engage them in a group activity at point of sale!!!) (FIA)
- Members that participate in group exercise, as opposed to gym only users, are 84 percent more likely to recommend their facility to a friend or family member.
