Your No. 1 Aim as a Fitness Club Operator – Maximise Customer Value !

Sometimes we are guilty as operators with obsessing about signing new members.

Of course that’s important but NOT if we leave vast potential profits on the table by neglecting the vital activity of maximising customer value of every new member you sign.

If you could double or treble your members’ annual secondary spends, how happy would your boss be?

What if you could retain more members per quarter by reengaging ‘sleepers’, all keen to enjoy a range of targeted fitness programmes?

Imagine Your new members’ delight with a range of starter programmes chosen according to exercise history: a training motivation that could put your club streets ahead of the competition?

Think of the delight of your personal trainers when they can advertise their skills and services to your members 24/7, for their own financial gain and the satisfaction of helping customers stay active?

And your members? They’ll be overjoyed by your club that not only remembers them if they fall off the exercise wagon, but tracks them down before their sleep-state becomes comatose.

It’s time to get S.M.A.R.T. at your Club

Attracting the Deconditioned User to Your Club

Adult membership of UK fitness clubs is now at just over 13% Many smart operators are looking at ways to broaden their market appeal and here’s how we have helped them with these case studies.

GCLL launch the ‘Medi-Fit’ Scheme in conjunction with Momentum

clients to their GP for a letter of authorisation, then never seeing them again.

Everyone knows how exercise can offset the effects of ill health…

Yet while people certainly benefit by following an exercise programme, many don’t know where to go for the right advice.

And even the most obvious sources of information aren’t always reliable – or available.

(Please note: This is NOT A G.P REFERRAL PROGRAMME )

* Recent research showed that individuals are 40 times more likely to ask a doctor for advice about exercise than a personal trainer.

Rob Swain, Chief Executive at Gravesham Community Leisure Ltd saw immediately the benefits of retaining their own club Medical Director:

* Yet a survey of more than 700 UK GPs has revealed that 1 in 4 practices currently have a 2-week wait for an appointment.

* A doctor qualified in sports & exercise medicine that screened GCLL members and DEALS DIRECTLY with those who have a positive risk factor

* Almost 20% of GPs say that by 2017 the wait will exceed 3 weeks.

* An indispensible in-house resource that can only increase your clients’ confidence in your club. * An end to referring potential www.momentumbd.co.uk

Momentum Newsletter.indd 5

Even assuming you’re lucky enough to see your GP quickly, will you get the RIGHT advice, or any at all? Given the facts – a recent Scottish study of GP practices found that just 5% of doctors actually ask about a patient’s exercise history during a

consultation – the smart money’s against it.

So why do you think the stats are so low?

Aren’t these so-called professionals medically trained in the benefits of exercise? Don’t doctors advocate the idea that ‘exercise is medicine’? Apparently not! It’s a shocking and little known fact that sports & exercise medicine is not on the curriculum for new doctor training in the UK or the USA. So imagine the community benefits – not to mention commercial advantages – of your club retaining its own Medical Director.

With Medi Fit, clients will choose YOUR club because it’s the only nearby facility they’ll enjoy a prescribed, medically-supervised exercise regime. This is NOT an exercise referral scheme, but a bespoke fitness programme that’s pronounced safe and effective by those most qualified.

And as it’s all part of your clients’ cost of membership – a unique benefit you can proudly flag up in your promotional activities – they’ll be beating a path to your door!

fitness team. They’ll know the client is ready for induction and can review the doctor’s recommendations.

• Finally the doctor sends an email to the client, with a copy to notify the client’s own GP of the intervention.

On any level, Medi-Fit has to make sense… √√ Community engagement √√ Social responsibility √√ Practical heath initiative √√ Gives your club a powerful USP in a crowded market √√ Makes you money through increased sales √√ Establishes you as an authority, enhancing your reputation as a professional club

How the Medi-Fit programme works The medical screen • Clients are screened at point of sale using an adaptation of the Canadian Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q).

• Clients are enrolled as club members as normal.

Automatic Alerts to the Doctor • The completed PAR-Q is scanned and uploaded to our Momentum CRM system. This monitors the progress of the new client, with a reference point for all programme stakeholders.

• If the screening form identifies risk factors, the individual’s record will be registered as having a POSITIVE PAR-Q 6 | Momentum Business Development Newsletter

Momentum Newsletter.indd 6

result.

• The medical practitioner is then automatically notified of the customer’s need for a consultation.

• As a club you need do nothing more than load the system with the PAR-Q. And it all happens using the magic of technology and the web!

Automatic notification to the fitness team • Alerted automatically, the doctor can view clients’ complete contact details and their PAR-Q results via the CRM system.

• The doctor then carries out the telephone consultation, after which the next action will be one or more of the following: ○○ Safe, suitable exercises for the client are noted on the system, for the information of the fitness professionals setting the client programme. ○○ A further face-to-face consultation is arranged in the Centre to obtain more information before proceeding with an exercise prescription (as above). ○○ Individuals may be rejected as unsuitable for exercise and the system notified. The client will then receive a refund of any programme payments made.

• After consultation an automated email alerts the

The whole Medi-Fit process is seamless, automatic and needs NO EXPERIENCE on the part of your club management or your fitness team!

It only takes about 4 weeks to set up Medi Fit – a programme that could be improving your bottom line for years to come.

We can supply you with ready-toroll Medi-Fit promotional support packs. These cover both online and offline campaigns and PR activity to keep prospects in the loop by way of your local media.

Medi-Fit really is the easiest programme of its type we’ve seen – as well as one of the most immediate generators of revenue and profit for your business.

Secondary Spend and Improved Member Satisfaction

London Borough of Richmond upon Thames: “The platform runs very smoothly for us. We have 6 sites and the platform runs on all of them - customers just book online, which means we have less calls on our really busy lines. When we have issues the Momentum team helps us straight away, whether it is by email or call - issues are resolved really quickly.”

Caroline, Hub Duty Manager

Slough Leisure, Mike Corby Clubs, and The Atrium Club launch Momentum’s Online Booking System to develop non member secondary spend and improve member satisfaction.

The Clue is in the numbers…

• 13.2% - Adult membership of UK fitness clubs • 38%- Adults interested in taking a group exercise class if available to them!!!

THREE times the market size compared to Membership !! Do the Math!

The rise of spinning and other group exercise classes alongside this increasing number of customers interested in taking classes has led astute operators to spot the commercial opportunity of advertising there class programme to a fee paying customer.

In many cases by selling classes in bundles of 10, 20 and 30, operators are able to realise financial transactions which totally dwarf what they generate from www.momentumbd.co.uk

Momentum Newsletter.indd 7

membership fees.

For many operators, it’s another £2- £3k per month and it’s straight to the bottom line!

What’s needed to be successful is a combination of a great website that helps market the club to non-members and a technology that makes it easy for everyone to use and buy from as well as facilitating member online booking use. Several years ago we saw that there was a weakness in the quality of online booking technology being supplied within larger management systems. We sourced a really clever application and gave it to our web design team to create something very bespoke and super easy for customers to use The scheduling and reservation system that gives you all the features you need to manage and rapidly grow your club.

It’s very flexible and can be used by any size fitness business – from yoga studio, small clubs to fitness chains and much more.

Godalming Fitness “Momentum Booking platform is just great, it just does the job! Very usefull, seamlessly integrates with our website.

The main benefit is that nonmembers and members can book from their mobiles, tablets, and desktops leaving us more time to focus on the gym floor.

The support is absolutely the nuts!”

Peter Niblett, Club Manager

Synergy Leisure Centres “We are extremely happy with the service at Momentum, I find the Momentum Booking platform good and easy to use.

I can email Momentum at any time and all my requests gets sorted out quickly, so I have no complaints.”

Comment Piece

vs Source: mamkeng.wordpress.com

I’ve just put down last month’s issue of Health Club Management

great sales people like we need them now

One of the industry’s leading research companies Pro Insight have published some insights into membership sales performance

The poor consumer can’t understand, when all clubs roughly look the same, some are offering memberships as low as £15- 29.99 and another group from £40 northwards.

Often I take these sorts of reports with a LARGE pinch of salt. After all 86% of leisure research is made up!!! (That’s a very bad joke I’ve just slipped in by the way) But in this particular case I take this article from Pro Insight very seriously for 2 reasons:

Of course there are fundamental differences in the way the clubs operate and, service members and adds value. This is where the role of the membership advisor comes into its own…

1. I know them and I know they’re very very good at what they do.

As I said in the browser ‘frankly I’m astounded‘ and I am. Here’s why …

2. They do a lot of it so I know these results won’t be skewed by a small data set

Here are the headlines (so you don’t have to read it yourself)

Which makes it all the sadder when you digest the results of this survey :

Read and WEEP …..

Ladies and gentlemen, may I take this opportunity to remind you that we, the fitness industry find ourselves in a state of commercial ‘civil war’ between the ’wicked’ low cost clubs on the one hand and those who represent the Premium and serviced club market on the other.

We have never had a need for www.momentumbd.co.uk

Momentum Newsletter.indd 11

Brace yourselves –

SAD FACT 1 Only 60% of face to face enquiries are asked for contact details at all! (What !!!! ) SAD FACT 2 44% of all face 2 face tourers are not asked to join! (Picky aren’t you!!!

SAD FACT 3

Source: www.abouttimemagazine.co.uk

ONLY 35 % of face to face enquiries are followed up within 48 hours SAD FACT 4 33% of face to face tourers felt that there NEEDS were not being properly considered SAD FACT 5 25% felt a good level of rapport had not been established The report went on to look at sector differences and COUNCILS cam BOTTOM! Only 28% of prospects were EVER asked to JOIN!!! (WOW!) It doesn’t make great reading does it?

Hopefully we can help if your club COULD be committing any of these ‘crimes’ We carry out a range of membership sales services for our clients We invent sales systems for fitness clubs

Engaging staff personalities 2. Solid business processes that are replicable 3. Management prowess to ensure that your people are motivated to deliver the agreed behaviours and trained completely in the processes.

Systemising your business is therefore one of the major keys to success. Its important to ensure that the processes you use are replicable and trainable to others in your organisation.

I’d like to suggest that you take this opportunity to book a day soon, along with your top colleagues to take a long hard critical look at your customer experience model and to analyse from the top down whether it needs any tweaking, development or dramatic overhaul.

Momentum has developed a combined seminar and workshop day that does exactly that......

The core of the day is a seminar presentation based on global industry best practice, the 7 key foundations of customer service excellence and innovative strategies from the commercial fitness field.

We encourage you throughout the presentation to engage in sessions of debate where we stimulate your team to discuss your current programmes, its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, leading to the end result of the formulation of a new plan of what, how, when and where.

The day will cover reviews of sales and marketing philosophy, promotional offers, sales processes, membership and pricing policies, member journeys, retention strategies and fitness service offerings. It will also look at the role of technology, staff structure, planning systems and the actions of management.

Because we want to help you to make change quickly in an easily adoptable framework , we will also be showing you a planning framework and adoption timetable which you will be able to take away to act on the best parts of the day as soon as your team return to work.

Whenever and wherever we do the session, clients tell us how

valuable an exercise it has been.

They find it enormously beneficial to take an all too rare opportunity to review their operation (particularly the customer service model ) for quality, direction and to ensure it matches their overarching vision.

Here’s some feedback from our most recent day with Wellington Fitness Clubs management team: “Just a quick line of thanks for what was a very informative, productive and enjoyable session. I haven’t spoken to my guys yet but from their initial responses they also thoroughly enjoyed the day.”

Ian Davis , General Manager “It was a very good seminar. Lots and lots of great ideas of which we could definitely capitalise on.”Scott – Fitness manager “Lots of great ideas to pick from and implement from January.”Lorraine – Customer Service Manager “A great day – thanks. Lots to think about – changes to make – but not all at once!”- Nikki – Group Exercise Co –Ordinator If you are interested in running a session with your team then please give me a call.

We look forward to working with you in the future.
