The Art of Keeping Gym Members Happy When it comes to retaining gym members, genuine interest beats trying to impress. Here are some practical steps for gym owners: 1. Show Interest: Focus on your members. Ask about their progress, their lives, and listen actively. People appreciate when you care about them, not just about showing off your gym's features. 2. Facilitate Conversations: People enjoy talking about themselves. Follow the principles from "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by using their names and letting them share their experiences. This builds goodwill and a positive relationship. 3. Encourage Consistency: Remind members that their primary job is to attend classes and stay consistent with their training. Emphasize that results and enjoyment will naturally follow. By genuinely connecting with your members, you'll create a welcoming gym environment where they feel valued and motivated to keep coming back.

Thirty minutes – one mission – to get us all moving! Leading UK gym operator, Everyone Active, wants to encourage everyone to try to do at least 30 minutes of activity five times a week. But they recognise that while for some this might be a walk in the park – for others, particularly those with diverse needs and differently abled – going to a gym can be a daunting challenge. With inclusivity as their top priority and a desire to make their leisure centres welcoming, unintimidating and accessible, this forward-thinking provider took the plunge and invested in digital twin technology which allows potential gym-goers to know before they go! New and interactive virtual tours mean prospective visitors can explore and get a sense of the ‘look and feel’ of their local centre – helping ease potential anxiety and making that 30-minute mantra feel like a lighter lift.

As you’re probably aware by now I’m a big fan of the simplest steps we can take to improve our health. So here’s another one…. Use the amenities available to you. It’s fairly common for office buildings to have gyms in them. I’ll say that again but differently. The place you are going multiple days per week anyways has a gym. This means no gym membership fee. No extra commute to the gym. It doesn’t really get more convenient than that. The tip of the day: Make your in office days your workout days if your building has a gym. It’s the good old two birds with one stone. #healthyliving #healthyworking

⚠️NEW ARTICLE! "#Gym #climbing constraints and negotiations during the #pandemic". Authors: KoFan Lee, Daniel Peretti & Pii-Shiuan Wu. Available now in World Leisure Journal, the official #journal of World Leisure Organization: https://lnkd.in/g-R7xE-N ABSTRACT In this conceptual paper, we explore the impact of the pandemic, along with governmental and gym safety measures on gym climbing participation. We explain how internal and external forces have hindered participation and how gym climbers negotiated with those constraints during the pandemic. Drawing from secondary data sources in climbing-related media and organizations, we first illustrate how climbing gyms adapted their safety policies from shutdown to reopening phases. This highlights the role of pandemic and safety measures in shaping structural, interpersonal, and intrapersonal constraints. The conceptual explication of pandemic-induced gym climbing constraints enables us to further analyse how individuals adjusted their participation and devised alternatives to sustain their climbing activities. Our discussion contributes to the understanding of human perceptions and responses in crisis situation and highlights avenues for future research, particularly in relation to gym professionals and climbers’ responsibilities and resources in addressing collective societal challenges and sustaining exercise engagement. #bouldering #leisure #research
