When you publish instantly from a CL account, there is no extra verification. Even so, there is a caveat.

Club Solutions: What are some new trends that are being implemented in personal training and what type of changes do you see coming in the future?

Fit Express: Trainers are going to have to find ways to handle multiple clients in an efficient yet personalized manner. I see it as more of a cross between conventional personal training methods and group exercise. With the changing demographics (the huge influx of 76M baby boomers) personal trainers are going to have to be able to accommodate both the needs and wants of these individuals while facing a different challenge due to their physical limitations. Safety will increase in importance as well as finding more user friendly ways to accommodate the needs of this market. Finding a way to make it more fun and social is also important to these folks.

Club Solutions: How do clubs use your product or service for personal training and how can it be used to ensure that members stay in the club longer?

Fit Express: Our equipment isn’t designed to keep members in longer, but to give them the benefits they seek in less time. This will keep them happy, coming back frequently, and telling their friends and family about it. Our equipment is designed to get the best results with Fluid Interval Training (FIT), which is a hybrid version of cardio (aerobic) exercise and resistance (anaerobic) set training using continuous movement during and in-between set intervals. The Fit Express hydraulic equipment allows users to quickly and easily control their cardio-to-strength ratio during the set to customize their workout for optimal results. The workout/equipment surpasses the original circuit training model by being much more efficient. FIT along with the Fit Express circuit will allow your trainer to easily monitor multiple members getting a quick cardio and strength combination workout, regardless of each members current conditioning or exercise knowledge level.

Club Solutions: What are the benefits of your products and services?

Fit Express: The biggest benefit of adding FIT is to provide a better exercise experience for your members. The FIT circuit provides exactly what your members are looking for-a quick, easy, safe, and fun workout that will provide them the best results possible using easy-to-understand and non-intimidating equipment. Gyms typically have a 20-30% drop out rate, but we feel adding the FIT circuit could dramatically improve this figure. In addition to the serendipitous benefits resulting from providing an experience your members will love, as well as one your competition isn’t, there are direct immediate benefits for the club owner as well. This includes more efficient use of floor space, reduced member injuries, and reduced costs in equipment maintenance. However, the most significant benefit to the owner would be the revenue potential that adding FIT (Fluid Interval Training) Group Personal Training could provide to their gym.

Club Solutions: Why should clubs consider your type of products and services in their personal training departments how easy is it to implement within the club?

Fit Express: Implementing our workout is very simple and the ROI is relatively fast. Having a new and exciting way to workout definitely helps with attracting new members and retention of current members by improving results and providing more variety. The FIT workout/equipment is fun and safe for everyone, from pre-teens to seniors, from the weak to the strong, from the healthy to those with special conditions, the beginner or the advanced fitness enthusiast. Members find our workout easy yet challenging, not intimidating, and fun to do. Combining all of the best elements of circuit training and personal training, FIT is a safer, quicker (in both workout and in results), and more efficient and cost-effective use of floor space and trainer time.

Club Solutions: What type of business opportunity does personal training offer a health club and why?

Fit Express: Personal training gives members that can afford it the opportunity to reach new fitness levels and accomplish results much quicker. People push themselves harder and stay focused longer when they have a knowledgeable professional to help guide them along their path to accomplish their fitness goals. The main two problems would be with todays’ gym’s inefficient approach towards personal training. First off, personal training is expensive and the mass majority of people in our economy can’t afford it. Secondly, it is commonplace today for gyms to offer a complimentary session to showcase the benefits of PT to new members, but optimal results can’t be delivered this way. Muscle imbalances need to be pinpointed and addressed. Nutrition and lifestyle need to be in line in order for members to even notice short-term gains. The most efficient way for the gym, the personal trainer, and the member to all receive what they seek is to offer group personal training. This can best be accomplished with an exercise system such as Fluid Interval Training which will allow one trainer to be able to effectively manage multiple people all with different capabilities and goals.

Club Solutions: How does your product or service improve the member personal training experience for the club? And why is this important?

Fit Express: Members will get instant benefits from using the FIT (Fluid Interval Training) system. In order for members to get the best and fastest results from working out is for them to do both cardio and strength training. Many people neglect strength training for two main reasons. One, because they are unaware of the various ways resistance training can benefit them (that cardio alone can’t do), and two, many others are just intimidated by the equipment’s large weight stacks and confusing seating, levers, and control arms. While Circuit Training gets people to do resistance training, it doesn’t provide an answer to number two, in fact it compounds the problem because your already rushing which is more likely to cause injuries or a less-than-optimal rushed workout at best. The answer is Fluid Interval Training. The FIT circuit will allow your members to reap the full benefits of both cardio and strength training simultaneously while cutting their necessary time in the gym in half. Members will experience a reduction in muscle and joint soreness (compared to traditional weight training), less frustration dealing with or altogether avoiding the other resistance machines, and get to come to a more friendly and social workout atmosphere. Members state that they like the fact the equipment is not intimidating and so easy you just get on and go. Personal trainers are allowed to monitor the progress of multiple people while still giving them the space and control to customize their workout.

Club Solutions: Why should clubs consider personal training?

Fit Express: Personal training provides an opportunity for clubs to increase their revenue by offering a more personalized service to their members. At select times, this is exactly what some people need-personalized, one-on-one assistance to help motivate them and give them professional advice and guidance. I think a more profitable, and equally more accommodating solution for the average person is to offer Group Personal Training using the FIT Fluid Interval Training workout system along with the Fit Express Signature Series hydraulic fitness equipment. This will allow clubs to provide most of the same personalized experience for their members at a very reduced rate (that most members will be able to afford). Since it will only take one personal trainer to easily train multiple people the club, the trainer, and the members will all reap the benefits they seek.

Britons are now more aware than ever before about the benefits of regular exercise, but this has not been reflected in higher attendances at the gym. Following several years of expansion from 2005-06 to 2008-09, growth of the Gyms and Fitness Centres industry began to slow as the recession caused a fall in discretionary spending on recreation. Gym-goers are looking for value from their memberships, with many trading down from premium health clubs to more basic and inexpensive fitness options. For some, this means switching to a cheaper plan or fitness club once membership renewal comes up; others cancel the gym membership altogether.

Growing tired of the same gym routine, consumers are also looking for alternative ways to get fit by taking up running; joining yoga and pilates studios; and attending personal training and boot camp sessions conducted outdoors. Boot camp programs have enjoyed strong popularity and growth over the last five years, with organisations such as British Military Fitness training up to 13,000 members in parks across the United Kingdom. Personal training services have also become a popular alternative to traditional gym workouts. The Gyms and Fitness Centres industry covers all revenue earned by gyms and health and fitness clubs, which includes personal training services offered through a gym but not the revenue earned by independent personal trainers. Consequently, gyms are losing some market share to these alternative recreation options. The range of services and memberships offered by the industry has increased over the past five years as operators have sought to carve out their own market niche. Competition within the industry is strong, and fitness clubs must establish a viable model and a clear market position in order to survive. Industry revenue is forecast to increase by 3.0% per annum over the five years to total £706.5 million in 2010-11.

Profits have fallen in the last two years, as weaker economic conditions forced gyms to discount their services in order to maintain membership numbers. There are also signs that gyms are losing their appeal, as a range of alternative fitness options emerge such as personal training and boot camps. Looking to the future, demand for gyms and health clubs will be underpinned by growing concerns about health amid rising levels of obesity in the population. Revenue is forecast to rise by an average annualised rate of 3.8% over the five years to 2015-16, totalling £848 million.

Health Club Scams 101

Ridiculously Low Rates – It’s becoming increasingly crowded out there. With so many gyms fighting each other over customers, membership fees are plummeting. However, you should remember that operating a gym is a very expensive endeavor. In order to provide customers with the best experience, the gym or health club must have plenty of operating capital. Low-end gyms, while having much cheaper rates, mean bad exercise equipment, crowded areas, less sanitary facilities and less customer focus. When choosing a gym or health club, it may be best to go to the more expensive places.

Beware of False Advertising – There are many gyms that advertise low-rates, zero-membership fees, or some other way that you can save when joining. However, most of these gyms get the money out of the customer, one way or the other. Be sure to read the contract for any hidden charges that they may impose. Others advertise huge discounts, only to cripple or limit much or their services until the member pays in full. Others, on the other hand, flat-out lie about their services and member benefits. Be sure to ask a lot of questions and inspect the service agreement fully.

Dubious Accreditations – There are so many certificate-giving bodies out there from state and community organizations that few are worth more than the paper it’s written on. Be sure to double-check on what accreditations the gym claims to have and see if they come from a truly prestigious or note-worthy organization. The same goes for the so-called certified-instructors many gyms have. Be wary and be sure to research these claims.

Poor Equipment and Facilities – This is what you pay for the most, the ability to use large, specialized equipment. Always inspect the entire gym and its facilities before you commit to signing up. The place should also be spacious – it should not be crowded. Many gyms sign up more customers than they can actually handle. The result is that many customers have to wait in line to use the gym equipment they want. This also means that their equipment is constantly being used and prone to more damage.

Sleazy Contracts – Always read what’s printed on the service contract. Three year memberships, high deposit fees, extra charges – these can be all hidden inside the contract and its existence conveniently not mentioned by the sales team. Always turn on the alarm when you encounter provisions requiring you to shell out more money or penalize you for cutting your membership short.
