Executive Summary
To survive in the competitive health and fitness industry, club operators must focus on what differentiates their club from their peers.
“The gyms and centers that do best are the ones that know who they are and do not try to be all things to all people. Most importantly, they truly focus on customer service and on making sure that they deliver an environment and services that will help their members meet their wellness goals,” said Meredith Poppler, VP of Industry Growth at IHRSA in May 2012 of South Source.

To reward your current clients:
Send out a ‘Black Friday Deal’ by clicking on ‘One Time Deal’. One time deals typically last only 72 hours (3 days) to 96 hours (4 days). This creates a sense of urgency since these are usually really good deals!

Today we caught up with Jennifer Richards, owner of Poway Pilates in San Diego, California. Jennifer started in personal training and aerobics 15 years ago. Over the years, she realized that many of her aging clients could benefit from Pilates which lead her to launch her studio five years ago.
Today, over 40% of Poway Pilates’ 348 members are active in their Perkville powered loyalty program. “These students are more active in their practice on this program and end up telling their friends about the studio,” said Jennifer. Approximately 24% of the clients referred become active members of the studio! Poway holds 33 classes a week with 5 instructors teaching in a 1600 sq feet studio that is fully equipped.
