Top 3 Takeaways From The Show

  • Owners, operators, and trainers need to work together in satisfying the three categories of mobile and digital strategy:
    • Operations: checkins, schedules, sign ups, maps and amenities  
    • Engagement: interact and bring value to supporting the member's fitness journey via syncing wearables, loyalty programs, and rewards inside and outside the club 
    • Marketing: driving member referral, up-sells, promotions and general communication 
  • Apps and wearables are now the consumer norm: As clubs, the focus in 2017 needs to be on training staff to meet the technology demands of the new members. 
  • Successful clubs stay open to change: looking for new ways to reach members and what tools they can use to deliver added value. Digital training is changing the landscape for the fitness floor and will give trainers the ability to scale their business beyond the traditional model while opening up the door to allowing more members to get the benefits.
