read moreAiming to help fitness club owners and managers in attracting new members, business coach Steve Grant, the Director of Gym Hub, is presenting a free online workshop – ‘How to Grow Your Gym Memberships like a Rocket’.
Presented tomorrow (Thursday 4th February) from 1 to 2pm AEST via Zoom, the webinar will cover what Grant sees as the changes every gym needs to make to avoid losing sales after the Coronavirus pandemic.
Grant explains “when gyms closed around Australia in March last year, most of fitness industry pivoted into online training in an attempt to keep staff employed and remain in business.
“Despite COVID 19 restrictions easing in 2021, the fitness industry faces many challenges this year to recoup loss in members and lost revenue from 2020.
“However, while last year was quite tough for business’ cashflow, this first quarter of 2021 represents a rare growth opportunity for gyms who move fast to get lead flow pumping with fresh offers and to convert more sales into paying members.”
The webinar will cover:
• The two changes every gym needs to make to avoid losing sales
• The three secrets to creating a $1 million fitness studio of your own.
• The problem with courses and agencies and why you are still not growing.
• Grant’s ‘Rocket’ marketing system to get consistent qualified lead flow, every single month
Commenting on the challenges facing fitness operators, Grant adds “it has become increasingly more difficult to attract new members to a fitness facility and convince them of the benefits of long-term training.
“The fitness industry has also experienced a labour shortage with many qualified instructors choosing to leave the industry for more consistent work in industries less unaffected by COVID-19.
“An additional challenge from January has been Apple’s introduction of strict privacy regulations with their iOS14 software update making it harder for gyms to re-target buyers with paid Facebook ads, leaving gyms mostly reliant on Facebook and Instagram for lead generation struggling to attract new enquiries.”
