The Fitness Business

e-Newsletter: November 2011

Australia's No. 1 Fitness Supplier & Trade Newsletter.

With around six weeks to the end of the year, are you ready to close off 2011 with a bang!? As an owner/operator of 15 health clubs (mixed and ladies only), November and December were generally seen as slower months for new members (particularly the ladies only clubs). Every club was different so what worked for some didn't always work for others, but here are a few tips to consider: -

  • Focus on the right type of communication with your existing members both in and out of the club and try to make it personal whenever you can.
  • Advertise your friend referral program NOW for the New Year and offer extra incentives for members who introduce early bird sign-up.
  • Offer individual and team (shift) bonuses for achieving targets up to the end of the year.
  • Get out and about in the community - spread the word and create hype about your club and how it makes a difference to so many people's lives.
  • Create a real feeling of fun and excitement in the club in the run up to the New Year - make a big deal about festive celebrations and throw a great Christmas party.

Why The Whole Body Vibration Machines Endorsed By Hollywood Celebrities Are Not The Ones NASA, The European and Russian Space Agencies Use

And why our competitors send us hate mail for revealing the secret reason behind this.

A favourite story of Whole Body Vibration companies is Astronauts using vibration machines to counteract zero-gravity effects on muscle and bone. But are Astronaut-level results what to expect from every machine having space shuttle pictures on its website?

Whilst the machines Astronauts use produce upwards of 14G (14 times Earth's gravity), Australian engineering tests reveal that most vibration machines struggle to get past 4G, giving the false impression that Whole Body Vibration "doesn't work".

To experience the incredible stimulation of a genuine high-gravity machine that safely builds muscle quickly, download the free engineers report to qualify for a no-obligation trial.
