Quotes:
“So we’re really giving them the opportunity to have conversations, have pride in where they work out, and know that they’re walking into a group of peers or friends and not just a bunch of individuals who do the thing next to each other.” [Megan, 10:08]
“Events outside of just a fitness class can help promote those connections, in addition to your lobby space where those casual conversations are happening. Once there’s an established rapport, it helps foster outside interests too and gives them opportunities to do things together.” [Ali, 12:33]
“Once you build this community, you are becoming a
home away from home and your fitness business is just going to see
increased retention rates, because you have created that supportive
environment where individuals feel comfortable and motivated.”
[Megan, 14:09]
