I just read this article on the NPR site. Someone posted it on Facebook so naturally I had to read it. If you have ever had a membership at a big box gym or still do, you might agree with a few of the observations.
I think The Fitness Lab is different. Actually, I KNOW we are different. Here are 5 ways that we are different from the big box gyms:
- We charge more but we keep classes small. We do it so we can give you the attention you need to make your workout the best it can be.
- We WANT people that will come to the Fitness Lab because we CARE that you are healthy and happy.
- We do have annual memberships and month-to-month memberships. Heck, we even have a punchcard.
- We reward our members for showing up with gifts because we LOVE our people. They are like family. You can be part of our family too!
- We are a small, local family business. We are not a franchise or a corporation. And we don’t treat you like a number or a dollar sign. You are a person that we care about. We need you and you need us.
Do you agree or not? If not, what can we do better? Email me and let me know because it’s important that we do better.
Finally, bring a friend for free anytime! Yep, anytime members can bring a pal. Give us a heads up but feel free to bring a friend, visiting family member, co-worker… you get the idea. We love having people join us and we love meeting the people you bring along for the sweaty, stinky ride!
