I always find it interesting how different FitPros like ourselves market what they offer.
I’ve seen the phrase “No need to book used a lot recently”
With regards to classes, sessions, etc at other facilities and gyms.
I get that it’s meant to sound appealing.
But I read it as “We’ll have no idea if you’re coming or not and aren’t too bothered as long as you keep paying us.”
And “It’ll be run exactly the same if one person turns up or twenty.”
We ask that our members do book in.
Only take a couple of seconds on the app or website.
If they can’t for whatever reason, that’s cool.
They can turn up and we’ll add them to the bookings.
But we want to know who’s coming in.
And, more importantly, who’s not (as always it’s myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting for you or a friend if you the idea of people actually noticing if you’re not getting what you paid for).
So we can offer extra support to those that aren’t.
And we need to know roughly how many will be in a session to plan, structure and tweak it accordingly.
That’s Group Personal Training.
An instructor doing a workout at the front while everyone copies regardless of numbers, fitness levels, injuries, etc………..
That’s a class.
Nothing wrong with classes, of course.
But there’s a reason they have a 5 to 10% success rate and are free with a gym membership or a few pounds pay as you go at the local leisure centre.
Ultimately everyone (ourselves included) will market their wares to you in a way designed to make it sound appealing.
It’s sometimes worth looking a bit deeper to help you decide if what, on the face of it, sounds good, is actually the best thing for you 🙂
Much love,

P.S. Yesterday’s names were actual roads in Macclesfied which, I believe, the mayor named after me and Matt.
P.P.S. I may have made that last bit up.
