12 years ago, when I set up RISE, I used to get a lot of comments about the cost.
It was understandable as this was one of the very first Group Personal Training clubs in the entire country.
People assumed it was a gym and commented that it cost more than a gym (a bog standard one anyway).
The comments reduced over the years as people became more familiar with the concept.
But I still get them occasionally.
In every single occasion I’d say the price comparison being made is not a fair one.
They compare it to somewhere else that has maybe one or two aspects of what we offer.
A normal gym is just some equipment in a room that you rent access to.
Most Slimming Clubs are the opportunity to get weighed and given some meal plans.
Classes are someone demonstrating a random workout which you try and copy.
Comparing them to the cost of running one of the UK’s top group PT clubs (four times Top 6 in the country before anyone questions that)………..
It’s like saying a house is too expensive……….
When you’re only using one room.
If that room is all that someone wants and it gets them the results that they’re happy with, then that’s cool.
The fact that the population is getting fatter, sicker and less happy year on year suggests it isn’t for most (if that’s you, then you’ll change that here for the cost of a take out coffee a day –> www.myrise.co.uk/apply)
Much love,
