Last week I went to Leisure Industry Week at The N.E.C.
Was a useful day out – got a few ideas, did a bit of networking, etc.
There was a ‘KeyNote’ presentation from the lady who, amongst other things, is behind the ‘This Girl Can’ campaign to get more women into physical activity and sport.
She said lots of interesting things.
On that really struck out though was the market research into why many women don’t do regular exercise.
Give or take, the same things applies to men too.
She put lots of different responses people have given in the research up on the screen.
Then overlaid it with one response that pretty much covered all the others.
“Fear of being judged”.
Whether it be from men, other women, their other halves, colleagues, FitPros / staff, fitter / slimmer members, guys in the free weights area, etc…….
Whoever……….
Their concern over how people viewed them and what they were doing………
And what they said about it……..
Was stopping them doing it.
Understandable really.
But it doesn’t need to be that way.
We’ve worked hard to create a welcoming, non-intimidating, non-judgemental atmosphere at RISE.
It’s one of the reason so many people who’ve tried gyms, etc before with little success…….
Achieve great things with us.
They feel comfortable doing it.
And enjoy the process.
