Recently I was told by one of my new clients, that when she cancelled her membership to the gym, she was told that from a total membership of about 5000, only around 1500 members actually use the gym. So, more than a third of the revenue earned by the gym, is coming from people that don’t even use it!
The cost of gym membership varies, but most range from £30-£50 per month, depending on your chosen package. If we divide the difference and say on average people are paying £40 per month for their gym membership, that’s £140,000 per month that the gym is taking from people that never use their facillity…..£140,000!! This is obscene!
Do you pay for a gym membership and never go? Are they taking your money by standing order, so you don’t see how much money you’re throwing away every month? If so, you are one of the many that are contributing to the £140,000 per month that the gym is making from non-attendees. You wouldn’t pay for any other service and not use it, would you?
So, if you have no intention of returning to the gym, cancel your membership.
However, if you do want to exercise, have a fitness goal that you want to achieve or want to lose weight, but don’t have the self-discipline and will-power to do it yourself, spend your money wisely on a Personal Trainer. A Personal Trainer will help you reach your desired goal, by specifically designing a training programme for you, to suit your needs and deliver the results that you want. Whereas the gym, just wants your money.
You may think that you can’t afford a Personal Trainer, but you can, because if you can afford to give money to the gym every month for nothing, you can afford to pay for a Personal Trainer, who will help you achieve your goal and you’ll spend less money in the long term. They will keep you motivated and interested with fun and varied exercises, which will maintain your commitment to reach your desired goal.
So, if your thinking ‘I can’t reach my goal’ or ‘it never works for me’, you can and it will, with a Personal Trainer…..search for one now!
Hi Henry, thanks for the great spinning class last night. As a beginner to this form of exercise I found your instruction, patience and understanding for my lack of fitness inspirational. I have recommended you through my various networking mediums and will do so through word of my recommendation as well. Thanks for a great work out, I felt better than I have for ages. see you soon.
