10 Secrets for Happier Health Club Members

Attention Gym Owners!!

I have a pal in the health club industry who never gets tired of talking. And in most conversations, she is the only one who seems to be interested by the things she has to point out. So all of our other friends tend to avoid the circles whenever she is's around, and she does not notice how she has become socially handicapped - continuously influencing the people in her environment.

One key to self improvement is to LISTEN and TALK to a trustworthy friend. In the spa industry listening and chatting can be your two best strengths or deficiencies. Find someone whom you find comfort in opening up with, even the most personal topics you want to debate. Raise questions like :
"Do you're thinking that I am ill-mannered?"
"Do I usually sound so argumentative?"
"Do I talk too loud?"
"Does my breath smell?"
"Do I ever bore you when we're together?"
In this fashion, the other person will obviously know that you are interested in the process of self improvement. Lend him / her your ears for comments and criticisms and don't give him / her answers like, "Don't exaggerate! That's's just the way I am!" Open up your mind and heart as well . In return, you may wish to help your buddy with constructive criticism which will also help him / her improve him / her self. As a result your wellbeing club marketing will be communicated in the most positive way possible.

One of Whitney Houston's songs announces, "Learning to like yourself is the best love of all." True enough. In order to love others, you must love yourself. Remember, you cannot give what you do not have.

Before telling other folks some ways on how to improve themselves, let them see that you yourself are an illustration and a product of self improvement. Self-improvement makes us better folk. We then evoke folks, and then the rest of the world will follow.

Stop thinking of yourselves as second-rate beings. Forget the repetitive thought of "If only I was richer... If only I was thinner" and so on. Accepting your true self is step one to self improvement. We need to stop comparing ourselves to others to find out at the end that we've got 10 more reasons to envy them. Remember, you are fearfully and splendidly made in the image of God Himself. You have everything you need to become successful in the country club industry in you right now. You just need to discover how to draw it out of yourself.

We all have our insecurities. Nobody is perfect. We always wish we had better things, neater features, better body parts, and so on. Life does not need to be good for folks to be content about themselves. Self improvement and loving yourself isn't a matter of roaring to the whole world that you are perfect and you are the best. It's the virtue of acceptance and happiness. When we begin to enhance ourselves, we then begin to feel content and satisfied.

After years in the fitness industry and selling tens of thousands of health spa memberships, I've learned many methods that will win a sale. None are more valuable than the one I am now going to share with you. So take notes!!

When I meet with a potential member and they're avoiding making a commitment that day it's for one of 4 reasons :
1. They're lazy.
2. They're frightened of committing.
3. They need time to think about it.
4. All the above.
I am going to tell you how it's possible for you to get over the hardest objection of all of them. The, "I need to think about it" objection. There are 10 questions that this potential member needs answers to before having the comfort level needed to make a decision that day. If I can answer these 10 questions in a positive manner, then I have overcome the objection.

I go over the following questions and answers out loud with my potential new member. If you use this model, asking the question and then giving the answer, you'll be providing the comfort needed to make the sale. So this is how it is going.

Remember, listen and talk.....


Guidelines in Finding a Health Club )


I say: you would like to join a health club but there are so many choices! And then you'll just finish up having a headache! Health clubs are effective motivators. They should incentivize us and not frustrate us. Before you choose on a health club, ensure that it suits your wishes and goals. And before you do that, you need to first learn and decide on what is your priority. By then, you will know what you really need in a health spa. These are some guidelines you can consider in choosing a spa that is best for you :

1. Are we conveniently located?

The location is the first thing that you should consider when finding a country club. If the club is a long way from your home, you will just have another excuse not to work out. It is best to find a facility that's near your home. Inside a 5-7 mile radius.

2. Are our staff friendly and nice? Will they be able to help you attain your goals?

ensure that the instructor / private trainer has the mandatory experience to work with you. The coach / personal trainer should be a licensed professional that will work with you safely and efficiently. Your instructor / personal trainer should also know if you have physical limitations, or you'll find an instructor / personal trainer that's well trained to work with you. You may also check the age of the coach / personal trainer, especially if it is one factor for your motivation and learning. The staff should also be useful, friendly and professional. You can also ask the services they offer and find what is important for you. Some facilities have their own dietitian and physical consultants that may offer services for you.

3. Do you like the programs we offer?

find time to see what programs are there for you and check if they suit your interests. Do they offer group classes? Choose the facility that offers the classes you actually like. You can do a trial class to take a look at it if you would like.

4. Do we have the required equipment to help achieve your personal goals? Do you like our hours?

Check if the hardware is enough for all members to use with no need to wait. Otherwise, you will waste your time falling in line and waiting for your turn. Also, ensure that the facility is open in the time you are most certain to do work outs and exercises.

5. Is our complete facility well cared for, clean and safe for you?

Machines and other training facilities should be in clean and in good order. If you see a lot of "out of order" signs, it may be something to consider. Modern equipment are safer and more comfy to use, so you may additionally want to think about that. Are the floors cleaned constantly to avoid accidents? Is there plenty of room for everyone? Also check if the facility is found in a land away from danger, consider also if the location is well lit.

6. Are the members of our country club friendly and are they able to be your friends?

The health spa is also a location location for social interaction. Take some time to drop by and meet the members of the club before you enroll. Other members can be your workout pals in the near future and should be considered.

7. Are our schedule of group fitness classes convenient for you?

find out what classes are offered at a particular time and consider if you'll be available at the schedules given.

8. Are you able to comfortably afford a membership here?

it is vital to know the monthly membership fee and what it covers. Some health clubs have concealed charges and you should be avid in checking that. Check if they have promotions or kickbacks and do they offer services at an additional fee. It's also significant to learn how long the health club has been in business and how often their rates increase.

9. Does your partner support you getting back in shape & staying health?

It's important to have the support of your partner. All men love the undeniable fact that a lady cares about their body and women fill the same.

10. What do folk say about us? Do you hear good things about us.

Take some time to gather feedback from other members ( this is where you would use our testimonials program to secure the sale ). Ask them what they can say about the country club and let them tell you about the experiences with the facility.

Sales Sniper Law #1

If they assert it, it's the gospel. They can't take it back!
( If you can make them say yes to your questions, then they can't say they need more time to consider it. )

If they still will not buy don't be rude!

choosing a health club is just like shopping for the best shirt. It has to fit just right. Your job is to make sure they know that your well-being club is a perfect fit for their requirements. If they don't buy, don't make them feel pressured and do not try to contact them again straight away. Send them home with a customer appreciation pack ( part of our Sales Sniper Program ) and tell them to take their time to study the data you have given them. Wait at least a week before contacting them again to remind them about their FREE WEEK PASS.
