The VoicE Q4 The Emergence and Importance of Recovery Rooms and Why Your Health Club Needs One adding wellness-based services to your clubs like nutrition centers, massage therapy, and saunas create more value for the mem- ber. With an increased awareness in wellness and exercise recovery, health clubs looking to retain and obtain new members should invest in creating recovery centers. Offering recovery services helps members avoid workout burnout and injuries, leading to less downtime and keeping your members motivated and devoted to your club. Popular classes like high-intensity interval training workouts increase the risks for injury and overtraining. Younger members are attracted to both HIIT and wellness and providing these services can help drive in millennials. Since millennials are the most brand-loyal generation, providing these services will keep your club filled. More and more people are focusing on nutrition, fitness, and recovery and not just in response to an injury or muscle aches but for the overall health benefits it delivers. Recovery spaces can help manage stress from a long day, promote restful night’s sleep and reduce fatigue. If your club can offer stress relief and recovery space, you will get your members’ attention and attract new ones. Experts believe that within the next few years every health club in the country will have a recovery room and will become part of the warm-up and recovery routine. Fitness focused technology has had a major impact on the pro level and making this treatment available to the everyday gym patron ensures they can perform at a high level the next day. Seeing athletes and celebrities posting and sharing their results after using recovery technology has increased its popularity and demand for it. While independent recovery centers are popping up, having your own center inside 22 the health club they already belong to is an added value and promotes brand loyalty. While some clubs create separate, stand- alone packages for their recovery sessions, and others offer different membership levels to include theses services, one thing is clear; your members are focused on their health, fitness, and recovery just as much as you are. Recovery spaces do not need to take up a large footprint, and with many clubs removing tanning beds from their facilities, replacing that space with Zero Gravity Recliners, massage Chairs and fitness-focused tech- nology repurposes an existing space and creates a new stream of revenue.
