Growing Aussie waistlines means there has been a boom in fitness and wellness businesses in recent times. This means fitness businesses need to stand out from the crowd if they want to attract and retain customers. One proven way to stand out is to specialise or to create a ‘niche’. The 3 E’s of niche: Environment – create an engaging space for members and clients. Customers expect more from their gym experience now, so your tired, old looking décor and ‘run of the mill’ facility layout needs to be spiced up! Establish different zones and encourage open spaces for movement while injecting colour and texture into the facility. Equipment – integrate new and exciting equipment. Find a specialist piece of equipment and learn about it, see how it could integrate into your facility right now with limited changes to your business structure. This is the simplest way to create a real point of difference quickly. This is where Summit Fitness specialises. Exercise – utilise various exercise protocols, systems and programming. Some creative changes to the way you structure your exercise or wellness programs can take you from seeming like ‘just another trainer’ to ‘an absolute master’ in no time. Awaken your creative side to develop your very own style or method of training. When there is so much choice for where an individual can go to achieve their health related goals, fitness businesses have to ensure they stand out from the crowd. A niche could help you move away from the repetition of similar facilities with similar offerings, to be at the forefront of people’s minds when they think of fitness, health and wellness in your area. Summit Fitness is your total equipment solution provider, from full commercial fit-outs to single specialist pieces. With support services such as financing, delivery and installation, maintenance and technical support. 2/68 Topham Rd, Smeaton Grange NSW 2567 P. 1800 628 824 E. [email protected] www.summitfit.com.au
