Is this due to your own lack of confidence?
Or does this have something to do with the way that you
currently feel about yourself and your goal just seems so far away, that
joining a gym to achieve this just seems too unrealistic to reach?
Or could it be and one of which we have experienced most
with our members when they originally join us is that they don’t want to be
compared or even judged because you have a fear that you are not going to
achieve the same level of results as our member success stories suggest
____wait a minute____
I kinda float in the same boat really
You see, I hate the typical commercial gym
So much so, at one time when I worked in one, I actually contemplated
quitting the fitness industry
What bothered me most was the fact that the staff doesn’t
care about you
They’re not even the slightest friendly
The gyms are so huge it just looks like a huge warehouse
full of machines
Did you know the cardio machines (bike, treadmill and
xtrainer) are only there because the gym doesn’t have enough staff to look
after you?
They actually want it this way
They need something to keep you occupied
That’s why they just plonk you on the first piece of cardio
machine in sight without even asking about your goals
What if doing cardio was the least effective exercise to
achieve your goals?
They don’t care they just want to make sure your occupied
Or at the very most hope that you become bored, sick and
tired of doing the same thing over and over again
To where you eventually stop showing up
This is actually their business model “hoping you don’t show
up”
Imagine if 5000 members did?
Then you have the actual other members
I don’t know about you but I think half of them don’t even
know what they’re doing they just turn up in their fancy gym gear looking the
part but not actually doing anything
If only they knew that doing the stepper for 2 hours,
actually damaged their knees, didn’t burn a single fat calorie and if anything
over time made them un healthier than when they actually started
Just this weekend in a gym at the hotel I stayed just looking
around made me think to myself if only they knew
But then this brings me on to my next point
WHERE are the staff?
Why isn’t someone pro-actively helping these members, that’s
what they are paying for right?
The reason is because
1. They
can’t be arsed. They’re NOT passionate enough about helping people change their
life’s (That’s the opportunity they have right?)
2. They’ve
been taught at a very basic level – they couldn’t even adjust your exercise
selection so that the member a) got a better more rewarding return b) the
exercise they know are so generic its untrue and c) they have no peoples skills
or even life skills as a matter of fact.
And a bigger reason for me is that they have NO experience
in helping people like you!!!
If they say they have - ask them to prove it
Call them out
I mean photos, measurements, testimonials even ask to meet
likeminded individuals
And I mean life changing proof!!!
___There’s more____
But I am going to get of my high horse here otherwise I’ll
rant for a whole week about this stuff
The point I am getting at is
There is someone who can help you
There is a coach that can get you from where you are to
where you’d like to be
We have members that have been in your shoes and wont judge
you they will even be there supporting you all the way, hey you may even become
GOOD friends a lot of our members do
We have experience not only from a results point of view but
also as leaders in the industry – Sam, my program director will be responsible
for your program design and he currently is IFS Personal Trainer of the Year
2013
And so much more
But again don’t take our word for it
Talk is cheap right?
Once you have been to us you won’t go anywhere else or even
feel the need to search
The gym gives us a whole different meaning it enables us to
use it as a platform to meet you
“You gained
my trust by delivering what you said you could help me achieve, through honesty
and integrity and by being there every step of the way. Strongest values - Your
belief in what you do, your desire to get the clients the results they seek,
your honesty, integrity and customer focus. What do I value about your service
- All of the above together with the fact that it's delivered by some of the
nicest guys I've ever met.”
Nice quote there wouldn’t you agree?
By the way, if you would like to meet me face to face for a
coffee and a chat then just give me a call sometime on 0116 276 3411
And then we can discuss how our 30 day trial with you – gives
you a perfect opportunity to see what we do here RWL without getting yourself
tied in to a mess and a place where you don’t like
Joe (would love to impersonate Gordon Ramseys Kitchen
Nightmares for Gyms) Hanney
Ps we are probably one of the first to have no cardio equipment
in our gym, none whatsoever!
