Getting What You Want from Your Gym
We want to create the best and most complete training experience for our members and clients. That means we want to develop the gym to your needs not ours.
Where most gyms only want to spend money if it is going to bring them new members through gimmicks and media hype, we want to ensure our current members get everything they want from the facility.
Therefore, every quarter we will have a voting process.
In month one, all members and clients can submit their suggestions for improving the gym. Whether it be new equipment, upgrades to the changing areas, flooring, even different paper in the toilets.
If they are modest enough and we have the budget we will implement those changes right away. If it is a bigger ask, we will assess them against our current bank balance (we will not be keeping any money as profit for at least a year from opening) and if the suggestion is something we can afford to do, it will go on this quarter’s short list. If not, it will be held back to the next quarter.
In month 4 or 5 suggestions with the most votes will go on a short list and all members will get to vote based on their membership status (the higher your membership level the more votes you have available to cast).
In month 3, whichever item gets the most votes is bought or implemented.
It’s that simple!
We do however reserve the right to Vito any suggestions which are not in the best interests of the club or its members. For example, there will be no Vibro Plates, No inner and outer thigh machines, no ’6 second abs’ machines, no shake weights. Basically no gimmicks & no machines that could cause serious damage even if used responsibly.
If your choice doesn’t make the list or win, a percentage of the votes will carry to the next vote. So even if you are the only one pitching for a specific piece of kit, if you keep voting for it every time, it will eventually have enough weight behind it from your votes alone to allow it to win.
In other words, if you want something, you will get it. If it is a popular option, you will get it quickly, if not, you will still get it, but it may take a bit longer.
And, because we have made a commitment not to make a profit in year one (and for most of year 2) then the more people you encourage to come and use the gym, the more money there will be for us to invest and the more we can do quickly. So be sure to encourage others to come and join our community.
Not only will it help them get in the best shape of their lives, but it will help you get an even better facility.
