Fitness Centers Benefit from Sport-Specific Training Programs

With the growing interest among members to participate in sporting events, such as races and tournaments, fitness centers can benefit from offering sport-specific training programs.

Wisdom from the ages says that it is much easier to stay motivated when you have an attainable goal. Personal trainers and their clients use this sage advice when it comes to fitness, and members usually aspire to weight-loss or strength-gain goals. However, one of the best ways to help members stay motivated while working out is to have an end-point event, such as a 10k race or tennis tournament, where clients and members can test their fitness gains, and often have fun doing it.

Many fitness centers realize the benefits of event-based training, and offer programs for their members to help them reach that final goal. Fitness centers offer programs for running, swimming, triathlons, tennis and more. These special offerings are usually fee-based, and allow the fitness center to offer individualized training in small groups to a team of like-minded people. Much planning is required for these programs, including staffing, how much to charge and what your members actually want. To help get you started, find out what other facilities offer, and how they set up their programs.
