Double capacity at peak times by running 30-minute high intensity classes
Consumers today want their fitness shaped around them – from the pedals up. Optimising your timetable to meet your customer needs can have a profound effect – reinvigorating your offer and giving you the competitive edge.
1. Give people more of what they want
Ensure your timetable provides opportunities for members to participate in a mix of the three main cycling experiences:
• Fitness – for people who want to build basic fitness, or anyone seeking a solid low impact cardio workout one to three times a week
• Performance – for those seeking high intensity, shorter workouts that provide great results in a short time
• Exertainment – for those (usually young) people looking for a different type of experience.
The perfect mix for your club will depend on your demographic. For a younger membership, upweight your performance and exertainment classes.
2. Add shorter classes
Double capacity at peak times by running 30-minute high intensity classes. These can be a real drawcard for millennials (18 to 34 years old).
3. Schedule for your customers – and use virtual workouts
Customers expect immediate satisfaction and want your schedule to adapt to theirs, not the opposite. Research shows that “convenient schedule times” are a major driver of group fitness attendance globally, and a primary reason for the success of boutique clubs.
On a typical day at a SoulCycle studio, members can choose between five classes before 10.30am. Clubs like this offer 80-100 cycling classes every week.
To compete with that frequency (and not drive up your instructor costs), consider using live workouts with virtual classes in off-peak slots.
Schedule virtual classes as often as you can to maximise studio use. The benchmark for excellence in a multi-activity club is 40 live and 40 virtual cycling workouts.
