Check out our top five reasons why you should introduce a Health Assessment to your service and see how it could really make a difference to your organisation. 
1. Retention
Data from Nuffield health suggests that a health MOT can significantly increase retention levels to well above industry standards. Its provides quality interaction with your client and a perfect chance to catch up about their goals and even push other services such as personal training or nutrition guidance. Some clubs charge for the service to boost secondary spend whilst other incorporate it in with the joining package.
2. Corporate Health Checks
Situated next to a large business? Do you have a corporate membership scheme or would like to put one in place? A simple free health check is a great way of getting your foot through the door. Offer health checks onsite then invite employees down do the club for a free trial. You can also collate aggregated data to provide an overall snap shot for the organisation showing health trends and potential issues.
3. Push Memberships and New Clients
Join this month and get a free MOT worth £30! It’s a great unique selling point worth making a song and dance about – but always put a value on the service. With the growing number of budget gyms and sometimes a lack of customer interaction, a health MOT is exactly the kind of service that sets you apart from the rest. (Price depends on what you are offering, if in doubt go for your average PT charge) .
4. Goals
The proof is in the data! A regular health and fitness check can provide tangible results to help improve health and increase motivation. Simple and non-invasive tests can help you set achievable health goals and create a more tailored fitness plan giving you a much more personalised service.
But education is also key – Inform your client of the benefits tracking body composition (verses weight only) and how they can reduce key health measurements like blood pressure and resting heart rate with physical activity and positive lifestyle choices.
5. Be Different
It’s not just about physical activity and losing weight. Lifestyle is also key – keeping an eye on alcohol consumption, sleep, hydration, stress and nutrition which will provide a more rounded approach to health.
You don’t have to be a expert on everything but learn to signpost to local health services like smoking cessation or colleagues that do specialise in that health topic area such as nutrition or sleep. Build a network of trusted referral pathways that also support you.
