Northwest Personal Training is 21 years old and we are going to celebrate! Our celebration won’t look the same as our past anniversaries, but we have some safe and fun activities planned for our staff and clients. Do you have something to celebrate with your fitness community? Now, more than ever, we could all use a little celebration. Try bringing your staff and clients together virtually/outdoors etc. to celebrate their accomplishments, anniversaries, the start of spring….anything you feel like celebrating. It will give everyone something positive to look forward to and bring your fitness community together.

Here in Washington State all fitness facilities were forced to close when our COVID numbers increased. We worked diligently with the Washington Fitness Alliance to explain why we should remain open. In the end….we were able to reopen on January 11th!

To celebrate and as a way to catch the attention of our clients (and potential new clients) we put together this Happy Dance Video and spread it all over social media and sent it out in our weekly eNewsletter.

I also recorded a video explaining all of our reopening details….AND emailed our clients a summary of the updates we have implemented.

We have all had to stay on our toes over the last year. Fitness facilities have had to be creative and have had to adapt quickly to all of the restrictions and closing. I have found that transparency, regular communication and creativity have been more important than ever! I wanted to share the updates we have made. What are you doing to keep clients safe and coming through your doors/doing sessions online?

Even though most of us fitness business owners and managers are focused on just keeping our doors open right now…we can’t lose sight of the importance of planned and continual marketing.

I recently recorded a podcast that I want to share with you. This podcast focuses on work-life balance, fitness business systems, marketing fundamentals, marketing tactics to drive clients back into the studio or acquire new clients, and much more.

My announcement to the Northwest Personal Training family about the mandated extended closure.

Here in Washington state….health and fitness facilities have been forced to close for the last month or so. I believe that we must take COVID-19 seriously and wish we could stay open. We are part of the solution and not the problem. We know know that at Northwest Personal Training we can provide a safe environment for our clients to work on their fitness, boost their immune systems and relieve stress. All of these things help fight infection and disease.
