Gymtimidation is a huge hurdle people, especially new members, must overcome when trying something new or building new habits and routines. But if you give your members ways to try out different workouts or classes on their own, you’ll help them build the confidence they need to stay active at your gym and build an even more welcoming community. In this video, we’ll cover three ways your club can ease gymtimidation.

3 Ways to Ease Gymtimidation:

  • Create strong onboarding processes.
  • Foster a welcoming, supportive culture.
  • Give members the tools they need to push out of their comfort zone.
