Consulted with all members and potential members about a free training session which later discussed the essential needs of having the guidance of a fitness trainer to educate, train and assist them along the way of obtaining their health and fitness goals. Resulting in a 4% increase in membership signups and a 9% increase in members signing up for personal training.
