Hey, local gyms! Events can be a great way to build a strong community! People come to your gym for a workout, sure. They use your equipment and take your classes. But what keeps them coming back? The feeling of belonging and a sense of community! We're all fitness enthusiasts who want to find like-minded people and belong to a group with similar values and goals. The best way to nurture these relationships is to take things outside the gym and offer even more. This is how you get people to come back and see your business as more than just a gym, but a long-term part of their lives. Events don't have to be expensive. Host a meet-up at a local brewery, start a team on a co-ed volleyball league, or host an extra class during your normal business hours and invite local brands to sponsor it and cater some food. If you're a gym looking to enhance your marketing and event strategies and want to create an even bigger community for your members, feel free to message me – let's chat!

How 'match fit' are New Zealand businesses? According to K3's Ken Brophy, there's a feeling that we're still in pre-season training, while the rest of the world plays on, finding ways to stay on top of the rest. Ken's analogy around match fitness, reflects on how businesses can be finding solutions to the problems they're facing now, as well as planning to be in the future - not just putting it off for another day while everyone takes the opportunities in front of them. Through the wisdom of engaging with a large number of progressive companies, both in NZ and globally, read more on Ken's take on the current state of play (and how many times he can reference sport within it).
