As your fitness facilities begin to reopen, what are you doing to bring back members into your gyms and studios?
No one could ever predict the impact COVID-19 would have on businesses, especially in the fitness industry. With the many difficult challenges that come with re-opening, like addressing members’ fear of space cleanliness/safety and marketing against home workouts, gyms have taken a massive hit in their financials and business performance.
As members return, everyone should be focusing on welcoming environments while enhancing the member experience. Fitness facilities are now turning to scent to engage more members and provide a better workout environment.
For low cost, gym owners and management can continually elevate their membership experience with scent. In the context of fitness marketing, scent can be a powerful tool in calming fears and reaffirming a clean, safe environment while providing members with an enhanced experience.
Gym managers know membership experience is among the most essential variables in contributing to a business’s strong brand and revenue growth. Deploying scent to enhance members’ overall experience, such as eliminating distracting odors and providing a cleaner, upscale environment, can now be a norm for gyms.
From body odor to rancid workout clothes, gyms have always been a contender for “musky” environments. But the good news is your facility doesn’t have to smell like a sweaty gym. Integrating scent into your members’ experience gives your gym a breath of fresh air — literally. As strong as the reek may be, it’s no match for today’s scent delivery systems. With the ability to control scent delivery everywhere from locker rooms to recovery areas, these systems combat unpleasant odors in your facility.
Scent delivery systems, like ScentBridge’s, provide a clean, aromatic, upscaled environment where members can rejuvenate, recover, and most importantly, focus on their workout. With the right scent delivery system, scent can be a powerful tool to improve your fitness facilities’ business performance as you welcome back members.
