In this episode of our Les Mills series on gym member onboarding, we focus on the critical aspects of habit formation that can make or break a member's fitness journey. We dive into the first three of five key drivers designed to help members maintain their motivation and achieve their fitness goals:

Quality Motivation: We discuss the importance of setting realistic and time-bound goals right from the start. By employing the SMART criteria—Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound—we help members visualize and reach their targets.

Our Les Mills Smart Start program is highlighted as a practical tool to ease members into group exercises that align with their individual fitness objectives.

Goal Setting and Accountability: The power of writing down goals and sharing them with a support network is emphasized to bolster commitment and accountability. This strategy is essential in helping members stay on track with their fitness goals.

Setting and Achieving Incremental Goals: Breaking down large goals into smaller, achievable milestones is recommended to keep members motivated and engaged. We explore how setting monthly targets can make daunting goals like losing 20 pounds more manageable and less overwhelming.

We wrap up the episode with a reminder of the importance of these strategies in fostering long-term commitment among gym members.

Stay tuned for our next episode, where we will uncover the remaining strategies to keep your gym members enthusiastic and dedicated to their fitness journeys.
