COVID-19 is changing the fitness industry
The fitness industry has gotten a surprise makeover! With COVID-19 dictating so many of our business practices, fitness companies have snapped to attention in adjusting to a new normal, embracing technology and doing everything they can to stay relevant.
Does it feel like you don’t even perceive the fitness industry anymore? You’re not alone, we are in this together. But you’re fooling yourself if you think these changes won’t last. The truth is that the pandemic has changed the fitness industry for good. You’ll have to adapt your business to carry on with this long-lasting shift.
What do you need to know to plan for the future of fitness?
The isolation will ultimately pass and when it does, you’ll be looking forward to seeing your clients and your team again. But it doesn’t mean people will come running through your doors and into your fitness club, yoga studio, or gym.
Normal has changed! We’re more prudent about germs, about exposing ourselves and we’re accepting new habits as a result. Getting the classes capacity and attendance numbers at your gym or studio back to what you once had is now going to take some time.
However, if you’ve gone online and offer live and on-demand services, that transition back to your physical location will be more smooth. You will then have a blend between online options and in-house services that your customers can enjoy.
