my answer sometimes are a bit harsh but you'll have to face reality sometimes.


 

I'll bite.

I work at a YMCA in an average mid-sized city with a surrounding population of maybe 150,000.  We are currently in competition against a few city recreation centers, the big fancy gyms like Lifetime and LA Fitness, and smaller places like Planet Fitness.  We're a little more expensive than most, less than the real big places.

We have about 1,400 memberships and we're looking to grow the facility.  We've added amenities and things are clean and we already market with the local newspaper, online email blasts, school flyer handouts, and we offer a variety of free fitness classes and discounts for youth sports.  We also have a free program for seniors.

What else should I do that gets people in the doors and keeps them as members?  What can I do for member retention?

Thanks.

ah good old YMCA has been around for ages, excellent family services.

1. Promotion are always helpful,

apply to groupon for a promo deal you be the judge with the pricing.
make it irresistible and it wwill bring in the crowd

(btw hope your gym has a swimming pool)

but yeah, remember there is groupon / yippit etc make an awesome deal like family plan yearly / monthly not sure how you guys roll.

2. Keeping the crowd.

when people go to the movie they are consider guest / member (part of a society)
store etc = customers)
the difference is that customer come and go and guest well they stay awhile for like 1 - 2 + hours.
but honestly store or theater they should all be treated as guest.
ymca is well known to help empower kids, which they desperately need.

I once went to the Y as a small child by myself, mother left me with her co worker son which i didn't get along with.
when i was there i was stuck there for 2 hours scared and alone. how do you fix that? one thing is no one saw or spotted my inner feelings.
and came to my rescues thus i never returned to the Y lol.

New customer will always have trouble fitting in weather they are unsure were to go, shy to ask question, everyone has trouble connecting
especially the kids. how do you fix it.

Have the most amazing staff, Make sure they are approachable, make sure they have talent to spot a child or adult in stress or confusion. ( normally when they are just standing around staring into space). the main goal is to have them feel comfortable where they are at.

if i saw a kid standing around for more then a minute i would approach him and say (here how the conversation would go)(also if your skilled in literature you can tell what he would say so anyways here the example lol)

Me "hey i haven't seen you around before are you new?"
Him" either would nod or say yes"
Me "well whats your name"
him" either say something or nothing "
Me "don't be scared or shy, what do you like to do for fun"
him "he would probably say nothing to nothing frustrating but eh"
Me "cmon lets play some badminton etc"

just make sure the guest feel at home. connection with the people in the gym is what make it a great place.
for example educate kids how to connect with people. Tell them when a new person arrive we might you have take him on a tour or
teach him to ropes and introduce him to some people. and make sure everyone knows that when a new person is introduce everyone MUST give him 100% attention calling him out to play, this will help him gain courage quickly. and he will love the Y

make personal connection with the staff and the guest. truth is everyone want to go where everyone knows your name. (get it?)(3's company no? lol)

so have the staff try to memorize names ( i know its a pain lol)
hope im making sense =)
