3 Simple Tips to Keep Your New Year’s Resolutioners Motivated

The beginning of every year is full of new sign-ups and eager people who are ready to make big changes in their health and lifestyle. But signing up for a challenge and announcing your New Year’s resolutions is the easy part. The thing that feels impossible is sticking to it and being consistent. Fitness boutique studios that offer New Years challenges usually know how to market for classes, reach certain demographics, and motivate them to sign up, but not many studios know how to keep members longterm, especially those who signed up while nursing a New Year’s hangover.

The Importance of Following Up with New Studio Visitors

The relationship between a fitness boutique studio and their members is quite similar to just about any other lifelong friendship or relationship in your life. It’s a give and take, it’s a 2-way street, and there needs to be communication and participation from both ends. There are certainly many different ways to make that happen in relationships, but it’s especially important to consider these factors when you’re running a fitness studio and you want to maintain a lasting relationship with your members.

We’re living in a strange time when some fitness boutique studios are closed, others are open, and others are a combination of both.

Even if restrictions have been lifted or modified, there are a lot of fitness enthusiasts out there who are choosing to take some classes at home and do others in person. If you’re a hybrid studio that’s offering both, it’s important to keep the sense of community, even if your members are scattered all over the place.
