Do you need to increase footfall? Increase dwell time / Increase secondary spend within your facility?

Astrabound, House of Play’s iconic play centre and showsite is 13,500 sq ft and has 180000 visitors per annum generating

income of c £1 million (inc VAT) and net profit of c £200,000. This net profit is after a rent and rates charge of c £130,000!

ASTRABOUND - The ultimate safety net and training ground

Ideal location and product mix Think BIG, historically leisure and sports centres have converted low income

generating areas such as double squash courts into a play facility. This type of conversion will provide a service for your customers but will not typically

generate the sort of numbers required to impress. Thinking BIG means looking for sports halls and similar size spaces that benefit from plenty of height to

convert into a vibrant play and party venue for use by children to the age of 12 years together with a comfortable café and seating area for parents and

carers.

Commercial case - Let the numbers speak for themselvesTo help explore feasibility House of Play has developed an interactive forecast model which allows typical inputs to be changed according to your target site

and location producing cash flows, profit and loss and balance sheets.

Optimum layout As both designers and operators of play facilities, House of Play know typically the layout and provision that works to maximise profit. Commercially we are looking for the correct ratio between play and seating and ideally we would create a facility to readily promote secondary spend by having the food /

beverage within the self contained area together with toilets and party rooms.

Funding If you are struggling to fund the project, please speak with House of Play who

can look at a variety of funding options that may be available.

Turnkey solution - Too busy to manage the conversion ? Throw House of Play the keys and we will deliver the completed

project.

The Hard Numbers as to Why Club Operators are Installing The Fitness Industry’s Hottest Visual Feedback and Tracking Tool – MYZONE®.

The Ultimate Member Engagement Tool.To enquire more about how MYZONE® can help drive member engagement at your club, visit MYZONE.org or call 0115 777 3333

It is widely accepted that the critical success factor of operating a club is identifying the members who visit the club less than 50 times per year, and doing everything you can to have them visit more than 100 times per year. Affecting disengaged members, and helping them to become engaged, is arguably the most leveraged play you have as an operator.

Engaged members not only spend more money with you when at the club (ancillary revenue), they are the group that best promote you in the community (referrals), and according to IHRSA studies, they ‘stay and pay’ for an additional 18 months (retention). Engaged members are good!

BASIC STUDY A recent study completed at Pat Laus’ award winning Atlantic Club in New Jersey showed that a control group of members visited the gym 25% more, (January, year on year) once they had adopted MYZONE®.

A MORE TELLING NUMBER More interestingly, it was established from that same case study that those members who would typically only visit 4 times in a January period, would visit 11 times once engaged with MYZONE®. In effect, projecting their attendance to be 132 visits for the year instead of 48, moving them from no or low engagement to high engagement. This is where the rubber meets the road!

CHALLENGES WORK! A separate quantitative study completed by CFM International, the global distributor of MYZONE®, showed that members already using MYZONE® would exercise 80% more frequently when engaged in a 6 week challenge with their peers.

The Hard Numbers as to Why Club Operators are Installing The Fitness Industry’s Hottest Visual

Feedback and Tracking Tool – MYZONE®.

“We brought CFM in during Summer of 2012 to drive additional memberships. Our sales and marketing team are very proactive and skilled in generating new members however CFM guaranteed purely net growth so with that in place it was a no brainer. They brought in 550 new members in 6 weeks net of the members we would normally generate in the same period. I’d highly recommend their services”Mike Barlow, CEO Finesse Leisure Trust, Operating Hatfi eld Leisure Centres

“Our centre is well known in the area as the premium entertainment facility for young and old. Despite this we knew there was still a segment of the market we were not capitalising on for gym membership. CFM in October/November 2012 turned this around in a tradition-ally slow period and now we have had one of the best starts to the year we have ever had. The numbers were important but the unexpected lift in motivation of my team was a real bonus.” Roger Davinson, CEO, Brentwood Leisure Trust, Brentwood UK

We paid these Sporta members over £100,000 to say nice things

about us…

If we did the same for your centre, wouldn’t you be happy too?

If you would like New Members with No Outlay from an Untapped Market in your area ring CFM now on 0115 777 3333 before your competition does!

Loyal members come in all sizes! Zumba® Kids Jr. classes are a dance ‘n’ play party for lil’ feet where pint-sized party animals ages 4-6 get silly, dream big and begin their journey to a healthy future.

START A MOVEMENT INSIDE YOUR CLUB

Zumba Fitness spends more than $50 million per year creating demand for Zumba® classes and products. With a diversified marketing strategy that includes global advertising and social media campaigns, Zumba Fitness also markets best-selling products such as video games, DVDs, Zumba® wear and more that promote live Zumba classes. This not only creates consumer awareness, it creates the demand to find a class at a fitness facility near them.

Once members get hooked on their Zumba class, they stay. The social aspect of Zumba classes is a proven motivator that keeps members coming back. According to The IHRSA Guide to Membership Retention, “Members who socialize with friends (both new and old) at clubs have higher retention rates.” With Zumba® Fitness, you attract new members with in-demand classes and retain more members by building a tight-knit community in your club. Plus, there are absolutely no licensing fees to clubs for any Zumba programme, so you can fill your Group X rooms with packed Zumba classes right away.

NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE (EXCEPT ZUMBA® CLASS)

Naturally someone might ask, “So, what’s this going to cost my club?”

Simple: Absolutely nothing.

Zumba Fitness flipped the paradigm on its head and doesn’t charge licensing fees to facilities*. To get Zumba classes on the calendar, just audition and hire licensed instructors from the Zumba® Instructor Network (ZIN™). The ZIN Programme is a worldwide professional development system that provides music, moves, marketing and ongoing educational support to Zumba instructors so they can keep delivering amazing classes that drive and retain facility members.

To find the Zumba instructor that’s right for your facility, and get tips on auditioning and selecting your instructor, visit zumba.com/clubs.
