It provides strategies for re-scheduling clients, establishing clear cancellation policies, offering alternative training options, and using challenges or commitments to keep clients engaged over time.

17. At Catch Fitness we encourage people to see personal trainers. One of the ways we do this is via ‘The 20 Week Body & Lifestyle Competition’ where entrants agree to use a personal trainer to help them achieve their health and fitness goals. If entrants do not already have a trainer we refer them to REPs registered trainers throughout New Zealand. If you would like to be one of the trainers/clubs we refer people to and/or if you would like to provide your existing clients with the opportunity to be part of this competition and/or if you’d simply like to have more support with your business via our weekly newsletters, at no cost to you , then we invite you to take part in our next 20 Week Body & Lifestyle Competitions. Starts July 13 th , 2009 (late entries accepted until August 6 th 2009) and February 8 th 2010. . “ I am a new trainer having graduated in 2008. I found out about the February 2009 competition a week before it was due to start. I emailed people with the promotional poster that was sent me and within one day I had seven new people sign up with me as their personal trainer! Within a week I had three more, plus four others that did not sign up to this competition but still signed up to personal training with me. All these people phoned me. I didn’t have to chase anyone…. I got fourteen new clients from just one email” Dwayne (Cert F.I.T, REPs). An additional 14 sessions a week at $60 per session for 20 weeks that’s an extra $16,800.
