What You Will Find Inside

Six rules, each with practical ideas you can act on straight away.

You are not the only guardian

Why gyms are no longer the sole guardians of consumer wellness, and who else now competes for your members.

Find your place in ecosystems

Where you fit in the wellness ecosystem, and how to connect the pieces that surround your members every day.

Balance physical and digital

Why the future is ecosystems rather than hybrid, and how to pair great facilities with digital experiences.

Wise up on the competition

Who your real competitors are as 5G, home workouts and big tech reshape how members choose to stay well.

Re-imagine the member journey

Right here, right now, and every journey in between, with each touchpoint designed around the customer.

Put automation at the centre

How non-dues revenue, dynamic pricing and customer feedback improve when automation sits at the core.
