2 THE PREVA CONTEST GUIDE 30-DAY START-UP CHALLENGE As part of your new member process, it s a good idea to use a contest to motivate and encourage regular participation, especially in the first month of membership. That's why we created the '30-Day Start Up Challenge'. The concept behind the program is to encourage your exercisers to complete a short list of tasks within their first month of membership. This will increase their familiarity and comfort with your facility which will influence their long term retention. By the end of 30 days, new exercisers should be:. 30 the facility surroundings. Referring new exercisers to your facility.... The Exerciser Activity Report should be used to verify a Preva Account has been established, track achievements, or to identify those who need encouragement. It can also be used in the fitness review process of this challenge. A leader board is also available to promote exerciser involvement, and create friendly competition. Use a similar contest for existing exercisers to keep them motivated and excited about their fitness goals, as well as more engaged with your facility. The more engaged exercisers are, the more they find value in your facility, leading to increased retention for you. To start the contest, just follow these simple steps: Talk the exerciser through the eight goals that you want them to achieve within their first 30 days. Emphasize the importance of establishing a regular routine for attaining their fitness goals. The overall objective is to increase retention, so vary the tasks and showcase your facility s unique selling points which should result in a good exerciser experience. 2 Give the exerciser the 30- Day Challenge Checklist to complete. 3 Have a staff member stamp or initial the checklist whenever the exerciser completes a goal. When all the tasks have been completed, the checklist should be handed back to the front desk, who will provide the exerciser with their reward. Rewards could be a free month s membership, free PT session, or a discount to a local retail store or restaurant. 4 Take this opportunity to ask your exerciser if they have identified a friend for referral to ensure they'll complete the challenge. The Exerciser Activity Report gives you the opportunity to see those exercisers who have not logged in for awhile, and reach out to them to keep them engaged during the challenge. 5 Book a fitness review with the exerciser to update their weekly goal, and to ensure they continue to have focus in their training.
