Motus USA VP & CFO Interviewed by Fitness Business Pro on Cardio Equipment Sales & Social Networking










Jun 1, 2009 12:00 PM

Cardio Sales Hold Steady for Some Companies

Overland Park, Ks — In today's market, cardio sales can be tough for manufacturers, but some of the cardio equipment companies that are enjoying a measure of success right now are younger companies using newer marketing approaches to focus their sales efforts on a specific product rather than multiple categories of products.

Motus USA is using social networking mediums, such as Facebook and Twitter, to reach out to current and potential customers, says Tania Cobb, vice president and CFO at the Carson, CA-based company.

“Word of mouth has become so important in these alternative mediums because we are able to bring all of our clients — existing and potential — into these mediums and enable our existing clients to communicate with these individuals,” Cobb says.

Motus USA, which entered the U.S. market in 2005, also has been actively hiring salespeople.

“It's very important to have a strong sales force and not to be cutting back on your sales force right now,” Cobb says. “This year and into 2010 is going to be a very aggressive marketing and sales time in our company's history.”

Motus USA has not had the sales growth it expected at the beginning of the year, Cobb says, but she adds that the second quarter of 2009 is on par with the second quarter of 2008.

“We expect the third quarter this year to be even stronger,” she says.

Client Testimonial - Classic Lines Fitness

CLASSIC LINES FITNESS
Virginia Beach, VA



“It’s hard to imagine that now days one can find a product that after two years of everyday use,one could not find anything negative to say, yet here we are. Believe it or not, it has been two years since I purchased six brand new MOTUS USA treadmills, yep, the ones with the fully integrated LCD TV’s. Jealous already? You should be. In the last two years I’ve had no problems with them, none whatsoever. The machines are very quiet, sleek looking and all of my members love them. Just don’t try to get on them between four and five in the afternoon when Oprah is on! It’s nice to be the small guy in town that has something awesome to offer their members that no one else has. Thanks, MOTUS!”

Burbank Athletic Clubs: North Location & Media Center transformed from former World Gym Locations

BURBANK ATHLETIC CLUB
North Location & Media Center
Burbank, CA

Burbank Athletic Club has been completely transformed from two former World Gym locations to incredibly classy, attractive and "results driven" facilities with the assistance of MOTUS USA's CEO, Roy Greenberg, who offered his services both as a well-seasoned industry consultant and comprehensive equipment provider. Reflecting back upon the past months of planning, development and implementation, owner Greg Bedrossian had some incredibly kind words to share about his experience working with MOTUS USA and the quality relationship he was able to foster with Roy Greenberg. (continued below)









Dear gym owners abroad and new equipment shoppers,

My name is Greg Bedrossian, and I recently purchased two World Gym’s in Burbank California. It was obvious these clubs would require a tremendous amount of TLC and effective marketing. My options were to stay in the World Gym family and possibly convert the clubs to Planet Fitness facilities or attach myself to another independent franchise label. I chose to go a different direction and renamed them Burbank Athletic Club “North” and Burbank Athletic Club “Media Center”. Having made my decision to go with my own brand and build its value I have made many improvements to both facilities with structural and cosmetic renovations. All these changes have contributed to the creation of a premium brand and improved business. However, the single most important upgrade was the replacement of all the equipment particularly the cardio equipment. I am very pleased with my decision to use cardio equipment from Motus USA. The Motus USA product is superior in durability, and usage. It also has a contemporary look, especially with the integrated LCD screens. Each piece looks like artwork. Owner Roy Greenberg, with his expert advice in assessing health clubs needs, combined with the value of the Motus USA products have helped me establish my Burbank Athletic Club brand with a premium presentation and much success.


In good health,
Greg Bedrossian
Burbank Athletic Club
