ACTIVE AGING lifestyles vs. ANTI AGING gimmicks
The fitness industry’s approach to beauty & wellness solutions

or FITNESS AS THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH?

It seems that while the American population continues to chase after instant easy diet fixes – the overall result is adversely a growing case of obesity and medical concerns. With a quickly growing pool of senior adults, we need an alternative solution to ensure health and wellness can be achieved and supported. While the beauty and cosmetic industry seeks to stake a share in the health and fitness industry through shallow surface quick fix concoctions for short term satisfaction – the fitness industry actively attacks the root of the issue promoting and supporting long-term effective approaches to health and wellness – an approach that takes some elbow grease and commitment – tackling beauty and health from the inside out. In a point in time where “active aging” is suddenly becoming the industry buzz -- catering to this population and their specific needs is an urgent concern. What are you as a fitness facility doing to prepare?

In a brief survey we interviewed 3 active seniors about the cardio equipment they use regularly at Hancock Wellness Center located in Indiana.*

Richard, age 76 Pete, age 66 Marcy, age 67

Which piece of cardio do you prefer and why?

Richard: “Elliptical. They are easy on my joints and the movement is smooth.”
Pete: “Treadmill. I love walking and these treadmills pass the time!”
Marcy: “Treadmill. I can adjust tilt and speed easily, watch TV and listen to my iPod all at
the same time.”

What is your favorite feature about it?

Richard: “I like the speed options/levels and the natural movement of the unit to my body”
Pete: “I like the speed variations in the OneTouch™ feature, it keeps intervals simple to increase and
decrease and it meets my needs in a smooth manner. It’s more comfortable than walking on the
regular ground!”
Marcy: “The TV is my favorite feature”

Is entertainment (a personal viewing TV) important to you?

Richard: “TV is very important. I can do more (exercise) with less effort (perceived effort) when paying
attention to something that entertains me rather than focusing on time
Pete: “I enjoy the fact that I can plug into the unit to hear better as well as view my choice of
program.”
Marcy: “The TV is important to me because it make the time go faster and I look forward to
watching my regular program ‘Good Morning America’ while getting exercise. It keeps my
workouts regular and often!”

How long have you been a member there?

Richard: “I’ve been a member since 2003”
Pete: “I’ve been a member since 2007”
Marcy: “I’ve been a member for about 4 years”

What would be on your “wish list” for the cardio equipment featured at your home gym?

Richard: “I can’t imagine anything more”
Pete: “It has everything I want and more, I like that every work is new!
Marcy: “To have a TV on ALL cardio units! (the recumbent and upright bikes)”

ENCOURAGING SELF MANAGEMENT & MEDICAL SAVINGS FOR SENIORS

According to an article published by the Surgeon General in August of 2009, self-management programs are going to be huge in promoting healthy-aging and in our responsibility as a national effort to effectively care for the rapidly growing segment of elderly (65+) adults. Our efforts to contributing positively to this market is going to be significant whether we come from the perspective of a gym providing the services and support or the vendors developing and supplying the equipment. In 2007, 38 million people were ages 65 or older. By the year 2030 that numbers is estimated to be at 71.5 million people. With the foresight to see a quickly aging population, we have an incredible opportunity in this health and fitness market to provide alternative health care solutions proven to work long-term where Medicare and social security cannot.

The top 3 causes of death in those 65 or older are heart disease (32%), cancer (22%) and strokes (8%). 60% of all causes of death in those 65 or older fall into one of these 3 categories. All of which are highly preventable when implementing a regular work out plan.

It is common knowledge that exercise has its benefits. What may not be so common is the broadcasting of the benefits and necessity of living healthy active lives so that it may serve as a preventative maintenance program over the span of a lifetime. We need to educate the senior population on HOW TO stay healthy & strong and to reinforce how staying active has a direct connection to keeping their most common medical problems minimized, and ultimately REDUCING THEIR MEDICAL COSTS.

The time you spend today investing in your health is truly an investment in your tomorrow.

So how can you take everything you are reading about the growing market of active aging and apply it to your facility? Keep in mind that not only are you trying to cater to a market of aging adults, but you also want to educate them on the reasons why they should join your gym and stay active in general. Understand their point of view and express the benefits and solutions to those issues.

EDUCATE TO MOTIVATE

The older group of aging adults doesn’t typically consider spending more than a pretty penny on a fitness membership they feel is not really catering to their special needs and requests. Why not give them a reason or two to re-think the importance of investing in a fitness membership at your gym. While advertising doesn’t need to be a prominent expense – let it be more a list of options that your sales staff and personal trainers are actively promoting and sharing with potential members.

SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE

· Older adults 65+ are so concerned nonetheless enticed by marketing to “lose weight” or “get fit.” Rather, it is references to “reducing fatigue” or “increasing energy” that will perk up their ears. Older age causes more fatigue due to loss of strength and/or will, according to Colin Milner of the ICAA, and offering them opportunities to get involved and advertising the benefits of stimulating their over body, mind, social, and emotional wellbeing is a much better approach to capturing their attention and motivation.

· While today’s day and age is very tech-savvy – realize the elder generation is on a slower learning curve – try to find ways of incorporating technology that are user friendly and effective for them in terms of helping them stick to and regulate a workout that fits with their lifestyle and needs.

ADVERTISE FREE OFFERS SPECIFIC TO THEIR CONCERNS

· Offer a blend of physical activity, healthy lifestyle and a socially-oriented group exercise programs that allow older adults to take greater control of their health.

· Offer free health examinations and suggestions for implementing an active plan to target and reverse their health concerns

· Offer free personal training sessions to get them acclimated with the specific units that are geared toward their needs. Having someone actually walk them through a workout has a psychological positive effect of comfort when coming back for the first time to a typically intimidating environment for them.

When Jeff Herdman visualized owning a fitness club in Southern California, he imagined a club unlike any other. After locating an unused airplane hangar at Hawthorne Airport, a few miles east of LAX, Herdman launched his brainchild – an athletic club that focuses its attention on basketball and volleyball players of all ages, while also catering to traditional exercisers. read the full article..

Motus USA On Their Innovative Financing Solutions. NFTJ Interview with Motus USA 2009.

Fitness centers are constantly working to maintain that delicate balance between member retention and boosting their bottom line. With people approaching gym memberships more selectively and with higher expectations, gyms today are working hard to ensure that they keep their existing members happy as well as continuing to grow new membership sales. Motus USA is launching their “Cash for Cardio Clunkers™” program to help encourage and assist in new equipment purchases. In this industry, we can appreciate those equipment manufacturers like Motus, who will rise to the occasion and bring to the table innovative solutions to meet today’s challenging reality.

NFTJ: “Cash for Cardio Clunkers™” that’s got a very nice ring to it! In light of today’s economy and the hesitancy of many facilities to spend big money – this seems to offer people an affordable way to trade in and trade up?

MOTUS USA: YES! That is exactly the solution that we are striving to bring to the table. “Cash for Clunkers” was such a huge success in automobile world -- affording people a way to positively impact the environment (getting gas guzzlers off the road) as well as giving them a cost break to purchase a newer, and more gas efficient vehicle. Our spin-off campaign “Cash for Cardio Clunkers™” was established to basically offer the same advantages – just in a cardio equipment setting.

NFTJ: How does this program differentiate itself from the typical
trade in deals that many other manufacturers offer as well?

MOTUS: “Cash for Cardio Clunkers™” was made possible by our strong industry relationships that are working tightly with us to ensure we can assess the highest trade in value on equipment and pass forward that savings to our customers. We really go to bat for our clients – working with our in-house financing department allowing all parties to win in the end – members get excited by the new equipment changes, we secure a new client relationship and the client is en-route to brand new equipment.

NFTJ: Today, many clubs are looking high and low for sources of financing for equipment upgrades. What is your view on the matter and how do you as an equipment manufacturer, approach that issue to get your clients financed?

MOTUS: After conversing with several new and existing clients, we were able to tap into some of the looming concerns and issues they have today, and re-thought how we can better address and innovatively attack the concerns. Club owners are finding that equipment manufacturers are no longer able to offer the bulk discounts and financing that they could a year ago. The banks have tightened up their lines of credit and it is harder for clubs to get approved for financing. In light of this situation, we were able to come up with some creative equipment solutions uniquely tailored and planned out to assist those clubs in securing the financial backing they needed.

BURBANK ATHLETIC CLUBS

"Motus USA really went above and beyond to ensure I got the financing I needed to install brand new Motus USA integrated cardio into my two new Burbank Athletic Club locations -- formerly World Gym facilities. The members love the equipment, and I am impressed that percentage of closed deals on walk-in sales have increased since trading in the old cardio for the new Motus USA equipment." - Greg Bedrossian, CEO & Owner

NFTJ: Do you feel that there are people who see Motus equipment with their “integrated LCD TV screens” and automatically rule it out as expensive and not an option when it comes to tight budgets?

MOTUS: That is a possibility. Motus equipment, however, is highly competitive in pricing – quite frankly we offer the best value for money. We’ve had clients tell us how pleasantly surprised they were at the affordable pricing despite the “expensive look and feel” of the units. We simply offer great products at very affordable price points and it is unfortunate that many would make an assumption and miss out on both (1) A great product that delivers on value and (2) A superior level of customer service that we pride ourselves on.

NFTJ: What would be your top 4 reasons as to why a gym should consider this “Cash for Cardio Clunkers™” Program you are offering?

MOTUS: Here are 4 compelling reasons WHY a club should take advantage of “Cash for Cardio Clunkers.™” #1 Old cardio equipment gives members a reason to move gyms – or at least to shop around! #2 Newer cardio equipment consumes energy more efficiently. #3 Newer equipment attracts new members and expresses value and appreciation to your existing members. #4 New equipment equals lowered maintenance costs. (and did I mention, this program won’t last forever, we are encouraging our existing clients to TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIGH TRADE IN VALUES NOW.)

NFTJ: What would you advise those gym owners who are not ready to make a purchase on brand new equipment, but are looking for cost effective ways to re-energize their member excitement and cardio regimes?

MOTUS: Leasing like-new equipment and trading up down the road to the brand new equipment can work nicely as a creative way to generate a buzz and excitement with members and new prospects about the new equipment in the club.

NFTJ: In light of today’s economy, what would you say to those fitness facilities, many of whom are having a difficult time justifying spending money on equipment upgrades.

MOTUS: While the state of the economy continues to press in on us, we need to resist the urge to just “survive.” Let’s keep in mind that beyond the daily regimen of operations – we have a bigger issue to attack and open our doors to – we need to continue to broadcast the importance of maintaining healthy & fit lifestyles, offering our services and expertise to see people engaged, excited and motivated! Very often – a novel offer, class or advertising that new piece of equipment can be that extra added draw to set apart one club from another. We know getting financing is not the easiest thing to secure these days, and we at Motus USA do what is necessary to positively affect the health club industry, supporting them to excel and do what they do best – attract and retain members! Economic cycles will come and go but the value of impacting individuals for the good remains a constant. By actively addressing the critical issues that press in on club owners, we are able to come up with creative working solutions to overcome those barriers.

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

Cardio Sales Hold Steady for Some Companies

Stuart Goldman

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.

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

2008-10-01T14:43:00.000-07:00

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
