Cultural leadership in the Fitness & Health Industry
Starting and running a business in the Fitness & Health industry is like nothing else. The competition is fierce, many of the customers are looking for a quick fix and the best deal and it is difficult to explain how you differentiate from all the other similar offers.
And let us face it, if we really boil it down, a gym is just a room with exercise equipment in them and personal trainers are just someone doing programming, nutrition advice and following up on progress. Gym equipment, supplements and smartphone apps come and go.
