Here’s how to run the event:

This one’s easy!

The aim is to encourage some social time and give people the space to get to know each other outside of their workout environment. By fostering a positive social atmosphere, you’ll have better retention and more word-of-mouth referrals.

You have a couple of choices regarding how to run the event:

Meet somewhere at lunchtime to give your shoppers the opportunity to show off their great finds!

If you’re motivated, you could contact some retailers to see if they will offer a one-off deal to your members, or talk to your nominated brunch venue about offering discounted coffee or menu items (make sure they have healthy options for your dedicated fitness fans).

Option 1

After a training session (any night of the week can work for this event), organise everybody to travel to a local ice creamery. Let the venue know you’re coming so they can handle a rush of customers.

Encourage car-pooling so people have the opportunity to connect on the way to and from the location.

Option 2

Order in and set up your own in-house ice cream bar. Get creative with sprinkles and sauces, or organise a ‘smash’ station where members can create their own toppings from chocolate bars and sweets.

This is a chance to break good-eating habits for a special occasion, but consider a sorbet, dairy-free or low-fat option for members who have special requirements or are keen to stay on track with their diet.

You may wish to think of something for members to do after the ice creams have been polished off, such as heading to the cinema or moving on to the local pub.

Promoting the event:

Promote your event well ahead of time so your members can clear their schedules.

This event is all about camaraderie, so make sure you encourage people to come along and bring their friends who may be thinking of joining but haven’t quite made it across the starting line.

Add updates to your social media pages, post flyers around the gym and don’t forget to email your members and ask them to RSVP.
