Fitness Marketing Expert is Now Offering The Blueprints To His New Diversified Marketing Approach For Fitness Professionals. Most Businesses, According To Dr. Sam Bakhtiar, Have All Their Eggs In One Basket. They Rely On One Source For Their Leads. Dr. Sam Explains Why This Approach Is The Kiss Of Death.

Chino Hills, CA (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

Fitness Marketing expert and founder of Super-Trainer.com Sam Bakhtiar says that many fitness professionals tend to put all of their marketing eggs into one basket by getting caught up in marketing trends such as Facebook and Twitter, this is why he has made available on his blog-site the "6-Figures in 67 Days Blueprint"

Bakhtiar, known as “7 Figure Sam” by industry pros and friends believes that trainers could benefit from a more balanced marketing approach. Bakhtiar says, “running a diversified fitness marketing campaign is the key to being successful in this industry.” And he illustrates this perfectly in the manual that you can download for free from his website - http://www.super-trainer.com

He goes on to say, “Facebook ads, “Deal of the Day” coupons, or text message marketing campaigns. These are all great ideas, mind you, but no one avenue is going to bring you riches.” And Bakhtiar would know. His own fitness empire brings in over $2.4 million dollars per year. Not bad for a guy who immigrated to the United States from Persia with little more than the desire to succeed.

He recommends that fitness professionals utilize several marketing distribution channels like YouTube, informative content, Pay Per Click Ads, email marketing and SEO. Having multiple marketing channels means more exposure and a diversified client list. Any successful investor would never think of putting all of their money into one stock or company. Successful fitness marketers understand that diversity is also critical when it comes to the long term success and viability of their business.

For people looking for an all encompassing fitness marketing guide, Bakhtiar’s website Super-Trainer.com offers his “Six-Figures in 67 Days Blueprint” training course for people who want to earn a lucrative living within the fitness industry.

About Super-Trainer.Com:

Super-Trainer.com is a Fitness Marketing website and community owned by personal trainer and entrepreneur Sam “7Figure Sam” Bakhtiar. Bakhtiar specializes in helping fitness enthusiasts including personal trainers, gym owners, and boot camp operators run a successful business.

Many independent fitness trainers agonize over how they can raise their rates or drop one of their services and still remain competitive, when big box franchises are slashing their rates down to $5 or $20 a month. Fitness Marketing Expert Sam Bakhtiar shares his thoughts. For more information, visit http://www.super-trainer.com.

Chino Hills, CA (PRWEB) February 01, 2012

Many independent fitness trainers worry how they can stay afloat in this economy, when big box franchises are slashing their rates so dramatically. In any given location across America, one may see flyers for $5 or $20 monthly gym memberships, with no sign-up fees. It’s difficult for independently owned training studios to match those prices, since they don’t have 500 or more members to share the cost of operations. According to Fitness Marketing Expert Sam Bakhtiar, trainers must work to create an experience that their big box rivals can’t reproduce.

“Planet Fitness might be offering you a $20 membership,” Sam explains, “but that’s because they’ve priced themselves to keep a revolving door of members coming in and out. You might get to use the latest and greatest new Cybex Machine and watch HDTV while you work out, but if you want to use a towel, you’ve got to pay $10. Oh, and sorry, there are no zumba or cycling classes. Your fitness marketing has to sell something that people can’t get at Planet Fitness – community.”

According to the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association, up to 45 percent of fitness club members quit each year. They do so because the gym is just a place, and a structure cannot keep people motivated to achieve their fitness goals. Back in the 1970s, people came to fitness clubs to socialize and meet one-on-one with dedicated trainers. Nowadays, people come to clubs to disassociate and lose themselves in their iPods and big-screen TVs. Many big box trainers just throw their hands up in the air and say, “I can’t motivate someone who won’t motivate themselves.” The industry has lost its way.

“The path to retention isn’t hard,” Sam says. “It’s up to you, the little guy, to remind your people why they come to you. Let them know your core values. For instance, I always tell people that our goals are to ‘be the change we want to see in the world, never lose our passion, and always do – never say can’t.’ People identify with these personal values.”

“In a recent email, I told my people that we will be raising rates and discontinuing the free trials for friends. I also let them know that anyone who signed up at a lower rate can keep that lower rate, unless they decide to leave and come back – in which case the higher rate will then apply. I also mention that we have designated ‘bring-a-friend days’ now, where they can bring one first-timer along for one introductory session.”

He continues, “I explained these moves by saying, ‘We’re not going to cheapen your experience. You deserve to be around positive, likeminded people. People that come based off of price will leave based off of price and it’s not fair to you. It’s not fair to you when we redirect energy to an individual that doesn’t really care.’ Effective fitness marketing always conveys an ‘us versus them’ appeal because people like having choice and they like knowing they made the better choice.”

Sam Bakhtiar, CEO of Fit Concepts, has been able to make a multi-million-dollar income based on his sound fitness marketing principles. Over the past few decades, he has built his business from the ground up. Now he helps other personal trainers, boot camp operators, studio owners and fitness professionals streamline their fitness marketing practices to be more successful and earn top dollars in their markets, just as he has.

Fitness Marketing Program Shows Trainers How to Create an Experience That Competes with Big Box Clubs

A new technology at two gyms in both Reno and Sparks allows you to take a fitness class anytime you want.

It's called Fitness On Request. Users can select different classes they want to take ranging from yoga, step, kickboxing and weight lifting.

Fitness On Request has changed the way Neil Atkinson and Donna Jackson view working out, at least after trying the new technology.

"You can take a class and get the same thing but you have to adjust your schedule to the class, this way I can adjust my schedule when I want to take this class," says Atkinson.

Donna says she enjoys the privacy and convenience.

"It's like having your own teacher telling you to go!" says Jackson.

Anytime Fitness personal trainer Lisa Gonzalez also takes classes with her clients.

"If you're running late from work you don't have to worry about missing your class it's on a high definition screen, in a beautiful studio it gets your mind set. It's not like when you're at home and you have all the distractions trying to do a video, the kids need you or the phone rings you can take your class anytime you want," says Gonzalez.

Neil says this sweat is worth it. In fact, since getting into the gym, doing cardio, and taking the classes, he's seen an improvement in his overall health.

"I've probably lost about 30 pounds since coming to the gym. My blood pressures down, it's good for my overall health," says Neil.

"It gives me motivation," says Donna.

Motivation both Neil and Donna can find anytime of the day.

Fitness on request is available at the following locations:
Anytime Fitness at 1130 North Hills Blvd in Reno
Anytime Fitness at 3170 Vista Blvd, Suite 106 in Sparks

Ride of a Lifetime Returns to CityCentre Plaza March 24

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Just in time to cater to the millions of Americans resolving to get fit in the new year, Westin Hotels & Resorts (NYSE:HOT - News) announces a complete refresh of the WestinWORKOUT® program to match the evolving fitness trends among guests and further enhance the brand’s goal of promoting well-being in travel. After conducting in-depth guest research and monitoring workout trends, Westin is transforming fitness facilities at its 186 hotels around the world into highly-designed fitness studios featuring new equipment, blue-light therapy and more. The new fitness studios will roll-out globally throughout 2012.

Floor Space: Spread Out

Westin’s in-house Design Team studied guest behavior and found that the Westin guest desires a more well-rounded, holistic fitness experience, including more options for stretching, yoga and fitness classes. To capitalize on this trend, Westin chose to remove select pieces of equipment that guests were not using as frequently in order to provide more floor space for these types of activities. Finally, versatile pulley machines were added to smaller fitness studios to further maximize space and provide a greater range of workout options.

Customized Lighting: Blue-Light Boost

Westin worked with Philips to create ideal lighting for the re-designed fitness studios and is the first hotel brand to introduce ActiViva Lighting, Philips’ new energizing fluorescent lighting, into its gym facilities. This cutting-edge blue light technology positively influences well-being and will help to make guests feel more alert, awake and energized in target workout areas such as the cardio zone. Additionally, the lighting will be customized in all workout zones to coincide with the type of exercise taking place in each specific area.

Design Aesthetic: Go Natural

The custom-created design of Westin’s new fitness studio, a departure from the typical gym aesthetic, was also driven by the changing trends of how people work out. Instead of black rubber floors, the Westin Design Team chose to use a natural, soft-tone color palette and organic materials including textural woven flooring. Inspired by nature, each fitness studio will also display a full-size art mural entitled “Step Up” – a reflective image of people running up a grassy hill, illustrating Westin’s goal of helping guests leave feeling better than when they arrived.. A built-in entry millwork unit was also added in order to house guests’ essentials, such as towels and water, in one place.

“For a Better You” - Westin’s Elements of Well-Being

The global launch of the new fitness studios joins a host of well-being initiatives recently introduced by Westin Hotels & Resorts. Most recently, Westin launched a brand-wide Associate Enrichment program, introducing the brand’s “Elements of Well Being Platform” to its associates around the world through key touch points. In May 2011, the brand unveiled its groundbreaking “For a Better You” ad campaign that uses artistic imagery to depict the “Elements of Well Being” that help Westin guests leave feeling better than when they arrived. In December 2010, Westin announced an exclusive partnership with New Balance, helping hotel guests overcome the hurdles of exercising on the road by providing New Balance footwear, apparel and fitness program content to its guests to borrow. Later this year, the brand will also be expanding its in-room SuperFoodsRX menu items for breakfast to also include lunch and dinner options.

About Westin Hotels & Resorts

Westin Hotels & Resorts makes the healthiest choices irresistibly appealing, so guests leave feeling better than when they arrived. With more than 180 hotels and resorts in over 36 countries and territories, Westin is owned by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. Starwood Hotels is one of the leading hotel and leisure companies in the world with 1,071 properties in 100 countries and territories with 145,000 employees at its owned and managed properties.
