Fitness is in. The percentage of people belonging to health clubs and gyms has doubled over the past 20 years. More growth is expected, fueled by an aging Baby Boomer generation in search of eternal youth and the reality that regular exercise can prevent or control diseases that are driving health care costs relentlessly upward.

Our company, Eli-Gar LTD. are the parent company of Gold’s Gym of South Texas and have been in the fitness industry since 2005. We have focused our growth in North Laredo and the Rio Grande Valley, however, in recent years our group have come to the realization that Laredo is a very different city from what it was 11 years ago.

The small town of Rapid City, South Dakota has a population of nearly 71,000 residents. The main employer to Rapid City is home to roughly 3,500 military veterans located at Ellsworth Air Force Base. When the term ‘military’ comes to mind, an assortment of words come to mind. Deployment. Family. War. Aircraft. To some though, the word fitness comes to mind first. Everyone knows that in order to be a member of the United States military, you must be fit. Every member of the Armed Forces know that they can be called upon at any time to perform an assortment of tasks, and being physically fit is a priority. Nearly every military base has a gym or fitness facility, but who wants to visit the base after hours to work out? How often do you catch yourself watching the clock, waiting for the hour hand to strike four so that you can check out for the day? Because of this, fitness facilities throughout the city is a hot topic amongst military veterans. Towards the end of 2015, Rapid City was home to three small-scale fitness centers. Because of the lack of choices, of course it made sense to charge steep prices. In December of 2015, that all changed with the arrival of Planet Fitness. Planet Fitness, founded in 1992, focused on reducing prices to compete against the other well-known brands. The organization is an American health and wellness franchise that focuses on a casual, yet personal, gym experience with no judgment or discomfort. Their ‘no judgment’ attitude

This outstanding success didn’t occur through luck, but through fantastic marketing strategies that have had a considerable impact on other gym’s ideology on how to attract customers. In this paper, Planet Fitness’s creative marketing plan will be described in full, from what their product offers to how they successfully attack an extremely competitive market.

According to the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA), there are approximately 30 million adult members of fitness centers in the United States. By the year 2010, this number is likely to grow to 50 million.

This trend coupled with the major demographic shifts should produce an increased demand for fitness services and products.

When I first moved to Denver, Colorado, I went on a small search to find a fitness club that would meet all of my needs. After an online search, I discovered a Lifetime Fitness that was five miles from my apartment. Growing up in an active family and being in the Marines Corps with constant moving, I have experienced a multitude of gyms: with some being good and some being bad. Luckily for me, I have been a member of Lifetime Fitness before, and I knew they set the bar high for fitness clubs that very few others met.
