How long did it take you to make health a priority?
We recently conducted a random survey with our members as we were VERY interested in the answer to one question we were dying to ask.
Mind you, we have approximately 170 awesome members so getting great data was relatively easy and the feedback was very honest.
So, we asked the all-important question, “How long did you think about emailing us or popping in to see Jason or Brent at P360 for a chat and a look around the gym?”
And to our surprise, a staggering 76% of members took between 6-9 months to “work up the courage” to reach out to us for much needed coaching. Astounding statistics for us… but completely understandable at the same time. It can be daunting. And it can be completely out of your comfort zone. But it can also be the best decision of your life!
We must make mention as well, out the 76% that took 6-9 months to take action, they also WISH they did it much, much sooner. Of course… this element is no surprise to us and we wish they did too.
And guess what… going back through our potential member collection service, we are in fact seeing many people who enquired about training at Perform 360 this time 6 months ago (or even this time last year) enquiring once again.
We cannot help but think, DAMN IT! If ONLY we had the last 12 months to work with them and let them experience how good being fit, mobile, strong and energized actually feels.
But also, there’s ONE critical thing to remember. Maybe those 76% of members needed that time to figure out what they really wanted. Maybe they needed that time to reflect on what’s really important to them. Maybe they said, “Enough is enough, I NEED to change!” Whatever it was, we’re super glad they decided to take action and join our community.
So, I ask you this, how long have YOU been thinking about exercising and taking better care of your health? 3 months? 6 months? 12 months? 18 months? And I want you to truly think about this for a moment.
However, I urge you to ask yourself one more question. What if you started today? What if you weren’t part of the 76% who wish they started earlier? What if you didn’t throw away 6-9 months?
We don’t mind what you do – walking, cycling, swimming, lifting weights, boxing, kayaking, dancing… whatever it is… we just want you to get started! You only have one life!
