When it comes to your digital strategy it’s important to consider a couple of key questions including resources and capabilities. One of the key considerations is whether to build or partner with an industry leader.

We are currently experiencing a shift towards health-oriented training, especially for the generation of best agers and baby boomers. With over a third of the population (and rising) they already represent an important part of the target group for virtually every fitness or health facility. Therefore it’s crucial to have the right offer to cater towards their needs.

For members to understand how their exercise positively impacts their fitness and health, it’s crucial to make progress visible at every step. The EGYM BioAge is a comprehensive fitness and health indicator that combines a wide range of user measurements into an easy-to-understand BioAge that can be compared to a member's physical age.

As the coronavirus pandemic began, fitness and health facilities across the country went on lockdown to prevent infection. Many turned to home workouts to stay fit, and technology became the essential component of all fitness or health facilities to stay connected to their members. More importantly, the motivation behind why people were exercising changed. For years, the fitness industry was primarily by aesthetics and beauty. Now, people are concerned about exercising for their health. More and more people are looking for ways to support their immune systems and reduce factors that place them in risk categories. There is a growing desire for diet changes and exercise to boost the body's defense against infection. In times of the "new normal," people are aware of the ongoing pandemic but want to take their fate into their own hands and support their health.
