PRESENTATION OF THE
PROJECT

Procesos; Researcher in Group IGOID
The concept of physical activity has evolved during recent years
towards healthy activity for everyone focused on the improvement of
the quality of life.
Therefore, with the aim of preventing ex-clients from readopting old
sedentary lifestyles, we express the necessity of studying the reasons why
these people decide to drop out the program, as well as their future
behavior. Thus, we will provide not only a solution for the dropouts but
also tools to prevent the ex-clients from losing their active and healthy
daily habits
The Group IGOID and the consulting company Optimización Costes y
Procesos (OCP) have carried out the research: “Where do the sports
centers' ex-clients go?” for the Foundation Vida Activa y Saludable with the
sponsorship of the company Matrix. An analysis about new habits after
leaving the sports center with the main aim of studying the behavior and the
level of sports practice of the fitness centers’ ex-clients. In this way, we
continue with the research line focused on generating knowledge about the
motivations of Sports Centers' clients with the objective of decreasing the
dropouts, which started with the project: “Bajas de clientes en centros
deportivos Matrix 2013-2014” ("Clients' dropouts in sports centers Matrix
2013-2014"). Moreover, the Group IGOID, the consulting company
Optimización Costes y Procesos, the Vida Activa y Saludable Foundation
and the company Matrix contribute to establish the basis for the promotion
of the research, development and innovation (R&D) in the area of sport and
health.
For the collection of the data used in this research a self-administered
questionnaire was created online through the platform Canal Escucha
Clientes®. The ex-clients of the sports centers that participated in the
study received an individual email, in which the characteristics of the
project were described, and a manual for the correct participation was
attached. The questionnaires were answered anonymously.

UNIVERSE
AND SAMPLE
The project was developed in 2015. 14 chains of independent
Fitness & Wellness and Sports Centers, representing 106 centers
of all possible types: low cost, medium, premium, independent
centers, chains and franchises. No type of center was excluded
from the sample. Dropouts were collected from June to November.
A total number of 7863 answers was obtained from the 49.665 exclients who received the questionnaire. For that purpose, the
subjects of the sample received a self-administered questionnaire
through an online platform called Canal Escucha Clientes®. This
questionnaire included descriptive data of the sample, the factors
and causes of the dropout, questions to measure the experience
during the time that they were active, as well as questions
regarding their behavior once the dropout was managed.

The frequency of attendance is one of the main factors to be measured with the aim of knowing the level of adhesion that clients have in
their sports centers regarding physical activity. Thus, the ex-clients were asked to indicate how often they used to go to the fitness centers
in a normal month. We can observe how the majority of clients used to go 4-5 times per week (36%) and 2-3 times per week (49%).

With respect to the seniority or time that clients belonged actively to the sport center, we can appreciate in the results how the ex-clients
were involved in the center mainly between one and six months (37%), between six months and one year (25%) and between one and
three years (23%). The two options less represented in our sample were ex-clients being involved in the center less than a month (6%)
and more than three years (8%).

During recent years, the experiences of clients have been shown to have a higher correlation with the economic results of the companies
than the satisfaction. Therefore, one of the key questions aimed to measure the emotions experienced by the clients when training in
their sports centers. The results show that the main emotions were happiness with a 33%, certainty 19% and burden 17%, followed by
affection 13%, disappointment 7%, tension 4%, insecurity 3% and exclusivity 0%.

When comparing the dropout causes in these two researches, lack of time and moving house appear to be the most frequent causes
exposed by the ex-clients. In contrast, we can see how vacation became one of the main dropout causes in the 2015 research, probably
due to period of time audited (June-November 2015).

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR IMPROVEMENT
1
IN THE SPORTS CENTER
EVERYONE HAS TO SELL
AND FOSTER LOYALTY. THE
INTERACTION AND
CONTACT WITH CLIENTS IS
A KEY ELEMENT.
2.
INITIAL ADVICE AND
MONITORING THE CLIENTS IS
VITAL IN THE FIRST YEAR.
MANY SPORTS CENTERS
DENOTE THAT THEY LOSE
THEIR CLIENTS ONCE THEY
ENROLLED IN THE CENTER.
4.
THE STAFF MEMBERS OF OUR
CENTERS PLAY AN IMPORTANT
ROLE IN THE EMOTIONS
EXPERIENCED BY OUR CLIENTS. THE
TRAINING OF OUR STAFF IN THESE
ASPECTS IS A KEY POINT.
5.
SET UP AND STRENGTHEN A
RUNNING CLUB IN THE
SPORTS CENTER, BUILDING UP
A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
TRAINING IN THE FITNESS
ROOM AND FASTER TIMES
3.
ASSESS THE CUSTOMER
EXPERIENCE IN THE SPORT
CENTRE. SEVERAL RESEARCHES
HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT THERE
IS A DIRECT CORRELATION
BETWEEN CLIENTS' EXPERIENCE
AND ECONOMIC RESULTS OF THE
COMPANIES. 47% OF THE
RESEARCH EX-CLIENTS THAT DID
NOT MEET THEIR EXPECTATIONS
LEFT THEIR SPORTS CENTER.
6.
HELP OUR CLIENTS TO SET
GOALS IN A CHALLENGE
FORMAT. THEY MUST BE
ACHIEVABLE AND MOTIVATING.
PROVIDE CLIENTS WITH
FEEDBACK ABOUT THEIR
EVOLUTION AND PROGRESS.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE
THE LOYALTY
7.
CAMPAIGNING FOR
“HIGHLIGHTING THE VALUE OF
OUR SERVICE”. WE MUST
FOCUS ON THE BENEFITS THAT
OUR SERVICES PROVIDE. IT IS
NEEDED TO IMPROVE HOW
OUR CLIENTS PERCEIVE THE
VALUE FOR MONEY OF OUR
SERVICES AND THEIR QUALITY.
8.
LACK OF TIME IS NOT THE
MAIN CAUSE OF EX-CLIENTS'
DROPOUTS, IT IS JUST AN
OBJECTION USED BY PEOPLE
WHO WE DID NOT HELP
ENOUGH FOR THE PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY TO BECOME PART
OF THEIR LIFESTYLE.
9.
MAKE IT EASY.
10.
MEASURING HELPS TO
IMPROVE.
