Various studies show that only 20-30% of the people with a gym membership actually go to the gym. The rest of the members (70-80%) do not use their subscription or only sporadically. This means that only 1 out of 4 people actually uses their gym membership.
RWIJK GYM with the distinctive 100% fit guarantee
In striving for a healthier and fitter life, people encounter all kinds of obstacles in achieving their goals. Usually, these obstacles are personal in nature. Consider
- Lack of time: People are too busy with work, family, or other obligations.
- Motivation problems: People find it difficult to find the motivation to go to the gym. Fitness is boring!
- Financial reasons: Fitness subscriptions costs Spending unnecessarily large amounts of money monthly, failing to deliver the desired results because it is underutilized or not used at all.
- Health problems: People may have injuries or other health problems that prevent them from exercising.
But if we zoom in on the numbers, it obviously cannot be the case that 80%, among the people who fail to follow a fitness program, is dealing with one of the above problems. But what, then, are the reasons why they fail to successfully follow the fitness programs, and what is the secret to working out at RWIJK GYM in this regard?
Environmental factors highlighted; Locations with Pizza and Fries
If we zoom in on the map of the Plaspoelpoler in Rijswijk below, showing the area around the location of RWIJK GYM, and search for pizza or fries, we see on Google Maps a cloud of locations where these snacks are available. People are strongly influenced by environmental factors, and the smell of pizza is tempting, but due to unhealthy fats, high levels of salt and sugar, processed ingredients, and insufficient fresh produce such as fiber-rich vegetables, they are not the healthiest meal choices. It is therefore a compliment to the members of RWIJK GYM who, without succumbing to these temptations, still manage to reach the RWIJK GYM personal gym time and again.
Do not demonize types of food. As far as we are concerned, you can eat everything.
During the guidance of its members, no food types are prohibited. So, a pizza from time to time fits perfectly into a varied diet. However, at RWIJK GYM, we teach our members that a pizza can also be prepared in a healthier way. Use whole wheat dough (or make a base from vegetables): Whole wheat dough contains more fiber and nutrients than white dough. Choose lean toppings: Opt for low-fat cheese (or leave the cheese out entirely), plenty of vegetables, and lean meat toppings (or no meat and vegetables instead). And limit the portion size: Eat a normal portion instead of an oversized pizza.
With our solution-focused coaching method (MOC method) for our members, a pizzeria is simply one of the many businesses in the immediate vicinity of the Plaspoelpolder in Rijswijk and of our personal gym, such as Horecatex or the EPO (European Patent Office).
Training with the fun factor
Expert power supply– and lifestyle coaching is an indispensable part of RWIJK GYM’s success formula. But there is more. Members are truly part of a community where they can be themselves and feel at home. This is possible through one-on-one guidance (personal training), but also by training in small groups (small group training). The 21-Day Challenge is a good example of how members start by achieving optimal results, but above all learn that they can work on their fitness with pleasure, together with RWIJK GYM.
