GREATER INITIAL MEMBER RETENTION
The Octathalon has a perfect initiation process that gives motivation and guided direction to new and existing members. The benefits to this are that you are more likely to keep a new members from lapsing their membership early and to stay beyond the critical 180 day period. The early habits and support mechanisms that are installed within the induction course enhances this. In addition to this, it is well known that with more classes on offer, member retention rates are higher. Learn more about these classes......... |
SAFER HEART RATE FOCUS
Octathalon training is firmly based around carefully defined heart rate training and that gives your trainers, and your members, greater confidence in their own development because the exercising they will be doing is far safer as the programs are set more precisely for the individual.

EASE OF IMPLEMENTATION
The Octathalon and the Octathalon classes can easily be incorporated within a current gym environment by using existing gym equipment and no other space in the club is needed. This maximises a clubs earning potential with minimal cost and distraction to any of its current activities and programs. Even the Octathalon trainer training program will not take up too much valuable club time as it is an evidenced based, self study, distance learning course with one day away on a practical assessment for reasons of strict quality control.

GREATER INCOME POTENTIAL
The Octathalon Induction course opens up a new market in the health clubs. Although the final costings are down to the clubs and their personal trainers, it is pitched financially at a lower hourly cost for an individual than a personal 1:1 training session. For the many members who might not be able to afford a regular personal trainer, the Induction courses offer a great new alternative whilst still giving them tailored training sessions. Because the Octathalon Induction is run for groups of eight members at a time, it also gives a club and its trainers a greater hourly rate of income than the 1:1 personal training market.

Learn more about the training modules on offer.................. REPEATABILITY, LONGEVITY & SUSTAINABILITY OF BENEFIT
The induction course handbook is just the first of several handbooks that will be coming out in the next couple of years. We have found that even though members have done the course, they come back and do it again as it not only offers them something new and different, because the training is linked to their new levels of strength and fitness, but also it keeps a common objective – the run through of one of the three Octathalon courses. This allows them to set goals and standards and to see improvements in their health and fitness far more easily. With the advent of even more handbooks, and the desire for members to work their way up the handbook grades, the potential benefit for everyone lasts even longer.
