IHRSA Store spring sale starts May 1

Spring is a great time of the year: rejuvenation, warmer weather, and an overall good feeling coming out of winter doldrums.

Another benefit is the season is that it is usually the time people and business clear out junk and stuff they don’t need in order to bring in something new and fresh.

The IHRSA Store is doing just that – the clearing out, not the junk – and at discounted prices. From May 1 through June 30 any purchases over $50 will come with a 15% discount and free delivery (in the U.S.).

That means the MP3, report, publication, webinar, merchandise, research and more can all be purchased for a huge discount.

• Clubs should offer group exercise sessions or member socials to encourage unmarried consumers to come out and get to know other members of the health club facility.
• The majority of members keep coming back to use their health club to get or stay in shape and for overall health and well-being.
• Women are more likely to cite the convenience of the location (64%) as an attraction to belonging to their current health club.
