Presented by Mike Epstein, Owner, Gold’s Gym Paramus

In order to be a successful health club operator, you need to have a plan for your image outside of your four walls. How will your club stand out among all the rest?

One way your club can differentiate itself is through community service and engagement. Getting involved in the community can bolster your club’s brand in several ways, and cement your business as a trusted organization among locals.

In this webinar, you’ll learn from Gold's Gym Paramus Owner Mike Epstein how a community service strategy can directly influence your image and engagement in the community. You’ll also discover how to activate your staff and leverage their passions to drive employee engagement.

Epstein will share his tips on how to balance multiple projects. He will share examples from Gold's Gym Paramus and their numerous community success stories. Through Epstein's efforts, his club has raised $4 million nationally for diabetes, participated in a special fitness program for young adults with autism, and much more.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discover how to go all-in on community service and make it fun for your staff and your members
  • Learn how to create a community service culture to share with your staff and your members
  • Explore how you can leverage community service as a differentiator in your market
  • Find out how you can become a valued resource in your community

“In addition to keeping the members inside our four walls healthy, we have always felt that bringing health and fitness outside of our gym and into the community is just as important. At Gold’s Gym Paramus, our mission and our differentiator is to serve our entire community”
