It\u2019s a fun way to create a sense of community and competition your clients crave. You set the parameters with a realistic and specific fitness goal that clients complete in a restricted time frame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, host a 21- or 30-day online fitness challenge, getting clients to take a class (yoga, spin, or weightlifting), perform a set of exercises (squats, push-ups, or crunches), or reach a certain number of steps or miles every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds like fun, but it can also mean seriuous growth for your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><div class=\"custom-yoast-toc-title\">Here are five benefits of online challenges for your business:<\/div><ul><li><a href=\"#h-1-helps-you-obtain-more-clients\" data-level=\"2\">1.

Helps you obtain more clients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Challenges are a great marketing tool. While they help motivate your existing members, they also introduce new members to your business and encourage them to purchase sign-up deals or invest in personal training to complete a challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few more ways a fitness challenge can increase your revenue with new members:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clients reaching their goals are more likely to become full-time members.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If they loved your challenge, they\u2019ll tell their friends and encourage them to join.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Successfully completing a challenge increases the odds they\u2019ll join your next challenge, too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clients are more likely to invest in your business long-term once they feel part of your community.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-encourages-movement-and-motivates-clients\">2. Encourages movement and motivates clients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Movement and health are more important than ever these days. Now\u2019s the time to focus on being as healthy as we can, and online challenges encourage members to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Move and exercise more throughout their day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintain a healthy weight by paying attention to their habits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feel part of a community, despite social distancing being the new normal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set goals and work towards those milestones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-lets-you-hold-clients-accountable\">3. Lets you hold clients accountable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Accountability is crucial to getting results and online fitness challenges provide the checks and balances your clients need. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthmag.com\/uk\/fitness\/workouts\/a26338056\/accountability-weightwatchers\/\">Research<\/a> shows people are 65% more likely to reach their goal when they tell someone about it and 95% more likely if they work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WellnessLiving is an expert accountability partner with tools your community will love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/help.wellnessliving.com\/en\/articles\/8977027-transformation-log\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Transformation log<\/strong><\/a><strong>: <\/strong>Clients stay in the know with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/features\/achieve\/\">Achieve Client App<\/a>.
