How to write a mission statement for gyms



Have you ever thought about how trustworthy your fitness business looks to your workers and customers?

Arguably, trust is an essential pillar to surviving in the highly competitive fitness industry. Plus, if you’re a leading organization that is highly trusted, you’re more than likely to have 2.5 x more organization and growth in your company than lower-performing competitors. 

Trust does not just happen overnight, though, and there’s no one straight formula to accruing a lot of trust from your members. 

While there are a million different methods to generate trust, there’s one proven and successful way to lay the foundations for trust in your health club: a mission statement.

In this article, we will look at what a mission statement is, why its important and how to create on for your fitness business.

What is a mission statement? 
A mission statement is a blanket statement that reflects the purpose of what you want your gym to achieve. Normally mission statements tend to be small and spread over a couple of lines. Even though they’re just a couple of lines, these statements take time to write as they have to reflect your company’s vision and allow it to represent your values accurately. 

They’re also important as they help your employees review your company’s purpose and act in line with your goals. Finally, mission statements provide you with a clear idea of the type of audience you wish to target and how you aim to serve them. While all good mission statements do this, they can be changed every few years so you can adapt to the fitness industry. 

Why do businesses need a mission statement? 
There’s a lot of benefits to gyms having a mission statement which are:

Increases employee engagement
Did you know that 67% of employees are more likely to be engaged at work when they strongly agree with their company’s mission statement? Mission statements allow your employees from the front of house staff, cleaners, personal trainers, class instructors, and more to have the same mindset and work together to achieve your gym’s goal.

Mission statements encourage your employees to be responsible for their duties, feel more engaged, and connect to the company culture to feel like they can play a personal part in achieving your goal. If many employees feel this way, workplace productivity increases, and the collective effort from employees allows them to feel more motivated in the workplace.

Critics call to end three-month celibacy requirement for gay, bisexual men amid blood shortage

 Critics call to end three-month celibacy requirement for gay, bisexual men amid blood shortage Amid a national blood shortage, LGBTQ advocates and more than two dozen members of Congress are calling on the Food and Drug Administration to further ease donor restrictions on sexually active gay and bisexual men. To be eligible to donate blood in the United States, men who have sex with men must abstain from same-sex sexual activity for 90 days. The limitations have long been criticized as discriminatory by advocates and seen by many in the medical community as unnecessarily obstructive to the nation’s crucial blood supply. The chorus of criticism intensified this week after the Red Cross declared on Tuesday that the recent surge in Covid-19 cases had fueled the “worst blood shortage in more than a decade.” “This is a crisis of the FDA’s own making,” said Jay Franzone, an LGBTQ advocate who remained abstinent for a year to donate blood in January 2017, abiding by former and more stringent

A virus, a party and a lockdown: Why Boris Johnson’s luck may have just run out

 A virus, a party and a lockdown: Why Boris Johnson’s luck may have just run out LONDON — Could this actually be it for Boris Johnson? The prime minister faced the fight of his career Thursday after his qualified apology for flouting Covid regulations imposed by his government failed to quiet whispers about a mutiny within his own Conservative Party. On Wednesday, Johnson told a packed House of Commons that he was sorry for attending the May 20, 2020, party at No. 10 Downing St., but that he “believed implicitly that this was a work event.” This statement prompted laughter and jeers in the chamber. Johnson had finally admitted to attending the “bring your own booze” party with dozens of staff members in the garden of his residence and office. The event was held during a strict government lockdown that meant Britons were only allowed to meet one other person from outside their household, while schools, pubs and nonessential shops were closed. “The prime minister’s position has become or

Track how full ICUs are with Covid patients across the U.S.

 Maps: Track how full ICUs are with Covid patients across the U.S. In Maryland, Covid patients are now filling 42 percent of the state’s adult intensive care unit beds, the highest rate in the nation. In Connecticut, 32 percent of adult ICU beds are filled with Covid patients, more than double the rate four weeks ago. These are just two states where the share of Covid patients in ICUs are growing, and ICUs report that more than 80 percent of their beds are in use, a pandemic record. As of Wednesday, the share of ICU beds given to adult patients with Covid had increased in three-fourths of the country, as more people require aid in highly stressed critical care facilities, according to an NBC News analysis of data from the Department of Health and Human Services. Hospital ICU stress, a measure designed to help hospitals plan and manage their surge capacity, was a concept introduced by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
