After Tet, many people went to the gym with the desire to improve their health and get back in shape after the long holiday.
During Tet, people often have the mentality of resting, so their exercise is interrupted, while they have taken in many types of food, which can easily lead to weight gain. Therefore, after Tet, many people tend to go to the gym with the desire to regain their shape and improve their health.
High demand
From 5pm every day, classes such as GYM, Yoga, and modern dance at Eternity Fitness and Yoga Center Hai Duong (Ngo Quyen Street, Hai Duong City) attract a large number of members to practice. This is considered the peak time for gyms.
According to Mr. Le Viet Duc, the gym owner, his gym system welcomes about 200 - 300 students to practice different subjects at different times each day. After the Tet holiday, most students choose exercises to help lose weight such as cardio, exercise with equipment, abdominal exercises... Many members arrange their time to practice 2 sessions/day with the desire to soon return to the right weight and body shape. Every day, the center also receives a number of customers coming to consult, consult and register for trial sessions.
"After Tet, especially when the weather is warmer, the number of people registering to practice also increases, sometimes up to 50% of the number of students registering to practice. With a diverse system of machines, regularly equipped with new machines, spacious gyms, and professional trainers, our gym can still meet the needs of students," added Mr. Le Viet Duc.
Although it is a fairly new sport, Lux Pilates gym on Hai Hung street, Ecorivers urban area (Hai Duong city) also attracts many people to practice, especially after Tet holiday.
On average, the gym welcomes hundreds of students each month for individual and group Pilates classes (Pilates is a type of physical and mental exercise developed in the early 20th century by German physical trainer Joseph Pilates, who gave it its name). After Tet, the demand for exercise tends to increase as people want to get back in shape and balance their health.
At Lux Pilates, the number of new students registering has increased by about 20-30% compared to before Tet, especially for classes focusing on improving posture and toning the body. Lux Pilates is open from 6am to 9pm every day, with many flexible time slots to suit students' schedules.
Classes include 1-on-1 instructor or small group (1 instructor with 4 students) and intensive classes according to individual needs. "Most students come to Lux Pilates with the desire to improve their figure, strengthen their health, reduce body aches and pains and improve posture. In particular, many clients come to Pilates to relieve stress, balance emotions and maintain body flexibility," said head instructor Nguyen Tuyet Mai (Ivy Nguyen).
Many promotions attract practitioners
The time after Tet is often the time when gyms offer many promotions to attract students. Eternity Fitness and Yoga Center is offering a 60% discount on membership cards for those who register, giving away 3 months of free membership, and participating in the lucky money drawing program at the beginning of the year. In addition, students are free to use the sauna, shower room, parking, etc. With these incentives, each month students only have to spend about 300,000 - 400,000 VND to invest in their health.
In addition, many gyms also launch promotional packages and incentives for customers, such as students getting 2 free 1-1 sessions with a trainer, reduced tuition for new and returning members, incentives for customers buying 1-year packages... Many gyms also continuously run advertisements on social networking sites about attractive promotions after Tet to attract students.
"After the Tet holiday, I want to go back to the gym to exercise. I ate too much during Tet, so I gained weight, so I am even more determined to go to the gym again to lose weight and become healthier. During this time, many gyms have promotional packages, so I can freely choose suitable exercise packages," said Ms. Pham Phuong Mai on Pham Ngoc Khanh Street, Hai Tan Ward (Hai Duong City).
Nowadays, gyms in Hai Duong are increasingly investing in modern equipment, offering many subjects, and professional service quality, attracting many customers, contributing to promoting the sports movement of the people.
