    Under the original system, both owners and employees are familiar with the current status and can work comfortably as usual. The service quality would stay the same and the original customers are also familiar with the company’s service and pricing system and could remain loyal to the company. Moreover, the current costing system and pricing system are consistent with the market niche strategy. Although there is a decrease in profitability, the company is still profitable and there is no risk of losing profits or customers since there are no changes.…

    "LA Fitness grew out of three clubs, each owned by one of the founders. In 1990 Fred Turock, Jeremy Taylor and David Turner decided to get together to jointly manage these clubs, with the aim of building up a network of gyms with first class facilities. In 1996 they created the LA Fitness brand and the following year they joined the top ten health and fitness club operators, catering to a wide variety of people of all shapes and sizes and with a huge range of goals. In 1999 the growth and success of the LA Fitness group led to a listing on the London Stock Exchange. In 2005 the team decided they needed more control - they wanted to make sure LA Fitness could continue to provide affordable membership and a fun environment for its growing band of members. LA Fitness now has more than 88 clubs and over a quarter of a million members all over the United Kingdom" (LA Fitness, 2007).…

    “Business has been revolutionized by technology and the club industry has followed.” (Rudd, 2009) When using the Porter’s Five Forces Model, one can conclude from the analysis that the threat of substitute products or services is high. In regards to other fitness facilities, they may offer more classes at more efficient times for customers who work throughout the day and expect to get a workout in before heading home. The technology implemented will have a positive effect on the fitness facility and yes it will affect our strategy for the likelihood of customers returning. The rivalry among existing competitors is neutral but has a high effect on customers becoming members to our facility. The fitness facilities that have more of an outstanding reputation because of advertisements and elaborate websites such as, Gold’s Gym or LA Fitness lead competition for customers joining their gym. Yes, this has an effect on our strategy, we will upgrade our website and provide more information for the customers to view. Buyer power is high and yes, will have a negative effect on our strategy. There are so many fitness facilities that want your business, but have offers that you would pay too much for.

    I believe that the fitness centre should be kept running as I feel there has been an increase in the energy and productivity of those in my department who regularly use it. The wellness program that I have started in my department to promote the usage of the centre also engages them in team building activities which has improved the productivity by 18 per cent and the level of absenteeism has reduced. There has also been significant reduction of medical costs of the regular users of the fitness centre. The concern about the centre is that it is too expensive to operate as the salaries of fitness centre staff and the maintenance of machines expenses is around $1,00,000 a year and the number of users of the centre do not justify the expenses. The records show that 35 per cent use the facility out of which only 10 per cent are frequent users. We have an option to chare gym fees, allocate time slots and day-wise restrictions for employees. Additionally, the company can use the facility for alternative…
