Fitness Programs Best Practices Review

PURPOSE

The City of Surrey offers many fitness programs at 25 locations and includes: bootcamp, step, TRX, yoga, spin, Aquafit and many more.

This best practices review is intended to provide recommendation for our drop-in and registered fitness programs for the City of Surrey based on the continuing growth of our community and the changes taking place within the fitness industry.  A comprehensive review of the current state of our fitness programs, fitness instructor satisfaction, and customer experience is required. Consideration should be given to the fact that traditional fitness programs and instructors are becoming more difficult to replace and as new fitness trends take over.  Our customer needs are becoming more complex as many people still enjoy the traditional programs while others like a more modern approach to fitness.  Technology is playing a bigger role in fitness than ever before and people continue to be more pressed for time. The Consultant is expect to come up with a recruitment, retention and succession plan for our instructors.
