In the United States, there are more than 100 million over the age of 50. They also account for 70% of disposable income spending.

In addition to having higher amounts of disposable income, this demographic has the time to spend on fitness, which is very important for them. These reasons explain why they make great long-term fitness clients.

However, as Jay puts it in this episode, fitness facilities don't know how to or don't even want to market to this demographic. This is very intriguing and something every fitness entrepreneur should think about.

Here at Alloy, we have known this for a long time, and this was further confirmed by our market research for our franchise. We realized that this is an underserved market.

People over 50 are the largest growth opportunity for a fitness business and will remain so for the foreseeable future. But how and why to market to the 50 plus crowd is the million-dollar question.

Listen in as Rick and Jay give you some tactics to use and also what not to say!
