Why The Fitness Community Needs to Unite, Paul Bedford Pt 2 / DEKA

“You know, if you think, every member that you’ve got in the gym knows three people, they know at least three people, who they’re friends with, that don’t exercise. Be a friend, bring a friend. That would be my message,” says Dr. Paul Bedford.

Paul Bedford, the Retention Guru, is a fitness industry authority on retention, attrition and member experience. In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The fitness industry shouldn’t be waging war against others in the industry, rather, the industry should be waging war against inactivity

• There needs to be more collaboration in fitness
• The best technologies to keep you on track with your exercise, according to Dr. Bedford
• How to motivate others to get active using the power of friendship, existing connections, and instilling value. “Be a friend, bring a friend.”
