New Passport Program for 30-Minute Club Members

As more and more independently owned 30-minute fitness centers open, their members are seeking ways to maintain their exercise routine when they travel or move away. The Hydraulic-Only Passport Program (HOPP) is the answer.

(PRWEB) August 23, 2004 -- Independently owned 30-minute clubs for women and men that utilize hydraulic equipment face a daunting task of differentiating themselves from the franchise competition such as curves, ladies workout express and slender lady, to name a few. On the other hand, some independently owned clubs may need to assimilate by offering similar benefits that the competing franchises offer.

As the saying goes, "there is strength in numbers" and for franchises this translates in offering more benefits to their members than an independent club could offer on its own. One of the most requested member benefit that franchises offer is the ability to use other clubs within the franchise where ever the member travels. How is the independent owner to compete with that without the risk of losing members to non-hydraulic clubs or their direct competitors?

Join the HOPP. HOPP stands for Hydraulic-Only Passport Program. This is a new passport program that was started for the benefit of allowing independently owned hydraulic clubs for women and men to offer a free reciprocal travel program to their respective members without the fear of losing current members to neighboring competitors. Participating club members use a HOPP club within the US and Canada free for up to a week when they show their current club's identification card. Travelling members simply locate a club in the area they are travelling by searching on the 30minuteclubs.com website. The program also serves as a conduit referral system when club members are moving away from their home clubs. Club owners serve as the handshake between their member and a club owner in the town where that member is moving. This ensures the member will receive a similar quality service and familiarity in equipment.
