			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of our greatest themes in Members4ever is &#8220;Success thru Involvement&#8221;.  </p>
<p>Involved members STAY!</p>
<p>Your club needs to become more than a place to exercise. Can you create a social center?  Can you become a place that makes and encourages friendships? </p>
<p>The fact is that if your members have friends at your club, both types of friendship, they won&#8217;t leave. They need to be engaged with your staff and other members. </p>
<p>How does this happen? Simple enough, we need to engage them in activities and programs.</p>
<p>Can you create running groups, boot camps, fitness 101, weightloss seminars, free guest Fridays, and on and on. </p>
<p>You need to have a system in place that helps you to invite your members and for them to join in and even better to bring friends to the activities that you designed and installed in your club.  </p>
<p>If you can be willing to try new things and invite members to try them, you WILL be rewarded with referrals and a club that grows every month.  </p>
<p>In good health,</p>
<p>Tom  </p>
