Scenario for the New Year: “Sport is us! Scenario "sports New Year" Quests for New Year's corporate events - scenario
How we organized our first corporate fitness event. As organizers. May 7th, 2016
In general, we are a bit of a fitness club here. Small, modest, not pretentious. Once, HR of the friendly company Kalinka, being a client of our club and just a good person, asked us a question, like, can you get us something like that, otherwise we have the company’s birthday at stake and we kind of want to hang out. but as always I wouldn’t want to.
We agreed on a barter for meat (which, in fact) and today presented our colleagues with a fitness corporate event that we came up with without planning it.
In general, in the practice of modern Chelyabinsk business this is not particularly common. Let's remember what you associate with the word “Birthday” or “Corporate Party”, or, for example, “Builder’s Day” or “Metallurgist’s Day”. Yes Yes Yes. Table, bottle, presenter, dancing, and all that.
We don’t know how to make a table, we don’t know how to make a bottle, we don’t know how to make a presenter, and we don’t know how to make fitness entertainment.
Therefore, having received the task, having considered the number of participants and their preparation, as well as what they would do after the event (they would go home, swim or have lunch), we decided to hold mini crossfit games.
We developed a scenario of 6 stations, took equipment with us from the club and prepared a little.
In general, preparing for a fitness event is more difficult than holding it, because the event itself has an already prepared script, but how it was prepared is a big question.
To do this, we had to go to the site a couple of times, and before the start of the event, we had to synchronize the order of the music with the DJ.
The people gathered and looked in our direction with caution and even, at times, apprehension. I’m saying that fitness activities are not accepted as corporate entertainment in the Chelyabinsk business environment.
But, we started on time and at 11 am we carried out the formation of personnel and morning exercises, with which, in fact, everything begins in any physical education. Let me remind you that fitness is not a sport. This is general physical training.
After the exercise, a formation followed, as a result of which three teams were formed in random order and were tasked with choosing the captain and the most beautiful girl.
Actually, this is where the games began, which, in essence, are quite simple - teams move between stations, where instructors meet them, give them tasks, measure the time and escort the participants to the next stations. In our case, each team went through 5 easier stages and one more difficult one.
The last, final task was complex and involved running. passage through the maze and a pair exercise for girls to pump up their butt. All, of course, in jest and without fanaticism, but we were preparing for it.
Of course, everyone got it right and the jury started counting.
It turned out that the two teams were close to each other in terms of points and it was decided to hold an additional competition, fortunately, when there is a barbell and men, there are no problems)
Moreover. We must pay tribute to the management of the Kalinka company; in response to our proposal to the teams to choose a representative for participation, our colleagues suggested that the opposing team choose the representative, which was done.
In general, after the final competition, the jury went back to counting, and the most beautiful girls appeared in front of the participants, whom all this time our group program coordinator Masha Duchak taught to dance a cheerleading dance. Yes Yes Yes.
And again yes.
And you know, I was there as a co-host and instructor, and I saw how, under the spring sun, cautious faces were replaced first by smiles, then by laughter, and when everyone watched this dance, then by applause to the beat of the music and dancing.
We announced the winners and presented a prize from the company and from ourselves, just as from a fitness partner we gave the participants of one of the teams each a guest visit to our
Fizkult - hello, colleagues!
I haven’t pleased you with new notes for a long time, but today’s one, I hope, will be very useful, and, as they say, “on topic”!
We are often looking for how to differentiate ourselves from competitors, how to attract new and retain old clients, how to make our fitness club a very attractive and attractive place so that a person does not want to leave the club.
A very powerful and “long-lasting” means for this are special projects and programs of your club; participants in my recent webinar received technology and ideas for creating such projects "Be Different or Die!"
But preparing large projects is slow and resource-intensive (you need time and people)
Today I want to give you a very easy to implement idea, a kind of mini-project for the New Year holidays (I hope your club is not on vacation along with the whole country until January 10th?! :))
The idea is very simple: organize complete leisure time for your clients throughout the holidays. Let something interesting happen in your club every day!
(To be honest, I’m not that smart, I heard this idea at an online conference “Fitness season. Winter 2012-2013" in the speech of one of the speakers. Once again, my deepest bow to the organizer of the conference, Marina Knyazeva: when I come to the conference as a trainer, every time I “pull out” a bunch of useful “tricks” for implementation!)
All clubs (or almost all) have sales, some kind of “discount” promotions, Open Days, etc. This won’t surprise anyone...
One way or another, most events revolve around fitness. But besides fitness, our clients are interested in a lot of things in life: why not turn your club into a hangout of people with a variety of interests and for a variety of reasons?
Let something interesting and unusual happen in your club every day! And people should know about it!
This is what our New Year's Marathon of events looks like:
I hope you have already come up with your own ideas on how to make your fitness club a “magnet” for clients (and not only for them, but simply for everyone who is interested!). Or you can take our list of events as a sample and implement it in your own home, with minor adjustments to suit your capabilities, of course!
Yes, of course, all these events are FREE, both for clients and for “random visitors” - after all, this is an excellent reason for you to increase the incoming flow and drag people into your club who may not have heard of you before. (The only paid event for participants is a photo shoot, for which you attract professional photographers and makeup artists... but options are also possible here)
To make this work better, ASSUMELY remind clients that they can bring their friends and acquaintances to the club for these events!

I am sharing the report concert of the fitness club. Profile – oriental dances.
Scenario of the concert “In the world of sports and dance”.
Presenter. Hello, dear guests! We are pleased to welcome you to a concert dedicated to the world of sports and dance. Tonight is a little unusual: we will try to combine the beautiful with the useful.
What associations do a person have when he hears the word “sport”? Of course, first of all, grueling training, thanks to which, as people say, a healthy mind in a healthy body. Each of us adds our own unique meaning, determining for ourselves how we feel about sports.
Fitness club “Positive”, led by its constant muse and ideological inspirer Galina Arvakhi, claims that sport is also an art, and this, dear guests, you can see today by looking at the elements of the club’s fitness program.
What associations do a person have when he hears the phrase “dance art”? For some it’s beautiful movements, great music, for others it’s grace and bright costumes. Dance evokes a feeling of pleasure and brings joy. Every answer contains the word “beauty!” What does it mean to touch beauty? One famous Slovak poet and thinker said: “I picked a flower and it withered. I caught a moth and it died in my palm. And then I realized that you can only touch beauty with your heart.” Indeed, to capture beauty in the soul, to remember it, to always carry it in the heart - this, in my opinion, is the highest manifestation of human culture. Therefore, we also dedicate this evening to the beauty of dance - the most exciting, sublime and beautiful of all arts, since dance is not just a reflection of life, dance is life itself!
1. (Dance “Shawl”)
Presenter. An express survey was conducted among visitors to the Positive fitness club: “What attracts you to the fitness club?” It turns out that for some it is, first of all, a unique atmosphere, thanks to which they gain self-confidence and the opportunity to become psychologically liberated. Others are attracted by the energy of the instructors. After all, Arvakhi Galina, Kuptsova Natalya, Grishina Tatyana, Timoshenko Tatyana, Koziy Natalya, Kuprienko Anna are people who create a positive mood and form in every person the desire for new achievements! Instructors help you shape your figure, control your body and, of course, get a boost of energy.
For some, this is a wonderful (and sometimes the only) way to abstract themselves from everyday life and work problems.
In other words, many people come to the Positive fitness club to find harmony of soul and body.
But, probably, the fitness club considers its main achievement to be the “Positive” studio for the harmonious development of girls, which has been operating for the second year. Little ladies learn to listen and hear music, learn to work in a group, and learn to correctly carry out the instructor’s tasks. As a result, children develop correct posture, develop coordination of movements, flexibility and plasticity. From an early age, children are taught to move and take care of their health.
2. So, your attention is given to the performance of class 1-A with the composition “Arabian Tale”. We greet the girls with applause...
Presenter. Oriental dance is one of the most popular dance styles in recent years. Refined, sensual and bewitchingly beautiful, oriental dances have already won the hearts of millions of fans around the world.
It has long been known that oriental dancing not only develops the body, but also psychologically strengthens the personality.
With the help of dance, children express a variety of emotions: joy, surprise, sadness, tenderness...
Unique in technique, oriental dance, enchanting, alluring, personifies life itself, combining health, pleasure and beauty.
3. Meet the girls of grade 2-B with the composition “Flower Fairies”
Presenter. Just like dance, song expresses feelings and emotions. This is the unique story of the human soul.
The voice of this vocalist is familiar to every resident of the city of Nizhyn. For many years now, the magic of Avetis’s high notes has invariably dominated the public.
4. I invite Avetis Balayans to this stage.
Presenter. Tales of 1001 nights, the beautiful Scheherazade, Princess Budur... The mysterious East attracts and bewitches, and oriental dance will help you plunge into the world of exciting beauty.
5. Performed by grades 1-A and 2-A, the dance composition “Flowers of the East”
Presenter.
Oh, dance! You are my dream and aspiration!
There is nothing more beautiful in the world,
What a triumph of love and inspiration,
A delightful bouquet of ovation!
Foxtrot and tango, jive and tarantella,
The king of all dances is the good old waltz.
And music has an enchanting power
Carries you and circles you in a whirlwind of stars!
Here is a riot of colors, tender feelings of a moment,
The flickering of hands, the movement of hips, legs...
Oh, dance! You are a great creation
Exciting, divine delight!
6. For your attention – the dance composition “Wind of Hope”. Performed by students of grade 2-A.
Presenter. A thousand years have passed since the gypsy tribe left India and settled around the world. Gypsies can be found in every country on the globe. According to one legend, God loved these people so much for their fun and talent that he did not tie them to a piece of land, but gave them the whole world to live in.
Gypsy dance, passionate and bewitching, captivating, enchanting, attracts you: no one remains indifferent to it, no one is able to resist its boundless energy! It mixes and interweaves elements of different cultures. Gypsy peoples roamed around different countries, and in each of them they brought elements of the peoples in whose territory they lived into their everyday life and into their creativity. The amazing intensity and overflowing power of gypsy dances wins them fans in various parts of the world.
Gypsy art is a whole world that has its own history, its own language, its own characteristics.
In one dance you can see and understand the whole windy soul of the gypsies: if there is love, then from the bottom of the heart, if hatred, then until the last drop of blood, if grief, then until tears exhaust the soul.

This dance fascinates the viewer with its unusualness. On the one hand, there are low “male” drum beats, and on the other, female plasticity, tight-fitting dresses shimmering with gold and an elegant cane, which either smoothly outlines the lines of the dancer’s figure, or sparkles in rapid rotation, cutting through the air.
Soft, playful, light and cheerful dance will give an unforgettable experience...

Reading time 3 minutes
We became independent in sports without noticing it. Fitness studios of the new generation do not tie us to themselves, but allow us to create our own training schedule. The pay as you train format and automation of many processes have turned us into ideal time managers. LʼOfficiel decided to figure out how this happened and what to do about it.
Fitness has been the biggest health trend of the last twenty years. Regardless of the crisis and economic components, it shows stable growth around the world. But people want to be not only healthy, but also beautiful and successful.
What does success have to do with it, you ask? And at the same time: successful people are united by the fact that they all want to sell themselves at a higher price, and a beautiful “marketable” appearance helps in this. It doesn’t matter who you are: a girl, a boy, a businessman, a film actor, a socialite, everyone has the same motivation. A person who goes in for sports, in any case, wants to look better than his fellow tribesmen. To achieve this, people are ready to invest money in themselves, inject themselves, cut themselves (both in the good sense of the word), and play sports.
In the 2000s, many were obsessed with plastic surgery, but now it’s the turn of fitness mania. Has it ever happened to you at least once in your life that you bought a subscription for a year, but went five times and abandoned it? Almost every second person has such a story. People quickly got tired of the format “I bought an expensive membership for a year, went twice, got zero results, and live with a feeling of guilt.”
With the advent of fashion for conscious consumption, everyone began to count money and time. This has caused the fitness industry to change as well. For example, low-cost clubs began to appear.
The most striking and high-quality modern example is the Raketa network of fitness clubs. They are located in shopping centers in residential areas, provide a card for a month at a price of 2,000 rubles, but in terms of atmosphere and audience they look like local branches of Patricks.
In the evenings there are live DJ sets, all payments and bookings are made online from a smartphone, each client has his own personal bracelet, which records all visits and training sessions, at the same time serving as a key and payment card. The hall has specially selected lighting (for good photos on Instagram), various navigation with light and color.
“Our goal,” says the founder of Raketa clubs Tikhon Kosykh, “is that even the most socially phobic who comes to our club can easily start playing sports, and not just walk between exercise machines. Our trainers aim to conduct the lesson not in such a way that you won’t be able to cope without it next time, but on the contrary, to show that everything is very simple. Your job as a beginner is not to overwhelm yourself. First of all, you need to develop the habit of going to the gym. This doesn't mean there shouldn't be breaks.
We all do interval training in Russia, as they say. First the month is New Year, then everyone actively goes to the gym for a month, then Maslenitsa with pancakes, then Lent. We either drink or exercise: Russian culture! There is nothing wrong. It’s just right to have quick access to a fitness club for little money.”
In parallel with low-cost airlines, another branch of the industry began to develop - the so-called boutique studios of one direction: yoga, martial arts, cycling, where clients of both low-cost and premium clubs began to go. The main reason for their popularity: you choose what day and time to show up for training. Throw the form in the car - and stop by on the road when you have a free hour, even during a break between business meetings (as top managers do, exchanging lunch for cycling training at Velobeat in Moscow City).
The pay as you train system (you pay for one lesson and go to study) allows you to immediately understand where your money went and instantly see the results. You are essentially paying for semi-personal training. This saves time, money, and quickly achieves results.
Boutique studios also differ from ordinary ones in that they have a special atmosphere. Many clubs use lighting, just like in a nightclub. And you come to study as if to a party. The changing rooms have everything from hair ties to eye wash, micellar water, shampoo, conditioner and good quality body wash. As a rule, the studio has a small cafe with healthy snacks, smoothies and decent coffee.
Another reason for the popularity of boutique studios is the search for variety. “Statistics and our experience show that thirty percent of those who work out in fitness clubs go to private studios,” says founder and CEO of Five Concept Fitness Irina Kutyina, “and of those who already work out in one studio, fifty percent visit some other one.
Thus, you decide for yourself: today you have yoga, tomorrow - dancing, on Sunday - Pilates. Therefore, when developing the Five Concept Fitness concept, we came to the “several studios in one” format.
We have selected and collected in one place the most popular areas: cycling, high-intensity interval training HIIT, which is now experiencing a boom all over the world, body&soul direction, martial arts and group classes, from dance classes to yoga.
And when organizing the club, we took into account the interests of modern young people: that everything should be online, modern design, super trainers, a fashionable and accessible place (we are located at the Arma plant), within walking distance, with the ability to park, where it’s easy to get to with friends and get a wow effect from the workout.”
By the way, for many fans of electronic music, such fitness studios replace night parties. A three-day rave marathon is good when you’re twenty, but when you’re thirty you want to continue partying with a healthy lifestyle. At night - sleep, recover, during the day - get endorphins from an energetic workout, music and the sight of like-minded people around.
Go to any of the modern boutique studios: at the second or third training session you will definitely meet one of your colleagues, acquaintances, popular insta-girls or public people. In Pilates PMP - Polina Gagarina, in the cycling studio Rock The Cycle - Yulia Peresild, in Soul Rebel - gloss editors. Although the main stars here will be you yourself. The approach to all visitors is the same, whether you are studying in a group or one-on-one: they know you by name, recognize you by sight, and you are always welcome.
Make yourself feel like a star: bookmark studio websites, check their schedule regularly - and you will always have at hand the answer to the question of what fun and useful things to do with your free time.
Where to go and what to do? We present a list of proven modern fitness studios
After the success of the first cycling studio in Moscow City, Velobeat founder Asya Shpilman opened a second one in the Italian Quarter residential complex to the delight of everyone who lives and works in the center of Moscow.
There are 33 Stages brand exercise bikes in the hall, cleanliness and an unlimited supply of snow-white towels in the locker rooms, L’Occitane bath products in the showers, and a cafe with food and water at the entrance. But the most important thing about Velobeat is the charge of frantic energy and positivity that you get from dance music and the smiles of the trainers. One-time training - 800 rubles.
For a monthly subscription starting from 2,000 rubles, you get unlimited access to all clubs in the network (for now there are two, but more are planned), where there is modern equipment, rental of lockers to store your uniform, paid and free group training.
All additional services are for an additional fee, and the wallet will be a special bracelet (also known as an entry key and a key for the locker), which you will receive when signing the contract. One minor inconvenience: you need to take a towel with you or you can buy it on the spot from a machine. Well, the price justifies the means.
