How long have you been into podcasts?

I’ve been a huge fan of podcasts since 2014, when I listened to the first episode of Scroobius Pip’s Distraction Pieces. I typically listen to music while working or on the train or a plane, but podcasts accompany me on long drives, runs, and in the gym. I love listening to conversations, learning about new things, but for me, it’s mainly about being entertained.

Gym membership pricing and coffee comparisons

As we approach September, the second busiest month for fitness memberships in the UK, thoughts turn to membership sales, strategies, and price models. 

It’s clear that lots of leisure pricing is stuck in the past. Whether we’re talking about joining fees, memberships, or selling the monthly payment as “less than a cup of coffee per visit”, revolution is needed in many organisations.
