In this episode of the Club Solutions Magazine podcast, host Rachel Zabonick-Chonko spoke with Robert Brewster, the CEO of The Alaska Club.

Show Notes on New Year’s Trends and 2020 Lessons Learned with Robert Brewster

  • Frustration over the lack of importance of the fitness industry is real.
  • What the industry has to do a much better job at — hint: it has to do with communication and value.
  • 20-25% of people in a community might use a health club, meaning if it closes less people are impacted versus when the restaurant industry closes.
  • The bright spot for Brewster is about how they are going to improve their product.
  • One thing Brewster is always wary of in any largely impacting event is the mindset that things will never be the same again — but it’s problematic to be scared by that. He shares why.
  • Home exercise might not be as big as you think it is; there are several limits home exercise has that a brick and mortar gym doesn’t.
  • Digital exercise as a component of regular membership and using it to connect members to the club are two trends Brewster is seeing. But he doesn’t stop there.
  • Will outdoor fitness still exist at the same level in the future?
  • Why Brewster can’t stress enough to manage your cash right now.
  • Why you need to expand what you’re doing vs. doing something completely new.
  • Having this one thing has been extremely helpful to Brewster through this time, and he suggests peers in the industry do the same.
