Making It Count

Why Health Clubs, Community Centers, Gyms & Communities Win with Plus 3

Your customized Community/Fitness Center Clubhouse is where people log activities–a walk, an aerobics class, a bike ride, yoga hour, snowboard session, even physical therapy – to earn leaderboard recognition, participate in challenges and cheer for other members, their family, friends and co-workers.

Plus 3 Network flexes to accommodate the varied interests of each member creating a personalized comfort zone that fuels increased participation. This in-turn spreads healthy living virally thru the network, benefiting your center while highlighting your corporate partners and benefactors.

Our Community and Fitness Center tools improve attendance and communications amongst membership, the general public and staff, and drive positive outcomes for your members, your bottom line and the local community.

Why Plus 3

• Fitness Centers seek meaningful ways to build communities and strengthen brand awareness.
• Consumers are demanding positive social impact from companies they buy from.
• Corporate philanthropy inspires the public to get out there and get active, instilling healthy, socially responsible living across all ages/cultures/economic realities.
• Social networking fosters peer accountability and recognition; raises self-esteem and esprit de corps; while spreading good news of real people putting in real effort to make the world better.
• Plus 3 is a unique melding of traditional Membership Programs and Community Relations.

It's all about Engagement

• Members engage in a personal mission supported by your staff and corporate partners.
• Team building at its finest via individual and community challenges/competitions/goals.
• Increase member motivation and interest via your commitment to help local non-profits.

Group Goals & Community Challenges

Plus 3 Challenges are a great way to encourage activity, increase membership participation in your club’s programs and services. Our staff can assist you in creating customized, fun short-term and long-term goals to inspire and engage the varied interests of your clubhouse mates and/or our global membership. And Plus 3’s monthly reports relieve you of the management hassle.

We offer three types of challenges:

1. Global Challenges—open for all Plus 3 members regardless of their Sponsor & Cause.
2. Clubhouse Challenges—open for just your Clubhouse Sponsored Members.
3. Regional Challenges—open to members in a particular area (State or City).

In general, there are four components to each challenge:

1. Activity you wish to track (let's say walking or volunteer hours).
2. Challenge duration (let's say 90 days).
3. Rewards milestone (let's say 30 walking activities entered).
4. Rewards eligibility (the first 20 members to hit the rewards milestone win XYZ).
