BSBTWK503 Task 2 – Bounce Fitness Case Study

Task 2 – Case Study

Bounce Fitness Background Information 

Bounce Fitness is made up of four fitness centres. The head office is currently established in Cairns, Queensland. The other centres are in Brisbane, (Queensland), Sydney, (New South Wales) and Melbourne, (Victoria). It is the intention of the Board of Directors that a new centre will be opened in Perth, (Western Australia).

It was established in 2001 by Margaret House as a single aerobic studio. After two years membership increases demanded the small leased centre be expanded and a new facility was built on land purchased by the organisation. In 2004 a second centre was established in leased premises in Brisbane and then Sydney and Melbourne in the subsequent two years.

The Head Office remains in Cairns and a Board of Directors has been established to oversee the function of the business in all of the centres. Each centre has a Manager, who reports to the CEO in Cairns, and a team of permanently employed fitness instructors and other casual instructors, all of whom report to the Centre Manager.

The business is operated on best business practice and complies with all legislative requirements, local by-laws and is registered with the national body.

Bounce Fitness intends to market its brand through excellence in service and expertise to establish itself as a premier provider of fitness and wellness in Australia. Much time is invested in training the Centre staff to upgrade their professional skills and in customer service to foster a loyal member base. Classes are innovative and varied with regular changes to routines and activities.

 

Scenario

You are Jacinta Scotts, the manager of the Sydney Bounce Fitness centre. You are concerned that membership at your centre is at an all-time low due to COVID-19. Sydney have had extended lockdowns, and people are unwilling to pay for memberships that they cannot use. Your customers are concerned, even when lockdowns are not in place, that gyms were thought to be a breeding ground for COVID-19 and therefore patrons are reluctant to go back to the gym. You are under pressure to increase revenue.
