- The government of Saudi Arabia lifted curfew across all regions of the country, except Makkah as of 26th April. While the order allows shopping centers to reopen, gyms, beauty clinics, salons, cinemas and restaurants will continue to be restricted from re-opening.
- In light of the Covid situation, Fitness Time, the leading fitness services brand in Saudi Arabia, has drafted a brief outline for reopening its clubs post the opening of the curfew. It aims to start a Marketing Campaign in June 2020, and hopes to target SAR 100 million subscription income.
- The Saudi government in March 2020, launched the “Your Home, Your Gym” campaign, encouraging citizens to workout at home and share their videos online. The initiative has been supported by the Ministry of Sports and the Saudi Arabian Olympics Committee.
Government Initiatives set to Drive Future Growth: The Saudi government is now playing an extensive part in developing the fitness levels of the citizens of the country. High obesity levels, high inactiveness levels and low participation rates in physical activities are problems prevalent across both men and women in Saudi Arabia. The licensing of female only gyms was a step in the right direction, towards improving fitness levels of women in the Kingdom. Regular health camps, releasing of online workout videos through partnership with fitness trainers and other initiatives towards enhancing the physical activity levels of Saudi Arabian citizens will act as a stimulus towards the growing adoption of fitness services in the Kingdom.
Fitness Services Diversification and Portfolio Expansion: There has been a stress towards developing additional and supplementary services, on the part of fitness service brands. The move has been a reaction to increasing demand for services such as Zumba classes, Pilates, Cross-fit, Kickboxing, MMA, Sauna, Salon and Spa among many others. Moreover, gyms are now offering their members the entire fitness service solution, by offering nutritional products such as dietary supplements and proteins, fitness apparel and fitness products. In this way, they are catering to the entire fitness journey of their members, from fitness activities, to diet to consultation. This trend would be in focus in the future, with fitness brands looking to focus more on enhancing member retention through enhanced customer satisfaction.
Emergence of Online Workouts: With the Covid situation restricting any face-to-face fitness activity during the curfew period in the Kingdom, many fitness brands have resorted to digital methods to keep their members fit and engaged. Fitness service brands have started to regularly post online workout videos accompanied by heath and diet tips, to assist their members to workout from the comfort of their home. Some fitness centres have also introduced paid online personal classes, which allow the customer to virtually simulate the workout routine, with the help of a personal trainer. The curfew period for gyms, may act as a blessing in disguise for gym centres, as with the help of technology, they are now able to target an even larger audience, which may enroll full-time at the gym, once the situation eases out.
