I wrote about CNergy Physical fitness about one as well as half year ago in my obsolete old blog. CNergy is not a fitness center, but a 1-year card program which enables the members to visit picked gyms in Klang Valley, Malaysia. These health clubs consist of Gold’s Health club, EITP Fitness Sports Photo, Fitness Network, Clark Hatch, Phillip Wain and others. Participants are likewise be entitled to some excellent discount rates from selected vendors consisting of Royal Sporting Residence, GNC, Pathlab, Sports Earth, Top Climbing Health club and hers.
Had the chance to speak to the creator, Yu Jin. Let’s find out exactly what he considers his company as well as why must the fitness center goers consider its card program.
Mun: Hi Yu Jin, first off, many thanks for accepting the interview. Why not you begin off by informing us why CNergy and also why not developing an additional gym?
Yu Jin: Sure. By having an advantage card instead of running a gym, I have the flexibility to connect up with any kind of gym that I desire to. Through CNergy, I do not have costly overheads of running my own fitness center, of which I can direct to subscription privileges.
As for gym goes, they will have more options and also obtain to experience different locations rather than staying with one place.
Mun: Great. The number of members do you have now and what is your target number by end of year 2007? Are you targeting a details group of customers?
Yu Jin: We currently have more than 1000 members. We want to enhance the numbers significantly by next year. We have managed to get several members without much advertising or promotions. The majority of them know us from word of mouth. We are planning for an understanding drive soon, beginning with the “Fit For Life” Weekend break which we will be running from 19 – 21st October 2007 in 1-Utama.
Our main target customers are gym virgins – those who wish to begin exercising yet do not know where to begin.
Mun: That readies. Which are the bigger gyms and also vendors you have partnered with?
Yu Jin: We have Clark Hatch, Gold’s Fitness center and also Phillip Wain which are globally understood brands. The remainder of them are great top quality, independently owned health clubs. Lots of actually choose the latter as their solution is generally better.
Mun: What remains in there for the gyms and also merchants? Just what do they get when CNergy member see the gym?
Yu Jin: We pay the health clubs ahead of time for use. The health clubs remain in a winning placement – they do not need to fork out any kind of marketing or advertising and marketing loan or effort. We do all those. The majority of the fitness centers we consolidate have excess ability, also during peak hrs. In addition, the added traffic makes increases their revenue via individual training, medspa, massage, supplements sales, etc.
Mun: I see. As the CNergy card charge is only RM720 whereas your companion gym is charging RM1,100 to RM1,500 for a yearly membership charge. Will certainly a customer after that purchase CNergy card and use it to see that particular gym regularly?
Yu Jin: What we do is that we get the “slow days” from each of these fitness centers. However, the slow days are all different, which is good for the CNergy participant. We have actually handled to find an equilibrium between the fitness centers and also us. Many of the individuals that join us are newbies which suggests that they would certainly otherwise not step right into our partner fitness centers at all.
Mun: I kept in mind that CNergy annual subscription was RM599 in March 2006. Currently, it has actually been raised 20% to be RM720. Will certainly you mind share with us the factor of doing so?
Yu Jin: We have considering that enhanced our benefits to consist of yoga exercise facilities, kickboxing courses and also sporting activities. There are likewise a lot more vendors where members could get discounts from along with occasions like health talks. The boost is really just RM10 each month, which is minimal.
Mun: Fair enough. At your internet site, under the Gym and Sellers section, I do not locate any details about the moment I can go to each health club. Could I think that with CNergy card, I could go to Clark Hatch Mont Kiara anytime, including utilizing the swimming pool during optimal hours?
Also, it is without a doubt good to understand CNergy has actually tied up with vendors like Royal Sporting Residence, Sports World, TNT Kickboxing, Sunway Lagoon as well as even GNC. Where could I get this information?
Yu Jin: It is really on the website under “Membership Opportunities”. We make it a factor to be extremely clear concerning the exercise times. Our professionals will always send out the membership advantages to participants prior to them authorizing up.
Mun: Once CNergy has several participants, I believe that you will have the ability to establish a small neighborhood for fitness enthusiasts. Exactly what is your strategy for your members?
Yu Jin: We intend to organize much more compared to what any single gym could do. We most definitely intend to have more member trip for activities like rock climbing, experience caving, paintball, futsal, bowling which are available via our sellers. We likewise intend to have a newsletter which will certainly upgrade participants on the most recent happenings.
Yu Jin himself is a normal gym goer.
Mun: Running a business is challenging. Once more, I salute your entrepreneurship. Do you do this alone? Do you intend to set up comparable card program in various other countries?
Yu Jin: It has been extremely challenging initially as many individuals do not understand the concept. They have actually come to recognize that we are a bona fide organization with an actual interest for health and fitness. Consumer contentment is our leading priority. I at first began the company alone yet I have managed to develop a tiny however strong group to sustain me.
As for growth plans, we intend to expand throughout Malaysia following year and possibly to Singapore and Thailand the year after.
Mun: Lastly, you will have a chance right here to promote CNergy card to my readers – why they should consider buying the card? Exactly how could they contact you if they have extra questions?
Yu Jin: Any person who desires to obtain fit would benefit from our membership. We offer outstanding worth for a very reduced charge. There simply isn’t really anything even more budget friendly than CNergy – also the put on down, neighborhood fitness center with rusty equipments! We will continuously improve and also provide the ideal to our members. Participants are exactly what makes the business. Lots of gyms forget that.

All viewers are invited to sign up with the “Suitable for Life” Weekend in 1-Utama from 19 – 21st October 2007. There will certainly be efficiencies by Jazzercise, yoga exercise professionals, kickboxers, wushu champs, break professional dancers, video games and also unique bargains for health acquisitions. Those present will certainly be treated with a complimentary body fat test and a lucky draw to win amazing rewards. There will additionally be an extremely special rate for CNergy Cards on that day.
CNergy is not truly completing go to head with huge health clubs. Instead, it complements them. As its punch line states, ‘The card you have to get fit,’ CNergy offers beginners a possibility to check out the fun of working out with much less in advance charges though it includes a concession of the moment slots it has with some of the health clubs. For me, CNergy will be more than a card program if its area idea works. It will bring its participants closer as a close knitted group.
The creator, Yu Jin, has strove difficult to supply the most effective for the members. Let’s want CNergy all the most effective and also I really hope that it will be doing well with its card program.
