Guo Licheng felt a little awkward.
Normally, fitness trainers could not use equipment during working hours.
That was because in most gyms, fitness trainers' main job was to teach students and sell lessons. Maintaining their own bodies was relatively less important.
Guo Licheng had asked the trainers to try the equipment because there were no customers today. Boss Pei had bumped into him.
"Boss Pei, I was the one who asked them to try the equipment. I'll call them back and get ready to work …"
Guo Licheng turned around, wanting to call all the trainers over.
Pei Qian quickly stopped him. "What are you talking about?! Isn't it natural for trainers to work out? "
Guo Licheng was stunned. "Huh?"
Pei Qian said seriously, "As a fitness trainer, I have to manage my own body first. How can I teach others if I can't even do it well?
"What's more, these equipment are idle. Of course, I have to make use of them.
"Let me emphasize that all trainers can use these equipment during working hours as long as they complete their duties.
"You're the branch manager. You have to set an example! Your body must be the best among all trainers! "
Guo Licheng could not help but feel warm. "Alright, Boss Pei!
"Then … can I use these equipment during non-working hours?"
Pei Qian glanced at him. "You can use these equipment during non-working hours, but you cannot come to the gym because overtime is strictly prohibited."
Guo Licheng, "…"
Although his words sounded a little absurd, Guo Licheng still felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
In the past, the gym did not treat trainers as humans. Many internal groups would compare with each other's performance. How many training sessions one day and how many training sessions the next? Every month, trainers would have to make military pledges. Those who could not achieve results would even have to shave their heads.
The gym did not care about the fitness trainers' body management.
Most trainers could only train for one or two hours late at night, when the gym was closed. How could they have the energy to train with such heavy marketing tasks?
However, Boss Pei was completely different. He did not care about performance at all. Instead, he placed great importance on the fitness trainers' body management and health!
It was a blessing to have such an open-minded boss!
Pei Qian looked at the trainers who were training seriously and thought to himself. Asking Guo Licheng to train his body to the best level among all trainers would definitely consume a lot of his energy, right?
That way, he would not have the time and mood to manage the gym and attract new customers.
The plan worked!
Soon, the coaches arrived one after another. After greeting Pei Qian, they began to eat.
Pei Qian looked at today's fitness meal.
The gym meal was delivered in a transparent lunch box from Fish-Catching Take-Out. There was a small lump of brown rice, two pieces of cooked purple potatoes, chicken breasts, shrimp, salmon, boiled eggs, avocado, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, and so on.
Less oil, less salt, more filling.
Apart from that, there were also some fruits and cooked corn for the meal.
Fitness meals were about eating less but eating more often. Adding an appropriate amount of extra food in the morning and afternoon, even if it was just a glass of milk, an apple, or a corn, could increase one's satiety, increase one's basic metabolism, and reduce one's lunch and dinner intake. It was very helpful for fat loss.
As Guo Licheng ate the fitness meal, he reported his evaluation of the fitness meal to Boss Pei.
"The ingredients are very fresh, and the quantity is not bad. They can provide enough nutrition."
Pei Qian carefully observed Guo Licheng and the other coaches' expressions. He did not find anything out of the ordinary. There was no 'light up in front of their eyes or background music playing' situation.
This meant that the fitness meals were not delicious!
At the very least, they did not taste any better than the other fitness meals.
However, just in case, Pei Qian still asked, "How does the fitness meal taste?"
Guo Licheng pondered for a moment. "It's about the same as normal fitness meals. It's a fitness meal; it definitely won't taste that good. It'll be fine as long as the quantity is sufficient. "
Pei Qian was relieved.
As long as the fitness meals had no advantage over the fitness meals outside other than price and quantity, there would not be any threat.
That was because this version of the fitness meal had been prepared by Fish-Catching Take-Out's chef. It only satisfied the requirement of reducing calories while providing the necessary nutrients. It did not improve the taste.
Obviously, the coaches had eaten too many similar fitness meals. The advantages of this set of fitness meals for them were 'free' and 'large quantity'.
Most people would not be happy if customers were forced to pay for it themselves.
Soon, lunch was over.
The coaches kept the cutlery and waited for the delivery man to collect it. Guo Licheng brought Pei Qian to look around the gym.
According to Pei Qian's request, the gym purchased a batch of wristbands with serial numbers on them. Members would receive a wristband from the front desk when they arrived at the gym. They would then find the corresponding locker according to the wristband's serial number. They would be able to use it after swiping the wristband to unlock it.
When they left, the staff at the front desk would retrieve the wristband, record the data on it, and input it into the computer.
That way, the members' exercise data could be recorded.
Of course, at the moment, they could only use the stupid method of manually entering it into the system. Guo Licheng considered creating an application to solve this problem in the future. However, they did not have members yet. There did not seem to be much need to do this.
Pei Qian looked at the changing room, shower room, toilet, and other supporting facilities. He was quite satisfied.
In particular, every shower room was equipped with high-end shampoo and shower gel, just like in a high-end hotel. They were stored in a soap dispenser, and Pei Qian could not tell the price at all.
Pei Qian felt that it was good to increase the cost in such a place that outsiders could not see.
After walking one round, Pei Qian was very satisfied.
"Not bad. Keep it up. I'll make a move first."
Pei Qian was just about to leave when he stopped.
That was because he realized that a couple had pushed the door open and entered after looking around!
There were guests!
Pei Qian looked at Guo Licheng and said, "Go and receive them. I'll sit here for a while."
This place was originally a high-end gym near the school. Its location was not very good, but it was definitely not bad either. Although the previous members of the gym had already transferred, it was normal for new people to want to join.
Pei Qian decided to stay and see how the two of them responded to the gym's pricing. It would not be too late to leave!
Guo Licheng was just about to receive them when he saw Yaling walk up to them first. Then, she shot Guo Licheng a look.
Guo Licheng tacitly understood and retreated.
Obviously, he had to win over the girl first if he wanted to win over the couple.
Boys would definitely not want male coaches to teach their girlfriends. That meant that Yaling, as a female coach, had a natural advantage in this aspect.
In addition, although she was muscular, she looked sweet and charming to a certain extent. She was definitely more suitable than Guo Licheng, who was not good with words.
When Pei Qian saw this, he could not help but frown.
"What's her name?"
Guo Licheng immediately answered, "Her name is Li Yaling. She's a very impressive female coach. In the previous gym, we didn't even have to actively promote our classes. The die-hard members were already fully booked. Since we are more familiar with each other in private, I poached her to join us. "
Pei Qian, "?"
You didn't have to actively promote your classes, and the die-hard members were already fully booked?
Who asked you to attract such an unstable factor?!
What's more, Yaling even took the initiative to welcome new customers. That could not be allowed!
It would be fine if I did not get this customer, but if she did …
Hmph, I can only think of a way to promote you.
Pei Qian remained silent. He casually took a banana from the side and ate it as he observed silently.
Yaling brought the couple around the gym and then found a seat in the resting area to sit down for a chat.
After about ten minutes, the couple left.
Yaling looked for Guo Licheng helplessly.
"You didn't succeed?" Guo Licheng asked.
Yaling shook her head. "I didn't succeed."
Pei Qian secretly rejoiced, but his expression did not change as he asked, "What happened?"
Yaling was a little helpless. "Boss Pei, the first two were quite good. I introduced our gym's equipment, coaching qualifications, and supporting facilities to them. Both of them were obviously tempted.
"However, the guy's expression changed immediately when I mentioned the price. Obviously, he had applied for a membership in other gyms before and felt that our gym was too expensive.
"However, the girl felt that the environment here was good, and we charge per session. It was more friendly to a newbie like her.
"At first, the guy was considering accommodating the girl, but I told him about our gym's special requirements. Both of them could not accept it …
"That was because the cost of the gym itself made them feel that it was expensive. Coupled with the mandatory fitness meals, it had completely exceeded their budget.
"So … they left. They must have gone to look at other gyms nearby."
Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief.
What was this called?
More daunting than dangerous, or was it a victory?
Indeed, the strategy that he had set to dissuade customers had worked. Even Coach Yaling had not been able to keep these two customers!
However, although the start was good, Pei Qian still remembered to be steady.
He cleared his throat. "It's alright, it's just two customers. Our gym's prospects are good. It doesn't matter if there are more or less customers.
"As long as you wait patiently, customers will definitely come!
"That's right, Coach Guo, remember to customize a sign with our gym's prices and requirements written on it. Put it directly at the entrance so that people don't keep coming in to ask questions and disturb your training.
"For those who cannot accept these conditions, just use the sign to dissuade them.
"Instead of answering these people's questions, it's better to train your bodies. Your bodies are the best brand advertisement for Deposit Fitness!"
Yaling was a little confused. "Huh?"
Was he afraid that he would have too many customers by putting the price and conditions outside?
It was one thing not to distribute flyers, but he was even doing such negative publicity. What was Boss Pei thinking?
Pei Qian stood up. "Alright, I'll leave first. Hurry up and get the signage done. "
Guo Licheng quickly said, "Alright, don't worry, Boss Pei."
From the looks of it, Guo Licheng was still very obedient. Li Yaling seemed a little threatening, but as long as Guo Licheng was still the branch manager and strictly followed Boss Pei's instructions, there would be no problem.
Pei Qian walked out of the gym in a good mood.
However, he also discovered a problem, and that was that he was already a little overwhelmed.
He had too many businesses now, and many department heads did not say a word during planning. They only came to Boss Pei to report the good news when they succeeded. It was really difficult.
Pei Qian increasingly felt that he had to start planting his own spies in each department and strengthen his control over the entire company.
Otherwise, it would be harder and harder to incur losses in the future. It would be useless even if he became a firefighter.
Tengda's Embroidered Uniform Guards had to be quickly arranged!
