First Marketplace "Where Gyms Bid on You" Launches GymBids.com, Quickly Connects Consumers with Their Ideal Gym
People seeking a fitness membership now have a new resource at GymBids.com. The site allows gyms and facilities to proactively seek new members by submitting bids to them directly with trial and special offers.
Chicago, IL, January 17, 2008 --(PR.com)-- With the official launch last month of GymBids.com, gyms are now the ones to work out for potential members.
By providing a value-driven marketplace, GymBids.com allows consumers to get competitive bids from gyms offering free trial memberships, special deals and information to help them decide which gym best suits their fitness needs.
“It’s like Lending Tree, but for gym memberships,” said GymBids.com founder Sasha Patel. “By introducing the bidding concept to the health and fitness industry we are determined to improve the way consumers and gyms find each other.”
Sasha and his brother Nirav, CEO of GymBids.com, know that being the first ones to bring this concept to market has had its advantages. Many gyms in Chicago including major regional and national chains, were quick to recognize the value of a common-ground platform in which they can tell consumers why they are the best choice for membership and provide special deals and offers to prove it.
“Our gym and health club partners have been enjoying our service because they gain new members that may have never considered joining that facility otherwise,” added Nirav. “The overwhelmingly positive response from both consumers and gyms has been very inspiring.”
GymBids launched first in Chicago and consumers have been taking full advantage of its free service. Consumers register by filling out a quick two-minute profile and within 48 hours they receive competitive bids from gyms to help them quickly compare their options.
Sasha developed GymBids to create a marketplace which he hoped would make the process of finding a gym membership easier while putting some power back into the consumer’s hands. He noted the simple ways that technology could streamline the process for consumers and gyms alike.
“My gym search was frustrating because it involved a personal visit to each gym in order to get comparative information about Chicago fitness options,” continued Sasha. “GymBids.com was created out of this frustration – to make the process more efficient and to easily connect consumers and gyms with each other.”
