Constructive criticism
Article Abstract:
The operation of physical fitness centres can be enhanced by paying heed to customer complaints and responding constructively to them. Customers who complain should be considered a positive element as those who do not complain are more likely to refuse to use the facility again rather than return when their complaints have been acted upon. Health clubs should pre-empt possible causes of complaint via regular customer surveys which will identify common problems.

Quality control
Article Abstract:
Standards should be established before the operator of a health and fitness club can begin monitoring a quality service. Procedures should be laid out for queries and complaints; mail should be allocate response and recognition times, and telephone answering can be allocated a response time. Customer surveys and audits can provide helpful opinions on the service offered, and questions can rank services between 1-5.
