A business strategy game that allows
       teams to take over running a leisure club
          and try to make more profitable.

The Gym
A Northgate  Training Game

This business simulation game helps participants learn about running a business.

Teams run a leisure club for a simulated three year period to see who manages it best. Will teams really appreciate what's needed to turn the business round - and reverse the current trend of members leaving in droves!

Running the business strategy game
Teams receive details of a slightly run-down leisure centre. While it still has a reasonable membership, it is falling and there have been no new facilities in recent years - and current management is weak. Something needs to be done – and quickly.

Teams decide on a business strategy and complete a Decision Form each period on key variables (membership fees, marketing spend, staff numbers and pay) and can add new facilities such as tennis or squash courts, a spa or crèche.

Financial reports are printed for each team every period – plus customer feedback and staff problems. Running a successful business is never easy!

Strategy is a skill not a formula. Now is the time to make a good business strategy one of your skills.
