Let's Go Fitness

Brand DNA, internal alignment and brand activations for the leading network of fitness clubs in French-speaking Switzerland.

Context

Let's Go Fitness brings together more than two thousand coaches across dozens of clubs, in daily contact with their members. In that model, the brand is not won through campaigns. It is won in the room, several times a week.

When the group came to DARE, each club operated on its own instincts, its own tone, its own idea of what the brand stood for. Growth had moved faster than alignment.

Case study

At Let's Go Fitness, the brand is not on the posters. It is in front of the member, five times a week.

01
Analysis and positioning

Every brand is judged on three levels, and we cross-reference them systematically: what it shows, what it actually is internally, and what its market values. The gap between those three readings is the diagnosis. We document it through an audit of existing materials, immersion sessions with leadership and then with the teams, and a benchmark that compares postures rather than aesthetics. The output is not a report but a reference framework: positioning, audiences, promise, tone.

At Let's Go Fitness, the gap was not with the market but inside the company. Two thousand coaches, and almost as many interpretations of what the brand promised.

02
Employer brand

An employer brand cannot be written from head office. Nobody applies what they had no hand in writing. We build it in workshops, with leadership and then with the teams on the ground, until we reach wording that employees repeat of their own accord. Vision, mission, values, promise: every statement is tested against a single criterion, can a coach say it to a member without feeling they are reciting a script.

At Let's Go Fitness, several workshops brought leadership and coaches around the same table. The brand DNA that came out of them never had to be imposed.

03
Brand activations

Written values change nothing as long as they remain a document. We bring them to life through activations: moments, formats and content designed to make each value tangible, first for the teams, then for the members. The test is simple, every activation has to trace back to a specific value. Otherwise it is communication, not brand.

At Let's Go Fitness, the activations focused on the network's signature classes and on internal milestones, so that the values were visible where coaches and members actually meet.

Impact
Two thousand coaches, one message
The promise no longer depends on the club or on the person delivering it. It is the same everywhere.
A brand DNA written by the people who apply it
The values were not presented to the teams. They were built with them.
Values made visible
The activations gave the brand DNA a concrete form, in the signature classes as much as in the network's internal moments.
