Survey Results Preview
The results of the Customer Satisfaction Survey will provide
Patrick Mourar, 9Round owner, with helpful data and
information pertaining to the following subjects: Comment by
Fletcher, Taryn: Good!
· Member information. The average customers’ age and gender
can be used to develop a target market.
· Member location. To measure the convenience of the gym’s
location, customers were asked their typical commute time to
9Round.
· Gym Expansion. Asking the members where they would like to
see a new 9Round location be built and the area in which they
live supplies Patrick with potential secondary location
recommendations. Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: Unnecessary
word
· Gym Environment. Survey participants were asked to rate
9Round in seven different categories: cleanliness, music
selection, music volume, hours of operations, friendliness of
staff, quality of workout equipment, and class instruction.
Analyzing these ratings will give Patrick helpful feedback on
which categories need improvement. Comment by Fletcher,
9. Taryn: Need a number in front of each category Comment by
Fletcher, Taryn: The category Comment by Fletcher, Taryn:
regarding
· Trainers. Members were asked if the 9Round trainers added
value to their workout, and if not, how the trainers could better
support them.
· Member Frequency. Members were asked how frequently they
visit 9Round and at what time of the day.The results will be
used to evaluate the hours of operations and customer retention.
Survey Results Analysis
The 9Round group distributed a QR Code and Survey Monkey
link to 9Round members. The results were reviewed and
analyzed to help improve customer satisfaction. We received 31
completed surveys and compiled the results into the graphs
presented in Section II (findings). Comment by Fletcher,
Taryn: captialize
Gender
When completing the survey, respondents were asked to select
their gender. They could select male, female, and prefer not to
answer. Using gender differences, 9Round will be able to better
understand their current member base and those whom they may
not be reaching through advertisement. The results for this
10. question can be found in Figure 1. Comment by Fletcher,
Taryn: Principles of Agreement 1-14 Comment by Fletcher,
Taryn: 9Round gender results can be found in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: Figures must have
captions—even if it is the same as your graph title.
The respondents who took the survey were 16 percent male and
84 percent female. According to the Census Bureau, Females
make up 51.1 percent of the population in Spokane Valley (U.S.
Census Bureau 2016). 9Round’s target market in Spokane
Valley should be Females. Comment by Fletcher, Taryn:
Five survey respondents, or 16 percent, indicated they were
male. The remaining survey respondents—84 percent—indicated
they were female. Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: Unless you
are quoting, or have more than one citation in a paragraph,
citations belong at the end of the paragraph. Comment by
Fletcher, Taryn: Neither Conclusions nor recommendations
belong in the findings.
11. Age
The survey asked customers to select their age. The age ranges
they could select were, ages 18-20, 21-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59,
and 60 or older. Respondents 17 or younger were asked to stop
and to return the survey; these surveys were not counted.
Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: Surveys do not talk
Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: Why?
The average age group helps 9Round cater its atmosphere, price
range, advertisement, and workouts to its members.
The typical 9Round customer is between the ages of 40 and 49;
however, kickboxing can be suited to all ages. Research shows
individuals age 20 to 64 make up the largest gym-going
demographic (”Industry Performance”), which encompasses all
of our survey respondents. According to the article, “A
Knockout Fitness Routine”, today, boxing programs are
fulfilling the exercise needs of a demographic group that
previously displayed little interest in physical activity or in the
sport. As boxing increases in popularity, 9Round can continue
reaching out to a diverse group of members. Age results can be
found in Figure 2. Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: Your job was
to tabulate all the data, create graphs, write out in written form
what the reader should interpret when looking at the graph, and
then compare the results to relevant industry research using the
7 C's. Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: Citation does not look
correct Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: 2-54
Figure 2:
12. Customer Location
To assess the convenience of 9Round’s location, respondents
were asked the area in which they live. Their options were,
Downtown Spokane, South Hill, North Spokane, Liberty Lake,
Spokane Valley, and other.
The results will help 9Round determine whether or not their
location is satisfying its customers and can be used for future
decisions such as potential expansion locations.
The survey results conclude that 74 percent of respondents live
in the Spokane Valley area. According to the U.S. Census,
Spokane Valley has a population of 96,340 people (U.S. Census
Bureau 2016). Twenty-three percent of respondents live in
Liberty Lake, which has a population of 9,209 people (U.S.
Census Bureau 2016). Three percent answered other. Given the
heavily populated surrounding cities, 9Round’s location is
beneficial for advertisement and member recruitment. The
results involving customer location can be viewed in Figure 3.
Figure 3:
13. Expansion
Respondents were asked, if 9Round were to expand, where a
potential secondary location should be built. The members’
options were Downtown Spokane, South Hill, North Spokane,
Liberty Lake, and other. The results are displayed in Figure 4.
The most popular location is Liberty Lake. Ten respondents
chose Liberty Lake, eight respondents chose North Spokane, six
selected Downtown Spokane, five picked other, and two chose
South Hill.
This information is beneficial for 9Round management to plan
for future growth. Research shows that “over the five years to
2022, many baby boomers are expected to sign up for health
club memberships, as they grow more health conscious due to
their age. Consequently, industry revenue is forecast to grow at
an annualized rate of 1.5% to $32.8 billion in the five-year
period (“Industry Performance”).” This potential growth shows
promise for success for a new 9Round gym location.
Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: Used “for” to times.
Figure 4:
Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: Good graph!
14. Environment
Participants were asked to rate seven of the 9Round daily
operations on a scale of one to five, with five being Excellent
and one being horrible. The daily operation survey choices were
cleanliness, music selection, music volume, hours of operations,
friendliness of staff, quality of workout equipment, and class
instruction. Table 1 displays the results.
The ratings will provide 9Round with feedback to use in
determining which operations need improvement in order to
reach the highest level of customer satisfaction. 9Round
received only eight ratings that were “neutral”, “bad”, or
“horrible”. The remaining 209 ratings for operations were
“excellent” or “good”. Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: 2-54
This table shows that music selection and volume may need to
be adjusted to increase customer satisfaction. Comment by
Fletcher, Taryn: Neither Conclusions nor recommendations
belong in the findings.

Trainers
The 9Round trainers are available at all hours of gym operation.
The trainers help 9Round members with instruction, form,
modification, and motivation. It is important to the 9Round
ownership that their trainers are benefitting their members;
therefore, the survey asked members if the trainers add value to
their workouts. The results for this question are in Comment by
Fletcher, Taryn: 1-14
Figure 5.
17. Out of 31 respondents, 30 said that the 9Round trainers are
adding value to their workout, and one said that the trainers are
not adding value. A good trainer is analytical, friendly,
experienced, creative, and understanding (Schwarzbaum 2010).
Ninety-seven percent of participants agree that 9Round trainers
add value and are beneficial to their workout. Comment by
Fletcher, Taryn: Conclusions do not belong in findings.
Figure 5:
Customer Frequency
The survey asked members how frequent they visit 9Round and
at what time of day. Members were given the options: once a
week, less than weekly, twice a week, more than three times per
week, and three times a week.
The results will give 9Round owner an understanding of how
often their customers are working out at the gym and if the
times available are convenient for their members. The results
18. are displayed in Figure 6. Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: 1-
14
13 respondents said they visit three times per week, 12 said they
visit more than three times per week, three answered twice a
week, two answered less than weekly, and one person said they
visit once a week. The average number of times a gym
membership owner will attend the gym is twice a week (Statistic
Brain 2016). Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: 4-1 Comment by
Fletcher, Taryn: They did not talk
The average 9Round members are visiting more than twice a
week, so the results prove favorable for 9Round management.
Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: Conclusions do not belong in
findings.
Figure 6:
III: Conclusions and Recommendations
Conclusions
Based on the examination of your customer service survey
results and secondary sources, our group has drawn several
conclusions. Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: Report should be
19. third person—including the conclusion.
Eighty-three percent of the members surveyed were female,
with an average age between 40 and 49 years old. According to
the Census Bureau, females make up 51.1 percent of the
population in Spokane Valley (U.S. Census Bureau 2016). The
customer service survey results show that, while women are
active 9Round members, the number of male members is low in
relation to the available market. These results reveal a potential
target market for new male customers. Comment by Fletcher,
Taryn: 7 C’s and a run-on sentence
Spokane Valley proved to be the residence of the majority (74
percent) of the 9round survey respondents. The second most
popular location of residency is Liberty Lake, where 23 percent
of the respondents reside. This shows that the current 9Round
location is beneficial for the majority of 9Round’s current
members. The results also show that 9Round expansion would
be most desired and successful in Liberty Lake. This is reflected
in the survey; 10 out of 31 respondents suggested that Liberty
Lake be the potential location for expansion.
Respondents were also asked about the environment and the
trainers at 9Round. The majority, 97 percent, of respondents
answered that, “yes,” the trainers do add value to my workout.”
This shows that 9Round trainers are successful in supporting the
members during their workout.
The members were also asked to rate 9Round operations
including cleanliness, music, hours of operation, friendliness of
staff, quality of workout equipment, and class instruction on a
scale of five to one (excellent to horrible). Of the ratings, 209
out of 217 total ratings were positive. The 209 positive ratings
show that, overall, 9Round members think that the gym’s
operations are “excellent” or “good”. This information shows
that 9Round members are satisfied with the gym’s operations.
20. Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: 2-54
Thirteen out of thirty-one of the survey respondent’s frequent
9Round three times per week, and twelve out of thirty-one of
the survey respondents return more than three times per week.
In total, 25 out of the 31 responds frequent the gym three or
more times per week. Knowing how frequently 9Round
members tend to visit the gym assists 9Round management in
determining their rate of customer retention. Overall, survey
respondents were highly pleased with the addition of 9Round to
the Spokane Valley and look forward to many more years of
operation. Comment by Fletcher, Taryn: 4-1 Comment by
