- • Corporate accounts generate 2-3x higher revenue per member than retail
- • Average corporate contract value: ₹3-₹15 lakhs per year
The 5-Step Corporate Partnership Framework
Follow this framework to build a profitable corporate wellness practice.
Design Your Corporate Offering
Create 2-3 structured corporate packages that companies can choose from:
Basic Gym Access
Discounted monthly memberships for employees. Company subsidizes 50-100%. Simple and easy to sell.
On-Site Sessions
Trainers go to the office for group classes, yoga, or desk stretches. 1-2 sessions per week.
Full Wellness Program
Gym access + on-site sessions + health assessments + nutrition counseling. Premium package.
Price Your Corporate Packages
Corporate pricing should be lower than retail per-member pricing, but guaranteed volume makes up for the discount.
Pricing Benchmarks:
- • Gym access per employee: ₹500-₹1,000/month
- • On-site session (per session): ₹1,500-₹3,000
- • Full program per employee: ₹1,500-₹3,000/month
- • Minimum engagement: 20-30 employees to start
Sample Contract: ₹6L/year
- • 50 employees × ₹800/month × 12 months = ₹4,80,000
- • 2 on-site sessions/week × ₹2,000 × 48 weeks = ₹1,92,000
- • Annual health assessment: ₹15,000
- Total: ₹6,87,000/year
Identify and Approach Target Companies
Target companies that already have wellness initiatives or HR teams focused on employee engagement:
- • IT companies and tech startups (most progressive wellness policies)
- • BPOs and call centers (high stress, high turnover — wellness helps retention)
- • Banks and financial services (high-pressure industry)
- • Manufacturing companies (physical fitness needs for factory workers)
- • Co-working spaces (multiple companies under one roof)
💡 Pro Tip: Start with companies whose employees already live or work near your gym location. Proximity is a major selling point.
Build Your Sales Pitch
HR decision-makers care about ROI. Build your pitch around these metrics:
The Business Case:
- • Every ₹1 spent on wellness saves ₹3-₹6 in healthcare costs
- • Wellness programs reduce absenteeism by 25-30%
