FIT Lane Cove
Going Digital
Digital Habitus has been working with FIT Lane Cove since 2019 with a single focus, showcase their world-class facility to a wider audience. Then COVID-19 hit our shores.
Built over two exciting floors, FIT Lane Cove is a destination rather than just a local gym. Over the last two years, FIT Lane Cove has opened four new studios, including the largest HIIT studio in North Sydney. The team behind FIT Lane Cove are passionate and motivated to help their members achieve their very best, every time they walk through the doors and with year-on-year growth they were set up to have one of the best years on record. That was until COVID-19 showed its ugly face.
Like many, we were instantly faced with a challenge that collectively we were able to overcome. We were tasked to make a physical destination into a digital one. Overnight FIT Lane Cove had to reposition its entire focus in response to this pandemic.
We initially took a close look at what was possible given the pending restrictions and limited understanding of what was about to happen around us. By looking at the data trends we pivoted the business model with a range of new digital assets including a new website, online membership portal, live recorded training sessions and more.
We shifted our messaging to educate existing members on the new features available from day one and launched a country-wide communication strategy promoting what was to be called FITLIFE - a digital experience for those seeking to live life fit.
As a result, FIT Lane Cove was able to keep a large portion of the existing members active and provide a platform that helped people overcome their challenges over the last year.

“Digital Habitus and VUE are a beautiful extension of our vision and brand, where they have dove-tailed uniquely and with great passion to create amazing content and flare that encompasses our vision to produce a world class health club with world class experiences.
In the past we have found it difficult to communicate our vision and ideas, however both Tom and Sam quickly understood our plan and provided us with perfect tools to connect to our existing member community as well as inspiring others to look at our brand and become part of the FIT journey.
Their professionalism and skill was shown when our business was heavily affected by the pandemic that has swept the world in 2020, turning our physical Club into a digital Club within days with high quality content both on demand and streaming enabling us to keep our relationship with our community even though they could not visit the Club for an extend period of time. This moment in time demonstrated the trust that Digital Habitus and VUE create for us and willingness to take the necessary steps to make sure every part of our creative and social content is of the highest of quality.
There is no shortage of enthusiasm and they continually challenge and help creatively to take our brand higher and higher....a credit to a team full of innovation, creativity and passion for not only their business but their clients as well.”
