台灣健身產業的發展在近年來可說是處於谷底的低迷狀態；然而為何運動健身俱樂部產業，會在短短不到10年的時間，從最高峰跌至最谷底，不免會引起眾人的好奇。在前人的研究中，雖有探討國內健身俱樂部發展趨於平緩甚或倒閉的原因，以及健身俱樂部如何以差異化策略尋找產業的藍色海洋的研究，但都未將市民運動中心納入研究比較的對象。因此本研究希望將市民運動中心納入研究比較之對象，以彌補前人研究之不足。 個案公司YOUNGBEAUTY氧妍動能館是一家私營健身俱樂部，成立於2008年3月，自成立以來，就是業界普遍認為創新及差異化的代表。在面對亞力山大無預警的歇業、金融海嘯的衝擊、以及台北市十家市民運動中心的競爭等險惡的谷底環境下，卻能逆勢成長，憑藉著僅僅兩百萬的資本額，以及正確的經營模式和定位策略，迅速在業界打響品牌及口碑。 本研究選擇產業中具有優異表現及特殊性的企業，以個案的方式對其競爭及定位策略進行深入分析與研究。本研究透過深入的訪談與分析，探討在惡劣的經濟環境下，以及競爭激烈的健身休閒產業中，個案公司能異軍突起的原因，也希望經由全面而深入的分析，找出個案公司成功的經營及定位策略，並針對未來快速變遷的環境下，擬定適當的策略以提供新進經營者參考。 本研究所得到之研究結論，個案公司成功的關鍵因素為： 一、成本控管成功 二、創新的繳費方式 三、良好優異的人員素質及服務 四、善用集中化與差異化策略 五、成功的定位策略 本研究對於產業現有經營者及想踏入健身俱樂部產業之經營者在管理及定位策略實務上有以下建議： 一、多元的繳費方式 二、以團體課程為主軸，避免複合式經營，與市民運動中心做區隔 三、提升人員服務品質，強化與市民運動中心之差異 四、以女性為主要市場 五、減少場地租金成本、強調地利之便 六、控管業務人員薪水，降低人事成本 The fitness industry in Taiwan has come to a halt in recent years.It rouses the speculation that it merely took less than 10 years for the said industry to fall from a peak status to the depression.
