high member motivation and loyalty
3a) social support
social support within the community is essential for long-term motivation.

3c) training success
recorded training data and evaluations support long-term motivation by clearly showing users’ progress.
references:
trost, s.g., et al. "correlates of adults' participation in physical activity." medicine & science in sports & exercise (2002).
periodization
periodized training programs double training efficiency by alternating methods every six sessions, providing users with effective, undulating stimulation.
general periodization structure:
preparation phase – prepares the user for the main training phase.
target phase – uses the most effective training goal method.
variation phase – varies parameters to enhance the primary goal and add new functions.
re-target phase – returns to the primary training method.

fleck, s.j. "periodized strength training: a critical review." journal of strength and conditioning research (1999).
muscle gain
prep: “robustness” (negative training)
moderate load with enhanced eccentric training.
adds strength and muscle micro-damage to prepare muscles for high-intensity phases.
target: “muscle gain” (adaptive training)
high loads to muscle failure.
creates metabolic stress and mechanical tension to stimulate growth.
variation: “maximum strength” (isokinetic training)
low reps with eccentric overload.
maximizes mechanical tension and muscle damage for growth.
re-target: “muscle gain” (adaptive training)
high loads to muscle failure.
maintains metabolic stress and tension to continue growth stimulation.
