Genesis Health Clubs has been in business for decades, has a reputation for quality and the ability to meet administrative requirements to manage participant registration and customer support expectations. They provide a robust health and fitness curriculum taught by a qualified instructor weekly in an on-line format and club access to support the goals from beginning levels to athlete fitness levels.

UNMCE remains open to potential partnerships with providers who meet our quality standards, have the administrative structure in place necessary to meet the needs of our participants and track participation and offer a robust, scheduled educational component with a qualified instructor throughout the course of the program.

Describe the due diligence made to locate other possible sources including communications with other universities, communications with similar providers, web searches, yellow page searches, review of advertisements and trade publications, etc.

We looked for brand names with positive reviews and local recognition. We conducted an extensive review of organizations through internet searches and independent review sites such as Yelp. We vetted local health and fitness providers and approached several to offer a program. UNMCE sought to find a reliable, reputable local partner who would price competitively for students, and as UNMCE is a self-funded organization, be amenable to sharing revenue from such a course.

We looked at many health and fitness providers and approached several companies to determine if they offered a health and fitness program that met UNMCE needs. One of the main requirements is to partner with a health and fitness provider who had the resources to provide a qualified instructor and to offer a weekly online class. We also wanted a provider who offered fitness opportunities through online format or other means throughout the shutdowns, recognizing the possibility of future closures and the value of ongoing service to students.

UNMCE is open to partnership with providers who meet UNMCE’s quality standards, have the scheduled educational component of a weekly class and the administrative structure in place necessary to manage and report participation.

List the other vendors who were contacted. Please describe the specs/qualifications/criteria that the other vendors were unable to satisfy.

UNMCE would be open to a discussion and partnership with vendors able to meet our criteria of having an administrative structure in place necessary to meet the needs of our participants, track participation, offer a robust, scheduled educational component with a qualified instructor throughout the course of the program, and be open to a revenue share which is vital to UNMCE being able to sustain non-credit programming.
