Marketing program to motivate exercise class participation

Using qualitative research methods, a targeted social marketing program, including a 'marketing toolkit,' was developed to motivate participation in exercise classes by older adult members of churches. The Health Belief and Transtheoretical Models formed the theoretical basis for the social marketing planning process and guided program design. The marketing program aimed to increase exercise class attractiveness, usability, and uptake by reducing barriers and costs, and using messaging about benefits and enhanced convenience to motivate participation. The intervention was implemented through churches.
