[responsive]\"Body<\/a>[\/responsive]W<\/span>\n when you think of fitness, you rarely think of a person messing around on a mobile device, but the trends are undeniable: mobile activity is increasing every day, and this includes those with gym memberships and personal trainers.\u00a0 For that reason, modern gyms and personal trainers are \u201cgoing mobile\u201d at a rapid pace, by publishing mobile-optimised websites and creating mobile apps of their own.\u00a0 These mobile solutions deliver an amazing amount of benefits to the gym, personal trainers and members and clients alike.
\nBelow, we explore a few of the biggest of these benefits.
\nInformation and Communication<\/strong>
\nMobile solutions are a great way to get critical information to members and personal training clients.\u00a0 The basics like hours and phone numbers are always useful, but there are practically no limits to what can be shared via mobile device.\u00a0 Your app can have tabs for membership plan details and pricing, class schedules, trainer information, proper forms for exercises, links to helpful resources like meal planners and calorie counters, and lots more.
\nIt provides members with an on-the-go reference that you can always keep current and comprehensive, and they\u2019ll love you for it.
\nAdvertising and Upselling<\/strong>
\nSome gyms and personal trainers offer a lot more than just a room full of machines or PT sessions, but getting members and clients to take advantage of everything your facility and personal training business has to offer can be tough.\u00a0 If you want to boost meetings with nutritionists, trainers, and spa personnel, and increase sales in your equipment and clothing shop, a mobile app is a huge help.
\nUsing push notifications, you can send users quick messages and links that they\u2019ll be notified of on their device\u2019s home screen.\u00a0 Your notifications can have special offers, free trials, coupons, or just remind people of what you have available.
\nThe result can be a major lift to revenue!
\nReview and Analysis<\/strong>
\nMobile apps offer the ability to track user activity, which can help a gym or personal training business\u00a0figure out what members are most interested in.\u00a0 For example, if the tab for classes goes completely unused, you\u2019ll know that it\u2019s time to experiment with different class types and times, or you might find out that your members and clients aren\u2019t interested in classes at all!\u00a0 Mobile solutions reveal a lot about your user base and members, but they can\u2019t do anything for you if you don\u2019t have one!
\nShopping and Reservations<\/strong>
\nYou can offer direct membership, supplement, clothing and equipment sales through your mobile app, and can also set up a system for reserving spots in classes easily.\u00a0 Opening up a channel that enables purchases almost always boosts profitability, for the simple reason that there\u2019s one less obstacle out there to purchasing.
\nThis also makes it easier for members to act on your offers.\u00a0 When they get a push notification about a couple\u2019s sign-up deal, for example, they\u2019ll be able to go right to the app and put through an order, if they wish.
\nConclusion<\/strong>
\nThese are just a few of the benefits of a gym and personal training business having a mobile app and website.\u00a0 The key is that these solutions provide a great way to connect with members, clients and prospects no matter where they are and are quite effective for increasing the profitability of your gym and\/or personal training business, using a variety of strategies.
