The use of technology has continued to expand among many gyms
Activities like scheduling classes and keeping calendars are moving out of the office and into online registration systems. And online registration has moved beyond the use of a desktop computer and is now being used by parents on their Smartphones. This capability gives you the opportunity to bring your parents closer to the services that you provide and give them access to class schedules and sign-ups.The reality is that websites are not looked at unless there is a reason to go there. An unscheduled event or a notice that class fees are due can be posted, but unless a client goes there, this information goes unnoticed. And even when people are using websites, seventy percent (70%) of that traffic is happening through mobile devices.
We’re happy to be working with Jackrabbit to help customers put the power of mobile apps to work for their gyms. We’re gaining valuable experience integrating Jackrabbit into our app features. We provide Smartphone Access to Jackrabbit’s customer portal that allow parents to:
- View available classes and events
- Enroll students with a few clicks
- Pay their bill
- Manage auto-pay
- Manage student information
- View student skills, absences, etc.
Using your mobile app, parents have immediate access to control their information at your gym and can even more quickly and easily take time-consuming tasks out of your staff’s hands. Technology allows you to lower office overhead and to place your staff where they want to be, in the gym.
