Gym’s Aim & How did the App Deliver!

The Gym aimed at improving the personal training services offered by them, which is the main revenue generator for the business compared to general members.

Easy 24/7 Access

The clients had access to his personal trainer only during gym hours. But with the gym member app for the clients and the trainer app for the trainers, let the client virtually connect to their trainer at their convenient time, 24*7.

Scheduled Informative Diet Plans

One of the major reasons for the failure of any fitness goals (muscle gain or fat loss) is the lack of schedule plan and monitoring. With the gym fitness app, the trainer now sets the diet plan for the clients and the clients enter their daily food intake into the application (breakfast, lunch, dinner etc..) The application which is preloaded with millions of food databases calculates the macros (carbs, protein, fat) and total calories consumed by each particular. This helps the trainer get information about the client’s eating habits and he gets to know if the client is over-eating, under-eating or sticking to the plan. The data also helps the trainer to make decisions on changing the diet plan, if he thinks the results are not desired. This holistic approach of training, a diet with a monitored program leads to successful and desired results thus overall enhancing the client experience and the result oriented service which the gym provides.

Exercise Plan

The exercise routine and plan for the season is entered into the app by the trainer for each client, which helps the clients to know their schedules prior to coming to the gym and they can also follow their daily exercise routine by just following the app.

Marketing Tool

The fitness app serves the gym management as a marketing tool to engage more with the customers, gain more audience or get more people to download the app and sell its personal training service

Solid Virtual Tool

The app helps provide virtual personal training service to non-members or to the members even during the time of uncertainty like a pandemic. The gym is currently providing workout from home service very effectively during the lockdown which helps in business continuity.

The application has helped the gym to gain more followers during the pandemic as more people have been choosing to get in good shape and trying to work out from the comfort of their homes. This has been a great advantage to the gym and its personal training services and has helped the gym immensely to increase revenue even during a hard time. The easily accessible, attractive and effortlessly workable design and features of the application made it a success because the most important element was the convenience the app provided to the clients
