Not only does it take away the stress of managing bookings and payments at the front desk, but gym management software also makes it so much more convenient for your members, ultimately giving them a better experience with your gym or studio.
When your members have a great experience, it not only helps you to turn first timers into regulars, but it encourages them to spread the good word to friends and family, helping you expand your business’s reach beyond locals.
You now have the opportunity to give members more control over their fitness regime with a seamless online and mobile extension of your business for booking and payments. With confidence that an integrated gym and studio management software is securely taking care of your information and automating processes to make your life easier, what’s not to love? The list of benefits is endless…
Your members and potential members have 24 hour access, 7 days a week to your class schedule, membership details, courses and products, resulting in more bookings per week
- You can anticipate attendances and class demand. If pre class bookings are low you can hit members up with a special offer through in-app notifications or email
- No shows are immediately reduced as the class payment is made in advance
Let’s take a look at the key features Glofox gym management software provides that really drive your bookings through the roof:
1. Schedule Integration & Online Booking Through Your Website
Glofox is gym management software that integrates seamlessly with your current website, creating a branded ‘Website Portal’ for new customers and members to easily view your live schedule and purchase classes, courses or memberships directly on your website.
If you make changes to your timetable or membership options in your Dashboard, your website portal will automatically update to reflect these changes, saving you time in your busy day.
If you don’t have a website or if it is currently under development, no problem! With Glofox, you have the option to host a schedule and payment integration with your Facebook page by adding a ‘Book Now’ button beside the ‘like’ button on your gym or studio’s page. If you wish to take advantage of your website and Facebook page to drive bookings through online and mobile channels, you can do both!
