Process

How to introduce member coaching

Once set up, you coach members with templates instead of individual work. The process in six steps:

1

App in your gym's branding

Your gym's or club's logo, colors and name appear in the app. For your members, it's your app.

App in your own branding
2

Structure your members

In the dashboard you organize members with segments by package, goal or class group. That way you keep the overview even with many members.

Practical tips

What matters in member coaching

Templates instead of individual work

With good templates for the most common goals, you coach many members without building every plan from scratch.

Use segments

Sort members into segments by package or goal. That way you assign templates, messages and push notifications to whole groups.

Make results visible

Progress in the app is the best argument against cancellations. Celebrate it, in the gym and in the app.

Combine

Combine member coaching with other concepts

Gyms and clubs like to combine the member app with challenges for campaigns or with 1:1 coaching as a premium offer. These concepts fit well:
