Prepare your center for 2021 with TIMP

2020 has come to an end… it’s about time!
And with the new year, fitness centers are always flooded with new clients eager to get back in shape after the excesses of Christmas.

That’s why – and so that you don’t get caught out – TIMP has some tips for your center to be prepared in advance, without losing sight of the fact that the legacy of 2020 makes it necessary to continue to be cautious with regard to security measures in the centers.

Let’s see how to prepare your business for the year ahead.

Nougat, chocolate, lots of food and less exercise in the last days of a difficult year for everyone.
Although this holiday season family gatherings have been fewer, the fact of eating in petit comité has not made us eat less, and that will be noticed in January in the gyms.

We all want to get back in shape after the Christmas vacations and fitness centers are the ideal place to do it.

If you don’t want a last-minute rush when managing your center, put these measures in place before you head into the month of January:

Will you offer the same services this year as last year?
Will you include new activities?

You must be very clear about this because it will directly affect the center’s schedules and the different sessions that will be taught in it, as well as the list of services that your users will see in the booking app.

Moreover, the sooner you update them, the greater the sense of planning your clients will perceive, something that will undoubtedly improve the image of your business, not to mention the fact that they will become familiar with them sooner, thus increasing their probability of success and permanence in your service portfolio.

The session calendar is the cornerstone of your center, so if you want the whole business to run smoothly, make it easy for both your staff and your clients and define as soon as possible your schedules, sessions and other elements of the weekly and monthly programming of the company .

The marketing strategies you put in place allow you to build customer loyalty and attract new users.
Therefore, it is very important that you plan your promotions in advance to ensure their maximum effectiveness when the time comes.

On the other hand, there are certain dates, such as eves and holidays, when schedules may vary slightly or even change drastically. Anticipate these dates and introduce these schedule changes in the center’s calendar with foresight .
Don’t let these changes catch your customers off guard!

They may seem obvious, but believe us: if you leave it to the last minute, you will find yourself in more than one predicament for not having foreseen all these points in advance.

Remember that if you have any doubts or do not know how to make any of these configurations from your control panel, the TIMP support team is at your disposal to help you through the panel chat and the web, and you also have the possibility of telephone training whenever you need it.

The arrival of the COVID-19 vaccines is a great relief for everyone, but it is very important not to let our guard down until herd immunity is achieved, something that will probably take months to arrive.

Therefore, all the planning we have discussed must be done taking into account the current measures of safe capacity, hygiene and seat reservation.

In this sense, the TIMP booking app continues to be a fundamental tool in the task of maintaining a safe capacity in the centers, so we encourage you to promote its use among your customers.

For our part, it only remains for us to wish you a good start to the new year and to remind you once again that we are here to help you in the day-to-day running of your center.

Happy and prosperous 2021!
