Giving your clients an unforgettable experience is the goal of many gym owners these days. And this rings true for personal training services too! To make an impact on your member’s day-to-day lives you have to be innovative, listen to their needs, and bring a sense of personalization to their programming because at the end of the day we all have different goals.

One incredible story comes from our client Alloy Fitness Franchise, whose straightforward philosophy plays on this very ideation: “People who get personalized coaching get better results.” At Alloy, they help their clients feel and look their best by providing a tailored customized service that is unique to them.

To scale their fitness franchise, owner Rick Mayo was looking for a solution that could allow their trainers to train up to six clients at a time, but still, make the experience feel personalized.

They turned to ABC Trainerize to scale their personal training profit center! The choice to digitize their PT services allows them to reach even more members—plus, it’s giving their trainers a powerful tool which allows them to engage with their clients beyond the gym. “It’s a total win-win,” says Rick.

“As soon as we implemented the ABC Trainerize app within our clubs, it allowed all of our coaches to communicate with all of our clients and all of our other trainers, which means we were providing a consistent customer experience—which is very difficult to do at scale and at volume, but we have been able to do that, and ABC Trainerize has been a perfect tool for that.” – Alloy owner Rick Mayo

To date, Alloy Fitness Franchise has 52 franchises sold, with 10 currently operating and 20 more gyms to open by the end of 2022. Since Alloy is a franchise business, Rick mentions how the ABC Trainerize app provides a lot of ‘sizzle’ when entrepreneurs are considering the Alloy Franchise as a new business venture. He explains, that the ABC Trainerize app provides customer value to his members and that goes a long way when pitching to franchise prospects.

To be a leader in the fitness industry you have to stand out from the competition. Differentiating yourself is crucial if you want to be successful, adapting to current trends, and being innovative in a very crowded industry can be a difficult task.

We’ve seen a massive trend happening since the pandemic: Virtual Coaching and Online Training Options.

Multi-location gyms, clubs, and franchises had to incorporate online training and virtual coaching into the services they offered at their gyms. Adapting to this new stream of services couldn’t be an easy task for many.

However one incredible story comes from Wisconsin Athletic Club (WAC), the largest privately-owned gym in Wisconsin. We’re proud to play a part in their journey to adopt online training.

With the launch of their Virtual Live Training program (training via video) in the early months of the pandemic, and then announcing their online training program PIVOT (Personalized InteractiVe Online Training) in September, WAC is confidently and comprehensively leading their clients into the digital fitness space by leveraging the ABC Trainerize platform.

“Using ABC Trainerize allowed us to continue to train our clients safely. Many of them were reluctant to come into the gym during the pandemic,” says WAC Personal Trainer, Amanda Tikalsky. “Shifting to online training means they can stay connected to WAC and continue to work toward their goals.” Keeping members engaged and motivated is just the start.

With ABC Trainerize, WAC has been able to offer flexible options to members, regardless of public health requirements and personal comfort levels while giving their trainer’s a much better work-life balance.
