case study: Gymbox: how Orbit4’s technology is generating significant savings and streamlining operations
Get intimate with your assets
Orbit4’s technology is generating significant savings and streamlining operations for premium operator Gymbox.
An exciting partnership between fit-tech specialist Orbit4 and Gymbox, has created impressive results in the form of streamlined operations and substantial savings. It’s also been optimising and simplifying the legal due diligence process.
CEO of Gymbox, Marc Diaper, said: “Before using Orbit4 we believed we made good financial decisions. Now we know that using data should be part of the process when considering a refurbishment.
“Orbit4 technology is simple and highly effective and because managing operations and the sustainability of our business is paramount to our continued success, we take its functionality very seriously.”
Optimising assets
“We now have full visibility of our assets, what they’re currently worth and whether we’ve overspent on servicing costs,” says Diaper. “In addition, we can utilise Orbit4 data to have a meaningful conversation with our suppliers so we’re getting the best possible service standards. This is essential to maximising our customer experience and operational excellence.”
Early in 2022, the Orbit4 team ‘asset-registered’ the entire Gymbox estate, onboarding every machine and piece of equipment into its system to record the manufacturer brand, make and Orbit4’s technology is generating significant savings and streamlining operations for premium operator Gymbox Get intimate with your assets model, as well as uploading serial numbers, photos, service contract status and valuations.
The inclusion of the Orbit4 STM module (service ticket manager) instantly connects Gymbox to service providers digitally through a mobile app and online platform, meaning repairs and fixes are completed efficiently, and Gymbox can review real-time data versus agreed SLAs (service level agreements).
Marc Diaper said: “The team at Orbit4 have been superb to work with. The asset management, service ticketing solution and purchasing ecosystem is a game-changer for us and the industry.
“The connected ecosystem gives us access to the wider market for trade-outs and purchasing tailored service contracts and equipment. We were able to maximise the return on our old equipment recently and got a higher buy-back price than the predicted figure we saw in our Orbit4 Control Panel dashboard".

case study: BH Live: Transforming fitness asset management
Rob Cunningham, director of leisure at BH Live, explains
the positive impact Orbit4 is having on the organisation.
What challenges were you facing before partnering with Orbit4?
The fitness equipment across our estate was a mix of ages and sourced from a variety of manufacturers, while some of the warranties were expiring. We were experiencing long lead times for equipment parts, resulting in equipment being out of order for extended periods of time. In addition, we didn’t have accurate information about the value of our assets or our likely maintenance costs going forward.
What were the key drivers for engaging Orbit4?
We wanted to get a clearer picture of these values and costs, so we could make smarter, evidence-based investment decisions. Furthermore, we wanted to improve our maintenance schedule so fewer pieces of equipment were out of action at any one time. How was the onboarding process?
Following a tender process, managed by Orbit4 on our behalf to assess the market for service providers, we appointed our preferred provider under a new contract and SLA. Orbit4 onboarded the assets in our sites onto its digital platform quickly and efficiently and the new service provider started servicing equipment immediately. Our service provide has been great to deal with, easily contactable and with efficient responsetimes when contacted by our operational team using the Orbit4 mobile app.
The rapid onboarding and collaborative working enabled BH Live to see the value of working with Orbit4 in less than three months from the initial meeting.
What impact you have experienced?
Our net promotor score has vastly improved across several of our sites and our membership attrition has significantly reduced since our partnership with Orbit4, due to the improved service we’re able to offer our customers.
Only a handful of equipment is ever out of order across the estate and repairs rarely take longer than 72 hours to complete.
What difference has Orbit4 made day-to-day?
The ability to remotely look at equipment value, check the condition of equipment and manage our assets enables BH Live to make informed decisions about investment.
The Orbit4 platform also allows us to monitor all relevant KPIs relating to our assets on a day-to-day basis and to ensure we’re delivering a better customer experience.
Would you say to other operators who are considering Orbit4?
The impact Orbit4 has had on our organisation has been fantastic, as making evidence-based decisions in regards to your gym floor assets is key to improving your customer experience.
It’s also been great to work with the platform and the team to streamline our asset management processes.
What’s the most important benefit?
The servicing element of the contract has been a remarkable success – the immediate impact of this on our customer feedback and attrition rates has shown the powerful benefits of not having equipment out of order for lengthy periods of time.
