With the pandemic hitting the fitness industry hard, there have been multiple times where gyms have been forced to close their physical locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a lot of gyms were fighting to stay in business, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefitnessguild.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Fitness Guild<\/a> was not one of them! With quick action, creative thinking, and expert tools from WellnessLiving, they went virtual, boosted their online memberships, and adapted to a new \u2018business as usual.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since opening in 2018, The Fitness Guild\u2014located in downtown Belleville, Ontario, Canada\u2014has built a loyal following of regular gym members. The boutique gym also offers personal training sessions, outdoor bootcamps, and group fitness classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When COVID-19 hit, The Fitness Guild pivoted to an online model, so they could keep the business afloat. In the middle of the pandemic, The Fitness Guild even saw a change of ownership with Rob Deline taking over business operations in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout all the changes, WellnessLiving has been right there, helping The Fitness Guild remain open, whether members visit in person or virtually. Rob says, \u201cAs soon as I could, I implemented the Zoom integration!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to learn more about The Fitness Guild and their going virtual experience with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/features\/zoom\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=click&amp;utm_campaign=ft-the-fitness-guild-case-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zoom integration<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-fitness-guild-s-experience-going-virtual-with-zoom\">The Fitness Guild\u2019s experience going virtual with Zoom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before COVID-19, The Fitness Guild and their eight coaches offered indoor bootcamps and combination group classes that included weightlifting, rowing, and cycling. As soon as they were forced to close, The Fitness Guild got busy turning their business into an online experience as they hosted up to three classes daily through the Zoom video conferencing platform. With the shift to a virtual gym, online classes included circuit training with weightlifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cZoom made the transition online so much easier,\u201d says Rob. \u201cWe were pretty much business as usual!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For The Fitness Guild, the transition was quick and seamless, and many of their members gladly converted to the virtual gym. The Fitness Guild started communicating through Facebook and created social media challenges like Ab Attack April and Cardio May to keep their audience interaction up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team also hustled to get corporate sponsorships, offering a promotion for 50 members for their virtual classes. Right from the start, they had more than 25 people in each online class!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-15981\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-8.png\" alt=\"the fitness guild, the fitness guild first image\" class=\"wp-image-15981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-8.png 630w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-8-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-8-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-8-320x213.png 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Before COVID-19, The Fitness Guild and their eight coaches offered indoor bootcamps and combination group classes that included weightlifting, rowing, and cycling.

Now, Rob absolutely loves everything about the Zoom integration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the best thing WellnessLiving has ever done,\u201d Rob says. \u201cWhen I found out you could make everything so much easier, I couldn\u2019t understand why we weren\u2019t using it sooner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rob scheduled a training session with WellnessLiving\u2019s expert Support Team, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/benefits-zoom-integration\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=click&amp;utm_campaign=ft-the-fitness-guild-case-study\">the Zoom integration helped<\/a> The Fitness Guild overnight. Here are some of the ways the Zoom integration made Rob\u2019s life much easier:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>His Zoom account conveniently connected with his WellnessLiving account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s simple for Rob to set-up and manage his virtual classes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He can send out automatic notifications and reminders when clients sign up for class.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He can restrict access to his exclusive content with automatic client verification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instead of emails full of Zoom links, clients now receive <a href=\"https:\/\/help.wellnessliving.com\/en\/articles\/9558305-share-a-direct-booking-url\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">direct booking links<\/a> to fill their classes or the option to join classes right from the software in the <a href=\"https:\/\/help.wellnessliving.com\/en\/articles\/8976747-client-web-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Client Web App<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/features\/achieve\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=click&amp;utm_campaign=ft-the-fitness-guild-case-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Achieve Client App<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fitness Guild continued to grow thanks to our Zoom integration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-was-your-reopening-process-like\">What was your reopening process like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many gyms, The Fitness Guild has been anxious to reopen and see everyone in person. Rob says, \u201cIt\u2019s a big community here, and anytime we get together, it just feels like we\u2019re hanging out with family!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fitness Guild was able to reopen at the beginning of Phase 3 in July and used WellnessLiving\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/reasons-your-business-needs-achieve-client-app\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=click&amp;utm_campaign=ft-the-fitness-guild-case-study\">Achieve Client App<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/features\/elevate-page\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=click&amp;utm_campaign=ft-the-fitness-guild-case-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elevate Staff App<\/a> to make the process as easy as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clients could easily book and pay for classes and gym sessions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Staff members can manage their schedules, book and check clients in, cancel classes, and make substitutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Rob also took advantage of WellnessLiving\u2019s automated marketing suite to simplify the reopening process. He\u2019s been able to easily reach The Fitness Guild community with emails, texts, and push notifications, so they are updated on important details about the gym, such as health and safety protocols, sanitation guidelines, social distancing rules, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-15984\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1-2.png\" alt=\"the fitness guild, Rob Deline\" class=\"wp-image-15984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1-2.png 630w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1-2-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1-2-320x213.png 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Like many gyms, The Fitness Guild has been anxious to reopen and see everyone in person.

Here is what they did:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They separated the equipment to keep people apart (to follow the six-foot social distancing rule). Gym members would also need to wear a mask when entering and exiting the facility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With a maximum of six people in the gym at a time, WellnessLiving\u2019s booking system makes it easy to manage capacity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They also increased their cleaning practices and provided each client with their own spray bottle and roll of paper towels to keep their station clean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guests were also limited to one hour per visit at the gym.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s working! Since they reopened, the gym reactivated many of its members, while also adding about 30 new members as well. The addition of new outdoor bootcamp classes helped attract attention, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-your-outdoor-classes-like\">What are your outdoor classes like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the midst of rethinking their business model, The Fitness Guild added an outdoor bootcamp to their roster. The benefits?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Everyone is safe since there\u2019s a lot of room to keep people apart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With the classes being held outside, others notice! In other words, it\u2019s free advertising, attracting attention and generating interest in the gym.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This addition has made it feel \u201calmost like normal,\u201d says Rob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-else-has-wellnessliving-helped\">How else has WellnessLiving helped?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fitness Guild switched to WellnessLiving about a year ago, and Rob couldn\u2019t be happier! Here are some of the other features that have made getting through the pandemic possible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/features\/online-booking\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=click&amp;utm_campaign=ft-the-fitness-guild-case-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Booking<\/a>:<\/strong> Clients could book without contacting Rob directly.
