Manual - UK

Emergency Contact Details must be provided during the signup process when this setting is enabled.

When it is disabled, they can be omitted.

The sign-up page shows separate boxes for entering promo and referral codes; these can be positioned above or below your package lists.

This setting enables tracking and metric generation beyond the scope of this manual (and usually handled by your web developer or agency).

These settings determine how long should elapse before the site considers a member to be sleeping (paid-up but inactive). The second setting determines when the member will be considered sleeping for the very first time, and the first one determines the interval thereafter.

The values are often set to the same delay, but you can control them separately if needed, so an initial value of 40 and a repeat of 20 would mean that the member is not considered sleeping at all until 40 days of inactivity have elapsed, but they will be marked as sleeping for every further twenty days of inactivity.

This determines how long booking credit is valid for; it must be 'spent' within this much time from its purchase date.

This setting determines the number, and types of health stats that can be recorded by members via the fitness app.

The first switch enables or disables the referral system completely, and the second switch puts it into auto mode or manual mode. In manual mode, staff must approve individual referrals, whereas in auto mode, the new joiner is automatically approved, in turn rewarding the original referring member.

The two text areas allow you to provide your own text for use with the referral system.

See The Referral System Explained for a complete explanation of how the referral system functions.The Referral System Explained

The country setting is used to determine currency symbol, number formats etc.

Use the language selector to choose from the growing number of interface translations within the product, and also to set the date format at the same time. For example  English (United Kingdom) [DD/MM/YYYY]  and  English (Philippines) [MM/DD/YYYY]  use the same interface language, but differing date formats.

The time and day settings at the top and bottom here determine how far in advance a member can see or book onto a class (on their mobile app).

The middle setting relates to Slipping Members however:

A slipping member is simply a member who has not visited the gym recently; the period you define here sets the number of days of inactivity that should elapse before this member is added to the slipping members list.

Gym managers are notified about all slipping members via email (the slipping members themselves do not receive any mails!). This message is a reminder for the manager to get in touch with the listed member(s) to see how they are getting on/if there is anything the gym can do.

The 'slipping members' email template can be found in the system emails area .

If this setting is turned off, all booking attendees will remain with a 'did not attend' status until a member of staff manually marks them as 'attended'.

If you enable 'auto' mode, a second box appears to allow you to define the number of minutes for the automatic attendance system to use. If a member comes into the gym as normal (eg using their keyfob) up to this many minutes before a booking is due to start, they will automatically be marked as attended.

Enable this if you wish to prevent members joining bookings if they have a recent history of non-attendance.

The three additional settings shown here appear only when this first option is enabled: the next two determine how many bookings the member can miss, and within what period of time. For example you might permit up to three missed bookings within a twenty-eight day period, or one missed booking in a fortnight etc.

The final setting sets the period of the block for this member - in other words how many days must elapse before they can book/participate in another booking.

Here you can control how much money a member is refunded if they cancel a booking they have previously made. (If you make no separate charge for bookings, these will not be used.)

The Credit Amounts area is initially blank, but you can choose to add any number of amounts for members to choose from.

The system works like this: where a gym makes charges for bookings, the members will need to purchase bookings credit in order to 'spend' it on the bookings (aka classes) held at the gym.

When this booking credit reaches zero, the amounts defined here will be offered to the member in order to top-up their credit level again.

This is simply sets an alternate name to use in the prospect area; all references to a 'Prospect Visit' will be changed to 'Prospect Taster'

This feature allows you to send one or more emails to members that are nearing the end of their membership. The mails are designed to encourage the member to renew their membership, and there are already a couple of suitable emails defined in the system emails area. When disabled of course, no reminders are sent.

Enabling Renewal Notifications will expand to reveal further options.

When you enable  Renewal Notifications , you can schedule one or more mails to be delivered before or after a member's expiry.

These defaults send an email to an expiring member a month before their expiry, a week before, on their expiry day, and a week after they have expired unless you make changes. The default mails provide the member with convenient rejoin links to encourage them to sign up again, and of course if they do rejoin, they will not receive any further reminders.

These settings decide what happens to web drop-offs (online joiners who didn't finish sign-up)

You can email them to remind them to complete their sign-up and set a delay before they are added to the system as a new prospect.

These boxes are for you to define links to social pages connected to your gym.

This setting will automatically downgrade a prospect's state from hot to cold after the period of time you specify.

A full explanation of prospects can be found in the Sales tab documentation  here .

Whenever emails are sent to members, the mails are preserved on the members Email History tab in their profile. This setting determines how many days such emails are stored before they are discarded.
