Club 2.0 - How it's used (bonus)... Part 5&6 - Instructors and Design

A bonus article on how the Profile App is being used by instructors and clubs. We’re pleased to say that this has been a popular series, with great feedback and additional input. Thanks to Barry for his comments on instructors and from Technogym on club planning.

While Club 2.0 is primarily a member focused tool, it’s also important that instructors buy into the app, and complete their own aspiration maps. Several clubs we know display the instructors’ maps with their photos in reception, or in the gym. This can help to:
  • Link instructors’ profiles with the classes they give 
  • Introduce a new instructor to members 
  • Choose a personal trainer 
Note that instructor’s profiles are often more even spread than members
