As we emerge into a post-COVID world, with gyms re-opening around the country, tech firms are giving the Aussie fitness industry a lift with free digital services to retain and rebuild their clientele.

According to recent Fitness Australia research, 71% of fitness businesses had zero clients since gyms closed on 23 March 2020 and revenue was down 100% for 50% of gym owners.  

During lockdown, many customers turned to at-home fitness options to adapt to the new climate leaving PTs, studios and gyms behind for owners to start again almost from scratch. 

To ease the weight of lockdown, SMS platform MessageMedia is offering fitness business owners a new free SMS support package including: 

·         Free use of their SMS services this includes free messaging credits, plus a dedicated phone number to promote to your customers.    

·         Assistance with getting up and running with one of its messaging experts.   

·         Access to advice and tools via its customer resources hub, such as high-performing messaging templates that is continually updated as conditions change. 

This package can be used for things like, workout plans, training reminders, promotion of upcoming classes, or, importantly, re-opening conditions. With 90% of text messages being read within 90 seconds of being delivered, businesses will notice a jump in client engagement.
