Loyalty programs can be especially effective at encouraging existing members to renew their membership. You can automatically add rewards to their account based on their length of service, giving them an incentive to stick around and receive more goodies.

Loyalty cards or apps can be used for all your gym activities. Customers can earn points and bonuses by taking classes, hiring a personal trainer, shopping in shops and cafes.

Most businesses use loyalty programs to collect data about their customers. This helps build member profiles and tailor the WhatsApp marketing experience. The information can be used to refine your marketing strategy.

In addition to recruiting new members and renewing existing memberships, gyms and fitness centers that use Vietnam WhatsApp Number List to communicate with their members can provide a better overall experience.

Benefits of WhatsApp
Schedule and reservation management
All gyms have a schedule, even for drop-in sessions. Use WhatsApp marketing to send your schedules to your clients, so they know what’s happening and when. Your members will be able to see the schedule for exercise sessions, personal training sessions, junior sessions, etc.

Text a link to your schedule and you can even add booking links for specific classes or events.

Confirmation of reservations and reminder of sessions
When a member has made a booking, whether via WhatsApp, app, in person or over the phone, an automated booking confirmation WhatsApp can be sent directly to their mobile phone.

WhatsApp confirmations can be linked to personal calendars on phones and give the recipient a reference to refer to. This helps reduce no-shows and automatically establishes a chain of reminder texts to be sent to the recipient at different intervals, for example the day before a session and 30 minutes before, just like a medical appointment (see example opposite)

With smart segmentation, you can even configure your WhatsApp platform to identify members who are session repeaters to remind them to book the session if they haven't already.

Program changes and important announcements
How do you inform a large number of people about a schedule change at once? With WhatsApp messages of course. You can send a message to specific members to inform them about schedule changes or class cancellations. The system also allows you to send WhatsApp messages to all your members to inform them of important updates and announcements such as power outages, staff changes, security issues, etc.

If you want your subscribers to respond to confirm that they understood the announcement or to make a choice, you can set up your WhatsApp to be two-way. For example:

“Unfortunately we had to cancel our pilates class due to staff illness. We still have spots available for our 2pm yoga class if you would like to join us. Reply “YOGA” if you would like to join the alternative class.”

Motivational Messages and Goal Setting
Apparently, most new gym members start to drop off around March, and that’s probably when you start to see a drop in membership numbers. Send motivational messages to members to encourage them to keep going. You can schedule messages to be sent at regular intervals. A message on Monday could help members start the week off on the right foot, and maybe towards the end of the week to help keep the momentum going.

Set goals for your members, whether they are personal goals or goals for the entire gym. Celebrate and reward your members for their milestones. You can offer rewards to encourage them to reach their goals, such as a free branded bottle, keyring or free hot drink in the café.

Recommend a friend
Send your subscribers offers and discounts via WhatsApp to encourage them to invite their friends to join your gym. This could be a free month of membership or even an unrelated incentive, like vouchers for a coffee shop or restaurant.

Fitness Plans
New gym members often struggle with where to start. They don’t want to pay for a personal trainer or personal trainer, but they need guidance. These members would appreciate fitness programs sent directly to their mobile phone.

As with all WhatsApp marketing messages, fitness plans can be sent to specific people based on their motivations for becoming a gym member. They can also be personalized based on the data fields added.

Members can be encouraged to sign up for free fitness programs during their gym visits. Staff can then fill out a form to collect as much data as possible to improve the overall customer service level at the gym.
