Keeping the Gym Healthy
Healthy lifestyle is in trend nowadays, as more and more people are becoming health-conscious and starting to subscribe to fitness plans, clubs and gymnasiums around the world. Fitness establishments started to sprout and many of the operators chose to offer around the clock services to cater to the different lifestyles and schedules of the clients, on top of maintaining the healthy fiscal position of the gyms or the health clubs.
Having adequate space and equipments is important for fitness operators but a more crucial aspect is for these places to offer something extra. They need to bring in the right people at all times in order to advance the business to the next level. In doing so, the planning of the instructors, trainers, and managers schedules have to be done right alongside with the work schedules of other employees such as sales, customer service, cleaners and etc. This is to ensure customer’s experience and satisfaction are at its peak.
Imagine having a class full of members whereby the assigned instructor was tardy or even worse, failed to show up to conduct the class. Frequent absences or tardiness of trainers and instructors would cost the fitness operator a whole lot more when members eventually decided to switch to other more reliable operators.
Nonetheless, scheduling employees for a 24/7 operation can be a daunting task when the admin needs to effectively manage the schedules from various departments of trainers & instructors, managers, and sales team. Combined it with the occasional peak hours, high seasons, part-time employees, and multiple shifts scenarios; you will soon notice that the task of scheduling a gymnasium is far from easy.
To tackle this matter head on, one useful tool that gyms or fitness operators must seek out for is a time and attendance solution that can plan/manage scheduling right, track staff attendance details, provide various clocking options and generate accurate records/reports for better staff management.
Let's explore what are the useful features TimeTec TA cloud-based time attendance solution can offer to fitness operators.

The most important feature in time & attendance solution is its scheduling and shift modules. Most often, fitness operators do not just operate a single branch.
