What’s the best way to manage a gym

Now that we can go back to them, the use of the gym has finally come back into service. The weekly, daily, or monthly for the less keen, trips to the gym can now become part of our regular lives again. Given that many of us have put on a few pounds over the lockdowns and social distancing, some gyms have seen a sudden sharp rise in returning folk and new sign-ups. So what’s the best way to organise all these new interests and existing members?

The first thing that any new or established gyms needs is to have a Visitor sign-in system so that you can see who is on-site at the time. There is a very good reason for this. If you have an oversubscribed gym, the last thing that you want is to have too many people in with an over-demand for the equipment. If you put in a system from  https://www.ofec.co.uk/visitor-management-system-uk.aspx you are setting yourself up to make a good start in managing the facilities you have in the building.

The best way to ensure that everyone gets a go is to utilise the classes you run. If people can’t get on to do their workout on a machine, then try and offer something they can do that’s active while they wait. It’s one thing to have loads of running machines and weights, but some aerobic exercise is not a bad idea either.
