5 Awesome Fitness Business Websites Powered By Kenko!

In today’s world your fitness website speaks a lot about your business. It’s where visitors get a chance to discover your services and you get a chance to convince them that they are worth their time.

The fitness industry has been growing lately. More people, more trainers, more studios. Everything's becoming huge. With people having so many fitness choices like Yoga, CrossFit, HIIT etc. new studios can face a tough time standing out.

Getting new members to try your classes is challenging. To do that you have to ensure that your marketing game is solid. And once you generate sufficient awareness and interest in your targeted consumers, people will start walking in through your doors.

Not all fitness websites are created equally. Some are better than others. Why?

How To Make A Great Fitness Website?

Fitness websites have different needs compared to any other business. They must have certain elements to ensure that they meet their intended purpose.

Let's check them out.

01. Class Schedule

Fitness studios that offer classes must update their schedules online. New prospective members can discover them and figure out what class they want to try and when they want to try it.

The good thing about a class schedule is that it improves awareness. If people don’t know about your class schedule online, they may not bother visiting your physical location. For existing members, looking up classes becomes fairly easy with online class schedules and that surely helps in retention.

02. Online Class Bookings

Now that you’ve the schedules posted already, wouldn’t it be great if people could directly book a class even before visiting your facility. That surely sounds convenient. And it certainly is.

The great thing about online bookings is that it helps you plan your classes in advance because you would know how many people will be coming in apart from on-spot registrations.

Else at times popular classes can get really packed and people have to show up at the studio extra early just to get a spot. Online bookings help you avoid that hustle.

Right before a class begins, members can easily hop on to the My Account page on your website and enter a live class just by clicking the available link under the My Bookings section.

03. High Resolution Images

Instead of using stock photos, great fitness websites must take advantage of striking images that inspire visitors.

Photo-shoots of your fitness facility are also a great way to show-case your environment and the classes you conduct, whether you own a spin-cycle chain, a boxing ring or a Zumba studio.

These images can often take up a good part of the website’s home-page and therefore must grab the visitor's attention immediately.

04. Mobile Friendly Website

Enormous number of your visitors are coming in via mobile devices. Search engines also rank your websites based on how mobile-friendly they are.

It becomes unsaid then that your online marketing game must have a mobile friendly website which doesn’t crack up your images or compels users to zoom in.

Avoid having a mobile website that's a shrink-down version of a desktop website. The mobile website must be designed for mobile devices separately. Period.

05. On-Demand Video

Modern businesses are boosting their sales by encouraging clients to see what they have in store.

Kenko enables studios to build an entire video on demand library which can be accessed by customers on-demand.

However for new customers who are still considering your classes, you can offer them a couple of videos for free as a trial offer to build interest.

Let them try before they buy!

06. Trainer Bio

Trainers have the greatest potential to engage clients and build a loyal following. Members in turn wish to work with trainers who they trust more. That’s why it’s important to have a dedicated page for your trainers and instructors with their bios, certifications and other fun facts.

These descriptions add personality to your studio. They also help market your services to new members when they feel confident about a trainer and their experience.

07. My Account Page

This page is a dedicated dashboard for studio members where they can access all important information related to their upcoming class bookings, the memberships and packs that have been activated and so on.

Clients can even access and update their saved credit card information and take a quick glance at their past payment history within seconds.

This page gives your customers better control to track their memberships and purchases.

08. Location & Hours

Your business hours help people know when they can workout at your facility. Your location tells them where they can workout, especially if you have multiple branches.

These details become essential, not just for new visitors but also for search engines. Having an address and other contact details listed on your website improves discoverability on Google for people who live around your facility.

09. Blog

If you wish to keep your audiences engaged, then a blog on your website can help you do that. On your blog you can share your workout tips, fitness thoughts and write detailed articles that resolve problems frequently faced by your ideal clients.

10. Pricing & Checkout

Just like booking a class, advanced online websites these days have options to enable online purchases by visitors via their pricing and checkout pages.

These online purchases can include class-packs, drop-ins and monthly unlimited memberships. But they can also include common in-studio necessities like a water bottle or a yoga mat.

Having the ability to buy things online ensures less friction for your members while you get to improve your sales.

Now that we have laid out the elements that make a great fitness website, let’s see how these are so perfectly placed in some of the best fitness websites powered by Kenko.
