fibodo has launched live streaming and hybrid membership capabilities via its booking management platform to help clubs, gyms and personal trainers (PTs) engage their members and generate income during the prolonged closure of gyms and sports facilities.

Clubs, gyms and PTs now can maintain a local presence in their community, during current and future restrictions, and engage new and existing members who can’t meet in the same location, while continuing to charge for their services. The fibodo platform’s updates are free for all subscribers to use at no extra charge. Clubs, coaches and trainers can now manage and get paid for virtual and in-person bookings on a single platform.

Independent trainers and facilities can stream, record, and share their own original content to maintain momentum and engagement with their membership while physical facilities are forced to close.

Clubs and coaches can launch their own digital hybrid membership models to keep members engaged while recognising that pricing for live-streams and content needs to be different from full-access, in-person monthly memberships and packages.

fibodo trainers and gyms can increase their digital presence and footprint while also monetising their unique content creating a new revenue stream following the platform update.

Anthony Franklin, CEO at booking management platform, fibodo, said: “It is essential that PTs, gyms and sports facilities continue to earn during this prolonged period of closure, and we have pivoted our technology to help them do that. The fibodo platform’s updates put the power back into the PTs and gyms hands, allowing them to engage their member bases while they can’t train in-person. Importantly, they are also able to generate income from their own expertise and content rather than give it away for free.

“Small and independent gyms and trainers can now compete with big fitness content providers that have flooded the market with free high-quality training videos in recent months.

“PTs and gyms have long-standing relationships with their clients and member bases and we want to help support those by allowing trainers to provide the same services, and sessions to their clients remotely, keeping local brands and well-known faces delivering motivation for their community.”
