Our approach

SEO

While the previous Club Fitness website maintained decent rankings for specific local keywords, our objective during the construction of the new website was not only to sustain but also to elevate these rankings. Moreover, we aimed to enhance rankings for new keywords. The creation of dedicated pages for locations, classes, and distinctive Club Fitness services allowed us to harness keywords that competitors might have overlooked, bolstering our SEO strategy.

At-Home Virtual Studio

During our collaboration on Club Fitness's new website, our development team concurrently introduced the "Virtual Fitness Hub" on their existing site. This member portal allowed remote participation in instructor-led classes, proving to be a vital solution during lockdowns. Working within the framework of the existing website, our team ensured seamless access for members and facilitated online enrollment for newcomers, at a time when many gyms faced temporary closures.

Improved UI Design

The primary goal of the fresh website was to establish a centralized platform for Club Fitness's member services, client onboarding, class schedules, and gym locations. Additionally, highlighting the Club Fitness brand and its dedication to the community while catering to diverse member needs was a top priority. Recognizing the active lifestyles of members, our team meticulously designed the new site to be mobile-responsive and user-friendly across various devices. Our UI design approach centers on creating an attractive, intuitive, and inclusive site for a broad spectrum of both new and returning users.

POS/CRM Integration

The new website necessitated seamless POS integration to streamline new member enrollment, membership fee transactions, and account adjustments. Our team at St. Louis Web Design flawlessly integrated these functions into both the front-end and back-end, complementing them with CRM integration to capture every opportunity, equipping the company with essential customer service and sales tools.

Find a Club Feature

Incorporating the "Locate a Club" feature ensured that prospective clients and existing members could effortlessly discover their nearest club. This map-based search, driven by zip codes, offered a user-friendly method for identifying nearby Club Fitness locations and accessing key information for each club, including amenities, photos, operating hours, contact details, and downloadable class schedules, elevating the overall user experience.
