SimpleGym Partners With WePay

At SimpleGym, we want gym owners to be up and running on our platform in minutes, not days or even hours, and achieving that has been a key component in all of our partnerships.

SEATTLE (PRWEB)
October 30, 2019

SimpleGym, makers of the cloud-based all-in-one gym management software for gyms, studios, dojos and personal training, today announced a partnership with WePay, the integrated payments business of JPMorgan Chase & Co., to bring its users fast, reliable and secure integrated payments.

SimpleGym has integrated the WePay payments platform into its software, bringing its customers the reliability and security of fully integrated credit, debit and ACH payment capabilities.

Delivering Payments, Securely

In selecting a payments partner, SimpleGym prioritized payment security, streamlined onboarding and a commitment to innovation.

An Instant Onboarding Experience

SimpleGym wanted a payments partner who offers instant onboarding through deferred KYC (Know-Your-Customer). This feature enables gym owners who sign up for SimpleGym, to delay the lengthy underwriting back and forth that traditional credit card processing entails, and instead immediately begin accepting payments from gym members.

“At SimpleGym, we want gym owners to be up and running on our platform in minutes, not days or even hours, and achieving that has been a key component in all of our partnerships,” said Rich McIver, SimpleGym Director of Operations. “With WePay, we found a partner whose deferred KYC onboarding flow enabled us to achieve that. Now, gym owners can simply create a SimpleGym account and instantly have the ability to process payments via our payments partner. That technology was integral to ensuring that gym owners who use our software have the simple, fast experience we always want to deliver. In our payments partner research, WePay was one of only a few prospective partners in the world capable of delivering on that goal.”

A Commitment to Innovation and Affordability

Gym owners need a gym management solution that is easy to use and affordable, but also meets all of their administrative, payment, legal and management needs. And as their gyms develop, those needs change.

Internally, the SimpleGym team has made it a key goal to respond to customer product feedback and feature requests as a means to improve customer experience and ensure that SimpleGym remains the most innovative, affordable and intuitive gym management software platform (See the SimpleGym Changelog for the latest SimpleGym product developments). In WePay, SimpleGym sought and found a similar commitment to innovation and customer responsiveness.

Availability

SimpleGym enables gym owners to sign up and manage members, simplify paperwork, handle class check-ins, track gym growth, handle member payments, and more.

SimpleGym’s all-in-one gym management software is currently available for free for a 30 day trial. Gyms can then select from plans ranging from $9 to $79 per month. See Pricing for full details.

Personal Trainer Gainesville FL

Our best form of marketing is doing everything we can to provide convenience, and ultimately empower our clients to get health and fitness results!

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (PRWEB)
October 29, 2019

The founder of Swamp Fitness, Jarred Mussen, has been helping Alachua County residents get results by re-igniting their healthy habits for more than seven years. Many people want to improve their health and fitness results or get started on their health journey but are lacking the motivation, guidance, and accountability. This leaves many people putting off an exercise routine or healthy nutrition plan. Many Gainesville residents are challenged with finding time to consistently drive to the gym, let alone create an exercise and nutrition plan that is effective within their busy lifestyle.

Faced with greater time constraints from work, childcare, etc., Americans often skip out on exercise and turn to more convenient food options with lower nutritional values. Although not exercising and opting for unhealthy convenience foods both save time, they tend to leave people with less energy and a poor mood. The consequences of not establishing consistent exercise and healthy nutrition habits has many health risks and can have a major negative impact on our mental health which takes away from the important areas of our lives that are taking up our time.

In order to protect health and quality of life, many feel the need for a proactive solution to empower individuals to get effective health results such as working with a personal trainer Gainesville FL. Health experts recommend that adults should be getting at least 150 minutes of exercise per week. This task can be monumental to people who are struggling with losing weight, improving mood and energy, as well as preventing health conditions such as high blood pressure, depression, diabetes, and obesity. Many middle-aged individuals have an awakening after learning about the reality of their current health state from their doctor, causing them to take action with prioritizing their health in effort to make the most of life.

Hiring a personal trainer in Gainesville, FL that will travel to the clients’ home within the schedule that works best for the client’s lifestyle is very effective at not just getting the client their desired fitness results, but also establishing the sustainable routine habits that will help the client stay committed even after they finish their personal training program. The accountability of a fitness professional showing up to the client’s home ensures that they stay consistent with their exercise and nutrition program.

The company, Swamp Fitness has a team of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists and Certified Personal Trainers in Gainesville, FL who truly care about you and your health and have expertise with providing individually customized exercise prescription and nutritional coaching. Swamp Fitness matches you with the personal trainer and registered dietitian nutritionist that is the best fit for you based on your goals, personality, and preferred training style. Rather than having to carve out time to drive to the gym and come up with a plan, this company has been able to offer Gainesville personal training at your preferred location (such as your home) and within the availability that works best within your life. They understand the importance of your health and truly want you to live life to the fullest.

Swamp Fitness has these four core values at the essence of how they operate: Authenticity. Compassion. Responsibility. Progress. Their Gainesville personal training services are for people who need it most, those who you don’t see in the gym and are having major challenges with living a healthy lifestyle and getting the health and fitness results they want. Their message that they are trying to get out is that they are committed to helping Gainesville residents get health results in the comfort and convenience of their own home and within their availability.

LEARN HOW TO SLOW THE AFFECTS OF AGING

SHORT HILLS, N.J. (PRWEB)
October 29, 2019

Gym Source will present an Optimal Age Health & Fitness information and training event November 9, 2019 10:00AM-4:00PM at 740 Morris Turnpike in Short Hills, NJ.

Each participant will receive a custom fitness profile and Optimizing Age plan of action from physiologist and educator Angela Santoni, PhD and celebrity trainer Danny Musico.

Optimizing Age is a concept developed by Angela Santoni, PhD. It considers the various systems of the human body that change as we age and how to address each system (muscle, heart, brain, bone) to achieve optimal health.

Optimal health is the highest possible physical, mental, and social state with the lowest risk of developing future diseases.

“Optimal Age asks that we throw away the idea of accepting age as a fixed state and take ownership of the controllable components of aging. It’s not about turning back a clock, but it’s also not about settling in,” Santoni explains. “It’s about understanding the changes in your body based on age, and targeting the areas you can improve through exercise and nutrition.”

Danny Musico, personal trainer to the stars, will lead participants through training techniques tailored to specific fitness goals and concerns. The event will feature several stations, with assessment tools, fitness information and nutritional advice at each location. Participants will learn what they can do to improve their health at every age.

About Angela Santoni:

Angela Santoni is an educator and researcher focused on effective wellness interventions and educational platforms. A twenty-year veteran in the wellness arena, she’s held positions with Equinox, Gym Source, Life Fitness, Cybex, True and Octane. She contributed to the first NCCA skill-based assessment standard in Personal Training for the Institute of Credentialing Excellence. She holds a BA in Exercise Science from Rutgers University, an MA in Exercise Science from Brooklyn College and a PhD from Northeastern University.

About Danny Musico:

Musico is a former Olympic Boxing team member, former Golden Gloves Champion and a two-time Professional World Super MiddleWeight Boxing Champion. He regularly trains elite athletes and is considered Hollywood’s #1 celebrity trainer and has worked with Leonardo DiCaprio, Sylvester Stallone, Justin Bieber, Toby Maguire, Carrie Underwood, Hillary Swank and the cast of Entourage.

“It is very rewarding to partner with a medical technology company like LIVMOR to provide digital wellness coaching solutions that will assist physicians and medical professionals in addressing chronic cardiovascular illness,” said Bob Allison, Founder of PEAR Sports.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB)
October 28, 2019

PEAR Sports, creators of the PEAR Health & Fitness Platform that delivers targeted smart coaching technology, today announced it has partnered with LIVMOR to develop digital fitness and wellness training programs that produce better outcomes and experiences for those suffering from Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). LIVMOR, makers of the Halo+ Powered by Samsung medical-grade remote monitoring device, develops proprietary software solutions for wearable devices that continuously monitor the health and wellness of patients with chronic conditions. Together, LIVMOR and PEAR Sports will participate in a pilot study at the Dallas VA to serve Veterans with PAD.

According to the CDC, PAD affects about 8.5 million Americans, including 12-20% of individuals older than age 60. PAD also raises the odds of more severe health problems, like coronary artery disease, heart attack and stroke. A heart-healthy lifestyle, including exercise, diet and stress reduction has been shown to reduce the risks of heart disease and PAD.

“Fortunately, symptoms of PAD can be reduced and even eliminated with diet and exercise,” reports Ken Persen, Founder & CEO of LIVMOR. “This is the goal of the joint LIVMOR and PEAR Sports pilot study — to interpret patient data, create personalized, actionable health coaching exercises, and send them directly to the Veterans to help reduce their symptoms and increase their overall quality of life. We are working together with the goal of delivering specific video and audio instructions directly to patients on their prescribed Halo+ tablet.” Ken added, “This is a great opportunity to use tele-health to extend the services provided to the Veteran population.”

The LIVMOR Coaching Platform Powered by Pear will be part of the prescriptive LIVMOR Halo+ program, currently in clinical trials, that provides an elegant turnkey solution for continuous remote monitoring of PAD patients. The LIVMOR solution uses the first prescription-only smartwatch for accurate remote monitoring of heart rate, heart rate variability and activity. This new digital coaching platform will deliver proactive wellness and exercise instructions targeted to improve patient results. The objectives of the pilot study, which is being performed in concert with the Dallas VA, are to monitor Veterans with PAD, and then provide custom and relevant fitness programs to reduce their symptoms and help them become healthier through proven exercise and wellness training.

“It is very rewarding to partner with a medical technology company like LIVMOR to provide digital wellness coaching solutions that will assist physicians and medical professionals in addressing chronic cardiovascular illness,” said Bob Allison, Founder of PEAR Sports. “We are particularly enthusiastic to work with LIVMOR to deliver engaging and effective exercise content to our Veteran population through the pilot study at the Dallas VA. We know the symptoms of cardiovascular disease can be alleviated with appropriate exercise and wellness programs, and we look forward to improving the wellness journey for Veterans suffering from PAD.”
