1. In my previous post, I talked about an opportunity that is available due to the wait time on machines at the gym and overall how crowded every gym gets. Everyone who has experienced this problem and hates it, as it is one of the worst things that can happen in the middle of a very good workout. I believe that there is service that can help fix this problem.
2. In my last post, I talked about a service that was very basic and simple and now that I have had more time to think about this opportunity I would like to expand on the service. The first part that I mentioned about the service in my previous post I would like to stay the same. That was that the gym set up general cameras around the gym and broadcast a live feed from those cameras to their website or app, so that people can see how crowded the gym is before they go and if it is a good time to go. The second part of my service that I discussed in the previous post I would like to change a little bit. I said that each gym should have their own app which tells you if the machine you want is open or not. This is a good idea, but I would like to expand on it. I think in addition to this, in the app there should be a way to reserve certain machines through the apps and once you get to the machine you can start your reservation. This way if someone is already using it then they have it reserved. You can reserve it while they are on it, that way a queue can start on the machine and you have a spot in line. You can do this while you are using a different machine so your time in the queue won't be too long. But you can't reserve every machine in the gym for yourself. There will be a system that once your reservation starts you will have two minutes to get to the machine and start it or your reservation will be cancelled. Then the machine will either open or the next person in the queue can now use this machine.
Wow great idea Nick! I personally use the gym I have at my apartment and I can empathize with you. In order to combat this problem, I usually try to use the gym early in the morning when no one is there. If this service were available at my gym, I would certainly use it. I think this would greatly benefit a gym's membership count in a big way. I believe this because most gyms are very similar in what they offer, so an additional service like this would set a gym apart from ALL other gyms. This is a great idea that you should follow up on!
ReplyDeleteI really like this idea in the Southwest gym, I always have that problem when I go to the gym especially at night because it is so crowded and sometimes it takes a long time to use a machine or it’s difficult to alternate machines with somebody else. I would definitely use that. Great idea Nick!
