Welcome To 2007 !
Happy new year!
What new features and roll-outs are planned for 2007? Well - both TrainerReady (similar to ClubReady but only for 1 individual trainer) and ShapeReady (a service based around the client tools / login area of ClubReady, with the addition of some extra social network goodness) will launch.
Actual features that we have planned are numerous. It’s actually not our goal to have every imaginable feature possible, only features that have value, and even then - a lot of thought goes into making any addition as simple and easy to use as possible. Anyway - here is a list of a few things in the pipeline.
Workout Library / Ability to Create Workout Plans - This will be a great addition for trainers and client users. The first stage will go live in Jan. There is a whole library of workouts with descriptions and photo’s that have been developed. We’ll also be filming short videos to go with each workout that will also be downloadable as podcasts.
Internal Messaging System - This will add several benefits - a documentable communication trail between the club and client but also a way for trainers to communicate with their clients easily outside of session times. It’s also a feature that will allow for greater community interaction
Some Food Log Additions - Very soon we’ll be updating the USDA food database to the latest version (ver 19). This has about 500 additional foods listed in it. Also - some other additions will include the ability to track & chart mood with food entries, track the exact time the food was eaten (in addition to the existing but less meaningful ‘meal time’) and the ability to search every other users food favorites.
Newsletter system - This will give clubs an easy way to create emailed newsletters to their clients.
Automatic Client Session Reminders - This wouldn’t be universal to every customer, but would allow the club to automatically remind selected clients about their upcoming sessions (by either email or text message). It could also be used to automatically remind customers to book any credits that are about to expire.
Online Store - Ability for clubs to have an online store that clients can access from their login area.
There’s obviously lots of smaller changes and fixes that are added on a frequent basis, but the above list is some of the bigger things we have planned. Actual people using ClubReady on a day to day basis is by far the best way we improve the system, even little changes are key if they make something easier to use or understand.
