As we move through 2021, gyms and leisure centres can expect demand in membership to increase, but retaining new members will be the challenge. 

After more than a year of having their lives turned upside down, customers are looking for gyms and fitness centres that can offer that extra motivational factor – namely a great atmosphere.

At LEDSnaps, we’re aware of the financial strain government lockdowns have put on the fitness industry and how important it is to get new and existing members back into the gym.

Set the mood
When COVID-19 struck, LEDSnaps CEO, Ian Kirby, recognised that businesses that survived the pandemic would be tight on cash and resources. 

By offering an affordable immersive lighting system to set the fitness mood and add atmosphere to classes, he believes gyms, studios, leisure centres and health clubs are more likely to attract and retain new members. 

“We’ve developed core technology to bring a ‘plug and play’ system to the fitness market, with no complicated installation or computer programming required,” says Kirby.

“Designed and manufactured in the UK, LEDSnaps is a fully immersive lighting system that enhances all types of fitness classes, including yoga, Pilates, cardio and cycle classes.”

LEDSnaps is an innovative solution to traditional, more expensive immersive fitness lighting, offering a professional system with operational simplicity at greatly reduced costs.

The set-up is quick and simple to install onto all ceiling types, can be expanded to grow with the business and be transferred easily to different sites and ceilings.

Keep the offer fresh
“We understand changing trends and the need to constantly refresh to keep customers satisfied,” says Kirby, “so we also offer an option for users to receive regular updates to their lighting sequences.

“These are just some of the benefits LEDSnaps can bring to your business.

“We’ve gone a step further and created a grant to support operators as they transition back to a sustainable operating model through 2021,” he says.

“Through this grant we’ll donate a complete LEDSnaps system to the fitness operator we think would benefit the most from having the lighting system installed in their facility. Email us if you’d like to know more at [email protected]

“We’re committed to supporting customers on the road to success. Add atmosphere, add members, add LEDSnaps!”
