School's Out for Summer: Keeping Students Engaged with Virtual Fitness Classes

May 29
As summer rolls in and students head off to different corners of the world, keeping them engaged with your Recreation Center can feel like a challenge. That’s where virtual classes come in!
 
Fusion allows you to offer an array of online fitness and wellness classes that allow students to stay connected to their favorite activities, no matter where they are. Whether they’re chilling at home, traveling, or enjoying a beach day, virtual classes bring the Rec Center right to them, providing a fun and convenient way to stay active and part of the community all summer long.
 

Configuring Virtual Classes

For Programs by Schedule, you can configure your virtual class URL in two locations.
 
Option 1: In the Program's Schedule Settings tab (seen below). Please note this applies the same Zoom link to all instances of that Program.
 
Option 2: On the Instructor Page on the Member Portal (seen below). This allows you to enter a unique URL for a specific Program instance.
 

Check In

When the Check In period begins, a customer who is registered for a virtual class will be able to click Join Session on the Program instance. 
 
Once they click Join Session, they are marked as checked in for that class.
 

Added Competition

Want to add an additional element? You can run a Summer Fitness Challenge and give an award to folks who participated the most. Think T-Shirts, Water Bottles, and more! We recommend the Check In Attendance By Member Summary report found in the Attendance section of Reports. An example can be found below.
With virtual fitness Programs, staying active over the summer has never been easier or more fun. Let’s make this summer the best one yet—full of energy, motivation, and community—no matter where students are. After all, staying active is a year-round commitment, and with virtual classes, your Rec Center can always be just a click away!
