Snap Fitness, owned by Lift Brands, has partnered with CoverMe Fitness, an on-demand fitness team management and cover solution app, to enhance operational standards across its franchises in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. The collaboration marks a significant step in ensuring all team members at Snap Fitness locations meet industry compliance requirements, including holding proper qualifications and insurance.
Under this partnership, CoverMe Fitness is now a required component for all 75 Snap Fitness locations in the region. The app streamlines team management processes, ensuring that instructors and personal trainers are certified, insured and able to provide class cover when needed. The integration also supports operational efficiency, particularly for clubs offering group exercise programs.
Paul Stevenson, operations director of Lift Brands, emphasized the importance of this move, stating:
“At Snap Fitness, ensuring compliance and operational efficiency is key. CoverMe’s platform streamlines compliance across our clubs, and many with group exercise timetables are enjoying the full management features. Most significantly, CoverMe helps our teams to be more efficient and frees up their time to do what they do best — creating memorable experiences for our members and their local community.”
The CoverMe app provides additional functionality for managing class schedules and sourcing substitute instructors. According to John Davies, General Manager of Snap Fitness Tooting in London, the app has simplified the previously time-consuming process of finding class cover.
“Finding cover [a sub] used to be stressful, but I can now just direct the team to the app, where they can easily find cover from a preferred list of instructors or beyond if needed. Having all contacts in one place has made things much more organized,” said Davies.
CoverMe Fitness CEO Rosanna Tucker noted that the app’s automated compliance tools save clubs an estimated 10 hours of operational time per week, allowing managers to focus on growth and improving member experiences.
By implementing the CoverMe app across its UK operations, Snap Fitness aims to reinforce safety and compliance standards, while improving efficiency for staff and enhancing service for members.
