Put the instructor on every machine

A member stares at an unfamiliar cable machine and gives up. One code on the frame plays a fifteen-second clip of the movement done properly, and the same idea books a class, signs a waiver or starts a membership at the door.

  • A short how-to video on the machine, so nobody guesses the movement
  • Class bookings and waivers off the clipboard and onto the phone
  • Sign-ups you can start at the door and change without reprinting

The setup

The codes that run the floor

Machines get one code each; the rest of the gym needs a handful. Every one is dynamic, so a new timetable or a swapped video never means a reprint.

Video

Equipment how-to

A fifteen-second clip of the movement done properly: setup, grip, the two things people get wrong. One per machine, filmed once.

A new face on Monday night

What happens when the how-to codes are already on the machines.
6:40 PMHe's on a two-week trialSigned the waiver on his phone from a code at the desk. You never touched a clipboard.
6:55 PMHe reaches the cable machineNo idea how it's set up. He scans the sticker on the frame and watches the fifteen-second clip.
6:56 PMHe does it rightCorrect height, correct grip. No hovering, no injury, no staff member pulled off the desk.
7:30 PMHe books a classSame visit, code on the board: Saturday's strength session, one tap.
Next weekYou swap a clipThe leg-press video was filmed at the wrong angle. New file, same sticker, done in a minute.

Honest bit

Four ways gyms waste a code

We'd rather you printed two good codes than ten that nobody scans.

A machine sticker with no video behind itA code that opens a page of text is worse than a printed diagram. If it's on the machine, it plays the movement, or don't put it there.
Printing it on the gripIt gets covered by a hand and worn off by sweat in a month. Put it on the frame or the weight stack, flat and out of the wear path.
One code for the whole timetable and every class linkYou learn nothing about which classes people actually look up. Booking is one job; keep it clean.
Static links to a schedule that changes weeklyUse a dynamic code even for the timetable. The week you move a class, you'll change it in seconds instead of reprinting the board.

Gyms & fitness studios questions

The ones owners actually ask us before they print.

One short clip per machine type. Film them in an afternoon on a phone. The code on each frame points at the matching clip, and you can re-record any one without touching the sticker.
