In mid-March, the traditionally high touch/low tech Group Ex department turned to technology to stream classes live through The Houstonian Club’s Facebook groups. To resume in-person yet limited size classes in May, the department embraced the MindBody platform as its online class reservation system. Now, eight months later, the MindBody app powers class reservations for the 145 weekly complimentary Group Ex classes.
"We often hear that members like the new reservation system. They like knowing they’ve got a guaranteed spot in class and that all their equipment will be set-up, properly sanitized, and ready-to-go.” says Steven Elizondo, Group Ex Manager and department point person for all MindBody questions.
TOP THREE MINDBODY TIPS:
- Members can book one class 6 days in advance. Steven does an audit, and any additional classes the day before are subject to removal.
- However Members can book a second reservation, the day of.
- Confirm class reservations on your profile, located in the bottom, right-hand corner of the app.
- If your schedule changes, it’s never too late to cancel your reservation. Go to your profile, and simply hit cancel and confirm.
Embracing the latest partnership with technology, the new OVERFLOW classes will be held in the Basketball Court and remotely expand the audience for classes that consistently reach studio capacity. Look for more information about our OVERFLOW classes soon.
While technology has played a significant role in delivering Group Ex classes to Members, the foundation of the Group Ex department remains its fabulous team of warm and wonderful human instructors!
