Fitlinxx Internet Web Sites for Health Clubs

FitLinxx Offers Clubs A Quick and Easy Way To Build Websites

While club managers' core skills lie with running a business and fulfilling a charter of bringing fitness to their members, it's difficult to internalize the esoteric terms of hits, personalization, HTML, hyperlinking, search engine optimization and the like.

Luckily there's an easier way to get a state-of-the-art website up and running fast. It's called FitLinxx customized websites, the same folks that brought you FitLinxx Systems and FitLinxx Networks. The offering grew out of a much grander vision that ties in the fitness data that members record with FitLinxx systems to easy access over the web. It was a natural extension to offer clubs a quick and affordable means of building branded websites quickly but not reinvent the wheel.

Template Driven

Basically, clubs can rent a website in a box. The FitLinxx custom website is completely intuitive, menu driven, and template driven. What that means is that you can have a branded site using your logo, but you follow a standard format for navigation and page layout. The good news about this is that you don't have to be a usability expert; you just have to post your relevant club information and let the engine do the rest.

Don't worry about not knowing HTML, the system reads English. Just update your copy, upload an image, like a recent photo, and hit "submit", it's as simple as that.

Search Engines

As mobile Americans move about, they will become more and more savvy about using the web search engines to find clubs in their new hometowns. However, staying on top of the ever-changing sorting algorithms for search engines can be a daunting task at best. FitLinxx solves the problem by optimizing their own site, FitLinxx.com, and then providing their own directory of clubs powered by their engine. If you do a search on fitness clubs you'll notice that FitLinxx's name appears very near the top.

Snow Days are coming

For those clubs in the snow belt, the weather can be a challenge. When it's questionable whether the club will have to close, the phone generally starts ringing off the hook. What better way to relieve the strain on the front desk than to quickly post the opening status on your front page. With the password, and two fingers, anyone can update simple copy changes. Your front desk staff will love you for it. As will those members that didn't bundle up and slip and slide all the way to your club only to find it was closed.
