TeamUp Online Classes
To improve our online offering, we are introducing TeamUp. This is a new piece of software designed to make booking and attending online group exercise classes that much easier. With TeamUp you will be able to browse and book classes directly from the website using a sign in system. There is an easy signing in process that will take a few minutes to complete to register as a user.
After booking onto a class, TeamUp will send you a Zoom attendance link via e-mail. A reminder will be sent closer to the classes start time, meaning you will not have to search for meeting ID’s and passwords before each class.
Please note that TeamUp allows you to book up to a week in advance.
We fully expect TeamUp will ease some of the frustrations that come with working out online and make it easier for members to enjoy the classes they love from the comfort of their home.
Online classes will be free to members. If members wish to participate whilst choosing to keep their membership suspended, after the 6th April then the class fee will be £3.50 which is payable online.
If you have any queries then please email gym@wellingtonfitness.co.uk and we will be happy to help you.
