The advantages of live online classes are already well-known. Additional income and more security for your studio. More flexibility and variety for your customers. For this reason, live online classes have gained great popularity. To make the administration of your online classes even easier, we developed the Zoom integration in FitogramPro. Simply link your FitogramPro account to your Zoom account and benefit from full automation.

What is the Zoom integration?

The new Zoom integration is an interface between FitogramPro and Zoom. You can think of integration as a bridge that connects two distant places.

You probably already know Zoom: It is one of the leading software in the field of video conferencing. Thanks to Zoom, you can virtually interact with colleagues, discuss business, but also hold events – including various sports events. More than 85% of the events that are booked via FitogramPro are hosted with Zoom. But how exactly does the Zoom integration facilitate the collaboration between FitogramPro and Zoom?

So far you had to manually create an event in Zoom for each event and insert the link in FitogramPro – this is now a thing of the past! The new integration automatically creates a link in Zoom for all your live online classes 42 hours before the event starts. This link is automatically added to FitogramPro after it has been created and, as usual, sent to your participants 15 minutes before the start of the class. All you and your students need to do is click the link and enjoy the class.

Important: The Zoom integration is not a prerequisite for giving live online classes. You can also create online classes with FitogramPro without it and insert your Zoom links manually.
