Advertising your Personal Trainer Business with GTme
On GTme you publish your training classes or studio sessions online and then customers sign up from their phone...
GTme is an application for the fitness professional. The app allows the PT to organise customers into classes consisting of various sizes and for many different activities, with different associated prices and of differing duration. The app allows the trainer to create and place an activity on a local map which then allows customers to sign-up to that class by paying the required fee. As customers sign-up, the trainer is notified, so that the class attendance is known and the trainer then proceeds to instruct the class with confidence, knowing that all of the bills are settled in advance, and that everyone attending has a map to guide them to the exact spot where the class is being held.
GTme is a very simple application to use and either as an instructor or a trainee you should find no problem in navigating around the various functions.
The first task to carry out after downloading is to create your username and logon details:
 |
 |
Click the Register button to get your registration underway.
Select whether you are registering as a trainer or customer (trainer in this case) and then fill in your personal details to continue. Use your details from Facebook if you wish by clicking the Facebook button.
Please stick to using your real name rather than any nicknames as this will speed up the registration process and help make sure that no payments are delayed.
|
 |
 |
Make sure you use the correct mobile number in order to receive your activation text so that you can be successfully validated as a user or trainer and then proceed to the trainer details page.
We recommend adding as much data as you can in order to have your application processed quickly and to be sure that you include your qualifications and experience as these can be the sticking points with new applications.
|
 |
|
Once you have completed the form, you will receive a message that your application has been submitted and that you will be notified by email when the account is active.
Trainer applications do have to be ratified by a professional trainer so please be patient while we process your application.
Once you have received your confirmation email and successfully gained access as a trainer, you can begin to form your training session catalogue.

GTme allows you to build up your group training portfolio before choosing when the classes will actually be held, so you can get your skill sets organised prior to advertising any classes allowing you to shift various types of classes around according to popularity.
The first screen that you see after logging in as a trainer is the scheduling screen. This screen shows all currently active classes and when they are occurring over the coming weeks.
You can browse back and forth between weeks by using the arrows either side of the date indicating which week you are currently viewing.
We are going to start by adding an activity type, which we do by tapping the ‘+’ sign in the very top right of the scheduling screen. We are then presented with the create new group screen.
The first option is to choose whether the training session is indoor or outdoor |
|
|
|
Next we use the drop-down box to choose which category of training we are organising. This is a broad-stroke description and you should choose whichever best suits your session, such as stretching, weight-loss cardio etc.
You then choose the group numbers which may or not dictate the cost, depending on your trainer classification (if you are working for a larger group for instance) and then name your activity so that registrants have a clear idea what they are signing up for.
The activity also requires you to describe the equipment needed and the equipment provided so that everyone knows what to bring and what not to.
The next screen is the location screen. The location automatically locates your devices current map position and centers the map there accordingly. You can then either manually move the map or tap ion the text location at the top so that you can enter a postcode or address to center the map elsewhere.
|
 |
 |
The locations can be entered manually using various different address features allowing you to choose any venue, outdoors or indoors, for your activity so that you can host any type of activity you wish.
Once you have confirmed all of the details for the training class you will be asked if you wish to schedule the first session. In this example, we will say yes to schedule so that we can demonstrate the process. |
|
|
|
Select which date for the training first. The screen shows a week at a time and you browse back and forth through the various weeks by using the arrow heads either side of the current week date range which is situated above the weekday abbreviations on the scheduling screen.
Once we have selected the correct date range for the week in which we wish to place the training session then we click the ‘+’ sign below the appropriate day.
We are then asked to select the time for the training group to begin.
Once you have scrolled down to the desired time, confirm the selection by tapping the tick on the right hand top corner on the time selection panel.
|
 |
 |
|
The next screen allows you to choose if the slot/class is a regular class or if it is simply a one-off.
The repeating section allow you to choose up to 5 times in advance that the session will be repeated in that slot over the next few weeks.
Now fill in the number of times the class will have sessions repeated in that slot in each of the selected number of weeks
Once you have selected the number of times the weekly session will be repeated, tap the tick in the top right-hand corner of the repeating session selection panel to continue.
|
 |
|
|
Now you can tap set to continue on to the schedule screen where you can the new session in your current portfolio. If you are content with how this fits into the timetable, then you can click save whereupon the icon will change colour, indicating that the session has been confirmed fits suitably into the timetable.
