Tackle Summer Scheduling and Subbing with NetGym and Mariana Tek

With summer around the corner, everyone’s plans are starting to shape up. Whether it’s heading on a vacation, kids on summer break, or taking some R&R, schedules are filling up quickly. Everyone is busy and someone’s always away – leading to a consistent and heavy stream of instructors needing subs.

The last thing fitness studio owners and managers need to stress over is their studio’s shifting schedule as the warmer months approach. Better yet, wouldn’t it be nice to go on vacation knowing your subs are all being taken care of? One can dream. We’re all familiar with the typical way of finding a sub – send a message in a group chat, only to have it lost a few days (or hours) later and end up having to chase down instructors one by one to find out if they can help. As the class date approaches and the class is still open, stress levels only rise.

Imagine a world where instructors can send sub requests for classes they need coverage for. Immediately, all eligible instructors receive a notification of the subbing opportunity. In just minutes, your sub is found and boom! Your live schedule in Mariana Tek is automatically updated.

NetGym & Mariana Tek Magic

With NetGym’s integration to Mariana Tek, instructors are automatically swapped in the live schedule once a sub is approved. This integration helps studio owners and managers regain their time, cut costs, eliminate the need for manual updates, and minimize human error. 

With NetGym and Mariana Tek, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your drink of choice on the beach, with one less thing to worry about. No more chasing down instructors or last-minute scrambles—NetGym’s integration with Mariana Tek streamlines your entire sub process, from request to confirmation. One of our customers shared

“I am finally able to go on vacation and just passively watch the subs get taken care of without me needing to step in, thanks to NetGym.”

Buy Back Your Time

Leveraging the integration between NetGym and Mariana Tek, studios can automate their sub process—from updating the live schedule to sending sub reminders, so no class goes uncovered. With an automated sub process, studio owners and managers can buy back their time to focus on what really matters—growing your business and engaging with your community … and taking a vacation anyone? With a consolidated view of all subbing, managers can manage subs on the fly and instructors can send out sub requests with a few taps on the NetGym app, freeing your team from the chains of group chats, spreadsheets, and manual schedule updates.

We’ve all had this happen, you show up to your favorite class taught by your favorite instructor, only to find out a sub is teaching. NetGym with Mariana Tek ensures that every class is covered by the best available instructor, with real-time updates to your schedule for all (most importantly members) to see. For your team, this means less stress and more opportunities to pick up extra classes, improving their earning potential and satisfaction working at your studio.
