Simplify Communication with Member App Chat Messaging

2 min read Updated 1 day ago

GymMaster has introduced a message chat feature, allowing two-way communication between staff and members. The Chat feature allows for real-time communication, making it easier to provide direct support, motivation, and updates between staff and members.

Staff can now easily initiate one-on-one and group communication. If enabled in settings, members will also be able to initiate chats to their assigned trainer, sales rep, or other staff.



Members will receive chat messages as app notifications and be able to reply directly via the member portal app, while staff will see message notifications on the top right of their screen, when logged into GymMaster.
