Tasks

3 min read Updated 17 days ago

Tasks streamline your team’s workload by handling routine actions automatically behind the scenes and assigning the right jobs to the right staff.
Staff tasks create a clear, organized to-do list, so your club runs smoothly, no steps are missed, and your members get a consistent, professional experience.

While all tasks are created from the same system, Tasks created can be broadly separated into two groups;

Note GymMaster comes with a list of Preloaded Tasks which can be activated once details are complete.


Automated Tasks

Set and Forget

Automated tasks run quietly in the background; no staff action needed. Once created, GymMaster can take care of things like sending emails, SMS reminders, updating access allowance, and more. These tasks are triggered by member activity or key events and are perfect for saving time and reducing admin.

Use Automated Tasks when task is predictable and actionable within the system; no staff involvement is required.


Task Example Automated System Action
New Member Onboarding Send welcome emails and book orientations
Payment Reminders Keep members informed about upcoming or overdue payments
Class & Appointment Reminders Reduce no-shows with automated reminders
Birthdays & Milestones Celebrate member birthdays and achievements
Membership Renewals Remind members when their membership is due for renewal
Lead Follow-ups Alert staff to contact prospects who’ve shown interest
Feedback & Surveys Request feedback after classes or events

Staff Tasks

Personal Touch

Use Staff Tasks when personal action is needed; like following up with a lead, checking in on a member’s progress, or prepping for a session.
Think of them as a smart to-do list that keeps your team organised and on track.

These tasks can be;

  • Created by GymMaster: Based on key events or member actions; use an automated task to create a staff oriented task
  • Created manually by staff: To assign a job to a specific staff member.

Use Staff Tasks when staff response, judgement, or preparation is required


Task Example Staff Action
Follow-ups Assign staff to call leads or check in with new members
Feedback Resolution Create tasks to respond to member feedback or concerns
Member Requests Assign tasks for special member needs or service requests
Session Prep Remind staff to prepare spaces, equipment, or resources
Tours & Orientations Staff to guide and welcome new members
Recognition & Rewards Set tasks to celebrate member milestones
Event Coordination Assign roles and responsibilities for upcoming events
Equipment Maintenance Schedule regular checks or repairs on club gear
