Applied Fitness Solutions Boosts Efficiency and Client Engagement with Volt

Applied Fitness Solutions enhances individualized coaching, increases efficiency, and improves client engagement with Volt’s customizable platform and AI-powered tools.


The Challenge of Time-Consuming Custom Programming

Applied Fitness Solutions (AFS) is a fitness and athlete performance facility that provides individualized coaching for various fitness goals, including weight loss, improved health, stress reduction, and athletic performance. Initially, AFS prescribed custom programming manually via Microsoft Excel, which was time-consuming and diverted efforts away from direct coaching. This method of programming and tracking loads was inefficient, prompting AFS to seek a more streamlined solution.

Why AFS Chose Volt

AFS decided to switch to Volt for its enhanced customization, data storage capabilities, and client-trainer communication tools. Volt's platform provided a more efficient way to manage client programs, enabling AFS to focus more on coaching and less on administrative tasks.

I think the thing I appreciate most about Volt is their constant desire to improve the app and listen to feedback. They’re always quick to respond and genuinely interested in my concerns and suggestions.

The Results

Since implementing Volt, AFS has seen substantial improvements in various aspects of their operations:

Although many clients do not have a thorough understanding of the nuts and bolts of prescription and how much Volt helps us on the backend, they are often blown away by the high-definition videos, tips, cues, and ease of tracking.
