3 Ways Walla’s Branded Mobile App Can Boost Your Fitness Business

Smartphones are engrained in everyday life. Endless scrolling, tapping, notifications—it’s the key to behavior in a tech-driven world, keeping consumers in the know and in touch with what matters most in their individual lives. From a favorite Reddit sub-feed to restaurant reviews, reading the news, and making hotel reservations, the average American picks up their phone 262 times a day (once every 5.5 minutes). And 88% of mobile phone time is spent using apps. As time spent on smartphones continues to increase, so does the number of apps downloaded worldwide (255 billion last year!). That makes for some crowded phone screens. While all this data is important—and not so surprising—how can your fitness studio make a positive, measurable impact with a personalized app your members will actually use sans the need for a developer? 

Walla’s all-new branded app! 

Creating and sharing a mobile app that fits your fitness business brand inherently builds loyalty, increases convenience, and improves client relationships—and, in turn, impacts retention and revenue. But what does that really equate to? How can an app deepen your studio community connection? It comes down to time, and time is a precious resource. Yes, we built Walla to save your studio time, and now we are giving you a branded resource that is all about saving your clients even more time as you leverage mainstream consumer behavior.
