ApproveThis manages your Everfit Integration approvals.

When Approval Red Tape Meets Client Gains

Let's cut to the chase: Your trainers shouldn't be stuck chasing signatures when they should be chasing PRs. Everfit handles the workout programming. ApproveThis handles the paperwork. Together? They automate the bureaucratic sludge that slows down client onboarding, program assignments, and membership updates.

Here's the real kicker – 84% of fitness businesses still use email chains or sticky notes for approvals. That's like loading a barbell with mismatched plates. This integration through Zapier replaces that chaos with a spotter who never flakes. We're talking automated triggers that:

• Freeze new client onboarding until managers approve
• Instantly assign programs when PT packages get greenlit
• Auto-archive clients who ghost or get denied

Why This Combo Doesn't Just "Work" – It Lifts

Everfit's the brain for training logistics. ApproveThis is the bouncer for your business rules. Connect them via Zapier, and suddenly your 12-location CrossFit franchise stops leaking revenue from unsigned waivers. Your boutique Pilates studio stops double-booking reformer machines. Your corporate wellness program? It actually scales without HR having to play middleman.

The Heavy Hitters

ApproveThis brings muscle you won't find in basic CRMs:

• Approval thresholds: Auto-approve $500以下的 PT packages, but escalate anything pricier to regional managers
• Vacation coverage: No more "Out of Office" hell – reassign approvers automatically when Head Coach is at a Spartan Race
• Client-side approvals: External partners (physios, nutritionists) can approve without Everfit logins

Three Real-World Wins (No Gym Bros Allowed)

1. Client Onboarding That Doesn't Siphon Soul

The Problem: UrbanFit Collective lost 23% of new leads because trainers took 4+ days to review intake forms. Liability waivers sat in Gmail purgatory.

The Fix: Now when clients register via Everfit, ApproveThis:

1. Freezes their account
2. Pings trainers to review medical history
3. Only activates membership after 2 managers approve

Who Cares: Gyms with high-risk populations (seniors, post-rehab), franchises needing legal compliance across states.

2. Program Assignments That Don't Require Mind Reading

The Problem: Torque Performance had coaches wasting 11 hours/week manually assigning Everfit programs after sales calls.

The Fix: When sales tags a lead as "Hypertrophy Package" in ApproveThis:

1. Zapier auto-loads the 12-week mass plan
2. Triggers supplement discount emails
3. Alerts the head coach to assign a specialist

Who Cares: Box gyms with tiered memberships, online coaching platforms upselling nutrition add-ons.

3. Archiving Clients Who Ghost (Without the Guilt Trip)

The Problem: Flex Studio's trainers clung to 200+ "zombie" clients hoping they'd return post-pandemic. Wasted $1,200/month on Everfit seats.

The Fix: Auto-archive rules when:

• No check-ins for 60 days + 3 ignored checkup Zaps
• Package expires without renewal approval
• Chargebacks occur (instant archive + flag)

Who Cares: Subscription-based models, studios with seasonal client cycles, anyone tired of vanity metrics.

Setting Up Without the Headache

We've all seen "5-minute setup" lies. This actually is 3:

1. In Zapier, connect Everfit + ApproveThis
2. Pick trigger events (new client, denied request, etc.)
3. Map Everfit fields to approval criteria (membership tier, location, PT type)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag clients who:

• Select "Previous Injury" but don't upload physio docs
• Request 5am slots when your studio opens at 6
• Book senior rates without age verification

Which Teams Stop Drowning in Spreadsheets

Sales & Onboarding

No more "I thought YOU approved them!" disasters. Custom workflows ensure:

• Contracts get legal review before Everfit access
• Free trials auto-expire (unless managers override)
• Regional managers approve discount exceptions

Coaches & Trainers

Stop playing admin and start coaching:

• Auto-assign programs when nutrition add-ons get approved
• Get escalation alerts when clients miss 3+ check-ins
• Approve equipment requests from phones between sessions

Operations & Finance

Finally track wtf is happening:

• Audit trails for every membership change
• Auto-sync approved clients to accounting software
• Denied requests log reasons (legal goldmine)

The Elephant in the Weight Room

"But our current process... works?" Cool. How many clients slipped through last quarter because Janet from accounting forgot to approve their membership pause? How many trainers quit over approval drama?

This isn't about shiny tech. It's about:

• Eliminating $12,000/month in wasted Everfit seats
• Cutting client onboarding from 6 days to 6 hours
• Making auditors actually smile during compliance checks

Spotter Included

ApproveThis doesn't just "integrate" – it adapts. Conditional approvals handle your studio's weird policies ("Approval needed if client has both a knee injury AND wants HIIT"). Email-based approvals keep external partners looped in without software tours. And the dashboard? It's where bottlenecks go to die.
