Snap Fitness, Chanhassen, Minnesota, has launched an Earn Your Apple Watch program in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Ireland, the company announced on June 7.
Snap Fitness has more than 640 locations in the United States and Canada, 85 in the United Kingdom, and 300 in Asia Pacific.
The program rewards Snap Fitness members for frequent visits to their Snap Fitness club and closing their Activity Rings on Apple Watch, allowing them to earn credits when they track their workouts via the Snap App. Users can earn enough credits over a 24-month period—equaling the value of a $199 Apple Watch—which can be applied as a future membership discount at their club. Credits are earned through gym visits and Activity Rings on Apple Watch being closed.
Once a member has connected their Apple Watch, the Snap App integrates the Earn Your Apple Watch program into the user interface and displays the gym visits and the user’s Activity Rings and credit values in the track section of the app. It will show monthly milestones in order to achieve the max credit.
This collaboration is a testament to Snap Fitness's commitment to investing in rewarding its members for exhibiting ongoing healthy lifestyle habits, the company said in the announcement.
"We're thrilled to collaborate with a leader in technological innovation like Apple to better support our members achieve healthier lifestyles,” said Ty Menzies, Global CEO of Lift Brands, parent brand of Snap Fitness. “It's just one of the few ways Snap Fitness has positioned itself as one of the most innovative brands in the fitness space. Not only will our members reap the benefits from Earn Your Apple Watch, [but] our franchisees will also have a new tool that works to advance member satisfaction, improve member retention and increase their membership base. It's a collaboration that benefits everyone at Snap Fitness."
