Lyons Consulting Group Develops Sleek Site for Blink Fitness

Steve Susina • November 10, 2012

CHICAGO, IL – Blink Fitness, a modern, yet affordable fitness company, proudly announced the launch of their new site, www.blinkfitness.com.  BlinkFitness’ custom site was developed by Lyons Consulting Group, the premier eCommerce design, development and support firm, to specifically allow full-service options for Blink’s clientele.

Blink Fitness isn’t like every other fitness chain. They offer high-end cardio and strength training equipment, modern locker rooms and showers, and a variety of fitness programs, personal training services and a front porch to relax and socialize – but all of this at a fraction of the price. What makes Blink different is their commitment to service and detail and membership is only $20 per month.

Blink’s business model is unique in that almost all of their business, 97%, is done online, allowing for low overhead and low membership fees, and making the need for a high quality and easy to use website even more critical. 

“Our goal is to provide fun, fast and affordable fitness,” said Jeff Grayson, CIO of Blink Fitness. “We needed to make sure our site was as effective as possible, meanwhile showcasing our brand and our distinctive features. In working with Lyons Consulting Group, we have achieved just that.”

To give Blink Fitness clients the full gamut of online services, Lyons Consulting Group developed several key features for www.blinkfitness.com including:

  • Easy to use account management, allowing users to sign up for membership, and allowing clients to update their profiles, billing information, and to process membership payments
  • Integration with Blink Fitness’ backend systems to deliver real-time results for membership retention rates and revenue
  • E-newsletter subscriptions allowing clients to sign up and receive upcoming news, class schedules and reminders automatically
  • Search capability giving clients the option to search for the closest fitness location with complete club information including maps and directions
  • Incorporated the “Refer A Friend” program with full tracking capabilities including web and SMS/TXT capabilities to capture member referral
  • Test memberships with configurable messaging, duration and expiration date

“This is about building a relationship with a new audience,” said CEO and Founder of Lyons Consulting Group, Rich Lyons. “Blink has such a unique business model and we made sure that the site functioned in a clean and sophisticated way.”

The site was launched in February 2011 and Blink has already significantly surpassed their Q1 membership goal
