Gym Plus

Founded with a passion for fitness, Gym Plus operates seven health and fitness clubs in Ireland, from Ashbourne to Swords, with a mission to offer top-tier fitness services and expert training advice. 

Gym Plus prides itself on providing high-quality fitness experiences, from personal training sessions to a wide range of fitness classes. With over 400 classes per week and more than 200 employees, managing operations across multiple sites while maintaining a high standard of service was becoming increasingly complex.

The challenge of managing shift scheduling, time tracking, and employee performance, combined with ensuring compliance, led Gym Plus to seek a more efficient solution. HR Duo’s integrated platform helped streamline operations, making it easier to manage staff and enhance the overall member experience.

  • Employee Performance Management
    Managing performance reviews and professional development for their large team of personal trainers and support staff was becoming increasingly complex.
