Can staff use their seat in the gym we already pay for?

Yes. Each person tells the intake that they train in a gym and what equipment it has, and their programme is filled with exercises that suit it. If they move gym or start training at home, the AI coach can propose an equipment change, and the updated programme takes over once they confirm it.

Is a coaching seat cheaper than a gym membership?

That depends on the gym. A seat costs between €375 and €500 a year with VAT included, depending on the size of the pack, and it pays for the plan rather than the building. It can sit alongside a membership, and on its own it covers people who train at home or outdoors.

What about staff who will never go to a gym?

A seat works wherever someone trains. The intake offers a commercial gym, a home gym, outdoors, or bodyweight with no equipment, and the programme is built from the answer, with warm-ups, easy-pace cardio and food targets in the same plan.

Will we know who is using the benefit?

Organisation admins see who has been invited and who has accepted, because that is how seats are managed. The report adds group figures, such as how many people were active in the past month, with anything below five people held back. How often any one person trains or checks in stays with them.

A corporate gym membership, and the plan to go with it

A corporate gym membership pays for access to a gym, usually at a negotiated or subsidised rate, and what happens inside is left to each person. TriageFit coaching seats give each person a coached plan for training, food and recovery, built around the gym they already use or the kit they have at home. The company sees who holds a seat and participation as group figures, and nothing about how anyone uses their seat.

A corporate gym membership is often the first benefit an employer reaches for. It might be a discounted rate at a gym near the office, a contribution towards whichever gym each person picks, a pass that opens a network of gyms and studios, or a room with some equipment in the basement. Each of these pays for access, and what people do once they are through the door, and whether they are still going by the spring, is mostly left to them.

The usual shapes of a gym deal

Most corporate gym arrangements fall into one of four kinds. A negotiated rate at one gym or chain is simple to set up, and it suits a team that works from one building near a good gym. A contribution towards any gym lets people keep the one they already like. A network pass covers many gyms and studios on one subscription, which suits people who travel or live far apart. An on-site gym removes the journey altogether, at the cost of the space, the equipment and its upkeep.

All four buy the same thing, which is access to a place to train, and the programme, the progression and the reason to keep going have to come from somewhere else.

Where a membership runs out

A membership card does not tell anyone what to do on a Tuesday evening with forty minutes and a sore knee. Someone who has trained for years usually makes good use of it. Someone new to lifting, someone coming back after an injury or someone who finds a busy gym floor daunting can sign up, go a few times and drift away, and a gym scheme rarely has anyone whose job is to notice.

It also reaches only the people who will go to a gym. Staff who train at home, who would rather run, or whose shifts fall outside the gym's opening hours get little from it, and a team spread across towns needs a gym on the scheme near each person for the benefit to mean anything.

What a seat adds inside the same gym

A TriageFit seat is a full coaching membership the company pays for. Each person completes an intake of about thirty minutes, which records where they train and what equipment is there, and their programme is built from it in phases our coaches designed, four to six weeks long and cycling for as long as they train. Every exercise comes from a library of 382, the main lifts have video, and each session has a warm-up matched to what it trains.

So the person with the membership arrives at the gym with a session to do, the sets and reps for each exercise and a record of what they lifted last time. Easy-pace cardio is planned around the lifting, their calorie target is matched to their metabolism and their macros adjust each week, and sleep and recovery sit in the same plan.

Coaching between visits

Once a week each person checks in, which takes a few minutes, and a coaching message about the week comes back within seconds. A real coach reads the same check-in, so a run of missed sessions or a knee that keeps flaring is in front of a person. Between check-ins the AI coach answers at any hour and can move a session, shorten one, or swap an exercise for one that suits the equipment in front of them, and each change is a proposal the person confirms.

For people who never go to a gym

The intake offers four places to train: a commercial gym, a home gym, outdoors, or bodyweight with no equipment at all. The programme is built from the answer, so the person training in a spare room with a pair of dumbbells and the person at the gym on the corner each get sessions that suit where they are, and anyone who changes where they train can ask the AI coach for an equipment change.

Keeping the membership and adding seats

A company with a gym deal it likes can keep it and add seats alongside. Someone on the scheme tells the intake what their gym has, and the programme is built around those machines, racks and dumbbells, so the hours spent there follow a plan. Seats can go to the people who want one, and they also reach the staff who were never going to use the gym.

An engineering firm with a gym deal

Say an engineering firm in Galway already pays towards memberships at a gym near its office, and the HR lead suspects most of them go unused after the first few weeks. The firm buys 25 seats, sends the invitations and tells staff in its own announcement that taking one is optional and that it sees only the roster and group figures. A site engineer who joined the gym in January and had stopped going by February accepts a seat, tells the intake which equipment the gym has, and gets three sessions a week built around it. After a week of early starts, the site engineer rates sleep and energy low at the check-in, and the next week is rebuilt around that. A month in, the firm's report shows how many people finished the intake and how many were active in the past month, and names nobody.

What the seats cost

Seats are bought as a pack for twelve months, with VAT included, and the price per seat depends on the size of the pack: €500 a seat for 10 to 24 seats, €450 a seat for 25 to 49 seats, €415 a seat for 50 to 99 seats and €375 for 100 or more. The smallest pack, 10 seats, comes to €5,000 for the year, and 25 seats come to €11,250. Payment is by card, or by SEPA direct debit when the pack is billed in euro. Seats can be added during the year at a pro rata charge, and the count can come down at renewal.

How to start

The calculator on the business page prices a pack before anyone signs in. Packs of up to 50 seats are bought online and the portal is ready once checkout completes, and a larger team uses the enquiry form, where a real person replies by email. A wellness stipend set against seats weighs an allowance against the same seats, and corporate fitness programmes shows a whole team training on them.
