Gym Management Services for the Education Sector

Our services include:

For existing facilities

"Could your school be using its fitness facilities to generate income?"

We can develop business cases to demonstrate how your gym can be developed and programmed to generate additional income. Most schools have traditionally benefited from a range of sporting facilities on their site. However, whilst these facilities might be used extensively during the school day, it has sometimes not been possible for them to be used as much outside of the school day by members of the local community.

This can be for a number of reasons. Sometimes the mix of facilities isn’t right or there is alternative provision in the local area. Other times it might be that the school does not have the infrastructure in place to manage an extensive lettings and bookings programme. This might include staffing to oversee activities, take bookings or even proactively market the facilities.

3d can work with schools to identify how facilities can be opened up and used by members of the community in an extended dual use new programme outside of school hours.

Key elements of our management are:

• Quality management systems (QMS) – We have developed a complete range of QMS enabling facilities to operate effectively, efficiently and safely
• Staff – highly trained, quality staff that have an excellent approach to customer service
• We aim to develop a healthy culture and “credo” within the school and the local community
• We ensure the facilities become embedded as a focal point at the heart of the local community
• 3d constantly develop new and exciting programmes to meet the demand for sports and recreational leisure and actively engage with all types of people
• We aim to promote and support curriculum services
• We offer vocational services for students and local community members
• We offer sports management qualifications
