Project Goals
Healthworks fitness centres are a boutique gym and fitness chain which originated in Brisbane. Starting in 1986, Healthworks has grown from one location to twelve across South-East Queensland specialising in a more intimate and personalised approach to gym and training. The team at Healthworks in Hendra approached Neighbourhood in early 2019 to design and develop a new website that aligned with their brand and could automate their online sign-up process.

Identifying the problem
The Plan
- Website Design & Development
- API Integration
- Sales Automation
Website Design & Development
- Hendra Healthworks' old website was dated and they did not believe it reflected Hendra or the surrounding suburbs. When updating the design of the website we knew it had to be clean, modern and it had to do its job of attracting and capturing new members.
- The result is a new website that is functional, stylish and a strong reflection of the Healthworks brand.
API Integration
- A major challenge we faced was integrating Healthworks' recurring debiting system, Debit Success, with WordPress and having it function correctly. The issue was that it had to be set up in the form of a weekly subscription but flexible enough to allow members to add features into their cart at the click of a button such as Pilates or Creche.
- This is a feature that previously was not possible while using Debit Success and WordPress. Our in-house developer team found a solution, which resulted in a new seamless way for members to completely customise their subscriptions with no need for sales assistance.
Sales Automation
- Hendra Healthworks wanted to put a focus on new members signing up online. The old website had a signup process that was a little clunky, it didn't flow and meant a salesperson would still need to reach out to the potential customer to confirm details and finalise the subscription. Using the design of the new website to help the process flow and with the integration of Debit Success, Neighbourhood was able to deliver a new system that required no need for sales team intervention. This update has fast-tracked sign-ups and lowered their customer acquisition cost.

From start to finish the new website was rolled out within four weeks which produced quicker results than your average 8-week challenge. Now with a quality website and lead generation strategy implemented, Hendra Healthworks is spending more time selling to new customers, more time doing what they do best in the gym and less time prospecting.
"The Neighbourhood team really helped our club scale up to be one of Brisbane's best Health Clubs. Our leads are able to now sign up to our gym online without having any member of the sales team get involved. We are now seeing a steady amount of leads come in month to month which has attributed to the growth in our club. I would highly recommend Neighbourhood, they have been great to work with and always had return on investment in mind when coming up with our game plan."
Conclusion
The new website has allowed Hendra Healthworks to align their brand and marketing with their offering. The new member sign on process has allowed the cost of sales staff to be reduced and they are seeing 30 new members month on month. Hendra Healthworks have been so happy with their new website that we are now in the works of updating the remaining of the Healthworks group websites across eleven locations. We've also been working on some lead generation for the Hendra gym, managing their Facebook Advertising, their Google Ads and remarketing.
