End of an era for Jonas Leisure’s veteran sales manager Bryn Whales
After almost two decades meeting incredible people across the leisure industry, Jonas Leisure Sales Manager Bryn Whales will soon be calling it a day.

Over the years of owning or managing your fitness business, you’ve worked hard to build a team of reliable, capable, and (quite frankly) irreplaceable employees. The last two years though have shown that finding and retaining amazing staff is almost impossible across a range of industries, including gyms and leisure centres. There’s a lot of turmoil in the industry, and many quality staff are opting for positions where they can work from home and enjoy a more flexible work lifestyle.

From reporting on performance to counting stock and updating pricing, there’s plenty your fitness business needs to do to prepare for end of financial year. The key to making it run smoothly is knowing exactly what you need to do in your leisure centre software to make it a breeze.

The world is slowly waking from its forced COVID-19 hibernation, with people venturing out and seeking a degree of normalcy – albeit with some precautions. Recreation and leisure centres are the ideal hub for satisfying both our craving for human contact and our need for physical exercise, yet these same hubs suffered greatly under the pandemic’s heights, with many forced to let team members go during extended periods of Government restrictions and lockdowns.

Customers are at the heart of any product heading in a positive direction – and that rings true for us at Jonas Leisure. Our customers and your needs are at the forefront of everything we do as a business and the path we see ourselves embarking on. Your feedback has always guided the development roadmap for our products so we wanted to give you a platform where you can have a seat at the table and have your say.
