In this article, we'll cover:

- How to use and modify pre-designed email templates.
- How to select which of your members will receive emails.
- How to send yourself 'Preview' emails, and send member emails.
Background:
Rather than sending manual emails or using a third-party emailing platform, SimpleGym enables you to design and send marketing, scheduling, survey, and retention emails to your gym members via the Communications page in your SimpleGym portal.
SimpleGym's Communications portal enables you to select specific groups of your members to send emails to, use pre-designed email templates, or create your own communications from scratch.
Eligibility:
Communications is a standard feature, included on both SimpleGym's Free Plan and SimpleGym Pro.
Steps:
To send members an email from your gym, first…

Select Email Recipients: Select which of your gym's members will receive the communication.
To: Select the group you want to send the message to (All Members, Active Members, or Inactive Members).
Subset: To send the communication to only a portion of the group you've selected, select a subset. To send to the entire group, send "Not Applicable".
