Supplier showcase: Orbit4 - Smart solutions

LiveWire Warrington is leading the way in revolutionising gym management by integrating digital solutions to streamline operations, reduce costs and enhance the member experience

Published in Health Club Management 2025 issue 2

Managing a leisure facility requires significant investment in equipment and maintenance. LiveWire Warrington centralises data on asset lifecycles, repair histories and supplier contracts, enabling smarter financial planning. By leveraging real-time insights, they optimise costs while maintaining high quality leisure facilities.

Greater efficiency from going digital
Digital transformation is reshaping gym operations. LiveWire Warrington utilises smart platforms to manage assets, service requests and supplier agreements in a single, user-friendly system. This ensures streamlined workflows, real-time access to key metrics, and improved operational efficiency.

Equipment downtime can frustrate gym-goers. LiveWire Warrington minimises disruptions by proactively tracking maintenance schedules and responding swiftly to service requests. A centralised system allows for enhanced visibility and faster issue resolution, ensuring members enjoy a better workout experience.

Proactive member engagement with self-reporting
LiveWire Warrington empowers members to report equipment issues via a self-service platform. This real-time reporting system strengthens communication between members and facility managers, allowing for quicker resolutions and a more engaged gym community.

Maintaining oversight of commercial assets is crucial for long-term success. LiveWire Warrington systematically tracks the condition, value, and service history of gym equipment, ensuring compliance with best financial and operational practices.

The organisation continues to set new benchmarks for fitness facility management through digital solutions and data-driven decision-making.

Mark Chew, leisure operations director, shares his experience, saying: “Orbit4 has completely transformed how we manage our gym assets and service contracts.

“The ability to centralise all our data in one place gives us full visibility over operations, making cost optimisation and efficiency easier.

“The Orbit4 team has been exceptional in supporting us, ensuring we get the most out of its innovative technology.”
