Elite Fitness MobilE APP

Elite

Mobile App

With the Elite mobile app on your phone, you can easily access club information sources like the Live Group Fitness Class Schedule, the Elite FPT Website, and the Schedule of Activities. In addition, the app provides new ways to communicate with groups and friends, as well as powerful new tools to support and improve your membership

TAP INTO THE CONVENIENCE AND POWER OF THE ELITE MOBILE APP

Within a couple days of joining, new members will receive an email which invites them to set up their Elite FPT mobile app account. To automatically be invited, you must be over 13 and you must have had a unique email address set up on your member account.

If you are an existing member and you would like to receive the invitation to get started, please email [email protected]. Provide first name, last name, and a unique email address for each person on your membership account for which you would like us to create a Elite FPT  app account. The email address is used to sign in and will also be set up as the individual’s member email address.

There is a lot of function which comes with the app. Even more power becomes available when you set up some additional free apps and accounts. See the directions under the individual screen tiles below to guide you through the set up. Also, check out our FAQ section near the bottom of the page if you have other questions. If you find that you need additional assistance, please email the Elite FPT App Administrator.

On an Android Device select “Profile” to see the Personal Information & Privacy section, and select “Notifications” to see the the Notifications & Reminders section. Personal Information & Privacy section –  Lets you adjust the following:
  • Username – This is your Display Name.

  • Basic personal information.
  • Units of measure.

Notifications & Reminders – Lets you select if you will get push notifications from the Elite app.

  • Vibrate (Android devices)– This will allow you to select whether you want your device to vibrate with a new push notification.
  • Note: The “Event booking or cancellation” option is not tied into our club computer sign up software so it will not notify you if you are signed up for a club event.
  • Reminders – This will allow you to select if you want a push notification reminder about your next workout (all devices) or  a break reminder (iPhone and iPad). You can select when you will receive the notification.
Rest Periods – Allows you to set the rest periods between sets and exercises. Tooltips – Allows you to turn off the tips which appear within the main Elite app. Audio – Allows you to turn off or on sounds heard when playing a workout.

You will now see the Privacy settings. These settings mostly define with whom you will share your app information. A few important notes:

  • The Elite app website has different names for several of the settings. These names are in parenthesis. They adjust the same things.
  • Select on the name of the setting to see the options.
