The position represents an important milestone in a new era of growth, investment and innovation for Virtuagym in the Spanish fitness and health industry
Thursday, 22nd August, 2024
Virtuagym, provider of a leading All-in-One software solution to over 9,000 fitness and health businesses globally, has underlined its commitment to the Spanish industry by hiring its first Country Director, Jesús Risueño.
Based in Spain, the role will be central to Virtuagym expanding its local presence and supporting even more customers looking to enhance their business efficiency and member experiences via Virtuagym’s automated coaching and management technology.
This represents the start of an exciting period of growth and investment for Virtuagym in Spain, with the company already working with brands such as Fitness Park Spain, HolmesPlace and Blue Fitness Gym. Following a period in which it has achieved a 40% year-over-year growth, the aim is to increase this to 60% over the next 12 months.
As a priority market for the company, Virtuagym also plans to open its first Spanish office in the near future - to be headed by Jesús Risueño - and to triple the size of its Spanish team. This is part of a wider plan to further bolster its strong customer support and personalised services to customers of all shapes and sizes, helping them to be more efficient and profitable.
“I am extremely proud and excited to be driving such an important period for Virtuagym in Spain, a country that has one of the fastest developing fitness industries in Europe,” commented Jesús Risueño. “This represents our dedication to being closer to our Spanish customers and partners, as we continue to work towards creating a healthier and happier world through our technology.”
Hugo Braam, CEO & Co-Founder of Virtuagym, added: “With extensive global sales experience and over 5 years employment with the company, we are extremely pleased to have Jesús overseeing this important stage in the growth of Virtuagym in Spain.
“We see real potential in the Spanish market, with so many fitness clubs, studios and trainers really investing in the power of digitisation to transform their businesses. We are more dedicated than ever to keep playing our part in helping these organisations with our leading software for business management and digital coaching.”
Since its founding 15 years ago, Virtuagym has become a partner of over 9,000 fitness businesses worldwide. Its growth goals in Spain fit the company’s ambition to become a global leader in fitness technology. With many organisations still using outdated software or not using any digital tools at all, Virtuagym sees significant growth potential in Spain and beyond.
As it continues to enhance its All-in-One solution, Virtuagym has invested heavily in developing its powerful Business Management platform. In this year alone it has released its new Business Analytics solution to support data-driven decision-making and launched a new scheduling system with work hour registration. Furthermore, a brand-new check-in tool is soon to be officially launched, along with Virtuagym Pay, its first fully integrated online payment solution for more automated billing and invoice collection.
