Working Conditions
No, you are still operating on your own responsibility. Sportacy just helps you and the user to connect.
Working with us is based on a non-exclusive agreement and you are free to work with outside clients and facilities as well. However, new clients that you acquired by using Sportacy can not be taken outside the platform. Taking new users out of our platform will result in termination of our services.
By using the information you provide us in your application Sportacy creates an unique profile with features for users in your area. We take care of all the marketing, advertising, bookings and more for you. We offer you a platform with endless search possibilities and many opportunities to distinguish yourself as a trainer. This – as well as our sports blogs – attracts a lot of users you will usually not encounter.
Trainer Requirements
While it is not a requirement for being listed as a trainer, we strongly recommend to have some relevant certifications in your country. You will learn new training techniques and insights & furthermore you will have more reliability in the eyes of users of the platform – which can lead to more bookings in the end.
The System
Once you have made your registration and have an account with a username and password – you are able to request your listing. When you are logged in you will notice a button with Add Trainer Profile on the right top corner of the platform. Here you can decide what kind of package and listing you want to add to the platform. Once you filled out all information correctly and your request got approved by Sportacy you will be shown on the platform.
You can add a bookable training in your listing account. Next to your opening / operating hours you can make various types of training and give them their own prices. You can make bookable time slots as well. You are free to decide how many different training possibilities you want to offer.
To make your profile more reliable you can decide to verify your listing. By doing this users of the platform will know that you are also the real person behind your listing – and not someone else who made a listing for you. Just go to the Claim Listing button on top of your profile and fill in your details to verify it is you. You will need to give as much information that can help us to verify you – as well as a copy of your passport or identity card.
You can offer your own trainings and you are completely free to decide your own pricing for these trainings.
As a trainer you want to have your reach as wide as possible and we understand that. Thus, to combine your bookings on our platform with bookings you receive on other places such as your own website, we made it possible to synchronize all your bookings with iCal. You have the opportunity to do this in your listing profile. Once you synchronized all your channels together by iCal you will have one combined calendar for all your booking platforms.
To ensure a reliable review system to our users it will not be able to delete reviews. However, you can contact us if you are sure that you received a review that is objectively false or given by someone who did never have a training with you. We will have a closer look into these cases.
You are completely free to decide your own training locations. You can decide to train users on your own facility or – a lot of times – users request you to come to them. You can give transparency about your operating locations at the Flexibility of Location field: you can chose for a Fixed Location – which is your own facility – and/or a Flexible Location (as well as the radius) – which gives users the opportunity to chose a close location.
Optimizing Your Profile
You can sign up for Sportacy by using the button Sign Up / Register at the very right top of the homepage. Please make sure you register as a Trainer so you will be able to make your own Trainer Profile later on.
Once you registered as a Trainer and you are logged into your account you will notice a new button with Add Trainer Profile at again the right top of the homepage. Use this button and choose your preferred package. Now you can fill out the form and optimize your profile as much as you like (with e.g. training information, a description, images, opening hours and even booking possibilities). We tried to make the forms as easy and clear as possible. If you still need any help do not hesitate to contact us or check our Registration Guide over here.
