Introduction
Perfect Gym allows you to contact your club members via SMS. This feature can be useful i.e. when you want to inform your club members of changes in the club opening hours, special price offers, or any other similar type of event. If you are interested in the price range of such messages, this article is for you. The total costs of text messages sent will be attached to your invoice for the Perfect Gym system licenses.
- This article includes information on the SMS price range.
- This article will be helpful to PG Champion, Administrator, Finance and Accounting, Club Manager, Marketing Manager and Club Owner.
Mind that the prices can be negotiated only in the case of large clients. You can consult it with the Perfect Gym Billing Team.
Before you start
If you are interested in sending text messages to your club members, contact the Perfect Gym Support Team, ask for activation of this feature and provide them with the name of the SMS sender - max. 11 characters and the phone number for test message, which will be sent after the setup is completed.
Please be aware that we can set up only one Sender Name for one company database, so if you have two or more clubs added, please pick a more general one.

Hints
- Things to remember: the character limit is 153 including spaces without special characters. If the message consists of special characters only, the limit is 70. However, please keep in mind that one special character (e.g. emojis) consists of two or more characters, most commonly equal to six regular ones.
- A message longer than 153 characters can be sent as one (up to 10 times a regular message). A message longer than ten times a regular one will be divided into multiple messages.
If you exceed 153 characters the SMS will cause multiple SMS charges per 153 characters sent
- If you want to send text messages to a large group of people, go to the PGM -> Marketing -> Newsletter -> Messages and click on the Create Newsletter button.
- If you need to check the number of sent SMS, there is a dedicated report in PGM: Go to Sent text messages.
