Google meets is similar to Zoom, Skype and many other video conference facilities, you will be sent an invite by email which will contain a link to join that specific meeting, once you accept the invite, depending on your operating system, most devices will automatically add the meeting to your calendar which will also contain the meeting link. 

You can join the meeting through a variety of media devices we suggest that you simply click on the “Join Hangouts Meet” option which looks like this:

 

 

the link is available in the invite email or in the calendar item if the event was added to your digital calendar.

If you are asked to enter a “Meeting Code” it is asking for the string of letter which appears in the link after meet.google.com/(meeting code) most devices will pick this up automatically but some do not.

Digital Forms

At the Fitness Studio we are moving towards using digital forms where appropriate

Health Questionnaires

We are switching to digital forms for our health questionnaires as it is more environmentally friendly and we think it will be quicker and easier for our clients to fill out the questionnaire on line and return it plus the system will automatically send a copy of the completed form the client’s email address once submitted so each party has a copy for their own records.

To complete the questionnaire we will send you a link via email, you simply click on the link and the form will open in your web browser for you to complete the form online using a laptop, tablet or phone.
