Expanding GO fit’s global reach through Italian and English fluency

Discover how Preply Business addressed GO fit's language learning needs and has become an integral part of its employee development and global communication strategy.
Susan Everist

GO fit is a chain of fitness clubs operating across Spain, Portugal, and soon expanding into Italy with three new locations. With a workforce of over 1,000 employees and a customer base of 200,000, their mission is to inspire individuals, families, and communities to develop a more active, healthy and sustainable society.

Challenge

In the coming years, GO fit is planning significant international expansion, especially in the Italian market. For this reason, they need to prepare their teams for this new professional challenge, including improving their English and Italian.

Conducting meetings, establishing partnerships, and developing processes in a new country are all important projects that must now be done in either Italian or English (rather than Spanish). That’s why mastering these languages is an essential step towards GO fit’s growth and international expansion.

Solution

GO fit was looking for a training platform that would allow employees to learn English and Italian in a flexible, easy-to-use manner. Preply has helped them achieve this objective thanks to its features:

  • A flexible model that allows studying from anywhere and at any time of the day.
  • A variety of teachers who adapt to the level and experience of the student.
  • A Corporate Dashboard to track employee engagement and evolution.
  • Constant support from a Key Account Manager, always ready to help and find the best solution.

Thanks to Preply, 45 GO fit employees have notably improved their communication skills in both English and Italian. This improvement not only supports the company’s international expansion efforts by making them more proactive and confident in this transition but also enables them to tackle various professional challenges that come their way. 

With a 67% increase in the average number of lessons scheduled per month since the program’s inception in May 2023, GO Fit has exceeded 314 classes taken in a single month, showcasing a highly committed and satisfied group of learners.

Ultimately, Preply has contributed to delivering business success by enhancing employees’ competence in their roles with greater language fluency.
