Virtual tours for gyms, clubs, stadiums and leisure centres
Show new members the gym floor, the pool and the changing rooms before they join, and show fans and hospitality guests the view from their seat before they buy.
In short
A sports or leisure virtual tour links 360° photos of your facilities, from reception to the pool, so people can look round on your website before they join, book or buy a ticket. A button in the tour sends them to your membership or ticket page. Making the tour in Panoramr is free; hosting it without Panoramr’s branding costs from £36 a year, in a Vault of up to 36 photos.

How clubs and venues use a tour
Win new members
The gym floor, the classes studio and the pool, seen before the first visit: fewer nerves, more sign-ups.
Sell the view from the seat
Fans and hospitality guests stand where they would sit, before they buy the ticket or the box.
The clubhouse and the course
Golf, tennis and sailing clubs show the clubhouse, the bar and the first tee to new members and visitors.
Hire out the space
Halls, pitches and function rooms shown to the teams and companies who hire them.
What to photograph
Shoot at a quiet time, with every light on and equipment tidy.
How to take the photos- Reception and the way in
- The gym floor, from its centre
- Studios set up for a class
- The pool, the spa and the sauna
- Changing rooms, when empty
- The view from the stands and the hospitality boxes
- The clubhouse, bar and terrace
- Courts, pitches and the first tee
Two ways to get the photos
A tour is a 360° photo of each space, linked together. Who takes them is up to you.
Hire a professional
A 360° photographer shoots each space and hands you the photos. Many build the whole tour in Panoramr too, and hand it over to your account, ready to publish.
Take your own
With a 360° camera and a tripod, one press takes a whole room. Export the photos from the camera’s app and upload them.
What sports venues use most
Booking and shop buttons
Join now, book a class, buy tickets: a button in the top menu or a link in the scene.
How it worksVideo in the scene
Play a class or match highlights on a screen in the photo, or in a window.
How it worksFloors and areas
Group the spaces: Gym, Pool, Clubhouse, Stadium, so visitors go straight to theirs.
How it worksFloor plan with a live map
Upload a floor plan and pin each room on it. Visitors see a small map in a corner, with a cone that shows which way they are looking.
How it worksTurns by itself on a screen
Turn the view slowly on the screen in reception while nobody touches it.
How it worksVisitor numbers
Each tour’s Analytics tab counts its unique visitors, and Global Analytics adds up all your tours. Search engines’ robots are not counted.

Link the rooms
Add hotspots so visitors can walk from one room to the next, and add text, pictures, video or a floor plan where they help.

Questions

Yes. Take a 360° photo from each stand or box and link them, so fans compare the views.

Can it play on a screen in reception?
Yes. Autorotate on Idle turns the view slowly. Panoramr has no kiosk mode that moves from room to room by itself.
