RSG Group España is the Spanish business of RSG Group, a leading fitness and lifestyle company with more than 6.4 million users and brands in 48 countries, including Gold’s Gym, John Reed, McFIT, High 5, Cyberobics and Loox. From its headquarters in Madrid, RSG Group España operates 40 gyms across Spain and is digitally transforming them to deliver more immersive and motivational fitness experiences for its members and staff.

RSG Group España is digitally transforming its gyms to deliver more immersive and motivational fitness experiences. That strategy depends on a secure, high-performance network that can connect staff and customers with high-quality multimedia content and data at every location, and keep real-time applications such as video conferencing and streaming performing well while bandwidth usage shifts with business needs.

With a headquarters in Madrid and 40 gyms across Spain, the company also needed a way to roll out network configuration and policy changes quickly to existing and future sites, and to centrally manage its network in a continuously changing environment. Each gym also needed resilient connectivity. As Chantal Garicano, Head of Administration and Finance, put it, running the network with the utmost uptime and agility was imperative so the company could continue to expand its range of fitness experiences.

RSG Group España selected GTT Managed SD-WAN to connect its Madrid headquarters and 40 gyms across Spain. GTT Communications, a global cloud networking provider operating a Tier 1 internet network, delivers the service as a managed solution backed by its network expertise.

The GTT SD-WAN solution gives RSG Group España enhanced control and visibility of the traffic on its network, along with the ability to prioritize and optimize different kinds of traffic. This lets the company ensure the best performance of its business and real-time applications, such as video conferencing and streaming, adjusting for bandwidth usage in line with business needs. Network configuration and policy changes can be rolled out quickly and easily to any existing or future site, allowing central management of the network as the business changes.

For resilience, GTT’s managed SD-WAN integrates fiber-based broadband with 4G backup at each site. An advanced portal gives RSG Group España visibility across its network to manage resources and applications more efficiently and to identify and troubleshoot issues quickly.
