April, what a month you were. A month that will always remembered for at-home workouts, Tik Tok dance videos, and a consistent rotation of cotton attire.
However, amidst the chaos, our remote team stayed busy supporting customers, generating helpful COVID-related content, and improving our software.

Before hopping into April’s updates, we have an exciting opportunity to share! On May 12th we are hosting The UPLIFT Roundtable – a conversational webinar with industry leaders to explore re-opening best practices for sports and fitness businesses.
The webinar will have two parts – the first will focus on key business areas impacted by COVID-19, while the second will concentrate on how to come out of COVID stronger than before.
Visit the UPLIFT Roundtable registration page for all of the details!
Without further ado, read more about our product updates below, and if the saying stays true, cheers to May flowers!
April 2020 Product Update
In this release:
Speed and Stability Enhancements
Our engineers have been grinding to complete the Front End Liberation! We are excited to announce that we have completed Phase 1 of this large project and it’s showing immediate results!
The results of this big milestone include a faster experience moving between pages with fewer hard page refreshes, helps overall stability, and reduces bugs. This is very noticeable for mobile usage and slow internet connections!
Fix-It-Friday
In the quest to make a more stable and reliable product, our engineers have begun dedicating one Friday out of each month to Fix-It-Friday.
Most of these “fixes” include: smaller user experience enhancements, minor visual adjustments, and other lingering bugs that can hinder the customer or client experience.
In our the first Fix-It-Friday, our team pushed 9 small effort, big impact improvements!
New "Best Practices" Webinar Series
We have started a “Best Practices” webinar series to increase feature adoption, learning resources, and overall NPS score by showing customers how to get the most out of the software.
The webinars cover a variety of topics and use cases when using the software. After the first few webinars we will open them to the public for those interested in seeing the benefits of Upper Hand in a non-personalized environment! Stay tuned.
