Booking systems for gyms and fitness studios

A booking system for your gym, with classes, passes and check-in

Members wait at the desk, and platform fees grow with every new member. We build booking systems for gyms, fitness studios and sports clubs: class schedules with waitlists, memberships and passes, check-in at the door and payments, with the code and member data owned by you.

The prototype and the quote are free, with no commitment.

How does your team run it?

The team runs the club from one panel: the schedule, members, plans, check-ins and payments.

What can a booking system for gyms and fitness studios do?

You don't have to order everything at once. Start with booking and payments.

Classes and waitlists

A weekly class schedule with capacity per class. When a class is full, members join the waitlist and move up when a spot frees.

How the Time-slot generator module works

Trainers and personal training

Trainer schedules, one-to-one sessions and small groups, booked by members or by the reception.

Check-in at the door

Members check in on a touchscreen at the entrance, or the kiosk books a walk-in class.

How the Booking kiosk module works

Works when the internet drops

A small server in the club keeps check-in and today's bookings running during an outage, then syncs back.

How the Island-mode server module works

Several clubs

One system for all locations: shared memberships, per-club schedules and one view of attendance.

Payments

Card payments for passes and recurring payments for memberships, with invoices issued automatically.

When is your own system worth it?

A ready-made platform is a good start. If it does all you need, stay with it. Your own system makes sense when:

  • You run several clubs or plan to open more
  • You sell memberships, packs or company deals the platform can't express
  • Members wait at the desk because check-in is slow
  • Platform fees grow with every new member

What custom booking software includes

Compared with SaaS

What do gyms and fitness studios gain over a SaaS platform?

A platform is rented and shared. Your own system is built for you and owned by you.

  • Plans

    On a SaaS platform: Memberships and packs follow the plans the platform has.

    With your own system: Plans, packs and company deals are built the way you sell them.

  • Cost

    On a SaaS platform: Platform fees grow with every new member.

    With your own system: No per-member fees and no commission, however many members you have.

  • The door

    On a SaaS platform: Check-in depends on the vendor's app and the internet.

    With your own system: Check-in runs on your own screens, and keeps working when the internet drops.

  • Your members

    On a SaaS platform: Members belong to the platform and its app.

    With your own system: Your members, your brand and your data stay with you.
