Gyms lose members because people forget about them. A simple app that tracks progress and sends reminders fixes a retention problem that costs thousands each month.

What Fitness & Gyms Businesses Can Expect

We measure success by real business outcomes, not feature lists. For fitness & gyms businesses, the key metrics are:

Member retention rate: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Class attendance: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

New sign-ups: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Tech adoption in fitness & gyms is at the medium level. About half of fitness & gyms businesses now use some form of digital tools. But most are using off-the-shelf products that only partially fit. Custom software built around your actual workflows is the next step.

Typical investment: $500-1500. Most fitness & gyms clients see measurable ROI within the first month.

How We Work with Fitness & Gyms Clients

Discovery. You tell us about your fitness & gyms business: what is working, what is not, and what you wish you had. We ask about your current tools, team size, and daily workflows.

Scoping and quote. We define exactly what we will build and send you a fixed-price quote. No hourly rates. For fitness & gyms projects, this usually falls within $500-1500.

Build. We build your solution, typically within 3-8 weeks. You talk directly to our founder and lead engineer. No project managers or middlemen.

Launch and handover. We deploy, walk your team through everything, and provide ongoing support. You own all the code and data.
