Founding Partners Wanted: A Gym Management System Built for Small and Growing Gyms

Running a gym usually means running it from a spreadsheet, a chat app and the front-desk owner’s memory. Who paid this month, whose class pack has run out, who is booked into Thursday’s class, who has not been seen in three weeks. None of it is hard, but all of it is tedious, and it falls apart the moment you add a second instructor.

SimpliGym is a gym management platform that puts memberships, class booking, payments tracking and a member app in one place. We are now opening a founding-partner program for the first gyms and studios who want to run on it.

This post covers what you get, what is not listed, and how to join.

Who this is for

• Small gyms and studios (yoga, pilates, boxing, CrossFit, personal training) that have outgrown a spreadsheet.
• Growing gyms with several instructors, a class timetable and more members than the owner can remember.
• Operators with international members, where multi-language support matters.
• Multi-branch operators and franchises that need one view across locations.

What is live today

These come from the product as it runs now.

• Member management. Memberships, attendance tracking and personalised workout plans for each member.
• Membership types. Monthly subscriptions, class packages, day passes, and automated renewal reminders.
• Class scheduling and booking. Timetables with instructor management, and members can book from the app. Notifications go out by email or in the app.
• A member app for iOS and Android: book classes, track progress and watch video content.
• Real-time progress tracking so members can see their own results.
• On-demand workout videos through Vimeo, which also supports virtual classes and online coaching.
• Member engagement. Welcome messages, personalised messages and promotions.
• Payments. Payment tracking is included from the Basic plan up. Payment history, invoices and promo codes are part of the product, and online or in-app payments connect to a payment gateway. Which gateway you need is something we confirm with you.

Under the hood, the member app is built with Ionic and Vue.js, and the backend runs on Django and PostgreSQL.

What is not listed, so you can plan around it

• The page does not name specific payment gateways or local payment methods. If you need a particular one, say so early and we will confirm it.
• Door access, turnstiles, wearables and other hardware are not listed as features. If you need them, we scope them as separate work rather than assume they exist.
• Multi-language support is part of Pro, not Basic. Which languages your members need is something we agree in scoping.
• Basic is capped at 50 active members.
• There is no public demo. The way to evaluate it is the free trial, requested by email.
• Roadmap items are marked as roadmap in your proposal. We do not sell features that do not exist as if they do.

What founding partners get

• A free trial before you commit.
• A scoped proposal that separates what exists today from what would be new work.
• Priority onboarding for your first gym.
• A direct line to the engineers who built it, in Bangkok time, by LINE, WhatsApp, phone or email.
• A say in the roadmap. What we build next is shaped by the first gyms who run it.

How to join

1. Tell us about your gym: how many members, how many instructors, how many branches, and how you take payment today.
2. Start the free trial and look around.
3. Get a scoped proposal, then decide.

FAQ

Do my members need to install an app?
Booking, progress tracking and video are in the member app for iOS and Android.

Can I sell class packs and day passes, not just monthly memberships?
Yes. Membership types include monthly subscriptions, class packages and day passes, with automated renewal reminders.

Can I run several branches?
Multi-location management is part of the Enterprise plan.

Can members pay online?
Online and in-app payments connect to a payment gateway. The gateway is confirmed with you in scoping, since the product page does not name one.

Is there a fixed founding-partner discount?
We do not publish one. Terms are scoped per partner. Standard pricing is in the table above.

Where is member data kept, and what about privacy law?
Hosting is agreed in the proposal. Member records can include workout and progress data, so privacy obligations such as Thailand’s PDPA are worth raising in the first conversation. Ask your own legal adviser how they apply to you.
