The problem

Your best trainer is full. Your Saturdays aren't.

The class timetable is printed on a sheet stuck to the door. New members don't know how to sign up. And the monthly cancellations are always "the January thing".

What holds you back

Without a website, you're 100% dependent on word of mouth

  • 1Whoever searches "gym near me" at 7:30 doesn't find you
  • 2Bookings happen in a chaotic WhatsApp group
  • 3You don't capture leads with the free trial because there's no form
  • 4January cancellations take 30% of your members
  • 5You don't know who's showing up and who isn't, class by class
What we set up

A machine for getting and keeping members

  • Website with class calendar and 24/7 bookings
  • "Free trial" as lead magnet — the prospect enters your funnel
  • Google Business with your hours, classes and photos of the box
  • Post-cancellation automation to win back members the following month
  • Attendance dashboard — you know who's not coming and catch them in time
What's included

From website to member machine.

It's not just a pretty website with photos of the box — it's a full system that works with you at 6am and at 10pm.

Questions

What gyms usually ask us.

Does it replace Mindbody, Trainingym, Nubapp…?
Depends on your size. With <200 members, yes — what we set up is more than enough and you save the monthly subscription. With >500, better to integrate with your management software (Mindbody, Wodify, Trainingym) and use the website as the shop window + lead capture + member portal.
Can you do a mobile app too?
The website already works as an app (PWA) — the member adds it to the home screen and it feels native. A proper native app (iOS/Android) is a separate project, 3-4 months and €6,000+. Usually you don't need it: a well-built PWA covers 95% of what you'd want from an app.
We have two locations — can we unify them?
Yes — one website, two locations with their own timetables and classes. The member picks where to train each time. Unified or separate management dashboard, whichever you prefer.
What does Stripe cost on monthly fees?
Stripe charges 1.4% + €0.25 per European card transaction. For SEPA monthly fees (direct debit), it's 0.8% capped at €5 per transaction — much cheaper than card. Elev8 doesn't take a margin on top; you pay Stripe direct.
