How to run your gym & fitness business with TheCEOApp

TheCEOApp team ·

A gym earns from memberships that run out each month, plus day passes, personal training and drinks at the desk. Knowing whose membership has lapsed is where the money is.

TheCEOApp records each membership, session and sale.

Memberships and day passes

Sell monthly memberships, weekly passes and day passes as services, and see who paid and when.

Personal training by booking

Members book a training session on your service page and you get the request in the app.

The desk

Sell protein shakes, water and gloves from stock, with expiry dates on drinks.

Record every sale in seconds

Add what you sell once, for example protein shake, bottled water and gym gloves, and services like monthly membership, day pass and personal training (session). Suggestions for a gym & fitness come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.

Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the member on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.

Keep stock the way you count it

Count stock by month, session, week and piece. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the member wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. Each item can carry expiry dates on each batch and barcodes (scan to sell). You can record each product's batch number, so you know exactly what is on the shelf.
