Hey guys,
I was wondering how organized your gyms are. Specifically:
- does your gym have a set curriculum?
- how does your gym track attendance? pen and paper? card reader? not at all?
- how does your gym communicate with it's members? online bulletin board or intranet? mailing list? facebook or twitter?
- how does your gym handle fees? automated withdrawals? online payments? cash in an envelope?
The reason I'm asking is that I'm planning to develop a web service that'll let owners manage their gyms completely online, that is, set curriculums, track attendance, communicate with members, handle invoicing and payments, etc.
Here in South Korea, gyms are pretty old school. No curriculum, pen and paper book-keeping, sporadic communication, fees paid in white envelopes. Generally, this doesn't bother me, but sometimes I wish my gym was run a bit more professionally. This pain point is what inspired me with this idea.
My last question is for gym owners or those who've thought about starting their own gyms: is the service I described something you'd be interested enough in paying for?
