Revolutionizing Fitness Scheduling: The NetGym and Fisikal Integration

The integration between NetGym and Fisikal has proven to be not just a partnership, but a pivotal alliance for gyms and health clubs looking to streamline their group fitness scheduling, operations, and member experience.

The Origin of NetGym: Streamlining Sub Management & Communication 🔄

As a top cycling instructor, NetGym’s founder Danny Orlick experienced firsthand the chaos fitness studios and gyms faced when it came to finding a sub for class. Juggling hundreds of emails, mass texts, Facebook groups, and Google spreadsheets—all just to find an instructor to cover. Each gym and fitness studio had its own complicated sub policy and approval process, leading to frustrating moments like receiving requests for classes he wasn’t even certified or available to teach. His realization that fitness studios and gyms could suffer losses due to inefficient sub-management and disrupted member experiences was the catalyst to create an easier, automated solution for subbing.

With 10+ years of software sales experience and connections to top fitness studios and health clubs, Danny founded NetGym in 2016. Built for the specific needs of the fitness industry, NetGym streamlines instructor sub management and communications for fitness studios, health clubs and gyms. Supporting 1,500+ locations across 7 countries, NetGym is helping studio managers, owners and group fitness directors gain back time, save costs, and automate the subbing process.

Fisikal: Pioneering Digital Fitness Management 💻🏋️

Fisikal’ s co-founder, Rob Lander, started as a personal trainer 25-years ago, working with celebrities and high-end clients in London, specialising in training motor racing drivers. After maxing out at 50 sessions a week and with little time to focus on his diary and the financial side of his business, Rob believed that technology would be able to leverage his time better. Rob wanted to be able to automate his diary, remind clients of appointments, keep a record of all sessions and finances and support his many clients with programs and behavioral change reminders. The idea was built and Fisikalwas born.

Launched in 2011, Fisikal has evolved into a comprehensive business management software. It caters to gyms, health clubs, and boutique fitness studios across nine countries, supporting over 400 clubs and 32 brands. Renowned customers include Fitness First UK, Everyone Active, EoS and YMCAs.
