Boutique fitness, the market segment in which small gyms exist, comprises a 35% share of the $27 billion dollar annual fitness industry (source). For you, that means a virtually limitless market for your business to expand into, but at the same time that means you face plenty of competition. In order to compete with all the other players—large gyms, medium size gyms, studios, and instructors like you—you need an edge.
fitDEGREE is the all-purpose gym management, fitness scheduling, and membership software that provides you with the tools you need to give your members everything they need. It’s common knowledge that the most difficult part of running a studio is keeping your membership numbers up. That’s where fitDEGREE shines.
fitDEGREE is a smart, agile, and most importantly RESPONSIVE company, with an outstanding dedication to customer service. The intuitive nature of the user experience from both a client and staff end is head and shoulders above all the competition I have used/researched. I strongly suggest fitDEGREE for studio schedule management, not just because they meet your needs now, but because they are willing to listen and find out what your needs are going to be and work to meet those too. FitDEGREE isn't just a software solution, they are a new team member.
