Club OS is a dedicated sales and marketing automation platform built specifically for the fitness industry. It bridges the gap between generating a lead and signing a new member. Unlike general CRMs, Club OS understands the rhythm of a gym business, offering tools that are pre-configured for membership sales, personal training follow-ups, and retention campaigns.
The platform provides a centralised location for all lead and member communications. It integrates directly with most major gym management software (like ABC Financial or Mindbody), meaning your sales team can see exactly who has checked in, whose membership is expiring, and who is a fresh prospect, all in one dashboard. It automates the “grunt work” of sales—sending texts, emails, and setting tasks—so your staff can focus on building relationships.
For our clients, Club OS is the engine that drives membership growth. We implement it to ensure that every single person who walks through your doors or visits your website receives a consistent, professional follow-up sequence. It removes the reliance on individual staff memory and creates a systemised sales process that delivers predictable results month after month.

FAQs
Can I use it without other gym software? You can, but its real power comes from the integration. It is designed to sit on top of your billing provider (like ABC or Mindbody) to handle the communication they don’t do well.
Does it support UK texting? Yes, Club OS supports SMS features. We can configure it to use local numbers so your messages look personal and local.
Can it replace Mailchimp? In many cases, yes. It has robust email marketing features. However, for extremely complex design-heavy newsletters, some clients still prefer dedicated tools, but for automation, Club OS is superior because of the member data integration.
Is it easy to learn? The interface is designed for sales staff, not IT experts. It is very task-driven (e.g., “Call John today”),making it easy for new hires to pick up quickly.
How does the waiver work? We set up a digital waiver on an iPad at your front desk. When a prospect fills it out, their data goes instantly into Club OS as a lead, triggering a “Thanks for visiting” text automatically.
