Software for gyms and fitness studios

What breaks generic software here

The specifics a vendor demo will gloss over unless you raise them.

• Revenue is membership renewals, so churn is the number that matters
• Members expect to book classes and personal training from their phone
• Trainer schedules and class capacity need managing in real time
• Access control at the door should tie to membership status automatically
• Lapsed members are the cheapest source of new revenue and the easiest to forget
