Difficulty: Hard
The Problem
Rigid scheduling systems create significant friction for both gym owners and members. Inflexible booking processes make it difficult for members to fit workouts into their busy lives, which directly impacts retention. Gyms struggle with capacity management, lacking tools to effectively detect member check-ins, monitor class booking limits, and alert staff during peak hours. This creates bottlenecks that frustrate members trying to access classes they want to attend.
