This is to something close to my heart—small-town gyms.

Small town local gyms can be a beacon of light, energy and health in small communities, bringing people together through fitness. But here's the twist: I’m here to tell you about the sweat and iron that goes into running a gym. I’m going to share my secret that can make your life so much easier—a way to manage your gym almost effortlessly.When I am asked about how I make money with a gym in a smaller community I love telling this story. Imagine you are lounging on a beach in Bermuda, a piña colada in hand, while your gym runs itself back home. I do it... and the way is available to all.

Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it’s not. With Kinect software, you can make this a reality. This isn’t just any gym management software—it’s a game changer. It's the only software I can find that has a smartphone app door access feature that is native to the full software suite. This allows you members to access the fitness centre with their phone eliminating the need to have staff to manage tedious gym key fobs. It takes your gym from being a local secret to the go-to fitness hub in your community.I do understand the idea of opening a small gym can feel like a lot, especially when you're worried about whether your town is big enough to support it. But I’m telling you there’s a solution that makes managing your gym nearly effortless. I’ve been using it for years. It’s called Kinect.

Run your gym 95% passively

This easy to use tool allows you to run your gym 95% passively, no matter how small or large your town is.

Here’s how it works:

Kinect integrates seamlessly with your gym setup, empowering your members to manage their own memberships. Prospective members can find your gym online, explore a virtual tour or photos, and register themselves in just about 12 minutes.

  1. They sign waivers,
  2. Set up a payment method, and
  3. Choose their membership,
  4. GE\et theor acces app and credentials... all on their own.

Once they’re done, they’re ready to start working out, and you haven’t had to do a thing. Kinect is a monthly service that’s priced reasonably, especially when you consider the workload it eliminates for you. The only two reasons I need to go to my gyms are to work out or tidy up the place, and restock the bathrooms and sanitizing stations. It’s really that simple.

Speaking from experience—I own two gyms myself—I’ve seen that small-town gyms can attract about 50-80 members per 1,000 population. That’s pretty incredible when you think about it. And the best part? With Kinect, you can manage everything from your phone, no matter where you are. Whether you’re on a beach in Bermuda or just relaxing at home, you can oversee new memberships, track revenue, check who’s working out, and even control gym access remotely. You have complete control, all from your pocket.

Kinect is a fraction of the cost of other big gym management software out there. The game changer is the included built-in door access system. So you won’t need to go hunting for a third-party solution and no managing key fobs.

If you’ve been worried about how to make your gym a success, Kinect it what helped me most. It allows you to focus on what really matters to you: helping your community get fit all while enjoying the freedom to live your life.
