Our take

Understanding how a business engages with its customers is essential for optimizing profits and scaling the brand but this can be difficult with non-digital businesses such as in-person fitness gyms. Fitness businesses may want to boost their brand by improving their overall customer experience, and this is made significantly easier with customized digital business tools.

Glofox provides business management software for businesses in the fitness sector, helping them to scale and retain their brand and revenue through customizable tools. The company provides its software for gyms, fitness studios, classes, and other facilities, providing flexible pricing options to aid businesses of any size through marketing, sales, management, member experience, and retention features.

Business management tools are nothing new and fitness-specific solutions already exist, but Glofox stands out by taking a customizable approach, providing solutions for any fitness business of any size. Furthermore, the all-in-one nature of the software allows users to manage all areas of their business and brand, preventing them from having to use fragmented and convoluted software stacks.
