The before — PT sessions on the honor system.
A gym is memberships plus classes plus personal training, and Iron Republic ran each separately. “Memberships in one tool, classes in another, and PT packages tracked on a clipboard and a spreadsheet,” says Marcus Webb, Owner. “We were basically running personal training on the honor system, and the honor system loses money.”
Members who trained at multiple locations were a headache, and package balances were so loosely tracked that sessions regularly got delivered unpaid.
$820/month across four tools. PT packages tracked on clipboards. Unpaid sessions from loose package counts.
The switch — put the package on the account.
Iron Republic unified memberships, classes, PT packages, and billing on one member account across all three gyms. Trainers now decrement a package the moment a session is logged.
“The first month we tracked PT packages accurately, the revenue jumped,” Webb says. “We weren’t selling more — we were finally counting what we sold.”

The unlock — every session counts.
With memberships, classes, and packages unified, the business stopped leaking:
- PT packages decrement the moment a session is logged
- One membership works across all three gyms
- Class bookings, check-ins, and billing share one record
- Trainers and members see accurate package balances live
When a logged session decrements the package on the member’s account, free sessions stop happening. The 95% drop in leakage was sessions the clipboard system quietly gave away.
The new normal — trainers selling with confidence.
“Trainers push packages harder now because the tracking is airtight and they trust their commission,” Webb says. “The accurate counting changed the sales culture, not just the books.”
