The idea
Built around the calendar
The week is a strip of classes, and each class is a ring of open spots that fills as members book. Who came is confirmed by the coach, not the honour system.
What it does
Forge, in the trade’s own words
Book with a tap
The month at a glance, the day's classes with the coach and open spots, and credits always in view. Book, cancel and rebook in seconds; a reminder lands in the gym thread the day before.
See the plan
Open a class and read the whiteboard before walking in: movements, sets and the coach's notes. Log results and they join the record.
A record the coach confirms
Attendance is marked by the coach, not the honour system. A profile draws it as a body map: the muscles worked, and the ones not.
Flag an injury, train around it
Mark a region on the body map and the coaches see it when they plan. The injury feature only ever suggests; a coach decides.
Talk to the gym
One thread to the front desk for questions and event invites, and direct messages with coaches. With permission, the desk's first answer can be drafted by an AI assistant; say no and the staff answer instead.
Dues, packs and the shop
Memberships, class packs, drop-ins and a shop, paid through the studio's own Stripe account. Every member sees what they owe and what they have paid.
A movement library at the core
A library of movements and the muscles they work, which the whiteboard, the body map and the injury loop all draw on.
Apple Health, read-only
Connect Apple Health and workout summaries appear on the profile, visible to the member alone. Health data is never used for advertising and never sent to the AI assistant.
For coaches and owners
The same app with more tools: plan classes, keep the weekly timetable, confirm attendance, trade and cover shifts, answer the gym thread and keep the studio's books.
Who holds the phone
Three roles, one interface
The member
Book, read the plan, log results, see dues, talk to the gym.
The coach
Plan the whiteboard, confirm attendance, see who is training around an injury, cover a shift.
The owner
The timetable, the money, the thread and the settings, in the studio's own words.
How it is built
Made for the way a gym actually runs, with the calendar at the centre and everything else hanging off it. The app speaks each studio's own words for its rooms, its staff and its people, because a gym that calls itself a studio should not be called a gym.
How every Labs product is builtGood to know
- Members pay their studio directly, through the studio's own Stripe account.
- Studios sign up on the web; members download the app and join.
- Members join with the handle their studio gives them, so each studio's community stays its own.
