If you're a gym or fitness center owner, you already know the grind: chasing down late payments, dealing with inconsistent attendance, and trying to turn one-time guests into long-term members. Here's the truth, if you're still relying on punch cards, spreadsheets, or outdated software, you're leaving serious money on the table.
In 2025, your gym needs more than just dumbbells and treadmills to thrive. You need automation, recurring revenue, and a mobile-first strategy. Subport makes that simple.
Subport is the fastest way to launch your own branded gym membership app that automates billing, tracks usage, and keeps your members locked in.
TL;DR — Key Takeaways
- Launch a custom-branded gym membership app for iOS and Android
- Offer recurring memberships, class packs, personal training credits, and loyalty perks
- Automate billing, renewals, and usage tracking
- Integrate with Square POS , Stripe, and more
- Drive consistent revenue with fewer admin headaches
The Problem with Old-School Fitness Center Management
- Revenue resets to $0 every month

- You’re manually collecting dues
- It's hard to track loyalty or offer perks
