The problem at independent gyms
24/7, staffed 12/5
Members train at 5am and 11pm. The desk is staffed for a fraction of that.
Generic protein vending
Operators drop a fridge full of shakes and leave. No day passes, no bookings, no account.
PT booking by WhatsApp
Trainers filling diaries by message. Sessions unpaid until they happen.
Day pass friction
A visitor at the door at 6am and nobody to sell them a pass.
What we stock
A gym planogram with protein, supplements and training kit. Pre-workout and caffeine products are reviewed against the 2027 rules; no high-caffeine energy drinks in any planogram.
Every gyms planogram is agreed with the club before install, then tuned from sales data. The club side of the machine (fees, check in, sign ups) sits on the same screen as the stock.

Why it works here
A crowded search market. We win on software, not on protein.
sites are the target: the software (day passes, PT booking) is what a fridge full of shakes cannot do.
Positioningand 11pm are when the desk is empty and the machine is not.

Gym questions
How is this different from a protein vending operator?
They sell shakes. We sell shakes and day passes and PT bookings and class check in, on a member account, connected to your gym software.
Does it work with Glofox?
The Glofox integration is in development. Until it is live we describe it honestly as in development.
Can it sell day passes at 6am?
Yes, once access control or the gym system is connected: pay, get a QR, through the turnstile.
What about pre-workout and caffeine?
Products are reviewed against the 2027 under-16 rules. No high-caffeine energy drinks; caffeinated supplements only where the site is adults-only.
Can trainers take bookings on it?
Yes. PT slots and prices per trainer, paid at booking, reconciled to the trainer or the gym as you prefer.
What does it cost?
Depends on the model: fully managed revenue share, lease or purchase. No prices are published until approved.
