MOVING FROM PAPER BASED PROCESS
CrossFit Glasgow is a well-established CrossFit affiliate, having served the fitness community in Glasgow over the last 16 years. Over the years, the gym has expanded significantly, growing from a single space with 120 members to three spaces with over 500 members. As the gym continues to aim for 1,000 members, effective management of operations and member experience has become increasingly critical.
Initially, the gym relied on manual and paper-based processes for member management, which proved to be time-consuming and inefficient as the business grew. After experimenting with several solutions, CrossFit Glasgow found the ideal fit in WodBoard, a gym management software that has significantly streamlined their operations and enhanced the member experience.
For the first 2-3 years, the gym managed its operations using pen and paper, manually checking member attendance and verifying payments via internet banking. This labour-intensive process took several days each month, leading to inefficiencies.
With the growing number of members and locations, it became increasingly difficult to manage the gym's operations using manual methods.
Organising events was a complex and time-consuming process, adding to the administrative burden.

"WODBOARD TOOK THE ADMIN OUT OF RUNNING MY GYM"
HOW CROSSFIT GLASGOW SCALED 3X WITHOUT THE STRESS
WodBoard gets the needs of a business like ours. Over the past 16 years, our needs have changed, and WodBoard has been really flexible, making small changes to the software to meet our needs. It has taken out all the admin of running a gym, especially events, making our lives much easier.

WodBoard allows CrossFit Glasgow to efficiently manage member check-ins and payments, automating tasks that were previously done manually. This drastically reduces the time spent on administrative work each month.
The software enables the gym to easily track member attendance, including identifying how many classes a member has been to allowing coaches to personalise sessions. Members love the ability to track progress, and see how to correctly perform movements within the app.
The platform's community feature has helped foster a sense of belonging among members, bringing together and personally connecting a large community. Additionally, the availability of daily workout information and movement videos allowed members to prepare better and track their progress, increasing their motivation and enjoyment.
Enhanced member experience
WodBoard took over the administrative tasks associated with running events, making it much easier for the organisers to plan and execute events on the day without the usual hassle.
