CRM Software
CRM Software (Customer Relationship Management Software) is a digital tool that helps gyms and fitness centers keep track of their members and daily operations. Think of it as a smart address book that does much more - it stores member information, tracks attendance, manages membership payments, and helps staff communicate with members. Popular examples include Mindbody, Glofox, and Zendesk. This software helps gym staff focus more on helping members and less on paperwork. When someone mentions CRM in a fitness context, they're usually talking about these all-in-one systems that handle both member relationships and basic business tasks.
