Fitness, gamified

The AFL is designed to boost participation, retention and engagement among gym members and PT clients — building a committed community through squad formation and friendly competition.

Inclusive by design

A golf-like handicap system means everyone can compete regardless of age, weight, height or sex — no categories needed, just an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, whether lifting weights, running or on the ski erg.

The Six rating, explained

The league now sits alongside The Six, Archon's rating app built with Gymshark. Members complete eight tests spanning strength, power, speed, capacity, endurance and conditioning, using familiar kit — the bench, the bar, the rower, the ski erg and the treadmill. The app turns the results into a single number, adjusted for age, height, weight and sex, so a fifty-year-old and a twenty-four-year-old can be compared fairly. Members can record their attempts in the app, see where they are weakest and share a rating card.

Leagues for gyms and universities

Archon also runs the Gym Fitness League and the University Fitness League — the same idea applied to whole sites rather than individuals. Gyms enter teams and are ranked against other gyms, which gives a club something to rally members around beyond a January challenge. The app itself is free for members to download, so you can test the appetite before committing to a season. Ratings and leaderboards also give staff something concrete to talk to members about on the floor.

How it connects with ClubRight

Members form squads and compete season-long, with a handicap system for fair competition across ages and abilities — the season finale is held at Gymshark's Lifting Club.

FAQ

Archon and ClubRight

Does Archon integrate with ClubRight?

Not directly. Archon is a supplier ClubRight works with and recommends, rather than a system that passes data back and forth with the platform. Only a small number of ClubRight Connect partners are direct integrations, and their pages say so explicitly. If that distinction matters to what you’re planning — particularly with hardware — ask before you order.

What does Archon do?

Gamified team fitness league.

Do I have to use Archon to use ClubRight?

No. Nothing in the ClubRight Connect directory is a requirement and nothing is tied to your account. Use your own supplier if you already have one — the directory exists to save you the research, not to steer you.

Does ClubRight charge extra for this?

No — ClubRight doesn’t add a fee for a partner being listed or connected. Whatever Archon charges for their own product is between you and them. Nobody pays to appear in this directory.
