Our old gym software was expensive and confusing
Anvil Gym has been in business for over 40 years. When brothers Liam and Ethan Owens took over in 2022, they inherited a 4,000 sq ft gym across two floors in Southport — old-school equipment with a modern, unique vibe that makes the gym special.
Running the club before ClubRight was tricky, expensive and unnecessarily confusing. Their previous supplier, GloFox, offered no support, no onboarding process and only a fraction of the functionality they needed.
“No gym owner wants to spend all of their time sitting behind a computer — we wanted to be out on the gym floor supporting our members.”— Liam Owens, Anvil Gym
The software made it hard to stay up to date with members, contact them or customise membership packages — all basic things to ask from a gym management system.
Why they chose ClubRight
ClubRight stood out because of its depth of reporting and the level of customisation available. Liam and Ethan were able to customise the dashboard to see whatever key metrics they wanted the moment they logged in.
Their only worry was the data transfer — the mass of member details they needed to carry over. The thought of losing important information made them nervous. But the worry turned out to be unnecessary.
Switching was easy and stress-free
Thanks to Emily on ClubRight’s onboarding team, the process of switching over was smooth and stress-free.
Their favourite features are the message automation, sales funnel and the till. The ability to move prospects from registering interest through to signing up is powerful for the business. They’re gaining more traffic through their website because the sign-up process is so simple — generating more prospects with useful details like name, contact information and completed ParQ forms.
“We feel confident having solid software in place that our business can grow into.”— Liam Owens, Anvil Gym
ClubRight also helps them stay in contact with members through automated emails, texts or push notifications — with a full audit trail for every member so the whole team has visibility over past communications.
“If someone was ‘thinking’ about signing up to ClubRight, I’d tell them to do less thinking and more doing!”— Liam Owens, Anvil Gym
