Software that wasn’t fit for purpose

Before getting started with ClubRight back in 2016, managing Old Iron Works’ database of members was a challenge. The previous software was clunky and simply not fit for purpose anymore. After using the old system for a while, it became clear the provider had no intention of updating the software with newer, faster features.

Adrian struggled to collect Direct Debits accurately and on time, keep membership details up to date, and the marketing tools weren’t useful for gaining new members.

Why Old Iron Works chose ClubRight

Adrian knew ClubRight’s founder from the fitness industry and heard he had created his own gym management system. After a demo, the team was impressed with how agile the system was — simple to use, efficient, and the best value they’d seen from different providers.

“Although we knew we wanted to get started with ClubRight after that initial demo, we were a little worried about importing our member data from the old system — but ClubRight made it a smooth process despite our previous provider dragging their heels.”

Delighted from day one — even six years on

ClubRight’s payments process has been revolutionary for Old Iron Works. The gym takes payments faster and members find it much easier to purchase memberships and classes. The membership base has grown and the gym is earning more money.

The Member App has reduced admin significantly — members book themselves onto classes and renew their own memberships. On top of the practical benefits, ClubRight’s reports tab provides in-depth analysis of how the club is performing.

“For such a small monthly price, you’re getting exceptional software that’s built by people that know the industry and unrivalled customer service. It genuinely has transformed the way we operate.”
— Adrian Francis, Old Iron Works

Adrian is emphatic about the value. He recommends booking an online demo to find out why he believes ClubRight is the best gym management software out there — and he should know, having used it for more than six years.
