How Vertical SaaS Is Taking Over Independent Gyms and Fitness Studios

Episode notes

Episode 50 of Vertical SaaS with Fexingo dives into the fitness industry. Lucas and Luna explore how software built specifically for independent gyms and boutique studios is replacing generic point-of-sale systems. They break down the economics: a typical 2,000-member gym running on ClubReady or Mindbody saves roughly $18,000 annually in payment processing fees alone, while memberships grow by automating class booking and late-cancellation fees. The hosts discuss why big-box chains like Equinox build their own software while the 70,000 independent studios in the US are the real market for vertical SaaS. Along the way, they touch on the rise of AI-driven personal training recommendations and why the fitness vertical's churn rates are lower than in other SMB software segments.
