Booking built around your week
Classes, courts, one-to-ones, whatever you actually run. You set the rules once and the system follows them. No fighting a dropdown that doesn't have your option in it.
Your own system.
Under your own name.
Weeks, not months.
Booking, memberships, payments, check-ins. One system, shaped around the way you already run things. Your logo on it, your domain in the address bar, and no software company sitting between you and your members.

Where it hurts
You didn't get into this to become a software administrator.
Pick the one that sounds like your week.
Four subscriptions. Not one of them yours.
Almost every independent gym runs the same stack. A booking app, a payment tool, a spreadsheet, and WhatsApp holding the whole thing together.
- You're still at the desk at 10pm, writing down who signed up today and sorting out next week's classes.
- Members book through an app with someone else's logo on the front.
- The schedule lives in one place, the payments in another, and the real member list lives in your head.
- Want to change how something works? You ask a software company for permission. The answer is usually no.
- You pay every single month for a tool that was never built for your gym.
The part nobody talks about
Half-empty classes and quiet hours aren't a marketing problem. They're a you can't see it problem. Once the system knows who's drifting and which slots never fill, that's revenue you already had sitting there. How much depends on your gym, so we won't throw a number at you.
Your courts. Someone else's platform.
The big booking apps bring you players and take a cut. They also keep the relationship, and they advertise every other club in the city on the way in.
- Players book your courts inside an app that shows them the club down the road too.
- A slice of every booking leaves before it ever reaches the club.
- Season passes, guests, club nights and payments each live somewhere different.
- Weekday afternoons sit empty because nobody's nudging players to fill them.
- You can't see, in one place, who plays every week and who quietly stopped coming.
The part nobody talks about
Off-peak courts are the whole game. A club that fills its dead hours and keeps its own commission is running a different business from one that doesn't. Same courts, same coaches. We'd rather look at your actual booking pattern than guess a percentage at you.
You bent your coaching to fit the app.
You picked a platform, and then you reshaped how you coach around what it lets you do. That's backwards, and you already know it.
- Your programme has to fit their template instead of the template fitting your programme.
- Clients log in and see another company's brand before they see yours.
- There's a hard ceiling on how many people you can carry before check-ins start slipping.
- That ceiling is what's capping your income. Not your coaching.
- The platform takes its cut, sets the rules, and changes them whenever it feels like it.
This is the real reason to do it
Lift the ceiling and the maths changes completely. When check-ins, plans and payments handle themselves, the number of clients you can actually coach well goes up, and that's income you couldn't reach before. How far it goes depends on your programme and your prices, which is exactly what we work out on the call.
What we build
One system that does the boring parts on its own.
Every build ships with all of this. There's no tier where you get less.
Members and payments together
Plans, renewals, cards that fail, people who drift off. It charges on schedule, retries what bounces, and tells you who needs a nudge before you'd have noticed.
Your name on everything
Your domain in the address bar. Your logo on the login screen and on every email that goes out. Members never see the word Forgekit anywhere.
QR check-in
People scan and walk in. The front desk stops being a queue, and you get a real record of who came, when, and how often.
We move your data across
Members, plans, payment history, whatever your current tool will let go of. We do the migration. You don't touch a spreadsheet.
Training, recorded once
One call where we walk your team through it, recorded and handed to you. Your next hire watches the video instead of asking you the same five questions.
Your members get it on their phone from day one. Home screen icon, push notifications, nothing to download. If you decide later that you want a real App Store and Play Store app, it gets built on top of this system instead of starting over. We scope that when you're ready for it.
How it goes
Three moves. No mystery in the middle.
01
45 minutes
We map it
You talk about how the place actually runs. We ask questions and take notes. No slide deck, no pitch, and nothing to prepare beforehand.
02
2–4 weeks
We build it
You get the exact go-live date in writing before a single line gets written. Short check-in each week so nothing drifts and nothing surprises you.
03
Launch day
It goes live
Your domain, your members already moved across, your team trained. Then two weeks of us on hand while everyone settles into it.
The deal
Half up front. Half the day it goes live. If it isn't doing what we agreed, you don't pay the second half, and we keep working until it does.
That's the whole risk, written down before anything starts. No lock-in, no minimum term, no clause underneath it waiting to catch you out.
Live example
This is the thing you'd log into every morning.
Not a screenshot. Pick your business and look around. The names and numbers are invented, everything else is exactly how it works.

Read this bit
This is one example, not a template. Yours ends up looking different, because it's built around your business. Different panels, your words on the buttons, the numbers you actually care about. What you see here is a fraction of what we can put in, and the system keeps growing after launch. Whatever you add in month six sits on the same build instead of becoming another subscription.

Straight answers
The questions everyone asks.
You don't take it on faith. Half up front, half the day it goes live, and if it isn't doing what we agreed you keep the second half and we keep working until it does. Before any of that you get the exact scope and the exact go-live date in writing, in plain language, so there's nothing to argue about later.
Two to four weeks from the deposit, and you get the exact date in writing before anything starts. Where you land in that range depends on how much the system has to handle. We'd rather tell you four weeks and hit it than promise two and miss.
If your current software does everything you need and carries your name, don't switch. Seriously. Most owners we speak to are paying every month for something that fits them roughly, forces them to work around it, and puts another company's brand in front of their own members. That's the gap we build into.
We move them. Members, plans, payment history, attendance, whatever your current tool will export. It's part of the build, not a line item. You won't be asked to clean up a spreadsheet at midnight.
The system runs properly on a phone and your members can pin it to their home screen, icon and push notifications included. Most never ask for more than that. When someone does want a real App Store and Play Store presence, it's a second phase on top of the same build. We scope it then, because the store side runs on its own timeline and we're not bolting that onto a date we've already given you.
We do. Two weeks of support are included after launch, which is when things actually come up. After that we're still reachable, and anything new gets added onto the same system rather than bolted on the side.
Because you're paying for the build and nothing else. There's no sales team, no offices, no investor to pay back, and no monthly licence quietly funding somebody's marketing budget. Two builds a month keeps the work focused instead of spread thin across ten projects. The price moves up over time, so what you're quoted now is what you get.
