The living flow

Follow a member through the machine

This is the actual pipeline, live in production. Red is the path a new member travels; gold is the loop that keeps them training month after month.

The modules

Eighteen modules, zero seams

Each one earns its place; all of them share the same live data.

๐ŸŒ Public Website

The shop window that actually sells.

  • Offer landing pages: free trial, Muay Thai course, women's-only, summer classes
  • Live schedule with real seats left, FULL badges & waitlists
  • Book and pay in a minute: courses, special events, women's memberships, single classes, vouchers
  • Real seat locks with timed holds; scarcity shown only when it's real
  • SEO, schema & GA4 wired in

๐ŸŽฏ Growth Engine

Every enquiry from every source. One pipeline.

  • Instant auto-reply + staff lead alert
  • Stages: New โ†’ Contacted โ†’ Booked โ†’ Member
  • Every lead shows its whole journey: contacted, paid, trained, member. Paid and trained update the stage on their own
  • Email & SMS from the card, full timeline, inbox sync
  • Google reviews on autopilot: happy regulars get one polite ask, a few a day, plus a scan-to-review screen in the gym
  • Instagram and Facebook from the front desk: photos, designed promo cards and video Reels, posted now or scheduled

๐ŸŽ“ Warrior Mindset Schools

The schools programme, run properly.

  • School enquiries from mindsetwarrior.academy land in their own pipeline: new, contacted, visit booked, converted
  • Cohorts, parent consent, medical info and attendance per school
  • Kept fully separate from gym members and leads

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Gym App (desktop)

Mission control at the front desk.

  • Members, rolls, attendance, reports
  • One-tap payment reconciliation
  • Self-updating via release channel

๐Ÿ” Staff Web Portal

The whole gym app, from any browser, full parity, by law of the house.

๐Ÿฅ‹ Grading

Belts and grades, tracked instead of guessed.

  • Per-discipline ladders: BJJ belts, kickboxing, kids tabs, Muay Thai Khan progress grades
  • Ready, Close and Not yet lists built from real attendance since the last award
  • Coaches award from their phone; every grade lands on the member's record

๐Ÿ‘‹ Sign-in Kiosk

Members check themselves in.

  • Regulars quick sign-in (last weeks' attendees)
  • NFC keyfob tap-in ยท day & payment rules enforced

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง Family & Members

Parents run their family from one login.

  • Self-service parent signup, children auto-linked
  • Bookings, attendance, payment status
  • Multi-day kids on one flat membership

๐Ÿ’ณ Payments

Stripe subscriptions, one-off checkouts with webhook confirmation, Apple & Google Pay, gift vouchers. Every payment lands on the member record, not a spreadsheet. A paid course place books all six weeks onto the coach's roll by itself, and anyone who only wants one Saturday buys that week on its own at the drop-in price, with the roll showing which week they paid for. Turn up on the day without booking and staff take the drop-in on the roll itself, cash or card terminal, one tap, recorded like any other payment. Members run their own payments from their login: pay by card, set up monthly billing or a standing order, see the family's history, cancel without a phone call. Card renewals record themselves and portal requests land on the desk app's home screen. Someone trains but the payment gets missed? The desk sends a WhatsApp pay link and the money books itself against that exact session.

๐Ÿง  Smart Coach

The big screen runs the class: full-screen Class Mode with timed blocks, an exercise stepper the coach taps through, birthday shout-outs, a Warrior of the Day crowned from the coach's phone and put up on the big screen with a staff fob tap, and the phone as the remote. After a PT session the coach taps what was covered and the recap writes itself, ready to edit, straight into the member's login. Technique clips too: an adult member opts in with one QR scan on the mat, the coach records short clips, and the member watches or deletes them in their own login. Circuits classes get their own board: the coach types the circuit on their phone and the whole grid fills the screen, with a work and rest clock that runs the room. After a kids class the coach opens the roll on their phone, scores each child's session and leaves a note, and the parents see it in their own login. The kiosk updates itself overnight.

๐Ÿค– Atlas AI Coach

AI chat and training plans in the member's own login, switched on by membership type. It knows what the coach has each member working on. Quick Reps puts the Smart Coach camera on the member's phone: prop it up, it counts squats, push-ups and swings, and the set saves straight into their training history. All vision runs on the phone, no video is ever uploaded.

โœ‰๏ธ Comms Engine

Authenticated email (DKIM), SMS with a daily-cap circuit breaker, welcome & reset flows, bulk-safe.

๐Ÿ’ฌ WhatsApp

The gym's WhatsApp number, run properly.

  • Enquiries answered in seconds by an AI that knows the real timetable and prices, and hands over to a human the moment it matters
  • Booking confirmations and next-day class reminders, one message per family, not one per child
  • The churn radar: a regular goes quiet for two weeks while still paying and gets one friendly check-in before they drift away. Capped at one per member per quarter
  • Staff inbox with the full conversation history; opt-outs and quiet hours enforced on every send

๐Ÿซ Schools Programme

Cohorts, sessions and dashboards for school partnerships: separate login, same engine.

๐Ÿ’ท Finance

QuickBooks-light behind a PIN: bank imports that learn their own categories, monthly money across every revenue stream with the paying-member mix, P&L, coach pay from classes actually delivered, vending profit after stock. A live break-even board shows who really pays, with one family payment counted across the whole linked household, and exactly how many members the gym needs. A Stripe view pulls every card payment straight from Stripe, fees included, and flags any subscription payment the records missed.

๐Ÿ•น๏ธ Warrior Games

The kids arcade on the big touch screen. Blue team against red team with two slam buttons on the mats: relay races, reaction battles and tug of war, with scores, sounds and a winner splash. Every game is a drill in disguise, and the whole class fills a season-long progress bar together. Runs on the gym PC even with no internet and updates itself from the web.

๐ŸฅŠ Coach 1-1s

A shared mat diary for the coaches: phone or the gym PC, both mats, clash-checked against classes and each other. When the gym sends a coach a personal training lead from the website, the coach books the slot and the client gets a card pay link on WhatsApp. Paying confirms the session, the money splits between coach and gym automatically, and the payout owed to each coach sits in Finance with a settle button. Coaches' own clients stay their own business.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Analytics

GA4 traffic tile on the dashboard, internal surfaces filtered out. Decisions on real numbers.
