Your gym chain’s tech team. Without hiring one.
A dedicated billing platform and a founder-engineer on call for Philippine multi-location gyms — for less than the cost of hiring a single in-house developer.
90-day pilot · No multi-year contract · Your code and data, always yours
You opened a chain, not a software company.
Running 3, 5, 10 locations in the Philippines breaks every off-the-shelf option — and building in-house is a ₱2-5M/year commitment that you can’t walk back.
Spreadsheet sprawl across branches.
Each location keeps its own roster, payment list, and reminder cadence. Reconciling at month-end is three lost days of copy-paste — and no one knows the real total active membership.
Off-the-shelf SaaS doesn’t fit your operation.
Mindbody, Glofox, and PushPress can’t model franchise fee splits, branch transfers, regional roles, or PayMongo settling to each branch’s own bank account.
Hiring an engineer is a ₱200–400K/mo decision.
A senior PH developer, fully loaded — base, 13th month, SSS/Pag-IBIG, equipment, management — runs ₱200–400K/mo. And you get one person who needs a manager and quits in 18 months.
How it works
A platform shaped around your operation.
Discovery call.
We learn your operation — branches, plans, payment flow, accounting, franchise terms. You get a tailored proposal within a week.
90-day pilot.
First branch live in 30 days. All branches running by day 60. First custom integration shipped by day 90 — built around your actual workflow, not generic SaaS guesswork.
Ongoing platform + founder on call.
One Slack thread to the founder. Bug fixes within 24 hours. Feature requests scheduled monthly. Quarterly roadmap review. Same flat fee whether one feature ships this month or five.
The platform
One source of truth across every branch.
Aggregate dashboards, branch-isolated billing, branch-level PayMongo settlement. Build your chain on infrastructure that scales with locations.
Platform
Everything a chain needs. Nothing you don’t.
We don’t do class scheduling, biometric check-in, or member apps out of the box — we build them into your platform when you need them.
Multi-branch architecture
Branch-isolated members, plans, invoices, and PayMongo accounts. Aggregate roll-ups across every location you operate.
Custom integrations
POS, biometric check-in, QuickBooks / Xero, corporate wellness portals, franchise royalty splits. We build them into your platform.
Regional roles & permissions
Branch managers see one branch. Regional managers see their region. You see everything. Row-level data isolation enforced in Postgres.
Automated billing & dunning
D-7, D-3, due date, D+3, D+7 reminders. Members pay via QRPh, GCash, Maya, or card. PayMongo settles to each branch’s own bank.
Founder on the line
One Slack thread to the founder building your platform. ~40–60 hours/month of dev work against your roadmap. Bug fixes within 24 hours. No ticket queues, no Level-1 support, no engineer-who-left-last-quarter.
Your IP, your data
Export everything anytime — members, invoices, payment history. Read-only access to your platform’s code repository in your own GitHub organization on request. No vendor lock-in, no multi-year contracts.
Why chains pick us
A team and a platform, not a SaaS license.
Your money stays yours.
Every branch sets up its own PayMongo account. Funds settle directly to that branch’s bank — usually same-day. We’re tooling, not a middleman.
If GymBill disappears tomorrow, your member roster, invoices, and PayMongo accounts are all still yours.
Less than one engineer.
A senior PH developer costs ₱200–400K/mo fully loaded — base, 13th month, SSS/Pag-IBIG, equipment, management overhead. You get one person who quits in 18 months.
For less than that, you get a platform that doesn’t disappear when someone quits, plus the founder-engineer building it — accountable on a shared Slack thread, not via a ticket portal.
Who it’s for
Built for chains. Priced for founders.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
How does pricing work?+
Starts at ₱150,000/mo for chains up to 5 locations. Additional locations at ₱30,000/mo each. Includes platform access and ~40–60 hours/mo of founder-engineer time on your roadmap. One-time onboarding fee of ₱50–100K depending on data complexity and integrations.
Who do we actually work with?+
Me — the founder. GymBill is a founder-led operation: you get the engineer who built your platform on a shared Slack thread, not a support queue. Bug fixes within 24 hours. Feature requests scheduled monthly against your hours. Quarterly roadmap reviews. If GymBill ever staffs up, your account stays with the same person.
Why not buy Mindbody or Glofox?+
Both run $300–700/mo per location with no custom development included. For 5 branches that’s ₱75K–200K/mo in license fees alone — and they can’t model PH-specific PayMongo settlement, your franchise fee splits, your branch transfer policies, or your accounting integrations. With us, the platform and the founder building it around your operation cost the same.
Why not hire our own engineer?+
A senior PH developer is ₱200–400K/mo fully loaded (base + 13th month + benefits + equipment + management). You get one person who needs a manager and typically leaves in 18 months. With us you get a platform that doesn’t disappear when someone quits, plus a founder on the line — same flat fee, same person, every month.
Can you build [our specific integration]?+
Almost always yes. POS, biometric check-in, QuickBooks / Xero, corporate wellness portals, custom branch reports, member transfers between branches, franchise royalty splits. Tell us on the discovery call and we’ll scope it in the proposal.
What if we want to leave?+
Export everything anytime — members, invoices, payment history, custom reports. Read-only Git access to your platform’s code in your own GitHub organization on request. Notarized handover commitment available — a one-page agreement (notarized at a PH notary public, enforceable under PH contract law) that commits us to transfer code and accounts to you within 30 days of written request after non-performance. 30-day notice, no multi-year contract. You take your PayMongo accounts (they were always yours) and your data with you.
Is our financial data safe?+
Multi-tenant Postgres with row-level security enforced per branch. AES-256-GCM encryption on sensitive fields. PayMongo settles directly to each branch’s bank account — we never touch the funds. HSTS and strict security headers across the platform.
How fast until we see value?+
30 days from kickoff to first branch live with automated billing. 60 days to all branches running. 90 days to first custom integration shipped. The pilot is structured so you can validate the model before the second quarter.
