How PTI Built a Scalable, Tech-Led Gym Experience Using MoveLab Connect
Gym & Boutique Studios
PTI is a gym chain built around a franchising model, with a strong focus on small group training that is guided by technology and accompanied by personal trainers. When they first came to MoveLab, they were using another software service, but the platform didn’t align with their vision for how training should be delivered on their gym floor. They found it limiting in terms of the flexibility they needed to evolve their concept. Their main goal was to create a more adaptable and engaging digital environment that could support their growth and unique training approach.
As Diederick, owner of PTI, put it:
“What we wanted didn’t exist. So we built it ourselves.”
To solve this, PTI implemented MoveLab Connect as the back-end infrastructure for their in-gym experience. They adopted all core features of the platform, including training plans, training plan schedules, workout storage, member storage, a booking system, and screen management. In addition, we extended the system to support data import and personalized weight suggestions based on members’ previous performance data.
At each PTI gym, the member journey is now fully digital. When members arrive, they receive a personal tablet that acts as their workout guide. The tablet not only delivers each member’s daily session, but also recommends personalized weight suggestions based on their training history. It also lets them log how they feel, with that feedback sent directly to the coach, helping members progress safely and efficiently.
"The goal was never to build 'an app', but to develop a flywheel that helps us make more and more members fit sustainably, and empowers our coaches even better. Under the hood is a scalable platform: fast, stable and ready to build on."
With this tailored setup, PTI was able to bring their concept to life in a scalable way. MoveLab’s platform enabled them to build a unique, fully connected, and franchisable fitness model with minimal upfront investment.
