You do the easy lifting.We do the heavy lifting.

You opened your gym to coach, to build strong people and to pass on the art. Nucleus Studio carries the business side: memberships, billing, the schedule, waivers and check-in. You stay on the floor and on the mat.

One nucleus. Three kinds of strength. Every chore around it is ours to lift.

Built for three kinds of strength

One app for the barbell, the class and the mat.

Strength

Strength gyms

Members pick a goal and get a ready-made workout in sets and reps every time they walk in. They log each set, see last time's numbers and leave knowing they got stronger.

  • Ready-made workouts by goal
  • Sets, reps and PRs logged on the phone
  • Memberships that renew themselves
Fitness mindset

Fitness studios & CrossFit boxes

Keep the schedule you already run, then drop in the workout of the day. Studio emails it to your members to get them fired up, and shows it in their app.

  • Workout of the day, emailed out
  • Members log scores and PRs
  • Class caps and waitlists that fill themselves
Warrior spirit

Martial arts academies

Every student has a progress card: belt, stripes, classes since their last promotion and notes from their coach. Students see it in their app and keep their own training notes.

  • Belt and stripe tracking with promotion emails
  • Coach notes and a personal training log
  • Family accounts and kids programs
Fitness center and martial arts under one roof?Run both areas from one account: gym-floor plans, mat plans or all-access, one schedule split by room, belts on the mat side and ready-made workouts on the gym side. It's a small add-on for the second area.
Who lifts what

Keep the work you love. Hand us the rest.

Your easy liftingThe work you opened the doors for
  • Coach the class. Cue the lift, call the round, run the WOD.
  • Build the athlete. Programs, progress, the next PR.
  • Pass on the art. Technique, discipline, the next belt.
  • Grow the community. Know every name at the door.
Our heavy liftingThe business side, carried by Nucleus
  • Billing that chases itself. Cards are charged on time. When one fails, the member gets an update-card email on day 1, 3 and 7, and is flagged at check-in.
  • The schedule. Weekly classes, caps and waitlists. Cancellations and sub coaches email everyone booked.
  • Workout of the day. Drag the WOD onto the day. Members get it by email that morning and see it in their app.
  • Check-in. Any tablet becomes a front desk. Members scan their key card or tap their name.
  • Join page & waivers. New members pick a plan, sign with a finger and pay before they walk in.
  • Progress tracking. Belts and stripes, PRs, training notes and coach feedback, kept on every member's card.
  • Trials & follow-up. Trial reminders go out on their own, and you see who needs a nudge.
  • Inquiries to members. Questions from your website land on one board, get an instant reply with your Join page, and move to Joined on their own.
  • Invoices & receipts. Bill anyone for anything. They pay by card from the email; reminders go out if it's late.

⏱️

Personal trainers' week

Trainers drag clients onto their week. Sessions move with a drag, finish with a tap, and use up the client's pack. "Same as last week" fills the next week in one click.

📈

The owner's sales view

Every instructor side by side: PT sold and delivered, group classes taught, attendance, no-shows, shop — plus memberships, packs and invoices for the month.

🗓️

A calendar for members

Booked classes, 1-on-1s and the WOD in one week view. "Plan my week" lines up workouts for their goal on the days they can train.

🥤

Gym shop with quick pay

Ring it up at the desk, let members order from their phone, or set out grab-and-go on the tablet. Card on file, Apple Pay or their tab.

📍

Find equipment fast

Drop in your equipment list, drag it onto your floor map, and members find the rowers in a second. Workouts point to the right station.

🏷️

Your logo on everything

Member app, key card, tablet, Join page, invoices and emails carry your brand. A small "Powered by Nucleus Studio" stays at the bottom.

The digital key card

A key card in every pocket.

Each member's card lives in the Studio member app. The code changes every 30 seconds, so a screenshot can't be passed around, and it still works with no signal in the gym.

  1. Member opens their card. One tap from their home screen.
  2. The tablet scans it. The front-desk camera reads the code. A USB scanner works too.
  3. Green, amber or red. A welcome, or a heads-up about a missing waiver or a failed payment.

No phone, no problem. Members tap their name on the tablet and enter their 4-digit PIN. Already on their phone? They can tap Check in before they hit the mats.

Security

Your members' data, locked down.

Names, birthdays, signed waivers, kids on family accounts — we treat it like it's ours to protect, because it is.

Your own vault

Everything is encrypted (AES-256) with a key that belongs to your gym alone, and sent only over HTTPS. One gym can never open another's data.

Only your people get in

Staff passwords are stored as salted hashes, repeated wrong tries are slowed and paused, and changing a password signs out every other device.

Everyone sees their part

Manager, front desk, coach, personal trainer. Trainers see their own clients' sessions; only managers see sales and settings.

Key cards that can't be copied

Codes change every 30 seconds and work once. Members sign in with one-time email links, on two phones at most. Lost phone? One tap issues a new card.

Waivers that hold up

Every signature keeps the typed name, drawn signature, date, time, network address and a fingerprint of the exact text they agreed to.

Payments stay with Stripe

Cards are handled by Stripe on your own account. Nucleus never sees or stores card numbers. Invoice links are private to the person billed.

Your data is yours — in writing, before you start.

Our Data Ownership & Services Agreement is part of sign-up, and you get a copy by email.

  • You own it. Members, waivers, payments, all of it.
  • Never sold. Never shared with other gyms, never used to train AI.
  • 24-hour notice if anything ever goes wrong.
  • Leave anytime with a full copy, deleted from our systems within 30 days.

What kind of gym?
Questions

Good to know.

How do members pay?

Connect your own Stripe account in a few minutes. Members pay you directly by card, and Stripe sends payouts to your bank. You can also take cash, checks or your own card terminal and record it at the desk.

What happens when a card fails?

Stripe retries automatically. Studio marks the member past due, emails them an update-card link on day 1, 3 and 7, and shows a heads-up at check-in. You choose whether past-due members can still check in.

Does it handle belts and kids programs?

Yes. Set up programs like Adult BJJ, No-Gi, Kids Martial Arts or Muay Thai, limit plans to certain programs, and put a family on one account with one payer. A parent signs the waiver for their kids.

We have a gym floor and a mat room. Does that work?

Yes. Pick "Fitness + martial arts" when you sign up. You get plans for the gym floor, the mats, or both, classes split by room, belt tracking for your students and ready-made workouts for your gym members. Running two areas is a small add-on to your monthly price.

What do I need for check-in?

Any iPad or Android tablet at the front desk. Pair it with a code from Settings and it becomes a kiosk. A USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner also works if you have one.

Can I move my members over?

Yes. Add them yourself, or share your Join page so they sign up and sign the waiver themselves. Moving from another system? Request a call and we'll quote it.

Who can see our gym's data?

Only the staff logins you create, each limited to their role, and each member sees only their own information (parents see their kids'). Nucleus staff only look when you ask us for help. Your data is never sold, shared with other gyms or used to train AI.

What happens to our data if we stop using Studio?

You can export members, waivers and payments any time. If you leave, we send you a complete copy — including signed waivers — and delete your data from our systems within 30 days. It's in the Data agreement.

Can it carry our logo instead of yours?

Yes. Upload your logo in Settings → Logo & branding and turn it on. Your logo shows on the member app, key card, front-desk tablet, Join and inquiry pages, invoices, receipts and emails, with a small "Powered by Nucleus Studio" at the bottom.

Can members buy drinks and protein shakes?

Yes. Add your products and stock, then sell at the desk, let members order and pay in the app (card on file or Apple Pay), or put a grab-and-go on the tablet where members use their member number and PIN. Tabs are optional.

How do personal trainers use it?

Each trainer gets their own login and week. They drag clients onto times, move sessions with a drag, and tap Done to use a session from the client's pack. Clients get the booking in their calendar and by email. You see every trainer's week and numbers.

What happens after the trial?

Pick the plan for your size and keep going. If you don't, your account pauses, and your members and history are kept.
