April brought four major updates to PushPress, all designed to simplify operations, strengthen connections, and create exceptional experiences at your gym. From Rank Tracking for martial arts academies to major Staff App updates and refreshed member tracking, these features are here to help your fitness business work more efficiently and thrive.
Rank Tracking for Martial Arts Academies
Core
Martial arts academies thrive on progress and discipline. That’s why we’ve developed Rank Tracking, a built-in feature to customize belt systems, track promotions, and celebrate student achievements.
What’s new?
Customize your rank systems to reflect your discipline with flexible belt structures, allowing full customization of belt names, colors, and criteria. Ensure clear promotion paths by defining advancement based on time at rank, attendance, or specific manual requirements. Manage your students effortlessly with streamlined student management—track, promote, and celebrate their progress without the hassle of spreadsheets or timecards.
Plus, belt tracking is built into PushPress Core, with upcoming member-facing visuals in PushPress Grow and the Members App.
Who this helps:
For Martial Arts Owners: Showcase discipline while managing progress without administrative headaches.
For Coaches: Keep students motivated with transparent rank tracking while celebrating their milestones.
Staff App Improvements
Staff App
We’ve given the Staff App an upgrade that’s all about helping your team work smarter, not harder. This update empowers coaches and front desk staff to focus on what matters most: creating meaningful member connections.
What's new?
The new Member Profile within Staff App provides quick access to key member info, consolidating details like membership plans, workout stats, and notes all in one place. Staff can also easily identify sales opportunities by viewing membership details at a glance, helping Coaches deliver a high-touch experience and effectively upsell memberships.
Classes also saw love, with a more intuitive design, visual icons make it easier to track trial memberships, celebrations, and updates, creating more personal and impactful interactions.
Who this helps:
For Coaches: Knowledgeably welcome new members, and encourage long-term memberships with insight-backed support.
For Owners & Managers: Drive engagement and revenue by equipping your team with tools for flawless member interactions.
People List Refresh
Core
Managing your contacts, including staff, leads, and members, is now more streamlined and faster. Our new sorting and filtering capabilities make navigating lists a breeze, saving time for tasks that matter most.
What’s new?
Access your gym’s contacts with one click, then navigate seamlessly between members, leads, and staff tabs for a confusion-free experience that loads in less than a second. We’ve focused on enhanced search, sorting, and pagination to quickly find what you need, and take advantage of streamlined bulk actions like emailing, SMS texting, and downloading with a new checkbox feature for handling large groups efficiently.
Who this helps:
For Admins - Save hours on daily tasks with tools designed to reduce complexity for gym operations.
For Coaches - Quickly review member lists and access relevant data with seamless workflows.
Pro-Rating Plan Purchases
Core
Streamline billing by letting members choose their start date, automatically adjusting payments, and setting a consistent billing day for everyone.
What’s new?
With automatic pro-rated payments, plans adjust automatically for mid-month sign-ups, ensuring members only pay for the days they use. Members can also enjoy control over their start dates when purchasing a plan, giving them flexibility. Alternatively, for smoother account management, you can opt for consistent billing cycles, aligning all members to a single billing date, such as the 1st of the month.
Who this helps:
- For Owners/Admins: Reduce billing confusion and ensure transparent processes for your members.
- For Members: A hassle-free, transparent billing experience builds trust and satisfaction.
