Welcome to PushPress Wrapped 2025 — a look back at the wins that fueled your community, the growth that powered ours, and the momentum we built together to move the fitness industry forward.
This year’s highlights were built rep by rep, class by class.
2025 by the Numbers
2025 wasn’t just another year — it was a milestone-packed, community-powered, record-setting chapter in the PushPress story. The kind of year that proves what happens when gym owners lead boldly, members show up with heart, and our team rallies behind every rep, class, and check-in to empower your success.
From the gym owners who opened their doors for the first time, to the seasoned communities hitting new highs in engagement, the theme was the same: the PushPress ecosystem showed up for each other. Our support team went all-in, our product teams kept innovating, and gym owners everywhere stepped into their power to build spaces where people feel stronger, supported, and seen.
And the numbers? They tell a story worth celebrating.
- Total check-ins processed: 30M+
- Classes scheduled: 10M+
- Median gym revenue growth up: 13%
These metrics are moments representing coaches cheering on PRs, members committing to healthier lives, and owners building thriving communities from the ground up.

Feature Drops That Hit #1 on the Charts
Every great year has its chart-toppers. In 2025, we released over 100+ features. Here’s three that gym owners couldn’t stop talking about:
- AI — This year, AI moved from concept to reality inside PushPress. While currently in Beta, teams can now handle everyday admin through simple text prompts through our AI Assistant, cutting out multi-step workflows and menu hopping. AI is also showing up quietly across the platform, helping with reviews, messaging, plan setup, and community engagement. The focus is not flash— just time saved where it matters most.
- Martial Arts — PushPress doubled down on martial arts this year with tools built specifically for how academies operate. Rank Tracking makes it easy to define belt systems, set promotion rules, and follow student progress without spreadsheets or side systems. Invite Only Events simplified belt tests and evaluations so they run smoothly without workarounds. Students can now see their progress directly in the Members App, which keeps them motivated between promotions— offering a more complete experience for owners, teachers, and students alike.
- Tap to Pay — Selling memberships and taking payments got much easier at the front desk. With Tap to Pay and Stripe card reader support, staff can check people out quickly without sending them to a laptop or a long signup flow. Kiosk Mode makes it easy to convert walk ins and drop ins on the spot. Payments feel faster, more modern, and more natural for both staff and members. It removes friction right at the moment it matters most.
Each rollout was designed with one mission: make running your gym feel effortless.
Check out our full feature release roundup to see what else made the list this year.
Gym Owners, You Were the Real Headliners
Features matter — but they only matter if someone’s there to help you use them when it counts. That’s where our support team comes in.
This year, our team showed up in a big way to make sure gym owners never had to figure things out alone:
- Support interactions handled: 100K+
- Average response time: 34 minutes
- Customer satisfaction score: 92.5%
Behind every ticket was a real conversation, a real challenge, and a real gym owner trying to move their business forward. From first-time openings to record-breaking classes, your wins were our favorite playlist of the year — and we were proud to be in your corner every step of the way.
We Took the Show on the Road
2025 was a year of real-world connections — the kind that happens between rounds, on the sidelines of the mat, and in conversations that start with “How’s your gym doing?” and end with big ideas for what’s next.
From the heart of the CrossFit community to the fastest-growing martial arts stages, the PushPress team showed up wherever gym owners were building, competing, and leading.
- Events hosted by PushPress: 9
- Events attended across fitness & martial arts: 29
Two moments stood out in a big way:
At the CrossFit Games, we were right where our roots are — surrounded by gym owners, coaches, and athletes who embody grit, community, and performance. And at the No-Gi World Championships, we doubled down on a fast-growing martial arts community that shares the same values: discipline, consistency, and world-class coaching.
Whether we were dropping into affiliate conversations, connecting with academy owners, hosting webinars, or swapping stories between competitions, one thing was clear: strong gyms thrive when their communities come first.
Stay up to date on where we’ll be next — we’d love to meet you.
Team PushPress Got Louder

To support our rapidly growing community and to better serve gym owners, coaches, and members around the world — our internal team grew like it was fueled by pre-workout:
- Headcount increased by: 19
- New roles added across: Product, Support, Growth, and Engineering to accelerate impact
- More voices, more grit, more collective hustle
More hands on deck means faster problem solving, deeper expertise, and even more boots-on-the-ground support when our gyms need us most.

Sneak Peek: What’s Going Platinum in 2026?

Without spoiling too much, here’s a sneak peek at what’s next:
- AI-native platform: In 2026, PushPress will continue evolving. Turning raw data into real-time guidance, clearer insights, and smarter decisions for gym owners. Less guesswork. More confidence.
- Bookkeeping made simple: Beyond software, we continued investing in tools that save gym owners time, money, and stress — like done-for-you bookkeeping that makes financial clarity easier than ever.
- Unified Inbox that just makes sense: We’re also rethinking how communications work inside of Core — and we’re hard at work on a newly designed “Unified Inbox”. This system will simplify how you communicate with everyone in your business and build a communication-first paradigm into PushPress.
As we head into 2026, the focus isn’t just on building more — it’s on building better. Removing paper cuts. Eliminating confusion. And making PushPress easier, clearer, and more powerful for the people who rely on it every day.
