Why the app matters more than the dashboard
Owners choose gym software by looking at the admin dashboard. Members judge the gym by the app. A member who books classes, follows a workout, logs meals and sees their streak in your app is a member who renews; a member whose only contact is a monthly WhatsApp reminder is one who quietly drifts. Torzil treats the apps as part of the core product, not a bonus.
Four experiences, one platform
| Experience | Who uses it | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Admin Portal (Torzil Web) | Owners, managers, trainers, front desk | Smart Dashboard, members, billing, reports, settings - the command centre |
| Member App (iOS & Android) | Members | Self-service membership, classes, check-in, workouts, nutrition, progress, rewards |
| Staff App | Trainers and front-desk staff | The gym floor in a pocket: members, enquiries, attendance, POS, broadcasts, classes, leave |
| Guest Mode | Anyone, before they join | Exercise library, workout builder, diet planner, habit tracker, calculators - offline |
All four read and write the same data. A pause requested in the Member App appears in the Admin Portal’s approval queue; a POS sale on the Staff App reduces stock in inventory; a class scheduled on the Staff App is bookable in the Member App immediately.
The Member App
Secure access and home hub. Mobile OTP login, a multi-location switcher, light and dark modes, and a home screen showing today’s tasks, goals, workouts, meals and streaks.
Self-service membership. Renew, pause, buy add-ons, manage personal trainers, browse classes, join waitlists and launch video sessions for online classes.
Attendance and tracking. In-app camera QR scanning, a personal entry QR, a workout runner with rest timers, macro tracking, habit goals, progress photos and billing history.
Rewards and community. Loyalty coins, offers, digital waivers, facility tickets and the Refer a Gym or Studio programme.
The Staff App
Trainers and front-desk staff should not be tied to a desktop. The Staff App puts the floor in their pocket: a dashboard, members and enquiries, attendance scanning, POS sales at the counter, broadcasts, class scheduling and leave approvals.
Guest Mode
Guest Mode is unusual. Anyone can download the app and use the 1,300+ animated exercise library, the workout builder, the diet planner, the habit tracker and fitness calculators - offline, with a one-tap data erase for privacy. For a gym, it is a way to give prospects something genuinely useful before they join, and an easy next step after a trial session.
How the apps support the business
- Fewer desk visits: renewals, pauses and add-ons happen in the app with Razorpay and UPI.
- Better retention: streaks, goals, leaderboards and loyalty coins keep members engaged - see member retention.
- Trainer value: workout and diet plans appear on the member’s phone the moment they are assigned.
- Class revenue: booking, waitlists and video sessions in-app - see class booking.
Four connected experiences, not one app
Many gym platforms offer a member app; few offer a native member app, a staff app and a guest experience connected to the same billing, attendance and training data.
