Stand out with CrossFit box management software

Your box has involved coaches, a close-knit community and effective WODs. However, the room can be 70% full, no-shows eat into the margin, and administration takes time. Good CrossFit box management software can be a game changer in 30 days.

EKKLO brings together your offers, prospecting, scheduling, progress tracking, payments and messaging. The goal is not to add a tool, but to simplify your daily life and offer an impeccable member experience. Discover EKKLO: https://info.ekklo.com/

What your members really want in 2025

Frictionless personalization

Your athletes want clear benchmarks: cycles, PRs, objectives and personalized feedback. CrossFit box management software must link performance monitoring, session notes and individual objectives.

Example: PR back squat entered automatically after the session, suggestion of a strength cycle over 6 weeks, automatic reminder if a key session is missed.

Real-time communication

Members expect short, useful and targeted messages: change of schedule, opening of a new slot, place released. Notifications and integrated messaging cut out the noise of scattered groups.

Simple booking and payment

Reserving, canceling, waitlisting, paying for a drop-in or pack should take less than 30 seconds. Effective CrossFit box management software reduces friction at every step.
