“We are so excited to see large national fitness brands, like Retro Fitness and Youfit, embracing FlexIt’s unmatched technology to streamline their customers’ experiences and to help better understand and build their membership bases,” said Austin Cohen, CEO and founder of FlexIt. “FlexIt is evolving how traditional gyms operate, providing consumers with flexibility in how, where and when they work out, while simultaneously helping clubs to attract new members.”
Featuring best-in-class technology, FlexIt allows gym-goers to sample clubs when and where they want and pay only for their time spent at the facility. FlexIt also acts as a powerful member acquisition tool for gym owners, enhancing profitability and generating membership leads for fitness clubs by providing rich insights to target new clients, and frictionless check-in/check-out process that creates a seamless experience for users, staff and management.

“Partnering with FlexIt was a smart decision,” said Eric Casaburi, CEO of Retro Fitness. “Consumers’ wants and needs for a gym are changing and FlexIt allows us to find and connect with new and prospective members, while also receiving insightful data for the gym, helping us learn how our customers want to work out.”

“Joining FlexIt’s list of club partners gave us access to an important new platform that will help us to redefine how we share the Youfit experience, and FlexIt’s ability to allow users to choose how they sample our clubs will open so many doors to new guests and members,” said J.J. Creegan, COO of Youfit. “FlexIt is changing the landscape of how consumers access gyms and we’re excited to be getting involved at the outset.”
