Membership Management Basics: What Every Business Needs

Managing memberships should be simple. For most gyms, studios, and small businesses, membership management basics boil down to four clear steps:

1. Customer pays for a membership
2. Customer signs agreements and waivers
3. Customer can view, sign up for, and attend classes or events
4. Payments are collected automatically, with reminders sent if there’s a payment issue

This process is straightforward, but most membership management software complicates it. The last thing you want to deal with when a member cancels or gets injured is figuring out whether you have their signed agreements on file.

Many membership platforms miss the mark. Some don’t cover these basic membership management needs, while others are bloated with unnecessary features that slow you down.
