Startup Idea: Fitness Coaching Software – RFID system and Paperless Client Recording

Startup idea to develop a two-fold solution for the fitness sector. One of its features is to create a seamless paperless system for the Personal Training department that allows remote entry and retrieval of client data. The second feature aims to automate the process of classroom tracking using an RFID system that can identify the gym member's barcode upon room entry, with an alarm system for non-registered members.

I work in the fitness industry as a corporate director. There are two annoyances that directly come to mind. The first is the lack of a true paperless system when it comes to the Personal Training department. While there are options, there are none that are as seamless as having paper client folders and just filling them out as needed rather than filling out an online database that can be done remotely by either trainer or client with ease. Most current platforms are clunky, slow or a hassle to log in or load. However, the largest issue by far is classroom tracking. For example, clubs that charge an extra fee for classes. The main tracking method is registration, and then printing out a ticket to be given to the instructor for entry. However, this is contingent on the instructor doing their job and is a huge waste of thermal paper. I would love to see something more automatic, such as an RFID system that reads the member's barcode as they enter the room, and those without get an alarm.
