Today, we are happy to open source Gymie, a Laravel-based gym and club management system we built some time back. It has an interesting backstory to share about how it came to life. We had never planned to build it, rather, it started as a side project. We had an intern we had been mentoring, and to help him understand and learn Laravel better, we picked it as a real-life case study to work on. It was based on our experience with local gym management how they have been handling things.
With regular brainstorming sessions and development, it started taking shape and came to life. It was then put to use for one local gym and later expanded to several other gyms. Today it is used by many local gyms, helping them handle their day-to-day management activities. In our recent brainstorming session, we thought,t why not open source? And here it is!
Currently, it’s nothing fancy or greatly coded, but yes, pretty decent for basic stuff. Though it manages to handle the following tasks:
- Membership
- Invoicing
- Payments
- Enquiries
- Followups
- Staff logins
- Flexible ACL
- Plans
- Services
- SMS notifications

Currently, the application is not highly flexible as it was tailored for local requirements. But we are in the process of making it more generalized and configurable to adapt to different users’ needs. On our list is to refactor & improve the code, along with adding new features. On our priority list, we have:
- Upgrading to the latest version of Laravel
- Upgrade dependencies to the latest stable
- Enable localization
- Decouple features that need user customization
- Refactor & code improvement
- New UX/UI
- Using vuejs for the frontend
Want to check the progress or contribute to the development, we have issues & milestones created on Github.
You can pledge on Patreon to support the development & maintenance of Gymie and other opensource stuff we are building.
