Athletix is an Egyptian gym chain. Their member-facing app is live on the App Store as Athletix Eg. Like most gym operators, they were running on the patchwork that the fitness industry tends to accumulate: spreadsheets for membership, a paper logbook at the front desk, a standalone fingerprint device that didn’t talk to either, and a billing process that didn’t talk to any of them. They wanted one system to replace all of it — and we built it.
What we built
The platform has three coordinated surfaces:
- Admin web app — Angular, backed by Supabase (PostgreSQL + auth + realtime + storage in one). Gym staff manage members, schedules, sessions, and the operational reality that runs the club.
- Member mobile app — Flutter, iOS + Android. Members track their membership, browse the schedule, and book sessions. The iOS build ships on the App Store as “Athletix Eg”.
- Biometric machine integration — the front-desk fingerprint and facial-recognition device is wired directly into the admin system. When a staff member adds a new client in the web app, that client is automatically enrolled on the biometric device. No double-entry, no front-desk delay before a new member can check in.
Why the integration matters
The fingerprint/face integration is what closes the loop. Without it, every new member has to be added twice — once in the SaaS, once at the device — and the two systems drift the moment one update gets missed. With the integration, the admin web app is the single source of truth, and the hardware follows. That’s the difference between “a gym SaaS” and “a system that actually runs the gym.”
Where it is today
Shipped in 2025, in active production at Athletix’s locations, with continued maintenance and new feature development through 2026. The member app’s App Store rating and the chain’s ongoing roadmap with us are the strongest signals we have today.
Concrete operational figures — member growth on the platform, check-in throughput vs. the card-based baseline, member-app engagement — will be added here once Athletix and MacawsHub agree on what’s public-facing.
