SHAPE.NET was created back in 2002 to fill a need in the fitness industry for a comprehensive software
that would service all areas of any given fitness business. The owner Larry King spoke to as many people
as he could in the industry to find out what they needed in software to help them more efficiently run
their business. The answers that he received were his jumping off point in the creation of SHAPE.NET. It
doesn’t end there however, SHAPE.NET and Larry King in particular listens to our clients, and if there is a
feature or functionality that SHAPE.NET doesn’t currently have that fills a need that a client has, Larry
will build it into the system. In 2009 Larry and SHAPE.NET implemented 11 updates (of numerous
features at each time) to the system based on client input. All updates are immediate for all users of
SHAPE.NET, and are done so at no additional charge.
Larry also realized that having a web based system would be highly beneficial to the industry, and would
allow clubs to offer member web access for purposes of purchasing packages, scheduling training
sessions, tracking fitness assessments, and paying their bills. This was a very bold move back in 2002, as
most people were still using dial up at the time. Larry stuck to his guns, and today, the companies that
laughed at him then, are scrambling to catch up to the system that Larry has perfected.
SHAPE.NET is much more than a personal training or facility management software. It is an invaluable
administrative and revenue generating tool. To a good majority of our clients, our software is NOT an
expense, as the system pays for itself on a monthly basis, with the time that it saves, the money that it
saves, and the money that you are able to generate using the tools within SHAPE.NET.
SHAPE.NET handles:
Sales and Prospecting: Non members have the ability to login to your clubs member web page, and
purchase memberships and training packages- leads are delivered to your email, and are created in the
system for your sales staff to act on.
Mass Marketing: Your sales staff and other personnel can follow a lead from prospect through
membership, with the ability to generate mass emails, and mass text messages. Prospects can be
followed up on, and noted in the system, and will alert when the next contact should be made.

Scheduling: Members can schedule classes and personal training sessions online if you choose to allow
them to. No tying up phone lines or staff members to schedule classes or sessions- allows them to focus
on the business at hand- keeping your members happy.
Trainer Access: Allows trainers to access the system from home or from their PDA- ability to update
their availability, check on scheduled sessions, run reports, update member’s fitness assessments, and
more.
EFT: The ability to control your scheduled payments, and batch your EFT when you want. With some of
the lowest rates in the industry (approx 2%) and the ability to accept echecks (ACH) for .25 per
transaction no matter how large the transaction is. YOU control how much you pay in processing fees.
Buddy Training Packages: Allows multiple members to share a training package- more people using a
package, means package runs out quicker, and means more packages being purchased. Also makes
training packages more affordable for more members.
Comprehensive Reporting: Ability to generate numerous reports for purposes of marketing, retention,
membership analysis, training activity, financial reports including the ability to track expenses, which can
be exported to Quickbooks, credit card expiration reports, referral reports to maximize advertising
dollars, Trainer and Employee payroll, Demographic reports to show where your customer base is in
terms of Age Group, City, Zip Code, and many other reports, too numerous to mention. We are also one
of the very few companies that will customize reports for you if there is a specific reporting need that
SHAPE.NET does not currently have.
Check-in: With Audio and Visual Alerts to warn of Open Balances, missed fitness assessments, account
freezes, birthdays, and others.
Pre-Paid Accounts: Allows members to purchase POS items without bringing money with them to the
club, and avoids additional credit card swipes to purchase inexpensive items such as waters or juices.
OR
Bill Member Later: which allows members to purchase POS items on credit to be paid for in one batch at
a later point in time.- Both options create a habit in the member to NOT bring water, juice, snack bars,
etc to the club with them because they can purchase them their very easily, which increases your POS
revenue.

Paperless System: SHAPE.NET gives you the ability to be a “Green” paperless facility. All legal
agreements can be uploaded into the software, and with an electronic signature pad, you can capture
your member’s signature and store all of your legal agreements electronically. Your members would
have a copy of all agreements signed on their member web page, as well as all receipts for
memberships, training packages, POS items that they can print out on their own. No more worrying
about where to store contracts and other legal agreements, and savings on office supplies such as ink,
toner and paper.
Member Web Access: Members have access to their own member web page where they can view
health and fitness articles, their 7 day training schedule, print out receipts, purchase training packages,
schedule classes and personal training sessions, track their own cardio and strength training workouts,
view fitness assessments with charts and graphs, view instructional exercise videos (pre-loaded or ones
that you create), and a feature called Virtual Workouts, which allows a trainer to prescribe a workout for
a member who may not be able to afford personal training, but still needs some guidance from a
professional to reach their fitness goals. You also have the ability to sell advertising on the member web
page in the form of click through ads to another website, which you are free to sell for whatever your
market will bear.
SHAPE.NET is the complete package…just look at what our clients are saying:

GUIDANCE TRAINING! Do you offer it? If not, you should!
Do yourself a favor, Google in quotes- “I need a personal trainer”, and see how many hits you get. Then Google in quotes-”I need a workout routine” and see how many hits you get. The point of this exercise- “There are more people looking for just a little bit of guidance in their workouts, than there are looking for personal trainers!”
Why should you care? Because these people are currently in your facility, and you are not meeting their needs!
These are the people who can’t afford a personal training package, but still want a little guidance to reach their goals. These are the people who sign up every year in January, see no results in February, and never come back again. You can keep them coming back to your facility by creating a package that guides them in their workout, and gives them the ability to see results, and track their progress toward goals.
Giving them "ACCESS" to gym equipment is NOT enough!
SHAPE.NET gives you all the tools you need to create a “Guidance Training” package, that includes:
Fitness Assessments (we have over 100 pre-loaded),
Instructional Videos (we have 39 pre-loaded, and you can create your own),
and Virtual Workouts, that give your members a prescribed workout for a pre-determined length of time.
These packages currently range anywhere from $50 to $100 a month! Go ahead do a Google search, and you will see that there are people offering “Virtual Personal Training”. These are the people that are going to be taking
YOUR customers from you, unless you take steps to keep them where they are. If you have 100 members, and only 10% of your members sign up for a “Guidance Training Package”, that’s still 10 people at $50-$100 or $500- $1000 additional revenue that you can generate on a monthly basis. If your sales staff can't close at least 20% of your members on "Guidance Training" packages, then you need to re-evaluate your sales staff.
SHAPE.NET is Web Based Facility Management Software that will considerably save you time administratively, help you save money, AND earn additional revenue!
