Hi everyone.

I'm planning to open a small gym and am looking for management software. I don't want cloud services or a subscription fee. I use Linux in my personal life and would prefer to keep running that at the business. Does anyone have experience with this type of thing?

I plan to self host all my services and data if possible such as camera systems and maybe even the website (I found a great local website company I'll be talking with soon).

I've used odoo before, it is a large piece of software and can be modified to do lots of things. Most likely you will be able to get it to do what you want. You'll probably need the e-commerce module, there is probably some sort of mode for subscriptions. You can also add the CRM on top for marketing, etc. there is also the booking module (iirc) which is maybe useful for sessions with trainers etc. maintenance might also be useful.

I did see the subscriptions module. Once you add enough modules it becomes a paid service. I have yet to find info on if Odoo is subscription based or a one time payment. I don't mind paying for a software but do not want a subscription service.

You can easily host the community edition in Docker or otherwise. Odoo has a steep learning curve but it's very versatile. It can definitely do what you describe.

That's good to know. I'll look into the Docker image. Thank you

No worries. It has a stripe integration, too, so it's easy to handle payments without having to hold customers' credit card info.
