Discover how Sweaty AF's owner built a thriving independent gym after launching during the pandemic. By using smart tech to save hours on admin and stay agile, he's scaled his business and stayed ahead of fitness trends.

As a gym owner, how do you balance structure with creative freedom? How do you scale your unique vision without getting bogged down in admin?

When Taite Radley launched Sweaty AF in the middle of the pandemic, he faced this exact challenge. He could stick with a rigid, pre-packaged formula—or he could carve out his own path.

He chose independence. He envisioned a space where workouts could evolve daily, where coaches had room to be creative, and where technology supported—not restricted—the member experience. That’s where CloudFit came in.

“I wanted to train how I wanted, coach how I wanted, and change things when I needed to,” says Taite. “CloudFit gave me that.”

Break Free from the Box with Flexible Gym Programming Software

Before opening Sweaty AF, Taite saw how one-size-fits-all models could limit a gym's potential. He knew his members would thrive on variety and dynamic programming.

“At Sweaty AF, we’re not boxed in,” he explains. “With CloudFit, we can program powerlifting blocks one week, run boxing circuits the next, or mix in full-body burners whenever we want. The system gives us unlimited flexibility.”

This agility allows the Sweaty AF team to stay ahead of fitness trends and deliver precisely what their community is asking for, solidifying member loyalty and retention.

Instant Updates to Your Gym’s Workout TVs

In a fast-paced gym, you can't afford to waste time. When new equipment like cable machines arrive, you need to integrate them into workouts immediately. With CloudFit, exercises are uploaded in minutes and instantly appear on the gym's workout TVs for members to follow.

This transforms your screens from simple displays into powerful coaching tools.

“We can change the floor layout, add new workout styles, or run a themed event like Super Saturday, and CloudFit adapts with us,” says Taite. “That speed keeps us on the front foot.”

Deliver a Consistent, High-Quality Member Experience

Community is the heart of Sweaty AF, but consistency is the backbone, especially when you have multiple coaches. CloudFit’s gym software ensures every member experiences a structured, professional class, while still allowing each coach’s unique personality to shine.

“When Jayden joined, he was coaching solo within weeks,” says Taite. “CloudFit guided him through the programming, so he could focus on connecting with members and adding his own flavour.”

The result? Members trust they'll get a premium, high-quality session—no matter who’s leading the class.

Save Time and Scale Your Business with Smart Systems

For any gym owner, time is the most valuable resource. Taite found that switching from manual methods to a streamlined digital system was a game-changer for efficiency and growth.

“I used to spend hours writing workouts on whiteboards,” he recalls. “Now I program next week’s classes on my couch in minutes. Coaches open the app, pull it up, and get straight to coaching.”

With workouts clearly visible on screens, members come prepared, coaches save valuable time on setup, and the entire system scales effortlessly as Sweaty AF grows.

“CloudFit gives us the ability to expand into new locations with confidence,” Taite says. “We can replicate the same vibe and quality anywhere, while keeping the flexibility that makes us unique.”

More Than Software: A Partnership in Growth

The best technology evolves with your business. The CloudFit team is committed to continuously improving the platform based on real-world feedback from gym owners.

“They’re constantly improving,” says Taite. “Now we can film our own demos and upload them straight to workouts. It’s a game-changer for onboarding coaches and teaching new members.” Jayden agrees: “They actually listen to feedback and implement it. It feels like a partnership, not just a product.”
