Keep the Delivery. Own the Programming.
Going independent does not mean losing the screens, timers, and session flow your members already expect. CloudFit runs your sessions automatically on your own gym screens, so you keep the delivery infrastructure and finally decide what runs.
The hard part is not deciding to leave.
The hard part is replacing the delivery infrastructure your members rely on without losing momentum during the transition.
CloudFit fixes that by giving you the same on-screen delivery experience, but on your terms.
They are used to screens, timers, exercise flow, and a session that runs clearly from start to finish.
CloudFit runs your sessions automatically on your own screens, so members still get the structure they expect from day one.
Your morning members, lunch crowd, and evening regulars may need different class formats.
Use CloudFit to deliver different classes at different times of day, based on the members you actually know.
If the screens go dark or the experience feels like a step backward, members notice immediately.
Plan your screens, workouts, and team training ahead so everything is ready on launch day and the experience stays smooth while the brand changes around it.
Keep What Worked. Change What Never Fit.
You already know what good delivery looks like. The screens run. Coaches are free to actually coach. The session takes care of itself.
CloudFit gives you that same on-screen delivery model on a platform you control. Timers count down. Exercises progress on screen. Members can see what is happening now and what comes next. Digital whiteboards and exercise videos are already there before class starts.
Running station circuits? Show different exercises on each screen for each station or zone, with one shared timer and rotation cues across the room.
The difference is that you decide what runs. Morning yoga, lunchtime open gym, evening strength, programming built around the community in front of you instead of a format handed down from somewhere else.
Members Already Understand This Kind of Workout Experience
Boutique fitness brands like Body Fit Training (BFT), Orangetheory Fitness, and F45 Training have helped make screen-supported workout delivery familiar to a wide range of gym members.
These brands have shown how screens, workout flow, timing, and performance visibility can create a more structured and engaging in-studio experience.
For large franchise systems, that kind of delivery technology is often built into the model.
CloudFit gives gyms, studios, and fitness chains access to that same style of workout delivery technology without needing to build their own platform.
The key difference is control. With CloudFit, the delivery system is yours, the programming is yours, and the brand experience is yours.
Brand names belong to their respective owners. CloudFit is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any of these brands.

What This Looks Like in Practice
Your members know you are going independent, but the experience in the room does not feel like a downgrade.
The screens stay live. The coach stays on the floor. The session still has timing, structure, and flow. But now the content reflects the people actually in the room.
That means:
- no gap in delivery on launch day
- different sessions for different member groups
- less reliance on one experienced coach to hold everything together
- a smoother launch into independence
- a gym experience that finally feels like your own
CloudFit lets you choose the exercises, timing, and content shown on your screens.
Planning Your Launch
- Check your agreements. If you are leaving a franchise, confirm when you are free to install and run a new system, and get advice on any continuing obligations.
- Check your screens and content. Use TVs and devices you own, and exercise videos you own or are licensed to use. See compatible hardware.
- Build your first workouts. Use the CloudFit exercise library, upload your own coaching demos, or mix both. Most gyms start with three or four signature class formats.
- Train your team. Walk coaches through the controller app so everyone is comfortable before launch day.
- Launch and adjust. Program differently for different times of day, add zones, and update sessions as your community grows.
The Real Shift Is Not Just Saving Money
Most owners going independent can point to the fees, the restrictions, and the decisions made somewhere else that they had to absorb locally.
But the bigger shift is operational. For the first time, the delivery infrastructure belongs to you. The screens, the programming, the format, and the day-to-day class experience are no longer tied to someone else’s model.
That is what makes independence feel real.
What Independent Gym Owners Say
“I’ve been here for 10 years, we originally were a franchised gym and had three across Australia. Things were shifting and it became apparent the landscape was changing. CloudFit created a great opportunity for me to do what I love and put programming first. Which we’re so very grateful for.”
Nicila Costello
Owner, The Fitness Vault
“We were a franchise for 8 years and our values didn’t really align anymore. Discovering CloudFit allowed us to do our own thing, create our vision and be more progressive. […] It was just perfect for us.”
Chris Scales
Owner, Thrive Revive Northcote
“It’s super simple, whatever I have in mind I can program into the app. It didn’t take long at all to learn either.”
Tristan Tross
Owner, AMRAP Training
“When I was a franchise we had one board, now we’ve got three and I could have four. It’s beyond my wildest dreams.”
Steve Tragardh
Owner, Squadron Performance and Wellbeing
