This month, we rolled out several impactful updates across PushPress designed to help you manage your gym more efficiently, attract and retain members, and stay compliant with new regulations. These updates are all about simplifying your day-to-day operations and giving you more time to focus on what truly matters — your members.
Here’s what’s new this March:
Grow updates
Grow
We’ve made Grow better, smarter, and faster to save you time, minimize stress, and give you better tools to grow your gym.
Key improvements:
- Flexibility: Build customizable workflows tailored to the way you run your gym.
- Enhanced data sync: Grow now seamlessly syncs with Core, our gym management platform, ensuring your data remains accurate and actionable.
- Simplified workflows: Intuitive workflows make automation painless, reducing administrative burdens.

Priority Booking
Core
Priority Booking lets members at premium or unlimited membership plans enjoy early access to your most popular classes, creating more value for your VIP members, while reducing class frustrations.
Why you’ll love it:
- Enhance member value: Encourage more upgrades by reserving exclusive early-booking access for your highest membership tiers.
- Reduce class overwhelm: High-demand classes are now stress-free, with premium members getting first dibs.
- Boost retention & revenue: Show your members the tangible benefits of upgrading, while creating happier, long-term clients.
Plan Purchase Limits
Core
With Plan Purchase Limits, you can now restrict how many times a specific plan can be purchased, preventing abuse of your promotions like free trials or drop-in passes.
Key benefits:
- Stop plan abuse: No more repeated purchases of free trials or one-time promotions — unless you want to allow that!
- Customizable flexibility: Set limits tailored to specific plans, like capping drop-ins at 3 per person.
- Seamless communication: Members receive clear, automated messages when they reach their plan limits with options for alternative plans.
Cancellation Requests
Core
Core’s Click-to-Cancel update, designed to comply with upcoming FTC regulations in the U.S., ensures your gym members can easily cancel their membership. Additionally, updates ensure admins can easily track and manage the cancellations requests.
What’s included:
- Easily disabled: If the regulation does not apply to your gym, the feature can be easily turned off.
- Member-friendly cancellations: Members can submit cancellation requests directly from the Members App, complete with a reason for cancellation.
- Automated notifications: Admins are alerted to member requests via email to ensure timely processing.
- Dashboard visibility: Track all cancellation requests in one place for clearer management.
- Retain full admin control: Choose to manually review each cancellation request, or enable automations for immediate cancellation.
Dashboard enhancements
Core
With new updates to the Dashboard, personalization, data insights, and operational efficiency are central to your Core experience.
Updates include:
- Customizable quick links: Create a navigation system tailored to your workflow. Choose up to 20 links — previously, all users had 5 fixed quick links — then drag-and-drop to reorder them.
- Enhanced date filtering: Compare week-to-date, month-to-date, or custom date ranges for easy reviews of your gym’s performance.
- Member avatars: Quickly see what members are associated with key metrics so you can identify who needs your attention.
- Streamlined check-ins: Faster check-ins with added functionality like class dropdowns and "Open Gym" options.

Our Plan Creation feature has been revamped to make creating and managing membership plans easier than before.
What’s new:
- Personalized templates: Tailored plan suggestions based on your gym type and location.
- Smart pricing recommendations: Get dynamic pricing tips, based on PushPress member data.

Improved nightly billing
Core
We’ve updated our nightly billing service to improve speed and reliability.

- Simplified operations: Geo-specific processing ensures more accurate bulling cycles for your gym.
Bulk Workout Import
Train
With our new Bulk Workout Import feature, gyms can now upload performance results for all their members in one go.
Why you’ll love it:
- Track everything effortlessly: Keep workout history complete and accessible for all members.
- Save time on data management: Import multiple results at once, instead of handling data on a per-member basis.
- Enjoy seamless syncing: Ensure workout data stays in sync with all programs.
Review Request updates
GymHappy
Feedback fuels growth. Our updated review system ensures you never miss an opportunity to gather valuable input from members.
What’s new:
- Automatic review requests for milestones or first visits: Members hitting milestones or visiting for the first time will automatically receive a review request — even if other requests were sent that day.
- Capture meaningful feedback: Helps you capture feedback when it matters most, allowing you to celebrate progress and refine your offerings.
Personalized Coach Feedback Requests
GymHappy
Smarter feedback tools are empower coaches to connect with members in more meaningful ways, and refine your coaching approach to better meet member needs.
The details:
- New feedback templates: Coaches can pick from a variety of feedback templates to keep requests fresh and engaging.
- Feedback focus areas: Options include gathering feedback on class structure, coaching style, and member progress.
