Membership built around real clubs
Most generic SaaS treats memberships as one-size-fits-all. Real dojos charge differently for adults, juniors, families and drop-ins. Club Forge is built around that.
A martial arts club isn’t a gym. Members aren’t interchangeable — a 6-year-old’s Saturday morning class is different from a 40-year-old’s twice-weekly evening session, and the family of three you’ve coached for five years pays differently from the adult who walked in last week.
Club Forge ships with eight plan types covering adult, junior, family, drop-in, and trial members — and lets you configure the rates yourself.
Eight plan types out of the box
Five plan structures, eight specific configurations, all available from day one. No setup spreadsheet, no “build your own plan” configurator.
Monthly Adult / Monthly Junior
The default working membership. Recurring monthly billing with separate adult and junior rates, configurable per club.
Annual Adult / Annual Junior
For clubs that prefer a single yearly payment. Often discounted vs monthly, but the rate is yours to set.
Family Monthly (2- and 3+ member tiers)
One bill, any composition — two parents, a parent and child, two siblings, or a full family of five. Tiered pricing kicks in automatically.
Pay As You Train (adult / junior)
Session-based billing for casual members and drop-ins, with separate adult and junior rates.
14-day Free Trial
Built-in trial period with automatic conversion tracking, so you can actually see how many trial-takers stay.
Family plans that flex
Real families aren’t a fixed shape. Club Forge family memberships handle any combination — two parents, a parent and a child, three siblings, a family of five with a grandparent training too.
- Any mix of adults and juniors in one membership
- Tiered pricing for 2-member and 3+ member families
- One point of billing for the whole family
- Each profile keeps its own training history and rank
Renewals and lapsing handled automatically
Members fall off plans for a hundred reasons — a card expires, a direct debit bounces, life happens. Club Forge handles the follow-up so you don’t lose people through the cracks.
- Two-touch reminder sequence before a plan expires
- Automatic lapse detection when a renewal fails
- GDPR-aligned data retention for lapsed members (see GDPR)
- Re-engagement tracking — see who came back, and how long it took
Trial-to-member that just works
A 14-day free trial is built in. New members sign up, train for two weeks, and get an automated nudge a few days before the trial ends. If they convert, the membership starts; if they don’t, the trial closes cleanly.
Club Forge shows you the trial-to-paid funnel — how many trials converted last month, last quarter, last year. Real numbers, not guesswork.
Pay As You Train, properly
Some members can’t commit to a monthly. Drop-in coaches visit other dojos. PAYT handles both — session-based billing with separate rates for adults and juniors, tracked through the student tablet at the door.
Each session is a clean transaction. The member taps their PIN, marks themselves in, and the session is recorded against their profile.
Memberships available for all five disciplines.
