How personal trainer built and launched an educational fitness platform in one day!
"I've been working as a personal trainer since 2010. Unfortunately, since then I found our industry has been operating in a world of isolation between specialties, being left behind using business technologies, and full of difficulties finding continuing education opportunities. I had to do something before I lost my mind. So, I started Fitlete." Learn how Fitlete founder George uses Memberstack to gate content that finds & compiles information from 1,000's of websites to help improve the inefficiencies of the fitness industry.
Speed
"I''m a self-taught coder, so I needed something that I was able to edit on my own and not be stuck with a certain front end platform or a theme of a website that I couldn't easily edit.
Before I found Memberstack, I was using some open source tools to save money. They were very empty shells of programs and were really difficult to use. Memberstack has allowed me to get things going pretty quickly. I was able to launch the beta version of my site within the very same day after signing up."
Easy to setup
"I was using WordPress before I found Memberstack, primarily because I knew they had some free plugins that handled memberships but I kept having trouble with with it, counteracting with each other and having errors a lot. For my size other softwares were just too complex or robust for what I needed. So it just, it just didn't make sense for me to have the cost of a really expensive enterprise level software or service. I knew I just needed something that was a little bit more attuned to the size of the company that I currently am, which is smaller"
The support from the team is amazing. The documentation of how to put everything together, like I said, I was able to get set up incredibly fast once I signed up, because of how easily things were explained in terms of how to hide content and require access for other content and how to sign people up.
It was all really easy to get started with. That was the biggest, biggest help."
