Building a Community, Not Just a Gym
When John Byrne launched UC Fit in July 2020, he had a mission to build a tight-knit, welcoming community where anyone could train with confidence and get fit. With over 16 years of experience in mixed martial arts and an impressive list of titles to his name, John reimagined his deep-rooted knowledge from the fight world into a space that works for everyday fitness.
“Not everyone likes to get punched in the face or kicked in the leg”
UC Fit combines martial arts training with traditional fitness workouts designed to help people move better, get stronger and feel more confident - all without taking any actual damage
The vision was clear, and the community was growing. But behind the scenes, things were messy.
The Challenge:
Before joining LegitFit, John was running everything manually - paper sign-in sheets, mental notes and a whole lot of stress. It was simply chaotic.
As UC Fit rebranded from Upper Cut Fitness, John knew he needed a proper system to:
- Let clients book their own classes
- Show him trends in attendance and revenue
- Cut down on admin so he could focus on coaching and building a community
The Solution:
After hearing about LegitFit from others in the fitness industry, John took the leap and never looked back.
“It’s the best decision I’ve made. It’s stress-free and hassle-free. The analytics have been fantastic and made my job simpler and easier.”
With LegitFit, the chaos turned into clarity. The platform gave John’s clients a seamless booking and payment experience and the analytics dashboard became his go-to for insights into growth and behavior.
