The challenge

Running a gym is hard. Managing the money should not be.

Without Niimbu

  • You started a gym to train, not to chase membership fees. Without a system, overdue members go unnoticed. Trainer commissions are estimated. Equipment costs pile up without categorization.

With Niimbu

  • Niimbu handles recurring billing, trainer payroll, expense tracking and member accounts — so you know who's paid and who hasn't.
Built for fitness businesses

Membership

Every member has an account, not just a name on a list

A gym with 200 members and three payment tiers cannot be managed by memory or a whiteboard. Niimbu gives every member an account that shows their current status, payment history and upcoming dues, so you always know who is active and who needs a call.

  • Individual member accounts with tier, balance and payment history
  • Renewal reminders sent automatically before the due date
  • Overdue accounts flagged in real time across all locations
  • Upgrades, downgrades and freezes recorded without manual adjustments

Trainer payroll

Pay trainers from the sessions they actually delivered

Most gyms in Nigeria pay trainers based on what the manager remembers, not what actually happened. Niimbu tracks every class, every session and every attendance record, so trainer pay is calculated from verified data. No arguments, no underpayments, no delays.

  • Per-session and per-class rates configured per trainer
  • Attendance-linked payroll that matches sessions to pay
  • Fixed salary and commission components handled together
  • Payslips generated and delivered to each team member

The idea behind it

A gym business should be measured by the members you keep, not the ones you lose.

Niimbu gives fitness businesses the financial clarity to grow sustainably, with every membership, payment and trainer session accounted for.

Questions

Gym and fitness studio questions, answered

Everything gym owners and fitness managers ask about using Niimbu.

Can Niimbu track individual member accounts and payment status?

Yes. Every member has an account showing their membership tier, payment history and current balance. You can see who is active, who is overdue and who has a pending payment at any time, per location or across the entire business.

Does it handle recurring membership billing?

Yes. You can set up monthly, quarterly or annual billing cycles for each membership tier. The system tracks who is due, sends reminders before the due date and flags overdue accounts so you can follow up before the membership lapses.

How does trainer payroll work?

Trainers are paid from verified session and class attendance data. You set per-session or per-class rates, and when payroll runs, the system calculates each trainer's earnings from the sessions they actually delivered. Fixed salary and commission components can be combined.

Can I manage different membership tiers?

Yes. You can create as many tiers as you need (monthly, quarterly, annual, PT sessions, group classes, day passes) each with its own price and billing cycle. Upgrades and downgrades are recorded against the member's account automatically.

Does it work for personal training studios?

Yes. If you run a PT studio with a small number of members and high-value sessions, Niimbu tracks each session, each payment and each trainer's earnings. The same tools that work for a 500-member gym work for a 20-member studio.

Can I see revenue and expenses per location?

Yes. Membership revenue, trainer costs, rent and operating expenses are tracked per branch. You can compare locations side by side from one dashboard to see which is performing and which needs attention.

How do I handle cash and bank transfer payments?

Every payment is recorded against a member's account whether it comes in as cash, bank transfer or card payment. You can mark payments received at the front desk or reconcile bank transfers as they arrive. The member's account updates in real time.

Can I track class attendance and fill rates?

Yes. Each class has a capacity and attendance is tracked per session. You can see which classes fill up, which have low attendance and which trainers are delivering the most popular sessions. This data feeds into payroll and scheduling decisions.

What about equipment and facility expenses?

Any purchase, from treadmill repairs to cleaning supplies to generator fuel, is captured and categorised automatically. You can see what it costs to run the facility month by month, and compare against membership revenue to understand your true margin.

Is there a free plan for small gyms?

Opening an account is free and there is no monthly platform fee. You are charged per transaction when money moves. A quiet month costs you nothing, and you can add unlimited members and staff without extra charges.
