Eight cases across fitness clubs, equipment manufacturers, and digital platforms.

Coherent Solutions has spent more than 15 years embedded in the fitness industry's shift from physical-only experiences to connected, data-driven ecosystems. This collection gathers eight of those engagements, organized by the type of fitness brand we support. Each case study covers the client's starting point, the solution we built, and the value it created.

 

What's inside:

Clubs & franchises

Planet Fitness, a leading U.S. fitness and wellness brand, a global fitness franchise spanning 5,000+ locations across 32 countries, and a fast-growing regional club chain, on unifying fragmented systems into member-first digital ecosystems without disrupting day-to-day operations.

Fitness equipment manufacturers

BowFlex, on a 10 to 20x backend performance gain and 1,500+ bugs resolved, and a global connected fitness equipment manufacturer, on building a connected strength mobile experience that integrates directly with gym equipment.

Digital platforms

A sports technology platform serving youth and amateur athletics, on modernizing DevOps and Salesforce to cut costs and speed up releases, and a leading youth sports and tournament management platform, on a nine-year partnership stabilizing legacy systems across three platforms.

 

Building connected digital ecosystems that power great fitness brands

AKTIV is a specialized business unit within Coherent Solutions, with hundreds of engineers, hyper-focused on building intelligent digital platforms that power the world's leading fitness brands.

We live fitness, not just tech

Our teams combine 15+ years of experience in the fitness industry with modern, AI-enabled product engineering. From member management, scheduling, and registration to wearable integration and on-machine analytics, we build the platforms that connect the entire fitness ecosystem.

Focused on your results, not billable hours

If you want a team that just executes tickets, that’s not us. We flag risk early and share ownership of the outcome because that’s what gets the best results.

A track record that’s named, not claimed

Coherent Solutions has delivered for leading fitness brands, including Life Time, Planet Fitness, Purpose Brands, Bowflex, and VASA Fitness. That trust comes from understanding the industry, not just building software for it.

 

Who this collection is for:

  • Fitness operators modernizing legacy systems without disrupting operations,

  • Equipment manufacturers building connected, data-driven products,

  • Sports technology platforms scaling engineering and support capacity,

  • Technology and business leaders evaluating a partner with a proven track record in fitness.

 

If you're facing fragmented systems, an aging platform, or a digital experience that hasn't caught up with your members' expectations, this collection shows what's possible with the right technology partner.
