What staying on ABC costs you.

The pattern operators describe when they call us is the same: the suite is powerful, but the day-to-day fights you.

01

Fees you can’t reconcile

ABC spreads its cost across 25 distinct fees that are hard to trace back to a line of business. Operators often see total subscription and processing cost pass 4% of processed revenue.

25 fees to reconcile each month
02

Three systems to run one gym

Lifecycle lives in Ignite, sales in Gym Sales, training in Trainerize. Data doesn’t sync cleanly between the modules, so your team rebuilds the truth in Excel.

3 logins, no single source of truth
03

Support you can’t reach

When billing breaks on a peak day, an offshore ticket queue is not a plan. Operators report outages on the days that matter most, with no one picking up the phone.

Switching is the part we own.

A structured rollout takes most gyms live in a couple of weeks, designed to avoid billing disruption.

Real migrations: Gold’s Gym Quebec consolidated ABC Ignite, Gym Sales, and Trainerize into one platform in 21 days, across 2 locations. Atlantis moved off ABC in 14 days. Both migrations were run end to end by a dedicated FLiiP specialist.

When ABC is the right call.

  • You run a global franchise network that standardizes on ABC’s enterprise contracts and enterprise-scale infrastructure.
  • Your head office mandates the ABC stack across hundreds of locations and the decision isn’t yours to make.
  • You depend on custom integrations built against ABC’s open API today.

If that describes you, ABC’s enterprise suite earns its complexity. If you run 1 to 25 clubs and want one modern platform your team actually likes using, book the consult and we’ll tell you honestly which side you’re on.

Common questions.

FLiiP is the ABC Fitness alternative built for operators running 1 to 25 clubs. Instead of stitching together ABC Ignite, Gym Sales, and Trainerize, you run members, CRM, billing, a branded app, and AI on one platform, with transparent pricing and fair contracts. Gold’s Gym Quebec consolidated its full ABC stack into FLiiP in 21 days.
ABC’s total cost is spread across 25 distinct fees that are hard to reconcile, and operators often see total processing and subscription cost exceed 4% of processed revenue. FLiiP’s pricing is one subscription plus clear processing, with no mandatory business services fees. In the switching consult we map your current ABC invoice line by line so you see the real difference for your clubs, not a generic percentage.
Often, yes, but it depends on your invoice. ABC’s standard early termination sits around 200% of monthly fees, and that’s real money. Whether the savings on subscription, processing, and recovered revenue pay that back, and how fast, is exactly the math the switching consult runs for you, honestly, before you commit to anything.
It’s a controlled rollout. Your front desk stays open, billing keeps running, and staff train in parallel with the data migration. From the member’s side, payments keep processing on the same schedule and bookings keep working. We time the cutover to a billing cycle so no one gets double-charged or missed.
Yes. We run staged token transfers with validation steps at each stage to reduce risk and prevent billing disruption.
Your core history migrates and stays queryable in FLiiP: membership durations, transaction records, class attendance, and PT hours. Reports that are ABC-specific in format are archived as exports, so you keep the record even where the layout doesn’t map one-to-one.
A named account team with clear accountability, on North American business hours, with escalation paths for anything that impacts daily operations. Not an offshore ticket queue.

After 13 years with ABC, we knew it was time to evolve. We were juggling three different systems. FLiiP consolidated everything into one modern, integrated platform.
