High Ride Cycle Ends No-Shows
High Ride Cycle built its reputation on energy, inclusivity, and consistent member experiences across its three Denver studios. But behind the scenes, managing instructor subs through Facebook threads and spreadsheets caused constant stress and missed classes. By switching to NetGym, the team now runs seamlessly, no more no-shows, no more last-minute scrambles, and a lot more peace of mind for everyone.

The Challenge Before NetGym
When High Ride began looking for a new staff solution, they were running two studios and looking to open more which meant more classes, more instructors, and more moving parts and their current tools couldn’t keep up.
Manual Chaos:
Sub requests lived in Facebook groups and Excel tabs, leaving plenty of room for human error and disorganization.
No Reminder System:
Without automated notifications, instructors sometimes forgot they were subbing, causing last-minute coverage panics.
Uneven Worload:
A few reliable instructors often shouldered most of the subbing load, while others were underutilized.
Leadership Burnout:
When a class went uncovered, co-founder Megan often had to drop everything to teach herself.
Scattered Communication:
Front desk staff, instructors, and managers all used different channels—creating confusion and unnecessary follow-ups.
We haven’t had any no-shows since switching to NetGym. The reminders and calendar integrations have been game changers.
