70 Locations, Zero Chaos
EōS Fitness Reclaims Time and Transforms Operations
With more than 70 gyms and plans to scale past 200, EōS Fitness faced a universal industry headache magnified by size: instructor subbing. Outdated lists, endless text chains, and burned-out managers left operations stretched thin. By adopting NetGym, Executive VP of Group Fitness Joella Hopkins eliminated subbing chaos, freed her leaders to focus on members and instructors, and built the infrastructure to expand confidently.

The Challenge Before NetGym
Endless Sub Drama:
After 30+ years in fitness leadership, Joella still called subbing the biggest pain point in the industry.
Outdated Staff Lists:
Teams relied on stale contact lists and text chains, often including people who no longer worked at EōS.
Manual Chaos:
Managers spent hours each week tracking subs, confirming coverage, and cleaning up last-minute no-shows.
Manager Burnout:
Leaders were chained to their screens instead of being present on the gym floor with members and instructors.
No Scalable Process:
With 200 gyms in the pipeline, EōS needed infrastructure designed for growth, not patchwork fixes.
What was the best decision I ever made in group fitness leadership? NetGym. Our managers now spend time where it matters: with members and instructors. Best ROI you’ll ever make.
