Is this the software for a gym in the Philippines?
Yes if your members pay by GCash or Maya before class, if you want the proof of payment to land on the member's file instead of in a chat, and if your desk works in English or Filipino. No if you need Messenger or Viber messages sent from the software, or official BIR receipts printed by it.
Software built for a card reader
Most gym software assumes a card on file. These are the cracks that show when your members pay by wallet.
The proof of payment lives in a chat
A GCash screenshot arrives in Messenger, and someone at the desk matches it to a booking from memory.
Seats held for people who never pay
When nobody pays at the door, a class seat is either given away too early or kept for a member who never sends the money.
Plans priced for another market
Plans written for US or European gyms can cost more than a small studio in Manila can justify.
An interface the desk does not read comfortably
Your front desk may think in Filipino and book in English. An interface that speaks only one of them slows every booking.
Payments tracked in a notebook
A member who forgets two months in a row is money nobody notices leaving.
What MoveMembers does about it
Nothing exotic: the wallet your members already use, a seat that waits for the money, and messages that send themselves.
GCash, Maya and QR Ph, as payment methods
Upload your own QR once. The desk shows it with the amount beside it, the member pays and pastes the reference, and you confirm. It is a manual flow: MoveMembers takes no fee on it and never touches the money.
A seat that waits for the payment
Turn on one setting and a booking holds the seat until you confirm the payment. A studio that never turns it on behaves exactly as before.
Messages that send themselves
Booking confirmed, class reminder, payment receipt, membership ending soon and the rest go out on their own, in the language you set for each member. You decide which channels each one uses.
How money actually moves in a studio here
Cash at the counter, a wallet QR, a bank transfer, and a card for the few members who prefer one. All of it ends up on the same profile.
MoveMembers takes no percentage of what you collect, whatever the method. The money goes from your member to your account.
A GCash QR with the amount next to it
A personal GCash QR does not carry an amount, so the screen shows the amount in large type beside the code. The member sends that figure, then pastes the reference number from the GCash receipt.
Nothing confirms it for you, and we say so
MoveMembers does not read your GCash or bank account, so it cannot tick transfers off by itself. The desk marks the payment received when the reference matches, which is one tap, and it replaces a screenshot and a name matched from memory.
Maya, QR Ph and bank transfer, the same way
Each one is its own payment method with its own label, so the receipt says what the member really used. QR Ph covers the wallet or bank app a member happens to have.
Cash and cards, recorded like the rest
The walk-in who pays cash gets a profile and a payment in the same few taps. Cards go through your own Stripe account where your business can open one, and the software works fine without it.
A receipt in pesos, from your studio
A transfer with nothing to show for it is the payment a member argues about three months later.
These are payment receipts from your studio. They are not BIR official receipts, and MoveMembers does not issue those. If you must issue them, keep the tool you use for that.
- Your receipt prefix and a footer note of your own are set once in Settings, Finance, and every receipt issued after that carries them.
- Each receipt has its own number, the date, the member, the method, the period it covers and the amount paid.
- The amount is written in pesos, because the currency follows your studio and not the language of whoever is reading.
- It leaves as a PDF by email, and names with accents print as written.

English and Filipino, person by person
The owner may work in English and the person at the desk in Filipino. Language is a personal setting, not a studio setting.
- The interface comes in 15 languages, Filipino and English among them, and each person picks their own.
- The member page is in the member's language, not the studio's, and so are the receipts and the messages they receive.
- English is the main language of this site, and this page also exists in Filipino.
- Dates, amounts and phone numbers follow the Philippines: pesos for your members, Asia/Manila time, and +63 as the default phone prefix.
Email today, not Messenger or Viber
Most of your members live in Messenger and Viber. We would rather tell you now than let you find out after you sign.
- MoveMembers does not send messages through Messenger or Viber. There is no connection to either today.
- Reminders and receipts go by email, which every plan includes.
- On the Max plan you can also send by WhatsApp Business and SMS, through your own accounts.
- LINE is included too, but it is rarely the channel members use in the Philippines.
The Data Privacy Act, and the part no software can do for you
Your studio holds names, phone numbers, photos, birthdates, payment history and signed waivers. The Data Privacy Act of 2012 calls that personal data, and it calls you the one responsible for it.
This page describes software. It is not legal advice, we are not lawyers, and what your studio has to do depends on what it collects and what it does with it.
- Export your data whenever you want, without going through support.
- Delete a member profile for real, with a recovery window you set yourself, for the day somebody deletes the wrong person.
- Read back who changed what and when, so the question of who edited a balance has an answer.
- Give each person a role (owner, admin, coach, front desk), enforced on the server and not by hiding a button.
- Lock the desk tablet behind a per-person PIN, and put two-factor authentication on the owner account.
What the software will not do for you:
- It does not write your privacy notice for you.
- It does not decide what you are allowed to keep. A receipt someone asks you to delete may be a document you have to keep, and that question belongs to your accountant or lawyer.
- It does not make your studio compliant. Your studio is responsible for the data, and no software can hold that position on your behalf.

Where another tool is the better answer
A page that wins on every line does not read like the truth. These are the cases where you should look elsewhere.
- You run a chain across several countries and need the ecosystem of a global vendor. Switching software costs time, and it is only worth it when the gain is obvious.
- Your members are reached almost only on Messenger or Viber and you want the software to write to them there. We do not, and we will not pretend.
- You need official receipts or invoices issued by the software for tax purposes. Keep the tool you use for that, and use MoveMembers for bookings, memberships and payments.
And what MoveMembers does not do:
- No Messenger or Viber messaging.
- No automatic confirmation of a GCash, Maya or QR Ph transfer. The desk marks it received.
- No official tax receipts or invoices.
- No access control hardware: no gates, no turnstiles, no face terminal.
- No app in the App Store or on Google Play. The member page opens in a browser and can be added to the home screen.
Worth switching, or not
Choose MoveMembers if
Your members pay by GCash or Maya, your desk works in English or Filipino, and you run one or two locations. You want the payment proof on the member's file and a seat that waits for the money.
Stay where you are if
Your members live in Messenger and you need the software to write there, or you need official tax receipts from the same tool. Switching software costs time, and it is only worth it when the gain is obvious.

Questions
Questions from studios here.
Yes. GCash is a payment method: you upload your own QR once, the amount is shown beside it, and the member pastes the transfer reference so the desk can match it. MoveMembers does not check GCash automatically, so you confirm the payment, and the software makes that one tap instead of a search.
They work the same way, each as its own labelled payment method. You upload the QR, the member pays and sends the reference, and you confirm it.
Yes. A studio can hold the seat until the payment is confirmed instead of confirming the booking straight away. It is one setting, and a studio that never turns it on behaves exactly as before.
In Thai baht, on the Southeast Asia price: Free, 2,490 THB a month for Pro and 4,990 THB for Max. The peso amounts on this site are an indication worked out from a rate we update by hand. What your members pay you is in pesos, and that has nothing to do with our invoice.
Yes, for the people who work in the software and for members, along with English and the other languages. Each person picks their own language, so an English-speaking owner and a Filipino-speaking front desk can share one account.
No, not today. Reminders and receipts go by email. On the Max plan you can add WhatsApp Business and SMS through your own accounts.
No. They are payment receipts from your studio, with a number, the date, the method and the amount. If the law requires official receipts in your case, keep the tool you use for that.
The question does not have that shape. Your studio is responsible for its members' data, so compliance is yours and cannot be bought from a vendor. The software gives you the means to answer a request: export, deletion with a recovery window, a record of who changed what, and roles enforced on the server.
No. The member page opens in the browser and can be added to the home screen like an app.
