Before comparing long feature lists, make a clear count of the member records you want in one workspace. That gives you a practical starting point for choosing a CANNIN gym plan.\n\n## Start with your member count\n\nBegin with a current list of the members your gym needs to keep track of. Check whether your count comes from one up-to-date list or several spreadsheets, paper registers, and messages. A name appearing twice does not necessarily represent two different people.\n\nUse a simple review before you choose a tier: identify the records you actually need, note possible duplicates, and keep a backup before making changes. Avoid treating your busiest single class or average daily attendance as the same thing as your total member count. Those numbers answer different questions.\n\n## Compare the announced monthly plans\n\nLaunch is ₹299 per month for up to 30 members. Growth is ₹999 per month for up to 100 members. Scale is ₹1,999 per month for up to 1,000 members. Gyms with more than 1,000 members can explore a custom Enterprise plan.\n\nThese are gym organization prices. They are separate from CANNIN’s individual mobile-app experience. Annual pricing has not been announced, and tax details will be confirmed before enrollment.\n\nLaunch: ₹299/month, up to 30 members.\nGrowth: ₹999/month, up to 100 members.\nScale: ₹1,999/month, up to 1000 members.\nEnterprise: custom, above 1,000 members.\n\n## Look at the work you need to do\n\nAcross the three announced gym tiers, the core workspace covers member records, check-ins, classes, trainers, membership and payment records, reports, and CSV exports. The published difference between these tiers is member capacity.\n\nTry looking at a few ordinary tasks rather than only the plan name. Can you find a member record? Does the class schedule make sense to your team? Can you understand the report you would use at the end of a week? The existing CANNIN dashboard preview uses sample records so you can explore the layout.\n\n## Leave sensible room for growth\n\nChoose a tier around the records you need now and the changes you reasonably expect. A small gym approaching 30 members may want to compare Launch and Growth before making a decision. A gym already above 100 members should look at Scale rather than a plan with too little capacity.\n\nKeep that decision tied to your own list and plans. A larger tier is not automatically a better fit for every gym, and a software plan does not promise membership growth.\n\n## Know what is available today\n\nCANNIN currently offers an interactive gym-dashboard preview with sample data. Live organization accounts and online enrollment are not open yet, and this website does not collect subscription payments.\n\nUse the pricing page to compare the announced options and the workspace preview to understand the product direction. When enrollment opens, review the current plan terms and tax details before choosing a subscription.\n\n## Sources\n\n- [CANNIN monthly gym plans](https://www.cannin.in/pricing)\n","image":"https://www.cannin.in/assets/editorial/gym-floor.jpg","date_published":"2026-11-01T00:00:00+05:30","date_modified":"2026-11-01T00:00:00+05:30","authors":[{"name":"CANNIN","url":"https://www.cannin.in"}]},{"id":"https://www.cannin.in/blog/gym-member-management-checklist","url":"https://www.cannin.in/blog/gym-member-management-checklist","title":"A practical checklist for cleaner gym member records","summary":"A straightforward routine for reviewing member records, membership dates, duplicate entries, and gym exports before small inconsistencies become everyday friction.","content_text":"# A practical checklist for cleaner gym member records\n\nBy CANNIN | Published 2026-11-01\n\nCanonical: https://www.cannin.in/blog/gym-member-management-checklist\n\nA clear member list makes ordinary gym work easier to follow. The goal is not a perfect spreadsheet. It is a shared record that your team can understand when checking a membership, finding the right person, or reviewing an export.\n\n## Choose one current member list\n\nDecide which list your team should treat as the current version. If people work from different files, mark older copies clearly and agree on where updates belong. Include a date in exported filenames so yesterday’s copy does not quietly become today’s working list.\n\nWhen you move between a paper register, spreadsheet, and software workspace, compare a small sample of records first. Keep the original while you check the new copy.\n\n## Make the important fields consistent\n\nUse the same spelling for each membership plan and a consistent format for dates. Separate a person’s name from the identifier your team uses to distinguish their record. Two people can have the same name, and one person may appear with different spellings.\n\nKeep notes factual and relevant to the gym’s work. Collect only the information you have a clear reason to use, and limit access to the people who need it. A clean operational record is more useful than a large collection of unrelated personal details.\n\n## Review duplicates before changing records\n\nTreat duplicate-looking entries as a question to investigate. Compare the identifier and the relevant details rather than deleting a row because a name matches. If you use a spreadsheet’s duplicate-removal tool, make a backup and check which columns it will compare.\n\nMicrosoft distinguishes filtering unique values from removing duplicates: filtering changes what you see, while duplicate removal changes the data. Choose the action that fits your review, and keep a recoverable original before making a permanent change.\n\n## Check dates and payment records separately\n\nReview membership start dates, end dates, and plan names for obvious inconsistencies. Check a payment record against the membership it relates to rather than assuming an entry proves that every detail is correct.\n\nUse a small exception list for anything that needs a conversation or another source document. Resolve those items deliberately. Do not fill gaps by guessing a member’s dates or payment history.\n\n## Make the review repeatable\n\nA short checklist your team actually uses is more useful than a complicated process that is abandoned. For example: review new records, check exceptions, inspect possible duplicates, and save a dated export after the review.\n\nCANNIN’s gym preview includes member records, membership and payment records, and CSV exports using sample data. You can explore how those areas are organized today. Live organization accounts and enrollment will be available at launch.\n\n## Sources\n\n- [Microsoft Support: Filter for unique values or remove duplicate values](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/filter-for-unique-values-or-remove-duplicate-values-ccf664b0-81d6-449b-bbe1-8daaec1e83c2)\n- [Explore the CANNIN gym workspace](https://www.cannin.in/#for-gyms)\n","image":"https://www.cannin.in/assets/editorial/gym-community.jpg","date_published":"2026-11-01T00:00:00+05:30","date_modified":"2026-11-01T00:00:00+05:30","authors":[{"name":"CANNIN","url":"https://www.cannin.in"}]},{"id":"https://www.cannin.in/blog/plan-weekly-gym-class-schedule","url":"https://www.cannin.in/blog/plan-weekly-gym-class-schedule","title":"How to plan a clearer weekly gym class schedule","summary":"Build a weekly class schedule with clear times, trainer assignments, room details, capacity, and a simple process for handling changes.","content_text":"# How to plan a clearer weekly gym class schedule\n\nBy CANNIN | Published 2026-11-01\n\nCanonical: https://www.cannin.in/blog/plan-weekly-gym-class-schedule\n\nA class schedule is a shared promise about when a session happens and who is running it. A useful weekly plan makes the ordinary details easy to find and the exceptions easy to notice. Start with a simple structure before adding more sessions.\n\n## Give every session the same basic structure\n\nFor each class, record the class name, date, start time, duration, trainer, location, and intended capacity. Use names your members and staff can recognize. A short, consistent label is easier to scan than several different names for the same session.\n\nKeep the date and time zone clear when a schedule is shared outside your usual front-desk context. If you publish an image or printed schedule, include the week it applies to and where people can find the current version.\n\n## Check the people and spaces\n\nLook for overlapping trainer assignments and room bookings. Include the preparation and changeover time your gym needs rather than assuming sessions can always run back to back.\n\nReview equipment needs with the person responsible for the session. A schedule should reflect the space and equipment your gym has actually allocated. The number you choose for a class should come from your own facility and session planning, not from an example on a software website.\n\n## Separate the repeating pattern from exceptions\n\nStart with the normal weekly pattern, then mark closures, substitute trainers, one-off workshops, and canceled sessions. Keep a one-time change visibly different from a change to every future session.\n\nWhen a repeating session changes, ask whether you mean this occurrence, future occurrences, or the whole series. Calendar tools make that distinction because each choice affects a different set of events. Even a simple spreadsheet benefits from the same clarity.\n\n## Share one current version\n\nDecide where the current schedule lives and who can update it. When a session changes, update that version first and then communicate the change through the channels your gym already uses.\n\nAvoid relying only on a new image in a long message thread. Make the change specific: which class, which date, what changed, and where the current details can be found. Keep older versions clearly dated.\n\n## Review the next week with your team\n\nBefore sharing the next schedule, check the trainer list, room assignments, recurring sessions, and known exceptions together. Invite the people running sessions to flag missing details while changes are still easy to make.\n\nCANNIN’s gym workspace preview includes a class schedule and trainer records with sample data. Explore the layout to see how the daily work is presented. It is a preview; live organization enrollment has not opened yet.\n\n## Sources\n\n- [Google Calendar Help: Create a recurring event](https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37115)\n- [CANNIN gym services and workspace](https://www.cannin.in/services)\n","image":"https://www.cannin.in/assets/editorial/personal-training.jpg","date_published":"2026-11-01T00:00:00+05:30","date_modified":"2026-11-01T00:00:00+05:30","authors":[{"name":"CANNIN","url":"https://www.cannin.in"}]}]}
