Recurv
INDUSTRIES · GYMS & FITNESS STUDIOS

Membership and add-ons,
one mandate.

Recurv puts a studio's fixed monthly membership and variable add-on charges on one mandate and collects both automatically. Most independent South African gyms and boutique studios currently collect membership by debit order or card, then track personal training packages or class bundles as a separate charge outside that cycle. With everything on one system, the studio sees the full picture per member every month.

WHERE STUDIO BILLING BREAKS

Membership is one number, add-ons are another.

Five things that make monthly membership and add-on billing harder than it should be for an independent gym or studio.

Personal training and class packages bill outside the membership cycle

A member who buys a personal training package or a class bundle gets billed for it separately from their monthly membership, on its own schedule, tracked by hand.

RECURV ·

Recurv's variable-amount mandate covers the fixed monthly membership and the variable add-on charge together, so a personal training or class package collects on the same mandate as membership.

Failed collections take a chunk of admin time every month

Loading membership collections and then finding and chasing whichever ones failed is a manual cycle that repeats every month, regardless of how many members a studio adds.

RECURV ·

Recurv runs the collection cycle automatically and verifies every new member's bank account at sign-up, catching the errors that cause a large share of failed collections.

Reconciliation happens member by member

Matching bank or card responses back to individual members by hand is slow, especially once a studio is billing a mix of membership and add-on charges.

RECURV ·

Recurv reconciles every collection automatically and syncs the result back to the studio's existing system.

Members expect a choice between card and debit order

Some members prefer to pay by card and others by debit order, and running both as genuinely separate systems adds complexity a small studio does not need.

RECURV ·

Recurv runs debit order and card collections through the same platform, on the same mandate model, so a studio does not need two separate systems.

New member sign-up still means paperwork

Onboarding a new member for recurring billing often still means a paper form or a manual card-on-file setup before the first collection can run.

RECURV ·

Recurv onboards a new member with a legally binding digital mandate, no paperwork required, so billing can start on the next cycle.

WHAT RECURV DOES

Built for how studios actually bill.

Five things that change the moment a gym or studio moves to Recurv.

01

Variable-amount mandate

One mandate covers the fixed monthly membership and any variable add-on, personal training, class packages, or top-up bundles, collected on the same cycle.

02

Flexible fee model

A studio chooses to absorb the platform fee or pass it through to members at collection time, keeping the studio's own cost to the monthly subscription.

03

Debit order and card, one platform

Recurring and once-off collections run on debit order or card rails from the same platform, so a studio does not need to run two separate systems.

04

Paperless digital mandates

New members sign a legally binding mandate online in minutes, replacing paper forms or manual card-on-file setup.

05

Automatic reconciliation

Every collection is matched to a member record and synced back to the studio's existing system automatically.

EVERY MEMBER, ONE VIEW

Every membership, every add-on,
on one screen.

Recurv gives the studio a single-pane view of every billing cycle's outcome, membership and add-on charges together, with the reason behind every failure.

Single-pane monthly view
Membership and add-on collections land in one place each month, successful, failed, and disputed.
Failure reasons, not just failures
Every failed collection shows the reason, so the studio knows whether it is a card decline or an insufficient-funds debit order before following up.
Merchant-controlled retry
The studio decides, member by member, whether to trigger a retry, instead of an automatic loop hitting the same account repeatedly.

QUESTIONS OWNERS AND

Questions owners and instructors ask.

Still deciding? Here's what comes up most.

Not necessarily. Recurv focuses on the billing and collection cycle itself, membership plus any variable add-on charge, and can sit alongside scheduling or class-booking software you already use. Whether it replaces any existing billing feature is worth covering directly in a demo.
