About Origami Rhythmics

Based in British Columbia, Canada, they provide gymnastics programs for hundreds of members, primarily aged 4 to 18.
They offer programs for all levels of gymnasts, from Pre-K groups to provincial and national levels.

The Problem

Before Gymdesk, Origami Rhythmic Gymnastics relied on manual Excel spreadsheets to manage every crucial business function—tracking memberships, onboarding gymnasts, handling E-transfers and cash payments, and following up on late dues. This “old school” approach became overwhelming for the owners as their membership grew, forcing the team to spend up to 50% of their administrative time just chasing and recording payments.

The Solution

Gymdesk’s automated payment system replaced time-consuming manual transfers with streamlined card payments, helping families transition to auto-pay. Gymdesk's real-time dashboard provided instant visibility into payment statuses, minimizing awkward follow-ups and freeing up valuable staff hours.

Gymdesk's flexible membership options also proved ideal for the club’s seasonal training schedules, better aligning with seasonal participation patterns. Even without a front desk, attendance tracking is simple for Origami Rhymics thanks to easy self-check-in or mass check-in for youth classes within Gymdesk.

With Gymdesk, members at Warrior Axe CrossFit can now take advantage of an intuitive self-booking system, simplified waivers and registration, and seamless package sign-ups. Gymdesk’s marketing features have also made it easy for the gym to embed class booking and lead generation forms into a custom website, improving outreach and fostering member growth.

Implementing Gymdesk has resulted in a smoother, more modern gym experience for the owners, staff, and members of Warrior Axe CrossFit.

“I like using Gymdesk because it allows us and our members have access to simple but important tools such as class schedule, payment tracking and attendance. Gymdesk has freed up countless hours of our administrative work.”
