How bliply is different

Bliply adds insight to your workout data....

Bliply's Engagement Intelligence Score monitors behavioural signals across workouts, attendance, results and effort - via our own in-app heart rate monitor and BXP gamification.

Early identification of declining motivation, before churn occurs, before your member even realises they might be less engaged.

Modern UX built specifically for functional fitness gyms, by functional fitness gym owners.

Integrated workout programming, harness the power of AI to help you write strength/skill phases, detailed coaching notes, results tracking, and engagement analytics.
