Mastering Gym Business Management and Capturing the Over 50 Market, with Dan Uyemura of PushPress.

This week's episode is all about the intersection where gym management, communications, and customer experience meet.
My guest is Dan Uyemura, who was a serial tech entrepreneur before opening his first gym in 2010 – and then his gym management software platform, PushPress, which helps gym owners scale their businesses effectively.

PushPress streamlines billing, keeps up with attendance, and helps track and improve other operational tasks, as well. And it’s seeing huge and steady growth, with 70% year over year growth since 2013, and more than 3,000 gyms worldwide among its clients.

Dan and I talk a bit about PushPress and the power of software to help businesses help more people. And we also get into the over-50 market, of course. Dan’s about to join us in the demographic, and he’s seeing how powerful it is to gym and studio owners who are willing to look ahead of the curve to see opportunities that most are ignoring.
