About
MatPilot is an all-in-one gym management solution designed exclusively for combat sports facilities — including Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, boxing, kickboxing, and wrestling gyms. Unlike generic fitness software, MatPilot is purpose-built for the unique workflows of martial arts academies. Gym owners can set up their branded environment in minutes: enter a gym name, upload a logo, set brand colors, create membership plans, configure class schedules, and invite members via a shareable link. Members access the platform through a branded, mobile-first web app that shows the gym's identity throughout. Key capabilities include intuitive class scheduling with trainer management, membership tracking with real-time visibility into active members, overdue payments, and plan statuses, and an announcements tool for broadcasting cancellations, updates, and news directly to members. All member data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Pricing is a flat monthly subscription for gym owners with unlimited members and classes — no hidden fees or per-member charges. Members join at no cost through their gym's invite link. A dedicated iOS app is currently in development, while the web app is fully functional on mobile browsers today. MatPilot is ideal for small-to-medium combat sports gym owners who want to eliminate spreadsheets, automate administrative overhead, and focus more time on coaching rather than back-office operations.
