How Gymdesk Was Built From the Ground Up | The Founder Story

What started as a side project built on nights and weekends by a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt has grown into one of the most trusted gym management platforms in the world. In this special Founder Edition of Gymdesk Originals, Gymdesk founder Eran Galperin shares the full story behind the platform, from his early days in software and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to bootstrapping the platform through product‑market fit, COVID, and long‑term growth. The episode goes beyond software. It is about building with intention, listening to customers, and designing a product that helps gym owners run better businesses. You will learn: 🥋 How Eran’s background in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu shaped Gymdesk’s philosophy and deep connection to martial arts schools. 💡 Why Gymdesk is a bootstrapped, product‑first company instead of following the VC‑backed SaaS playbook. 🧠 How customer feedback, UX design, and real gym workflows drive every major product decision. 📈 What it took to find product‑market fit, survive COVID, and scale from a one‑person operation to thousands of gyms worldwide. ⚙️ How Gymdesk evolved into an all‑in‑one platform for memberships, billing, attendance, marketing, and operations without nickel‑and‑diming gym owners. 🔮 What’s next for Gymdesk, including AI, payments, integrations, and the future of gym management software. Whether you are a gym owner, martial artist, or a founder building your own product, this episode offers a rare behind‑the‑scenes look at what it takes to build something that lasts. 📌 Watch the full episode and subscribe to Gymdesk Originals for more stories from gym owners around the world. 👇 Thinking of starting your own gym?
