Full Power Fitness is a 24/7 strength gym located in Manukau, Auckland, where an old-school lifting atmosphere meets modern equipment and a clear, results-driven focus. From the moment members walk through the door, the purpose of the space is obvious: to create an environment that motivates people to train hard, stay consistent, and achieve their goals. The team believes that progress begins with knowing your “why,” and they’ve designed a gym that supports that belief through smart equipment choices and a no-fuss layout.
Owner Sid set the gym up with lifters in mind. It’s all about barbells, racks, and plates. The gear is serious, and so is the community. While many members are chasing strength and performance milestones, others are just getting started, building confidence, and learning proper technique. It’s a space where encouragement and focus go hand in hand.
Simplifying Operations
Operating a specialist gym with a small team means everything behind the scenes needs to run cleanly. Admin tasks have to be quick, and having a clear view of what’s happening day to day is essential. That’s why Sid chose Xplor Gym, bringing memberships, payments, and admin tools into a single system to reduce manual work and keep things moving smoothly.
“With Xplor Gym, we finally have memberships, payments, and everything in one system. No more jumping between platforms.”

That decision made an immediate impact. Every membership, whether paid in full or on recurring direct debit, now sits in one place. Staff can check payment status or membership details with a quick glance, which keeps the team agile during busy periods. New members can choose how they want to pay, whether upfront or by starting their first direct debit, making sign-ups seamless both in person and online.
One of the standout features has been automation. When a payment fails or a suspension is triggered, the system sends out the right email automatically and notifies Sid at the same time. He can then follow up quickly, often on the same day, to help the member resolve the issue. This kind of early action helps prevent cancellations and keeps members engaged in their training.
“Xplor’s automated emails mean we can check in with members, send reminders, and keep them engaged, without having to remember a thing. And when a payment fails, automated emails alert me and I can call the member straight away and sort it.”
Pricing adjustments have also become much easier. With tiered pricing, staff can update a member’s rate without needing to rebuild their entire membership package. This streamlines what used to be a clunky process and reduces the risk of errors, especially during peak hours.
“Tiered pricing made changes simple. I don’t have to rebuild a whole package.”
Focused on members
Day-to-day visibility has improved across the board. The dashboard gives a clear picture of who is coming and going, and reports on memberships, visits, and activity are fast to pull. For Sid, this means better planning each week. From managing equipment upkeep to ordering supplements and supplies without spending hours digging through spreadsheets. The extra time goes straight back into the gym floor, where real impact is made through conversations with members and quality coaching.
The Xplor Gym team worked closely with Sid during onboarding and beyond to ensure the system matched the gym’s real-world operations. His feedback helped refine the setup, and the result is a platform that feels intuitive for staff while lightening their admin load.
Members feel the difference too. The sign-up process is simple, payment options are flexible, and communication is clear. When a card expires or a debit fails, they know what to expect and how to fix it. That kind of consistency builds trust and supports the overall training experience.
“Xplor Gym gives us the flexibility to match how our members want to pay.
Whether a member pays upfront or by direct debit, I can see it all in one view. Managing memberships is simpler”
The right fit for the vision
For Sid, it’s simple. He didn’t want a complicated platform full of features he’d never use. He wanted a system that helped his team work faster, stay focused on members, and support the kind of gym culture he set out to build from day one. Xplor Gym fits that vision. It’s clear, flexible, and solid in the background so Full Power Fitness can keep lifting heavy up front.
Old school in feel but backed by modern systems that make the work easier, Full Power Fitness shows what happens when the right tools support the right vision. With Xplor Gym, Sid has more time for his community, more visibility into his business, and more space to focus on what matters: strength, progress, and the people who walk through the door every day to chase both.
