Phase 1 · Starting on WhatsApp

Your gym, run from
WhatsApp. For now.

Before the full OR-Cura app, there's WhatsApp. Automated payment reminders, bookings, and member check-ins — running today, no app, no hardware, nothing to install.

Free during Phase 1. Founding gyms lock in pricing for Phase 2.

Where we're headed

This is Phase 1. Here's Phase 2.

Trust and adoption take time in this market — so instead of asking gyms to commit to a platform that doesn't exist yet, Phase 1 proves the idea on a tool everyone already has.

01
Phase 1 · Starting now

Member management, entirely on WhatsApp

Automated payment reminders with a secure Ozow link, class & PT booking through chat, and simple check-in confirmations — no app for you or your members to download.

→ FREE FOR FOUNDING GYMS
02

The full OR-Cura platform

OR-Cura Gym — a dashboard for check-ins, revenue and member management. OR-Cura Discover — a consumer app that lists your gym for people who've never heard of you yet.

→ BUILT FROM PHASE 1 DATA
What Phase 1 looks like today

A payment reminder your members actually see.

No missed renewals buried in a spreadsheet. This is the entire flow, exactly as a member experiences it.

Why WhatsApp first

Built around how trust actually gets earned here.

Nobody has to download anything

Your members already have WhatsApp open. Phase 1 works inside that, with zero behaviour change required from anyone.

Trust is earned month by month, not pitched all at once

Adoption in this market takes proof over time. Phase 1 is that proof, running for free, before you're asked to commit to anything.

Phase 2 gets built from real data, not guesses

Every reminder sent and booking made in Phase 1 shapes what the full dashboard and Discover app actually need to do.

Before you ask

A few things gym owners usually want to know.

Do I need to already use an app or software to join Phase 1?

No — Phase 1 runs entirely on WhatsApp. Nothing to install, nothing new for your members to download.

What happens to my data when Phase 2 launches?

Everything set up during Phase 1 — your members, payment history, booking patterns — carries over automatically. Nothing to redo.

Is this only for full gyms, or also studios and PT businesses?

Any independent fitness business in Gauteng managing recurring members — boutique studios and personal trainers included, not just full gyms.

When exactly does Phase 2 launch?

February 2027 is the current target. It's a target, not a guarantee — founding gyms hear about any change first.

Will Phase 1 always be free?

It's free for founding gyms who join now. Once Phase 2 launches, pricing moves to the plans above — founding gyms keep their locked-in rate for 12 months.

Ready when you are

Stop chasing renewals by hand.
