Robert Handy, Founder of Independent Gyms / Xplor Gym
As its official strategic technology partner, Xplor Gym will play an active role in supporting the success of independent operators with valuable education and events.
Xplor Gym provides intuitive, flexible, all-in-one management software to gyms, studios, and fitness facilities, and is on a mission to raise the bar for gym management software in the UK.
Robert Handy, Founder of Independent Gyms said, “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Xplor Gym to offer our members access to valuable education and support, as well as member only rates on the software. The Xplor Gym team has a wealth of industry knowledge and experience and really understands the challenges independent operators face. I’m excited to see the value they’ll bring to the sector with this collaboration.”
Xplor Gym has been purposefully engineered to disrupt the status quo, delivering new levels of speed, responsiveness, and simplicity to its customers.

Nathan Best, General Manager, UK and Europe, at Xplor Technologies commented, “Running an independent gym has been challenging these past few years, because owners are being asked to do more with less. We are committed to supporting this sector and helping independent operators succeed. Through this new partnership, we are well placed to bring that mission to life and make a tangible impact with our best-in-class technology, and through the delivery of free education, insights and events.”
