Marketplace

The 1club marketplace at 1club.me is a public directory where people discover, explore, and book gyms. A published listing shows your gym’s details, photos, amenities, and location to anyone browsing - no account required to look around. Gym owners submit and manage the listing, and prospective members browse it.

​

When to use it

A listing puts your gym in front of people who are looking for somewhere to train but haven’t found you yet. Listing is free during the beta, and you decide which of your gyms appear and when. Typical uses:

• Get found by people nearby - a new reformer Pilates studio lists itself so people browsing 1club.me can see its classes and plans and book a trial.
• List locations one at a time - an organization with several gyms submits each gym separately, so a location whose profile isn’t complete yet stays off until it is.
• Step off the marketplace for a while - a gym closing for renovation unpublishes its listing, which takes effect immediately, then resubmits it for review when it reopens.

See Worked example: listing a Pilates studio for the full walkthrough.

How it works

There are two sides to the Marketplace:

• The consumer marketplace at 1club.me, where the public finds and explores gyms.
• The admin side under Marketing > Marketplace, where you submit your gym to the network and manage its listing.

​

The consumer marketplace (1club.me)

Anyone can browse 1club.me without an account. Visitors:

• Search and filter gyms by sport, location, and availability.
• Browse gym cards with the logo, name, location, and photos, and save favorites.
• Open a gym’s profile to see its description, photo gallery, amenities, sports, coaches, and the plans, classes, and appointments it offers.
• Get in touch or book - contact the gym or start a booking from the public profile.

Your published listing is what powers all of this, so the more complete your gym profile is, the better it presents.

​

Get your gym listed

You manage your listing from Marketing > Marketplace in the admin dashboard. You submit a gym to the network through a guided wizard, and the 1club team reviews it before it goes live.

1. Open Marketing > Marketplace and click Start now. If your organization has more than one gym, pick which one to list from the menu.
2. The setup wizard opens in a new tab and walks you through the listing profile in these steps: club type, sports, location (address, photos, phone, and email), description, amenities, and a final Confirm & submit step. Everything already on file for the gym is prefilled.
3. Confirm the final step to submit your application. This sends the gym for review and the 1club team is notified.

Your application lands in an In review state. You will see the status on the Marketplace page, and the listing goes live once a reviewer approves it.

​

Profile requirements

A gym can only be submitted when its profile is complete. The required fields are:

• Address
• Phone number
• Email
• Description (at least some written content)
• Location - a city plus a resolved map pin (latitude and longitude)

Photos are optional but strongly recommended - a listing without them looks bare. If something is missing, the Marketplace page shows a warning listing exactly which fields to complete, and the submit step will not go through until they are filled. The wizard is the guided way to complete them.

​

Listing statuses

​

Managing a listing

Before any gym is listed, the Marketplace page shows an introduction with Start now and Learn more. Once a gym has applied, the page lists each gym in your organization under Your listings as a card with its current status. Which actions you see depend on where the gym is:

• In review - Withdraw application pulls the application back. This takes effect immediately, no review needed; the gym returns to unlisted and you can resubmit later.
• Published or Published (unlisted) - Unpublish takes the listing off the marketplace immediately, and View Listing opens the public page on 1club.me. Join QR opens a code to print for your reception desk: members scan it to open your gym and book straight away on their phone, with no app to install. Download SVG saves it.
• Not listed (unpublished or never listed) - Submit application opens the wizard to complete the profile and send it for review.

To relist a gym after unpublishing, submit it again and it goes back through review. Resubmitting is treated as a fresh application - any earlier review decision is cleared.

​

Changes to a live listing

Edits to a published gym’s marketplace profile are reviewed before they replace what is live. While they wait, the gym’s card shows Changes awaiting review and the listing keeps showing the approved information. If the 1club team declines them, the card shows Changes not approved. On the gym’s own details page in Settings you can edit and save to submit again, or Discard changes to go back to what is published. Unpublishing a gym with changes awaiting review applies those changes right away, after a confirmation. If a live gym loses a required profile field (address, phone number, email, description, or location), its details page in Settings shows Marketplace profile incomplete with what is missing. A listing removed because it no longer meets the requirements shows Removed from the marketplace: add the missing fields, then submit the gym again.

​

Worked example: listing a Pilates studio

A single-location reformer Pilates studio wants to appear on 1club.me:

1. The owner opens Marketing > Marketplace. Because there is only one gym, Start now launches the wizard directly.
2. In the wizard, the club type is Pilates/Yoga and the sports include pilates and reformer. Location is confirmed with a map pin, and the owner adds interior photos and the studio phone and email.
3. The description highlights small-group reformer classes and the amenities step lists showers, mat storage, and free parking.
4. On Confirm & submit, the studio moves to In review. The owner sees the “In review” status on the Marketplace card, with a Withdraw application option if plans change.
5. Once the 1club team approves it, the card flips to Published, and View Listing opens the studio’s public page at 1club.me, where prospective clients can browse classes and plans and book a trial.

Tips & best practices

• Finish the profile before you submit. Address, phone, email, a real description, and a located map pin are all required; the submit step blocks until they are present.
• Add photos even though they are optional. Listings with a gallery get far more attention than bare ones.
• Write the description for prospects, not staff. Say what makes the gym worth visiting, in plain language.
• List accurate amenities and sports. They power the marketplace filters visitors use to find you.
• Manage each gym separately. In a multi-gym organization, submit and publish gyms independently as each one’s profile becomes ready.
• Use unlisted for soft launches. A published-unlisted listing is reachable by direct link but stays out of search until you are ready to be found.

​

Troubleshooting

Issue: The Submit application step fails and says the profile is incomplete. Cause: One or more required fields (address, phone, email, description, or location) is missing. Fix: Complete the fields named in the message. The wizard walks through each one; the location step needs both a city and a resolved map pin. Issue: I do not see Start now, Submit, or Unpublish buttons. Cause: Your account has marketing read access but not the organization-management permission. Fix: Ask an owner or admin to grant settings.manage.organization, or have them perform the listing action. Issue: My gym was published but disappeared from the marketplace. Cause: A profile edit may have left a required field empty. A listing that becomes incomplete is pulled from the public network automatically. Fix: Reopen Marketing > Marketplace, complete the fields flagged on the gym’s card, and resubmit for review. Issue: I unpublished a gym and now want it back. Cause: Unpublishing is immediate and final for that listing; relisting goes back through review. Fix: Click Submit application on the gym’s card to resubmit. It re-enters In review as a fresh application. Issue: My organization has several gyms but only one submitted itself. Cause: Each gym is listed independently. Fix: On the Marketplace page, use Submit application on each additional gym’s card to send it through the wizard and review.
