Legends Academy

Legends Academy is a Perth martial-arts gym — boxing, Muay Thai, BJJ — with around 400 members. Dan, the owner, wanted to grow without growing the workload.

The opportunity

The numbers that run the gym lived in eight different apps: bookings, accounts, ads, tasks, team chat. Every fortnight the team hand-built a report from about five exports, and nobody could see which marketing actually turned into members.

Procedures were the other drag — writing them cost Dan 3–4 hours a week, and the backlog kept growing.

What I built

  • The Legends Brain

    An AI operating system that knows the business — its people, culture and rules — built on accounts Legends owns outright.

  • A live dashboard

    Members, revenue, the lead funnel, ads and class fill — from Momence, Xero, Meta, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Asana, Slack and the team's own sheets.

  • A Health Score

    One number for how the gym is tracking, weighted on Dan's own rules.

  • Talk-to-SOP

    Speak a procedure out loud, get back a clean, branded SOP ready to hand to the team.

  • One-click lists for coaches

    Members to win back, class fill and memberships — each exported to Excel in a click.

What changed

15 days
Live on Legends' own accounts 15 days after kickoff — with the first dashboard on real data in three.
8 systems
Connected into one brain. The plan scoped four.
Sat → Sun
Dan asked for a Health Score on a Saturday. It was live on the Sunday.
The channel that works
For the first time the numbers showed which enquiry channel actually turns into members — and which doesn't.
Minutes
A procedure that had stalled for months, written by voice in minutes.
~50% headroom
Real class capacity showed room for about 50% more members than the gym's own target.

In their words

“It knows me, my culture, my values, it knows everything about Legends.”

Daniel — Owner, Legends Academy

“One month, man… we've done so much… I won't forget that.”

Daniel — Owner, Legends Academy

“You don't know how much headway I have made in the last 2 days! Incredible!!”
