At present, almost everyone’s goal is to be fit and healthy. Enrolling in a gym is one of several options for achieving fitness and improving one’s health. A gym is a facility that offers a variety of workout activities and equipment. Attending a gym regularly can help you improve your cardiovascular system, strengthen your muscles, manage your weight, enhance your mental health, and reduce your risk of developing various health problems.
With the growing numbers of gym members, gym owners and managers have been challenged by management complexity. The gym managers would need to manage the members, trainers, staff, expenses, payment, and other operations of the gym. Gym owners and managers seek an effective tool to assist them to efficiently manage overall gym operations.
The purpose of this study is to develop an IT-based solution that will assist gym owners and managers in managing the whole operation of the gym. The researchers will design the system using CakePHP to provide an easy and simple gym management system to the users.
The “Gym Management System in CakePHP” is an all-in-one gym management platform. It will eliminate manual operation processes and will replace them with electronic ones. The system will increase the operational efficiency and overall customer experience of the gym members.
Introduction
Technology is the driving force behind the improvement of every business. Business owners take advantage of what technology can offer to increase business efficiency. This capstone project, titled “Gym Management System in CakePHP” is designed to digitally transformed the operations of the gym. The system will electronically streamline the management of members, trainers, staff, expenses, payment, and other operations of the gym.
Without technological intervention, gym owners and managers would rely on manual methods to streamline their operations. The manual method would involve manual workloads and paper works. The manual method is perceived to be inefficient and prone to human errors. The gym members also would not obtain optimal satisfaction with the services rendered by the gym especially in their payment processes. There is an obvious need for an IT-based solution to support the whole operation of the gym.
Proposed Solution
In conjunction with the above-mentioned concern, the researchers propose to develop a Gym Management System using CakePHP. The system will assist gym owners and managers in managing the whole operation of the gym. The system will electronically streamline the management of members, trainers, staff, expenses, payment, and other operations of the gym. It will eliminate manual operation processes and will replace them with electronic ones. The system will increase the operational efficiency and overall customer experience of the gym members.

- Records Management – it is a database system that makes the records electronic, safe, reliable, and fast.
- Report Generation – the system can provide real-time reports on billing expenses.
How the System Works
This section of the paper will discuss the features and how the Gym Management System will work. The forms, modules, and user interface of the system will be explained by the researchers to guide the end-users of the system.
Accountant List – this form will allow the system administrator to encode and manage the details of accountant members of the gym.
The admin will encode the following information of the accountant:
- Accountant Photo
- Accountant Name
- Accountant Email
- Accountant No.
- Action -(edit or delete)
Shown below is the design of the Accountant List Form.
Activity List – this form will allow the admin to manage the list of activities that are offered and available to be inquired by the gym members. The admin will add details of the activities in the system using the form.
The following information will be entered into the system:
- Activity Name – (ex. Plank, crunch)
- Activity Category – (ex. Exercise for biceps, exercise for abs)
- Activity Trainer Name
- Action -(view, edit, delete)
The image below is the Activity List form design.
Expense List– this form will allow the admin to encode and manage the expenses of the gym.

Conclusion
In this technologically driven world, businesses must adapt IT-based solutions for business operations to gain a competitive edge in the market. In this study, the researchers developed a Gym Management System in Cake PHP to automate the operations and transactions in a gym. The result of the study showed that the developed system is extremely effective and reliable in streamlining the operations and transactions of the gym. The majority of the respondents have seen the potential of the system in replacing the manual methods of gym operation. The developed system met the needs and requirements of the intended users.
Hence, the researchers concluded that the developed system is an effective tool to resolve the issues and problems encountered in the manual operation of the gym. The system will increase the operational efficiency and overall customer experience of the gym members.
Recommendations
The respondents of the study rated the system satisfactorily that prompted the researchers to highly recommend the implementation of the system. The researchers recommend the system for its efficiency and reliability that can be rendered to the end-users. The researchers suggest that the end-users should familiarize the system to fully benefit from it. The researchers of the study suggest that gym owners should adapt the system to streamline the operations and transactions in the gym. Also, gym managers should study how the system works and apply it the operation of the gym. The system will assist the gym manager in managing the gym and will provide optimum satisfaction to the gym members. Overall, the system is highly recommended for its convenience, efficiency and reliability that can be rendered to the end-users.
