I think it’d be really cool to have something like [edublogs.org](https://edublogs.org/) or [cobot.me](https://www.cobot.me/) - but Discourse-based - for gyms. In a similar vein as what @mcwumbly already pointed out though, surely there’s gotta be some gyms out there that already do something like this at least to a small extent? You should track down as many localised & gym-related discussions you can possibly find and study them. Btw, the reason @sam brought up email is because it’s a great onboarding tool. Many users might have reservations about hopping onto _yet another platform_, but if your [help@mygym.com](mailto:help@mygym.com) address [creates PMs of incoming messages and stages accounts](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-as-a-private-email-support-portal/34444) for customers’ emails, you get your staff comfortable with the platform while gently introducing the idea to customers that “it’s cool that you care enough to interact with us; maybe you’d like to interact with other gym members as well?”. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/2-questions-on-discourse-its-market/40583)._
