When memberships expire, 15% to 25% of members continue working out undetected, front desks struggle with payment follow-ups, and athletes have no unified way to track progressive overload.</p> <p>To solve this, I designed and built <strong><a href="https://profitgymclub.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">PROFIT Training Club</a></strong> — an all-in-one cloud gym management SaaS platform and high-performance athletic training portal.</p> <h3> 🛠️ The Tech Stack </h3> <ul> <li> <strong>Frontend:</strong> React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Lucide Icons, Vite</li> <li> <strong>Backend &amp; APIs:</strong> Node.js, Express, RESTful architecture, JWT authentication</li> <li> <strong>Database &amp; Storage:</strong> Supabase / PostgreSQL &amp; MongoDB</li> <li> <strong>Hardware Integration:</strong> Real-time dynamic QR code generation for biometric turnstile gates (sub-500ms unlocking latency)</li> <li> <strong>Billing &amp; Automation:</strong> Razorpay API integration with automated WhatsApp renewal notifications</li> <li> <strong>SEO &amp; Architecture:</strong> Rich Schema.org (SportsClub, WebSite, BlogPosting, FAQPage) with SSR-optimized performance</li> </ul> <h3> ⚡ Key Architectural Features </h3> <ol> <li> <strong>Biometric QR Turnstiles:</strong> Members scan a dynamic, rotating QR code from their mobile dashboard to unlock physical gym turnstiles.
