A shift with Kula
An ordinary shift, made easier.
Four moments from one day at a club. Kula Ops does the chasing, so the team can be with the people in front of them.
5:50am · Opening
Start the shift knowing.
Sam opens the club. A short brief is waiting: what needs a decision today, with a suggested next step on each, ready to act on or leave.
The person now knows what to do. Sam walks in knowing what to do first.

10:05am · During the shift
Ask, and get a straight answer.
Mid-shift, Sam wants to know how the week is going. Asking in plain words returns an answer from the club’s own numbers, with the uncertain parts called out.
The person now knows what to do. No waiting for a report, and no guessing.

12:30pm · Check where everyone is at
See who has what, without ringing around.
The Work screen shows every open job across the site: who each is with, what is overdue and what is coming due, including the to-dos filed from the team meeting.
The person now knows what to do. Sam knows who has what, and what needs a nudge.

9:30pm · Handover
Hand over without the group chat.
A reformer spring breaks. The team thread keeps the fault, the fix and the note for the front desk in one place, so the next shift knows to leave the tape on.
The person now knows what to do. The morning shift starts where tonight finished.

How it works
Start at your pace.
Nothing to rip out or replace. Kula starts with what you already have and works alongside the systems you already run.
Release Kula Ops to your team.
When you are ready, every person gets the right briefing, duties and help for their role, on an iPad, a desktop or a phone.
Keep improving, then go further.
Agree a baseline, track the early wins, and add your own Apps. Move on to Kula Fitness and the Tribe app when it suits.
A follow-up that takes a club manager 7.4 minutes takes 2.2 with Kula Ops.

Model estimate
One follow-up, timed step by step
The example: a club manager asks, “Has the 6am door fault been fixed?” They have to find out whether the contractor came, whether the desk logged it and whether members were told.
TodayThe manager does every step
7.4 min
With Kula OpsKula follows up with the owner and records the status
2.2 min
3 in 10 follow-ups still need the manager, and those take the same steps as today. The other 7 in 10 are handled and logged by Kula.
The steps today, in minutes
- Recall what is still open0.50
- Park the current task0.25
- Walk over, or write a message or call1.12
- Wait for them, or for a reply1.00
- They are busy or off site: try again0.80
- Get the status1.75
- Get back into the task1.50
- Note the status0.50
- Reaching the person
- Getting and noting the answer
- Switching away and back
Walking over and messaging are each half of follow-ups, so the third step is the blend of the two.
Time given back
4.2 minper follow-up on average, with the team using Kula Ops 8 times in 10
24follow-ups per club manager per week
1.7 ha week back, per club
0.8 ha week back for the colleagues being chased
Time back for members, the team and the floor. People run the clubs. Kula supports them.

A note from the founders
We come at this from two sides. One of us has spent 25 years running studios, and the other has been building software for small businesses since 1985.
The best studios we have known were never run by software. They were run by people who knew every name, every routine and every quirk of the building.
Kula exists to give every team that kind of knowledge, without burning out the few people who carry it. People run the business. We just make sure they are never on their own.
