The Vault Fitness.

The headline finding

Migrate off Shopify to a fitness-appropriate platform — Shopify charges e-commerce rates for a site that sells nothing online — a custom-built platform with integrated booking and member management would serve the business better and likely cost less.

Website Audit

CriterionScoreFinding
Design & Visual Quality 8 Professionally designed by Good Sauce studio — clean, modern aesthetic with premium photography that matches The Vault's positioning as a high-end training facility.
Mobile Responsiveness 7 Responsive layout is well-executed with clear navigation and service cards that stack cleanly on mobile devices.
Page Speed (estimated) 6 Shopify CDN handles asset delivery, though the platform adds e-commerce overhead that a gym site doesn't need, slightly bloating page weight.
CTA Clarity 5 'Start Training' and 'Book a Class' CTAs are prominent but route to pages without a functional booking calendar — the conversion path stalls at the point of commitment.
SEO & Discoverability 5 Limited content depth beyond service pages; no blog or training content despite the team's combined 30 years of expertise that could drive organic traffic.

Internal Infrastructure

Booking System
No integrated booking
Despite a Mindbody listing existing, the Shopify site has no booking integration — 'Book a Class' leads to a WhatsApp/phone prompt rather than a calendar.
CRM / Customer Data
No CRM detected
No member management, lead tracking, or client database visible — member relationships managed through personal WhatsApp conversations.
Marketing Automation
Newsletter only
A newsletter signup exists in the footer but no visible email sequences, class reminders, or post-trial follow-up automation.
E-Commerce
Shopify active but misapplied
The entire site runs on Shopify — an e-commerce platform — but the gym doesn't sell anything online. The platform overhead adds bloat without delivering its core value.

02
Add online booking and class scheduling
Connecting the existing Mindbody listing (or a simpler alternative) to the website so members can see the schedule and book in real time — instead of calling or WhatsApping.

03
List an email address and build a lead pipeline
The website has no email contact anywhere — only a phone number. Adding email and implementing a simple lead-capture-to-trial pipeline would catch the enquiries that don't want to call.
