Daxko Acquired FitnessForce to Broaden Its Portfolio

Daxko — the leading software provider for health, fitness, and wellness organizations — has announced the acquisition of FitnessForce, which is an award-winning, modern, API-first membership management platform purpose-built for multi-location, franchise, and international fitness operators. This strategic move broadens Daxko's global fitness software portfolio, which now serves every type of fitness and community wellness organization — from boutique studios and trainers to large health clubs and the largest franchisors operating in the world's fastest-growing markets.

FitnessForce delivers the local capabilities that operators running multiple locations, brands, and geographies require on day one. This includes local payments, biometric access, tax compliance, WhatsApp-native communications, AI-powered insights, and native franchise economics with royalty visibility and automated collection across franchisees and master franchisees. The platform can be deployed as a complete out-of-the-box solution or used headlessly, with its 1,100+ APIs allowing operators to build their own member and staff experiences.
