RockFit Migrates from Glofox + Hibu to Zipper's All-in-One Platform
How RockFit consolidated from Glofox gym management and Hibu websites onto Zipper's unified platform — cutting software costs 20% and gaining responsive support, easy editing, and integrated marketing.
The challenge
RockFit is a 24/7 fitness facility in Rockford, Michigan. Owners Tarryn and Jordan were running the business across two disconnected systems — Glofox for gym management and Hibu for the website — and the seams were starting to show.
Fragmented system management
- Limited customization in Glofox for specific business needs
- Inadequate customer support responsiveness
- Restricted marketing and social media capabilities
- Complex workflows for routine gym operations
- Hibu required a separate login and platform to manage
- Restricted editing and design flexibility on the website
- No connection between website leads and gym operations
Operational inefficiencies
- Data silos — customer information scattered across Glofox and Hibu
- Workflow disruption — constant switching between platforms during the day
- Communication gaps — leads from the website didn’t flow into gym management
- Marketing limits — social media required separate tools and processes
- Support drag — multiple vendors for technical support and improvements
Growth limitations
- A difficult website editing process limited marketing agility
- Complex social media management hampered the studio’s online presence
- No integrated analytics for comprehensive business insight
- Time-consuming admin reduced focus on the member experience
The solution
RockFit consolidated everything onto Zipper — a single platform replacing Glofox, Hibu, and the patchwork of social tools in between.

- Glofox gym management → Zipper’s integrated class management and appointments
- Hibu website services → Zipper’s built-in website builder and hosting
