Glofox, a fitness management platform headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, has now become a dedicated business unit servicing the boutique gym and studio sector within ABC Fitness, a software and related services provider for the fitness industry.
“Starting with my first meeting with the Glofox team, I was immediately impressed with their achievements and saw the natural synergies with ABC’s growth strategy,” said Bill Davis, CEO of ABC Fitness Solutions. “Glofox’s innovation in the boutique and studio sector combined with ABC’s 40-year proven track record, will allow us to build one of the largest and most tightly integrated fitness technology companies in the world empowering fitness providers of all sizes.”

Operating as a business unit within ABC, Glofox will retain its team, offices and customers, and will work together with ABC to realize identified synergies and joint innovations that will provide added value to customers.
“We are excited to join ABC, and I look forward to working with Bill Davis and our combined team to continue to help our customers manage every aspect of their fitness business,” O’Loughlin said. “With the additional resources and expertise gained by being a part of ABC, we look forward to bringing even more innovations to market, faster, more cost-effectively, and to the benefit of even more Glofox customers worldwide.”
