eFit Financial Introduces New Oracle-Powered
Club Advantage™ 2.0 Business Management System

(Denver, Colorado) – eFit Financial has introduced the new Club Advantage 2.0, an Oracle-powered super-secure interactive system, which enables health club owners and their staff to access and control member databases and business finances from any location, announced John Chalk, eFit president.

"With eFit Club Advantage, we invested the resources necessary to provide the most secure, easily accessible and flexible Internet-based club management system in the industry," reported Chalk. "Our exclusive combination of technologies makes the eFit Club Advantage system the most efficient and affordable operating system available. Now club owners and managers have the freedom and convenience to manage their club business and finances at anytime from anywhere."

The eFit Club Advantage system is simple to use, yet super-efficient in providing up-to-date management information. The Club Advantage system is run by an Oracle 9i database, the most robust database available for web-based applications, combining unbreakable security with unmatchable speed. An exclusive combination of technologies, including the latest firewall, VPN (Virtual Private Network) and SSL (Secure Socket Layer), make Club Advantage the most data-secure web-based application available for fitness clubs.

Complete yet secure access to the eFit Club Advantage system allows club staff to enter membership data in a real-time on-line environment, eliminating the need to mail membership agreements. With 24/7 access, clubs can manage and track all aspects of their member base, from member check-in with attendance tracking to generating a wide variety of management and member reports. The Club Advantage system is supported and updated entirely from one central location, including back-up of all database records, which eliminates downtime and software upgrade delays.

The Club Advantage system supports outsourcing of member dues payment processing to eFit Financial, which significantly reduces the on-going high cost of full-time employees to administer this process. eFit Financial, functioning as an extension of the business, efficiently manages club receivables with comprehensive and cost-efficient billing and collections systems, EFT and credit card processing, designed to establish and maintain a healthy, consistent cash flow.

eFit founders John Chalk, president, and Dudley Exstrom, vice president, have over 27 years of club business experience. Prior to forming eFit in 2001, Chalk and Exstrom built and operated the nation’s leading fitness club financial services company for over 17 years.
