Octiv Launches Explore to Help Small Gyms Gain Visibility and Bookings

South African gym management platform Octiv has introduced a new feature called Octiv Explore. This addition turns the platform into a discovery engine for boutique and independent gyms. It aims to boost visibility and bookings for smaller fitness businesses. Octiv already supports 1,400 gyms and over 200,000 active users across 40 countries. The company secured early funding from South African angel investors and Knife Capital during a Series A round in 2022.

Octiv Explore functions as a digital storefront for every gym on the platform. Members can search, view profiles, book classes, and pay through a single, streamlined process. The feature is built to drive more traffic and conversions for independent gyms without increasing their workload.

The tool also helps small businesses operate with enterprise-level efficiency. It enables them to grow their communities and reach their full potential. Octiv Explore is now live and available to users. It provides a unified way for members to discover and engage with gyms. The feature is expected to benefit both gyms and their customers by simplifying the booking experience.
