Who is REVL Training? 

Offering gym-goers more than just a place to exercise, REVL Training provides its community with a judgment-free space to work out, whether they’re seasoned athletes or beginners. 

Growing REVL’s 35+ locations worldwide (currently operating in Singapore, Australia and Dubai) has been a challenging and rewarding experience for co-founders Ben Woolford (CEO) and Josh Mildren (COO). Together, alongside a team of experienced trainers and coaches, they transformed REVL Training into one of APAC’s largest health and fitness businesses.  

Making connections  

Strong relationships play a crucial role in REVL's growth and success. These connections are key not only to delivering an exceptional workout experience for members but also to maintaining strong internal ties across its global network of franchised locations. 

 And, as with any business, healthy relationships depend on reliable payments.  

Payments and steady cash flow help to keep businesses afloat. It might seem obvious, but businesses truly fall apart when it’s difficult for customers to pay. This is especially true for franchises with the scale and ambition of REVL Training. 

A close-knit relationship with Ezypay 

In 2022, REVL expanded to 10 locations across Australia and launched its first international site in Dubai. However, managing operations across these growing locations quickly highlighted the importance of streamlined systems to support billing, member management, and coordination across its network of franchises.  

That’s when REVL made the switch to Ezypay.  

Ezypay’s payment processing solution, designed for franchises, made it easy for REVL’s master franchisor and franchisees to handle memberships, payments, and admin tasks - both locally and internationally, ensuring everything ran smoothly as they grew. 

Since making the switch, REVL has experienced rapid growth, expanding further in Australia and internationally. With Ezypay’s support, they’ve been able to keep experiences for their members and staff consistent across all their locations, solidifying their position as a leading fitness franchise. 

“I think Ezypay has been super beneficial for the fact that they [REVL franchisees] don't necessarily have to worry about their payment gateway. It's easily done for them. They can submit bank details, they can submit credit cards, and obviously, the new features you guys disclosed yesterday around Apple Pay is really going to make it a lot easier for those guys to transact.” – Ben Woolford, REVL Training, CEO  

How Ezypay supports REVL Training and its franchisees  

Complex settlements made easy 

Settlement can be a complicated task, especially when you’re dealing with a business that has multiple locations, plus essential third-party payments (rent, equipment servicing, IT support and so on).  

Instead of leaving this tedious task to the REVL head office, Ezypay’s MultiSplit feature means REVL can efficiently collect funds from each franchise location, split them up as required and settle them into as many (or as few) accounts as required. This way, everyone gets paid on time, without any awkward phone calls or emails.  

“The main thing that Ezypay does around the culture of our business is the consistency. Ezypay settlement reports land at the same time every single week for our business. It makes it easy for our franchisees to be able to understand when they have failed payments, their revenue figures, and the partner payments from our perspective.” – Ben Woolford, REVL Training, CEO  

Positive cash flow for master franchisor and franchisee alike 

Positive cash flow is one of the most important drivers in any business – without this consistency, franchises as large and complex as REVL would struggle, and growth would stagnate.  

Ezypay’s consistency and steadfast approach to settlement means that REVL, its franchisees and master franchisors always have a stable bed of cash to draw from to pay staff, suppliers and to stay afloat. Payments are settled on time and on a regular, consistent basis, ensuring that every part of the REVL business has sufficient cash to draw from to make its business operate.  

"Ezypay’s approach to payments has had a really positive effect on the business and the brand, and our culture. I think the way that they do things. They keep things simple, but it's also very detailed at the same time. So their reporting that they [offer] and the feedback that we get on a weekly basis, gives us a simple understanding of where we are at. It keeps things nice and easy." –  Tyler Wooster, Owner, REVL Training Frankston.

Insightful reporting 

Franchised businesses can be complicated beasts to manage, especially when it comes to reporting. It’s essential to find the right blend between too little vs. too much information – the more franchisees and master franchisors can understand their business, the better the experience for members and the overall culture of the brand.  

Ezypay’s approach balanced the best of both worlds, offering REVL franchisees and the master franchise group a sufficient but not overwhelming level of information to help REVL understand their business and members' payment behaviour better.  

Scalable solutions that grow alongside your business 

As a maturing franchise, REVL Training continues to open brand-new locations regularly. To REVL, one of the most important parts of Ezypay’s approach is its ability to scale operations up at a moment’s notice in any geographic region where Ezypay operates.  

This makes growing a franchise and expanding into new markets or geographic regions far easier, giving more time back to Josh, Ben and the REVL Training team to dream big and grow their business.
