14 December 2024, Am Kleeberg 1-3, Lengerich. Doors opened on PARDZ Fitness Company — and the entire operating system behind those doors went live on Xircuit the same day.
PARDZ is Xircuit's first development partner. The platform runs every operational system the gym needs, and the gym's daily reality shapes the platform's next quarter. This post is the announcement; the full case study is the longer version.
What PARDZ is
PARDZ Fitness Company (operated by IKA SPORTS INVESTMENT GMBH, HRB 14849 Steinfurt) is an independent fitness facility in Lengerich, Westphalia — 2,000 m² of training floor, open 365 days a year. The studio combines a traditional plate-loaded zone, the EGYM smart training system, a dedicated Ladies Area, Cyber-Cycling, and a K1 kickboxing programme led by Arbnor Zeqa — world and European champion. Co-founder Ilkan Kaan Alarslan is a top German Taekwondo competitor and a law student. The two of them are the operators on the floor.
Memberships run €39.90–€59.90 per month, monthly cancellable per German consumer law. PARDZ accepts Hansefit and EGYM Wellpass cards alongside its own membership, runs nutrition planning and body-composition analytics as part of every tier, and the floor stays open from 6 AM to midnight on weekdays.
What "development partner" means here
A development partner is the customer that gets to shape the platform. PARDZ runs Xircuit in production today — and PARDZ's operators feed the Xircuit roadmap with what actually broke at the front desk this morning. Not a logo on a marketing page. A bidirectional working relationship.
This matters because PARDZ is the first deployment, the first stress test, and the first independent voice on what Xircuit needs to do next. We owe them sharper iteration than we owe anyone who comes later.
What runs on Xircuit for PARDZ today
The full operational stack, all live in production since Grand Opening:
- Member management — membership records, contracts at the €39.90–€59.90 tiers, SEPA mandates, dunning on failed payments, monthly cancellation per German consumer law.
- Booking & scheduling — classes, Cyber-Cycling slots, K1 sessions, Lady Fitness. Capacity limits and waitlists.
- Billing — recurring SEPA collection, dunning copy, payment retry logic.
- Access control + check-in — door access, attendance tracking.
- Communications — staff broadcasts, member emails, automated lifecycle messaging.
- Reporting & analytics — occupancy, retention, MRR, the cohort views the owners actually use.
- Public marketing site at pardz.de.
- Member portal UI — where members log in, view classes, manage their membership.
- Hansefit and EGYM Wellpass integrations — live, with both flows landing in the same booking pipeline as direct PARDZ members.
PARDZ launched with 500+ founding members already onboarded into Xircuit on Grand Opening day. No migration phase, no parallel-systems period.
Why a gym was the right first deployment
Independent service businesses with recurring memberships, scheduled capacity, physical access, German tax + GDPR, and third-party platform integrations stress nearly every surface of Xircuit at once. If the platform works for PARDZ, the adjacent verticals — studios, wellness facilities, training centres — look a lot more straightforward.
It also keeps the operators close. PARDZ is a 25-minute drive from ThreeBIT's office in Ibbenbüren. When a Tuesday-morning friction point at the front desk turns into a roadmap item by Thursday, that's because the loop is short.
What's next
PARDZ's feedback feeds the next Xircuit quarter. We'll write about specific features as they ship, not as they're planned.
