"Print Studio was the right software at the right time. We
needed a full featured solution for printing membership cards for
our new club. Print Studio was one of the best decisions we made
in the setup of our business."

About Cardio Fit
Cardio Fit is a full-service Health Club located in Rancho Cucamonga,
California. Offering services including a workout facility, personal
training, pilates, boxing, aerobics, and free-weight training
in a neighborhood style gym. They currently serve more than 1,500
members in a 12,000 square foot facility.
Challenge
After purchasing an existing fitness center in November
of 2003, Mr. Holzman and his business partner were looking to
implement a membership card identification
system as cost effectively as possible. As the majority of their
funds were already dedicated to new equipment, maintenance, and
advertising, they were looking for a solution that would produce
a professional result as affordably as possible.
Solution
In Print Studio, Cardio Fit found exactly what they were looking
for. They use Print Studio to produce professional membership
and key chain cards on demand for their members.
"Print Studio works great. It is easy to use, works with
our card printers and is perfect for what we need. Technical
and sales support are great. We now print about 150 cards a month
and an additional 100-200 key chain cards every couple of months.
Print Studio keeps us looking great with little worry or effort," explains
Mr. Holzman.
Cardio Fit appreciates how even the more advanced
features offered by Print Studio, such as the ability to retrieve
data from an existing membership database, program magnetic
stripes, and create barcodes can be done quickly and simply.
"Since using Print Studio, our corporate image has improved
and our ability to track members by 'scanning' them in
at the front counter has improved dramatically," says Mr.
Holzman.
Benefits
- Ability to retrieve magnetic stripe and barcode data from an
existing database
- Support for a large variety of card formats and printers
- Easy to use software and instructions
- Excellent technical support
In Summary
"Print Studio was the right software at the right time for our company. It had
everything we needed to solve our printing needs for membership tracking," says
Mr. Holzman.
