Timeo suits gyms and studios in Malaysia that want a flat price in ringgit, payments into their own Billplz account, WhatsApp from their own number, door hardware from the same team, and support in English and Chinese.

Why Malaysian gyms and studios pick Timeo

Built and supported here. Timeo was founded in Kuala Lumpur, and you reach the people who build it on WhatsApp.
Flat price per location. RM99 a month on Advance covers memberships, packages, classes, the member app and gate entry for one location. Another outlet is an add on from RM49 a month.
Malaysian payments to your own account. FPX and DuitNow land in your own Billplz account. Cards work too.
WhatsApp on your own number. Reminders and receipts go out from your business number, unlimited, with no credits.
Our own door hardware. The Timeo Gate reader reads the member app pass and NFC cards, checks the membership at that moment, and refuses a lapsed member. Supported turnstiles and face terminals use the same check. See the gym door access system.
English and 中文. Front desk staff can run the console in Chinese while the owner uses English.

Built for packs, capacity and instructors

Studios earn from class packs, memberships and private sessions. In Timeo a pack carries its own session count and expiry, and a member cannot book on a pack that has run out. Classes keep to capacity, run a waitlist and show the instructor. Read the full guide on Mindbody and Glofox alternatives for Malaysian studios, or compare Timeo with Glofox and Vibefam.
