Sparr
Find a session to train at tonight, and run the gym holding it.
Two apps in the stores, and a gym console that costs a gym nothing to run on.
Sparr started as a map. A fighter opens the app, sees the open mats, boxing classes and sparring sessions running near them tonight, takes a place, and scans a code at the door. The gym half is the part that changed. Sparr Hub used to sell a pin on that map. It is now the gym's front desk, and it is free: the roster, the memberships, who owes money, who has stopped showing up, and check-in at the door. Coach Abdallah at a boxing club in Amman said he needed a system and that Excel was painful, and that sentence rewrote the product. A gym that runs its week on Sparr never has to be sold anything. Its members are already in the app.
Why it exists
The hard part of training is not the training. It is finding someone your own weight who is free on the night you are free. Every gym in a city knows who is in its building on a Tuesday, and nobody outside that building knows any of it. Sparr started by putting that on a map: the open mats, the classes and the sparring running near you tonight, with a place you can take.
The gym half came out of one conversation. A coach at a boxing club in Amman said he needed a system, and that Excel was painful. He said it first, without being asked. That sentence moved Sparr Hub off selling gyms a pin on a map and onto running their front desk.
How it works
A fighter opens the app and sees what is on near them, by discipline, by level and by time. They take a place. At the door they scan a code, and that attendance lands on both sides of the transaction: the gym gets a register it did not have to keep, and the fighter builds a record other fighters can look at before agreeing to spar with a stranger.
The gym side is a front desk. Members, plans, who is paid up, who is late, who has quietly stopped coming. Money is a ledger rather than a number in a cell, so a mistake gets reversed and stays visible instead of being typed over. Check-in works three ways: a printed code on the wall, the desk, or the member's own phone.
Publishing a class is the part that pays for itself. A gym posts a session once, and it reaches everyone in the city who opened the app looking for one.
Where it stands
The app is live on the App Store and on Google Play, and it is free. Sparr Hub is free for the gym as well, and the free tier is not a crippled one built to make you want the paid one.
No gym is paying for it. That is a decision, not a gap: the first gyms on Hub were given it, because a gym running its week on Sparr brings its members with it, and the members are the product. The first physical thing Sparr ever put in a gym was a printed banner in a boxing club in Amman, in August 2026.
