Case Study: Momentum Training & Crossfit Hackney achieves over 50% payment cost savings and reduced admin with GoCardless

Full integration with TeamUp reduces admin hassles, while saving money compared to PayPal

Momentum Training & Crossfit Hackney, a leading UK CrossFit gym with over 250 regular members, needed a cheaper, easier way to collect recurring membership fees after paying high PayPal costs and relying on developer help for integration. On recommendation from TeamUp, they looked to GoCardless as a lower-cost, easily integrated payment solution.

GoCardless was implemented (integrated with TeamUp) to collect recurring payments—set up in minutes—and is used alongside Stripe for one‑off payments. The GoCardless integration cut payment costs to less than half of PayPal, significantly reduced admin time (especially handling failed payments), lowered payment failure rates even as membership more than doubled, and freed up savings to support further growth.
