The main objective of this work is to build a platform for gym management. The work includes a study of different Gym Management Systems to determine the essential elements of such kind of system. The study was carried out based on a group of indicators that allowed to identify the elements that should be considered essentials in a GMS. To study the relevance of the use of GMS in the district of Leiria, a survey was carried out with the owners and/or managers of gyms in the area. The study also served to contrast the study on the desired characteristics for a GMS and the perception that gym staff have about them. Another of the elements included in the research work are the study of the main methodologies, tools, and technologies used in the implementation of a GMS. The system must be a solution that includes a web application and a mobile application. These technologies include Microsoft Azure, Terraform, Microsoft ASP NET Core and React. Scrum was used as a software development methodology. The core concept of this architecture is the concept of Microservice. Microservices is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of services. The idea is to group the businesses that look similar in the system and develop them as individual units. The development of a microservices system becomes to develop small system’s units that are more manageable, maintainable, and scalable. The GMS modules were implemented according to the design of the application screens. The implementation and testing stages demonstrated one of the main qualities of the GMS design, its extensibility. To test the correct functioning of Gym-Suite, unit, integration, and system tests were carried out. The tests results were satisfactory. The deployment of the Gym-Suit GMS also was successful.
