ABC Ignite February Product Updates

February was focused on execution.

Across Compliance, M&O, and Engagement, we delivered enhancements designed to reduce friction and give operators stronger visibility into performance. These updates strengthen day-to-day operations while reinforcing long-term scalability.

Operational clarity. Stronger engagement. Smarter revenue recovery.

Manage Your Business with Confidence

Renewal Notifications

With expanding state requirements around auto renewals and annual reminders, proactive communication is critical.

Ignite + Commerce Billing now supports automated Renewal Notifications. Clubs can send pre-renewal notifications before auto renewals and annual reminders for open-ended or month-to-month agreements through automated email workflows.

This delivers:

• Stronger alignment with evolving compliance requirements
• Fewer billing disputes and chargebacks
• Reduced manual administrative effort
• Clear, documented communication with members

Compliance is increasingly complex. This release makes it operationally manageable. Reach out to your customer success manager if you’d like this enabled for you.

Bank Account Validation Launching March 20

As part of evolving Nacha compliance requirements, ABC Fitness is introducing real-time Bank Account Validation within ABC Commerce. This enhancement authenticates member bank accounts instantly during onboarding, reducing fraud risk, improving bank account quality, lowering ACH return rates, and enabling faster billing compared to traditional ACH pre-notes.

The capability is built into Commerce, available through eAPIs and the Online Member Experience, and includes an optional Pay Page for streamlined capture and authentication. A $0.50 fee applies per validation attempt.

Commerce clients will have access beginning March 20, 2026, while ACH pre-notes remain available as an interim option for non-Commerce clients. Learn more about this here.

Engage Your Members More Strategically

Side-by-Side Check-In Comparisons

Coaching decisions are only as strong as the data behind them.

Trainers can now compare multiple Check-In form submissions in a single unified view. Instead of toggling between entries, coaches can instantly identify trends, regressions, and improvements across time.

The result is faster session prep, more strategic conversations, and clearer member accountability.

Expanded Food Database

Nutrition adherence is often lost in logging friction.

With our upgraded food database of over 2-million searchable foods, members now have access to a significantly larger volume of searchable food entries. Match coverage across branded and everyday foods has improved, delivering more accurate macro tracking and fewer logging frustrations.

Better accuracy leads to stronger consistency. Stronger consistency drives better results.

Grow Your Revenue More Intelligently

4-Week Recurring Service Billing Now Available

Clubs now have more flexibility in recurring service billing with the option to bill every four weeks instead of once per calendar month. This structure creates an additional billing cycle per year, increasing annual revenue potential while maintaining predictable recurring payments.

For clubs offering recurring services, this provides a simple structural lever to drive incremental revenue without changing pricing.

The Direction Is Clear

February reinforces a consistent focus:

1. Operational discipline
2. Data-driven coaching
3. Frictionless member experiences
4. Revenue optimization through smarter billing structures

Ignite continues to evolve as a connected platform that helps you manage more efficiently, engage more meaningfully, and grow more predictably.

More to come next month.
