Maria Petaccia is the founder of FlexDropin, a platform that lets people pay for one gym class at a time instead of signing a membership.
The idea came from Maria's training. Maria practices several disciplines, from Pilates to postural training. No single gym offered all of them, and committing to one gym meant giving up the others. There was no flexibility to mix classes each week.
FlexDropin launched in 2026 to fix that for people who train like Maria. Gyms sign up through Stripe Express and list their classes. Customers book a single class and pay the gym directly. The gym pays FlexDropin a commission on each sale, with no monthly fee or fixed cost. Billing to gyms runs automatically at the end of each month. The app is available on iOS and Android.
Maria speaks on flexible training, gym membership contracts, and new revenue for independent gyms.
