About Kinely

It started with one question on a gym floor.

"Why can't a gym owner just ask their gym what's going on?"

Robin Carruthers is 54 and has run gym floors for three decades. He knows the sound a gym makes when it's healthy — and the silence it makes when a member quietly stops showing up six weeks before their renewal lapses.

What he also knew, intimately, was the other side of running a gym in India: nights drowning in spreadsheets, juggling software built for American boutique studios that had never heard of UPI, GST, or a front desk that runs on WhatsApp. He watched gym owners around him lose renewals they could have saved — not because they didn't care, but because the answer was buried in a report nobody had time to open.

The fix wasn't another dashboard. It was software that answers like a colleague.

So Kinely started as that one question — and became an attempt to build the honest answer: a gym you can talk to. Ask it who's about to lapse, what came in today, which trainer's clients keep renewing — and get an answer in plain language, the way a sharp floor manager would tell you.

Why "Kinely"

Movement, understood.

The name comes from kinesis — the Greek root for movement (kinein, "to move"). Movement is the whole point: every rep on the floor, every member walking back through the door. Kinely is our shorthand for what we're building — movement, understood.

Why trust us

Real gym. Real books. Honest about the stage.

We'd rather show you exactly where we are than impress you with numbers we don't have.

Proof

Built inside a real gym

Kinely runs eGym Lokhandwala in Mumbai — a real, paying gym, with 11 years of its actual books migrated in. Every feature got tested on a live front desk before it shipped.

Live

The product is live today

This isn't a concept deck. TraqGym runs the gym daily, the brain — a knowledge graph of every rep and every payment — answers real questions about real data, and you can watch it work at kinely.ai/app.

Honesty

One paying gym — and we say so

We're at the start: one paying gym live. The rupee figures you'll see in our migrated data are that gym's collections over 11 years — its revenue, not ours. We don't dress up numbers.

The people

An operator and a builder.

Robin Carruthers

Founder & CEO — the operator

54. Three decades on gym floors. Runs eGym Lokhandwala day-to-day — the gym Kinely was built and tested in. He's the reason every feature has to survive contact with an actual front desk, an actual trainer, an actual member at 6 a.m.

54 + 32 the operator + the builder

That pairing is the edge. Three decades of floor wisdom steering — knowing which renewal call actually saves a member, which report nobody reads. And builder-generation speed executing — shipping AI software at the pace this moment demands. Neither works without the other.
