2 min read Updated 1 day ago

Use the Mass Prospect Upload Tool to import leads and prospects into your GymMaster database in bulk.

Access the Upload Tool

Prepare Your Spreadsheet

Before uploading:

  • Use the column headers from the Starting Spreadsheet Template
  • Copy and paste the template headers into your spreadsheet exactly as provided
  • Columns can be in any order, but header names must match exactly
  • Complete member_firstname and lastname for every prospect
  • All other fields are optional
  • Remove any columns you don’t intend to use
  • Save the file as .xlsx
  • Use a consistent date format throughout the spreadsheet

Optional Import Settings


Setting Purpose
Issue New Member IDs Generates new GymMaster member IDs instead of importing existing IDs from another system
Import Additional Columns Imports custom data that isn’t normally stored in GymMaster. This data is saved as Labels and can be used for reporting and filtering

Example: A column named prospect_source could record where each lead originated.
