The deal comes amid a year of consolidation across the fitness software and payments space

Daxko, a software and payments provider, has added another piece to its growing fitness tech portfolio with the acquisition of Exercise.com, a gym management software company that focuses on boutique fitness studios.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The acquisition builds on Daxko’s recent expansion streak. In September, the company acquired Vision, a longtime software partner of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, extending its footprint to nearly 30% of Clubs nationwide. The deal was designed to reduce administrative burdens for club leaders while expanding access to Daxko’s member management and engagement tools. That move followed Daxko’s purchase of ARC, a platform supporting Jewish Community Centers.

“This acquisition reinforces our commitment to serving fitness businesses of every size and model, from independent studios to multi-location clubs,” Daxko CEO Jeff VanDixhorn said. “Exercise.com’s proven platform and team align perfectly with our strategy to help fitness organizations thrive while improving the lives of the people and communities they serve.”

Exercise.com will continue operating under its existing platform and team, with Daxko’s backing expected to speed innovation and scale. The companies said the goal is to more tightly link coaching, operations and payments in one data-driven system designed to help fitness businesses grow.

“The future of boutique fitness belongs to the platforms that help owners run smarter, connect deeper and grow faster,” Exercise.com founder and CEO Joel Ohman said. “We’ve built a strong foundation for that vision, and joining Daxko, a recognized leader in fitness, gives us the reach, resources and go-to-market strength to take it further—bringing more value to fitness professionals and their members.”

The Daxko–Exercise.com acquisition adds to a growing list of fitness technology deals in 2025.

In July, Echelon Fitness acquired Fortë to scale its enterprise software platform, while in September, Xplor Technologies and Clubessential Holdings announced plans to merge, forming a multi-vertical global software and payments provider serving more than 130,000 customers across fitness, wellness and recreation.

Cardiorespiratory fitness is reduced in psoriatic arthritis, with higher disease activity and adiposity predicting lower VO2peak.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Psoriatic Arthritis

In a cross-sectional cohort of 80 adults with psoriatic arthritis, investigators quantified peak oxygen uptake using incremental maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Mean VO2peak measured 26.03 mL per minute per kilogram, corresponding to 74% of a physically active reference population. Forty one percent of participants met the threshold for impaired cardiorespiratory fitness. The between group difference reached statistical significance with p less than 0.001.

Determinants of Lower VO2peak

Multivariable models adjusted for age and sex explained a substantial proportion of fitness variance with an adjusted R squared of 0.71. Higher psoriatic arthritis disease activity was associated with lower VO2peak. Greater waist hip ratio also related to lower VO2peak, which highlights the importance of body composition in this population. Higher patient reported disease impact on the Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease questionnaire showed a negative association with VO2peak. In contrast, more minutes per week of moderate to vigorous physical activity during commuting and leisure related positively to VO2peak.

Clinical Implications for Practice

These results show that many individuals with psoriatic arthritis have impaired cardiorespiratory fitness despite treatment advances. The pattern links inflammation, unfavorable anthropometrics, and perceived disease burden with lower exercise capacity. Routine assessment of physical activity and simple anthropometric indices can help identify patients at higher risk. Integrating structured aerobic conditioning alongside disease control and weight management may support improvement in peak oxygen uptake and daily function. Cardiometabolic risk assessment remains important since reduced fitness often tracks with broader health outcomes.
