How a gym owner got fed up — and built the solution.
Running VIP Fit Club in Rochester, NY, Colin Vega faced the same problem every fitness operator knows: too many apps that don't talk to each other. Mindbody for scheduling. Stripe for billing. Brivo for access. HubSpot for CRM. Twilio for SMS. Each one opened in a different tab, each one generating a different login, each one charging a different monthly bill.
A member cancels Stripe. The door still opens. Another member fails to pay. You find out three weeks later. You can't see churn coming. You're paying $600/month to feel like you're running blind.
After years of duct-taping tools together with Zapier and spreadsheets, Colin partnered with Laravel architect Arslan Rajput to build the platform he wished existed: a single operating system where Stripe events automatically control physical door access, where AI surfaces churn risk before it costs you revenue, and where every location rolls up to one owner dashboard.
That's Vega Command. Built by an operator. Validated by the pain. Launching September 2026 — and already changing how fitness businesses run.
Small Team. Big Output.
Two people who built exactly what the market needed — no board, no bloat, no bull.
Fitness business owner, military veteran, and government sector project manager. Colin ran VIP Fit Club and felt the exact pain Vega Command solves. He handles product vision, customer discovery, go-to-market strategy, and everything in between a startup founder does.
Backend architect with deep Laravel expertise. Arslan designed the multi-tenant architecture, Stripe webhook event system, OpenPath integration layer, and Gemini AI pipeline that powers every Vega Command feature. He turns complex requirements into clean, scalable systems.

Every feature was validated by a real fitness business owner facing a real problem. We build for the operator, not the investor deck.
Stripe events control your doors in real time. That's not a feature — it's a design principle. Everything in Vega Command is connected at the data layer, not just via API.
