2026–nowNoura TrainingCRM development600+ clients · 15 trainers

Noura is a personal training studio in Trieste with over 600 clients and 15 trainers. I designed and built their custom CRM: one system where trainers, front office and management follow every client, from the first assessment to the training programme. It has been in production since October 2026 and the whole staff uses it every day.

Noura CRM client list with status, next session, trainer and medical-certificate alerts Client profile with the expired medical certificate alert, recent notes and things to watch Trainer’s Today page with certificate reminders, colleague mentions and the day’s sessions

Screenshots with sample data: no real client data

What I do

  • Building the CRM: client profile, medical history, assessment, training programmes and notes, with different views and permissions for trainers, front office, management and external professionals.
  • Medical certificates: a digital archive per client, automatic reading of the expiry date, alerts and reminders when a certificate is missing or expired.
  • Client relationships: schedule synced with the booking system, follow-ups, internal messaging between trainers and action lists to keep clients who are about to drop out.
  • Migration of the history from old spreadsheets and the previous app, with backups and data continuity.

Results

  • Over 600 client profiles in one reliable source of truth instead of scattered spreadsheets.
  • Medical certificates under control: anyone not up to date stands out immediately.
  • Every trainer working in the CRM since the October 2026 launch.

29 regattas, 2011–2026. A rough estimate: about 30% of a lap around the equator.

Skipper with an offshore licence (beyond 12 nm) since 2013. I grew up sailing a 6.9 m ketch on Lake Orta with my grandfather, then spent five seasons as a windsurf instructor in Porto Pollo, Sardinia. Since then, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, from flotillas to maxi-yacht racing.
