FitDrive Management System: A Python-Based Gym Membership System Using OOP Principles

The FitDrive Management System is a desktop-based application developed in Python with SQLite database integration to efficiently manage gym member records. The system automates administrative tasks including adding, updating, deleting, and searching member information, significantly reducing the need for manual record-keeping. A reporting feature allows staff to view total registered members and estimated monthly revenue, improving data accessibility and organization. Input validation ensures that incomplete or invalid entries cannot be saved, enhancing accuracy. Through a structured database design and user-friendly interface, the system improves operational efficiency and minimizes errors in managing member information. The project demonstrates the practical application of Python programming, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), and database management to create a functional management system for small to medium-sized gym facilities.
