Yes, a boxing gym can add a weight-loss telehealth referral revenue stream without doing any clinical work. You refer interested members to licensed online care through MedStands, and you earn a fixed or recurring monthly marketing fee while independent licensed providers and licensed pharmacies handle everything medical. Your gym does no prescribing, holds no inventory, and never touches fulfillment.
Why weight-loss referrals fit a boxing gym
A boxing gym already sits at the center of a body-composition conversation. Members walk in to cut weight for a bout, lean out for a class, or simply feel sharper, and many of them are quietly curious about medically supervised weight-loss options built around medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide. Today that curiosity usually walks back out the door and lands on whatever ad they happened to see online.
A telehealth referral program lets you point those members toward a legitimate, licensed pathway instead, and it turns the foot traffic you already have into a new revenue stream. You are not changing how you coach or run your classes. You are adding one more way your gym supports members, and getting paid a marketing fee for the introduction.

How the MedStands model works
MedStands gives your gym a simple referral toolkit: a QR code for the front desk or locker room, a link you can drop into your member emails, and printable cards you can hand out. When a member scans or clicks, they land on licensed online care, and from there everything clinical happens off your plate.
You do not diagnose anyone, you do not stock anything, and you do not process any orders. You simply make the introduction. To see the full path from a scan to a payment, walk through the MedStands model from QR code to monthly payout. The platform is LegitScript-certified, so the care your members reach is the real, compliant kind, not a gray-market shortcut.
Who handles the clinical side
This is the part that keeps a gym owner comfortable: your business does none of the clinical work. Independent licensed providers review each request and decide what, if anything, is appropriate. Licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment, refills, and shipping directly to the member. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe.
Every single request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. That is by design, and it is a good thing for your reputation. Your role begins and ends with the referral. You never give medical advice, never handle a prescription, and never manage a package.

What you earn and how the fee is set
Here is the important distinction: your payment is a fixed marketing fee that is set in advance. It is not a commission, it is not a percentage, and it is not a cut of anyone's sales. Depending on the program you choose, that fee can be a one-time amount per referral or a recurring monthly marketing fee that continues while a member stays in care.
We keep earnings talk qualitative on purpose, because every gym and every member base is different, and no honest program can promise a number. What we can say plainly is that the fee is predictable, agreed up front, and paid to you without any dependence on how much a member spends.

Getting your boxing gym set up
Joining is free. There is no setup fee and no monthly fee, which means your only real investment is putting a QR code somewhere your members will see it. You can decide whether the partner track or the affiliate track fits your situation better: the partner program is built for businesses like gyms, while the MedStands affiliate program suits individual coaches and influencers. You can also browse partner programs by industry to see how gyms compare with other verticals before you commit.
Common questions
Do I need a medical license or any clinical training?
No. You are making a referral, not practicing medicine. You never diagnose, prescribe, or advise on treatment, because independent licensed providers do all of that. Your gym simply shares a compliant link or code with members who ask about weight-loss care.
Does my gym pay anything to join?
No. The program is free to join, with no setup fee and no monthly fee. You are not buying inventory or software. You place a QR code or link, and you earn a marketing fee when members you refer engage with licensed care.
Who prescribes the medication and ships it?
Independent licensed providers review each request and prescribe when appropriate, and licensed pharmacies handle refills and shipping straight to the member. MedStands does not prescribe and holds no inventory, so your gym never touches a prescription or a package.
Is this a commission or a percentage of my members' spending?
No. Your payment is a fixed marketing fee set in advance, not a commission or a percentage of sales. It does not rise or fall with what a member spends, which keeps the arrangement clean and easy to explain to your team.
