Best Gym Management Software in 2026

14 gym and fitness studio management platforms compared on membership billing, booking, apps and published prices, ranked by scale and price transparency.

Gym management software is the operating system of a fitness business: it handles membership sales and recurring billing, class and appointment scheduling, check-in and door access, point-of-sale, staff payroll, member apps, marketing and reporting. Products in the category serve everything from large multi-site health clubs and franchises to boutique studios, CrossFit boxes, martial arts schools and personal trainers.

This list compares fourteen platforms sold in 2026. It includes enterprise club systems from ABC Fitness, global marketplaces such as Mindbody, boutique-studio specialists such as Mariana Tek and Momence, and small-gym tools such as PushPress, Gymdesk and Arbox that publish their prices. Figures come from the vendors' own pricing and company pages, opened in November 2026.

The category overlaps with salon and spa booking software, which shares appointment and point-of-sale features, and with coaching apps used by online personal trainers. Products here are included only where they manage memberships and recurring billing for a physical fitness facility.

What is gym management software

Gym management software combines the back-office functions of a membership business with member-facing tools. The back office covers member records, contracts and freezes, recurring direct debit and card billing, failed-payment recovery, point-of-sale for retail and personal training packages, staff scheduling and payroll, and financial reporting. Member-facing tools include online booking for classes and appointments, a branded or marketplace mobile app, digital waivers, check-in by QR code or key fob, and integration with door access hardware.

The category is distinct from general booking software in its focus on recurring memberships and attendance-based pricing. It also differs from workout tracking apps, which record training sessions but do not bill members, though several platforms now bundle performance tracking for CrossFit and functional fitness gyms. Larger clubs connect gym software with CRM software for lead management and with accounting software for financial close.

Vendors tend to specialise by facility type. Enterprise club systems such as ABC Ignite and PerfectGym target high-volume, multi-site clubs; Mindbody, Mariana Tek and Momence focus on boutique studios such as yoga, Pilates and cycling; Zen Planner, PushPress and Gymdesk target CrossFit boxes, martial arts schools and independent gyms.

History and market

Club management software has existed since before the web. ABC Fitness states that its founder began addressing industry problems more than four decades ago, and the company now employs nearly 2,000 people, serves customers in more than 100 countries and says it is trusted by 40% of US clubs.

The market has consolidated around a few groups. ABC Fitness acquired Glofox in 2022 and now sells it as ABC Glofox alongside ABC Ignite, ABC Evo, ABC Trainerize and ABC GymSales. Mindbody's parent company is Playlist, which also supplies the AI platform behind some Mindbody products. Mariana Tek is part of Xplor Group, Pike13 now carries the Jonas Software name in its footer, and PerfectGym's site names Sport Alliance GmbH as the copyright holder.

At the small-gym end, newer vendors compete on transparent pricing and payments. PushPress offers a free plan funded by payment processing fees, and Gymdesk and Zen Planner price by active member counts. AI features, such as Mindbody's AI Concierge front desk and TeamUp's AI Business Advisor, became common in 2025 and 2026.

Key features to compare

Membership billing and payments

Recurring billing is the revenue engine of a gym. Compare card and bank-debit processing rates, failed-payment retries and whether the vendor requires its own payment processor. PushPress publishes processing rates per plan, from 4.99% plus US$0.30 on its free plan to 2.75% plus US$0.30 on Max. Gymdesk charges US$25 to US$40 more a month if a gym uses its own processor.

Scheduling and booking

Class booking with waitlists, spot selection and appointment booking for personal training are standard. Mindbody adds Client Pick-a-Spot and room and resource management on its Accelerate plan.

Member app

Most vendors offer a branded app as a paid add-on: Zen Planner at US$39 a month, Gymdesk at US$100 a month and TeamUp at £79 a month. Mindbody also lists businesses in its consumer marketplace app.

Access control

Door access lets members enter unstaffed facilities. Gymdesk sells door access at US$100 a month for up to three doors, and Wellyx includes premium access control from its Exceed plan.

Marketing and lead management

Lead capture, automated emails and texts and retention campaigns are often in higher tiers or add-ons, such as Zen Planner Ultimate and TeamUp's Marketing Suite.

Multi-location and franchise support

Franchise operators need central reporting and per-location pricing. PerfectGym prices per club, and Mindbody and Wellyx offer enterprise plans for franchises.

Performance tracking

CrossFit and functional fitness gyms often want workout logging and leaderboards; TeamUp sells TeamUp Perform for this purpose.

Pricing models

Gym software uses four main pricing approaches. Tiered flat subscriptions are the most common: Wellyx charges US$99, US$199 or US$299 a month, Arbox from US$39 to US$239 a month billed annually, and Mindbody's entry plan starts from US$79 a month.

Active-member pricing scales with the number of paying members. Zen Planner starts at US$99, US$198 or US$348 a month for its three plans and adjusts each month by active members; Gymdesk runs from US$75 a month for up to 50 active members to US$200 for up to 250; TeamUp shows US$189 a month for 101–200 active customers.

Payment-funded plans charge little or nothing in subscription and earn from payment processing. PushPress's free plan has no monthly fee but higher processing rates, while Pro (US$159) and Max (US$229) lower those rates.

Per-club enterprise pricing applies to large operators: PerfectGym lists starting prices of €179 to €575 per club plus a one-time onboarding fee, while ABC Fitness, Glofox, Momence and Virtuagym quote individually. Add-ons such as branded apps, door access and marketing suites can double the base subscription.

How to choose

Large clubs and chains with high member volumes and multiple sites usually compare ABC Ignite and PerfectGym, which are built for club operations and per-club contracts.

Boutique studios running classes such as yoga, Pilates, cycling or barre often choose Mindbody for marketplace exposure, Mariana Tek for a branded studio experience, or Momence for custom-quoted packages. ABC Glofox also targets boutiques and gyms.

CrossFit boxes, martial arts schools and independent gyms can compare Zen Planner, PushPress, Gymdesk and TeamUp, which publish prices and scale with membership.

Personal trainers and small studios on tight budgets can start with PushPress's free plan or Arbox's free tier, which allows five weekly sessions.

Operators outside North America should check local payment support: Gymdesk's integrated payments are available in the US and Canada only, while TeamUp, PerfectGym and Virtuagym publish pricing or operations in Europe.

Methodology

Products were selected from gym and studio management platforms active in November 2026 that handle memberships and recurring billing. They are ordered first by the scale the vendor publishes (businesses, clubs or countries served), then by breadth of facility types supported, then by pricing transparency. Vendors with enterprise club customers rank above small-gym specialists. No reviews, star ratings or hands-on tests were used, and vendor figures are labelled as company figures. All sources were accessed in November 2026.

Mindbody

Best for: Boutique studios wanting marketplace exposure

Mindbody is business management software for fitness studios, gyms and wellness businesses, combined with the Mindbody consumer app, a marketplace where clients find and book classes. Its parent company is Playlist, which provides the AI platform used by some Mindbody products.

Mindbody sells four plans. Starter, the entry plan, starts from US$79 a month according to the company's FAQ and includes business management tools, integrated payments, branded booking widgets, a business website, a Mindbody app listing and basic reporting. Accelerate adds advanced analytics, room and resource management, Client Pick-a-Spot and promo codes. Ultimate adds automated email and text campaigns, list-growth tools, a sales pipeline and a 24/7 AI front desk called AI Concierge. Enterprise is custom-priced for multi-location and franchise businesses.

All plans include unlimited users per location, and there is no onboarding fee. Listing in the Mindbody app is free, but Mindbody charges a 20% fee, capped at US$30, on a new client's first purchase made through the app. The main limitations are that only the entry price is published and that contract and cancellation terms depend on the plan signed.

Key features

  • Consumer booking marketplace app
  • Integrated payments
  • Client Pick-a-Spot (Accelerate)
  • AI Concierge front desk
  • Automated email and text marketing
  • Unlimited users per location

Pricing

Starter from US$79/month; Accelerate and Ultimate quote-based; Enterprise custom. No onboarding fee. Payments: per-transaction rate plus US$0.10–US$0.30. Marketplace: 20% of first purchase by a new client, capped at US$30.

ABC Ignite (ABC Fitness)

Best for: Large health clubs, chains and franchises

ABC Fitness is the largest specialist supplier of software to health clubs. The company says it is trusted by 40% of clubs in the United States, employs nearly 2,000 people, works remote-first with campus locations worldwide and serves customers in more than 100 countries.

Its product family includes ABC Ignite, club management software for gyms and clubs; ABC Evo, gym management software for Latin America, which alone serves more than 5,500 clubs, gyms, studios, boxes, dance schools and sports centres; ABC Glofox for boutiques and studios; ABC Trainerize, a coaching app; ABC GymSales, a fitness CRM; ABC XLerate for member engagement; and AI agents. This breadth lets a large operator run billing, sales, coaching and engagement with one vendor.

ABC's strengths are its experience with high-volume membership billing and its scale. The drawbacks are that prices are not published, contracts are negotiated, and the multi-product family can mean several systems to integrate. Ownership and headquarters were not stated on the company's about page.

Key features

  • Club management and membership billing (Ignite)
  • Latin America product (Evo)
  • Coaching app (Trainerize)
  • Fitness CRM (GymSales)
  • Member engagement CRM (XLerate)
  • AI agents

3

ABC Glofox

Best for: Boutique studios wanting a branded member app

Glofox is member management software for boutique studios, gyms and fitness businesses. It was acquired by ABC Fitness in 2022, which now sells it as ABC Glofox. The product covers class scheduling, membership sales and billing, a branded member app, lead management and reporting.

Glofox does not publish prices; its pricing page is a four-step quote form that asks for business type, number of locations and details before showing a price. The page lists review counts on third-party sites rather than plan contents.

Glofox suits studios that want a branded app rather than marketplace listing, and that may later want access to ABC's wider product family. Its limitations are opaque pricing and the possibility that the product roadmap is shaped by the parent company's strategy across several overlapping products, including ABC Ignite and ABC Evo.

Key features

  • Class scheduling and booking
  • Membership billing
  • Branded member app
  • Lead management
  • Multi-location support

Pricing

Quote-based through an online form (business type, locations, details).

The company states that more than 10,000 fitness businesses and 50,000 personal trainers use its software, reaching more than 35 million consumers in over 80 countries.

Virtuagym's combination of membership management and coaching tools suits gyms that sell personal training and workout programmes as well as memberships. It offers a free trial and demo, but prices were not shown on the page reviewed, and buyers should compare the total cost of the branded app and video add-ons.

Best for: Premium boutique studios and fitness franchises

Mariana Tek is boutique fitness management software from Xplor Mariana Tek, part of Xplor Group.

In late 2026 the company advertised an onboarding fee of US$27 for new customers signing by 18 December 2026. Ongoing subscription prices are not listed on the main page.

  • Multi-location management
  • 45+ integration partners
  • Financing and insurance services

Zen Planner

Best for: CrossFit boxes, martial arts schools and independent gyms

Zen Planner is membership management software for gyms, CrossFit boxes, martial arts schools and studios. It publishes three plans. Studio, from US$99 a month, covers membership management, billing and scheduling, staff and member mobile apps, attendance tracking and reporting, and payment processing and payroll. Essentials, from US$198, adds a customisable branded website, lead capture and SEO optimisation. Ultimate, from US$348, adds marketing automation and CRM, AI-powered email and text campaigns and lead and retention tools.

Pricing is based on active members, meaning people with a membership or who attended an event in the previous month; prospects, staff and drop-in attendees are not counted, and the bill adjusts monthly. Plans are month-to-month, with annual contracts on request, and multi-location gyms are priced by locations and members. Add-ons include a branded mobile app at US$39 a month, card readers at US$39 a month and Zen Planner Engage from US$249 a month.

Zen Planner suits independent gyms that want predictable entry pricing. Costs rise as membership grows, and its best marketing tools are in the most expensive tier.

Key features

  • Staff and member apps
  • Branded website (Essentials)
  • Marketing automation and CRM (Ultimate)

PerfectGym

Best for: Multi-club operators and chains in Europe

PerfectGym is club management software for gyms, fitness clubs and chains, developed by Perfect Gym Solutions sp. z o.o.; the copyright notice on its site names Sport Alliance GmbH. It is aimed at operators that need membership billing, access control, class booking, member apps and multi-club reporting.

The company publishes per-club starting prices for four plans: Studio from €179, Club from €349, Business from €449 and Enterprise from €575. Each higher plan includes the features of the one below. A one-time professional onboarding fee applies on every plan and depends on implementation scope, and some add-ons and advanced features carry one-time setup fees. After contract signature, an invoice is issued with payment due within 14 days by card or wire transfer.

PerfectGym's per-club pricing makes multi-site budgeting straightforward and suits European chains. Its limitations are that add-on prices and premium success plans are not listed, and onboarding costs must be quoted separately.

Key features

  • Membership billing
  • Access control
  • Class booking
  • Member app
  • Multi-club reporting

Pike13

Best for: Swim schools, kids' activities and multi-activity facilities

Pike13 is business management software for client-based businesses that run classes, appointments or memberships. Its features cover scheduling, billing and payments, services, client management, reporting, mobile apps and integrations.

Pike13 targets a wider range of businesses than most gym platforms, including fitness and sports, swim schools, dance, music and arts, education and tutoring, health and wellness, recreation, professional services, franchises and children's activities. The company says it is trusted by more than 1,700 companies, and its site footer names Pike13 Inc. and Jonas Software.

Pike13 suits multi-activity businesses, such as a facility running swim lessons, kids' classes and adult fitness, that need flexible scheduling for different service types. A free trial is available, but prices are on a separate page and were not verified for this review. Gyms that mainly need door access and open-floor memberships may find dedicated gym software more suitable.

Key features

  • Class and appointment scheduling
  • Billing and payments
  • Client management
  • Mobile apps
  • Reporting
  • Franchise support

PushPress

Best for: New and small gyms with minimal software budget

PushPress is gym management software for independent gyms and studios that offers a permanently free plan. The Free plan has no monthly fee and covers basic scheduling, billing and member tracking, with card processing at 4.99% plus US$0.30 and ACH at 2.89% plus US$0.30, and self-serve and AI support with 48-hour human response.

Pro costs US$159 a month and adds advanced reporting and automations, with lower processing rates of 2.89% plus US$0.30 for cards and 0.79% plus US$0.30 for ACH, live human support and scheduled video help calls. Max costs US$229 a month and cuts card processing to 2.75% plus US$0.30, aimed at multi-location and larger gyms. All plans include unlimited leads, members, admins and staff. Add-ons listed in its FAQ include Train at US$79 a month, Grow at US$329, a branded app at US$97 and a full stack bundle at about US$559.

PushPress is attractive to new gyms with no budget for software. The trade-off is that the free plan's processing fees are high, so established gyms usually save by upgrading.

Key features

  • Free plan with no monthly fee
  • Scheduling and recurring billing
  • Automations (Pro and Max)
  • Unlimited members and staff
  • Branded app add-on

10

TeamUp

Best for: Studios and gyms wanting all core features without tiers

TeamUp is booking and membership software for gyms, studios and fitness businesses. It does not divide its core product into tiers: all core features are included in one subscription priced by active customers, meaning people who registered or made a purchase in the previous month. Its pricing page shows US$189 a month for 101–200 active customers, with a slider for other bands.

Core features include memberships, appointments, waivers, online booking and courses; scheduling, staff pay rates, calendar sync and access control; marketing integrations, referrals and lead management; online and in-person payments, a store, point-of-sale and gift cards; reports and an AI Business Advisor; and email, SMS and on-demand content.

Optional add-ons are priced in pounds sterling: a Marketing Suite at £89 a month, a custom branded app at £79 and TeamUp Perform, a CrossFit-style performance tracking app with leaderboards, at £79. The main drawback is that the base price for each customer band is not listed in full on the page.

Key features

  • All core features in one plan
  • Access control
  • Point-of-sale and store
  • AI Business Advisor
  • Unlimited locations
  • Performance tracking add-on

Pricing

Using another payment processor raises each price by US$25 to US$40. Gymdesk Payments is available in the US and Canada. Plans are month-to-month with a 30-day free trial and no card required; frozen or cancelled members, visitors and prospects do not count.

Add-ons include extra locations at US$50 a month (or US$100 with an outside processor), door access in beta at US$100 a month for up to three doors plus US$29 per extra door, and a branded member app at US$100 a month.

Excel, at US$99 a month, covers membership management, online bookings and scheduling for small and mid-sized studios. Exceed, at US$199, adds lead management, point-of-sale and premium access control for growing facilities. Ultimate, at US$299, adds marketing automation, staff management, inventory tracking and loyalty programmes for single and multi-location providers.

Plans can be billed monthly, quarterly or yearly, and no long-term contract is required. Optional services such as a branded app may cost extra, and franchises and enterprise studios can request custom pricing. New fitness studios receive 50% off for their first 12 months.

Wellyx's clear pricing and startup discount suit new and growing studios. Its limitations are a smaller published customer base than larger competitors and a feature comparison that does not show every feature by plan.

Key features

  • Premium access control (Exceed)
  • Marketing automation (Ultimate)

14

Momence

Best for: Studios wanting a custom-quoted package

Momence is business management software for fitness studios and wellness businesses that run classes, appointments and memberships.

Momence does not publish plan prices. Its pricing page states that every business is different and asks prospective customers to describe their business so that Momence can propose pricing; it also offers a free trial and a demo.

Momence suits studios that want a custom package and are willing to negotiate. Its limitations are the absence of public prices, which makes cost comparison with transparent competitors such as Zen Planner, Arbox or Wellyx difficult, and limited published information about scale or ownership.

Key features

  • Class and appointment scheduling
  • Membership billing
  • Custom-quoted packages

Frequently asked questions

What is the best gym management software for a small gym?

Small gyms often compare PushPress, Gymdesk, Zen Planner, TeamUp, Arbox and Wellyx, all of which publish prices. PushPress has a free plan funded by processing fees, Gymdesk starts at US$75 a month for up to 50 active members, Zen Planner at US$99, and Arbox offers a free tier with plans from US$39 a month billed annually.

How much does gym management software cost?

Published prices range from free (PushPress, Arbox) to about US$300 a month for small-gym plans, such as Wellyx Ultimate at US$299 or Arbox Professional at US$299 billed monthly. PerfectGym charges from €179 to €575 per club plus onboarding. Enterprise systems from ABC Fitness, Mariana Tek and Glofox are quote-based. Branded apps, door access and marketing add-ons increase the total.

Is there free gym management software?

PushPress offers a permanently free plan with scheduling, billing and member tracking, but charges higher card processing at 4.99% plus US$0.30. Arbox's free plan allows five weekly sessions with client management, payments and a client app. Free plans suit new businesses; growing gyms usually save money by upgrading to plans with lower processing rates.

What features should gym software have?

Essential features are membership sales with recurring billing, class and appointment booking, check-in, point-of-sale, a member app and reporting. Larger gyms also need door access control, staff payroll, lead management and marketing automation, multi-location reporting and integrations with accounting software. CrossFit gyms may add workout tracking and leaderboards.

Who owns Glofox and Mindbody?

Glofox was acquired by ABC Fitness in 2022 and is now sold as ABC Glofox alongside ABC Ignite and ABC Evo. Mindbody's parent company is Playlist, which also provides the AI platform used by some Mindbody products. Mariana Tek belongs to Xplor Group, and Pike13's site footer names Jonas Software.

What is the difference between Mindbody and gym software like Zen Planner?

Mindbody combines business software with a consumer marketplace app in which clients discover and book studios, charging a fee on new clients' first purchases. Zen Planner and similar tools focus on running the gym itself, pricing by active members, and rely on the gym's own website and branded app for bookings rather than a shared marketplace.
