12 Best Gym Software (2026): Top Picks, Real Pricing and Who Each Fits

PushPress is the only tool here that lets a new gym open with zero software cost. Core Free covers the real work — member management, automated billing, class scheduling, digital waivers and a member app — with unlimited members, staff and admins. Core Pro costs $159 a month and adds reporting and automations, while cutting the card rate from 4.99% to 2.89% plus $0.30.

The catch is the add-on stack. Grow CRM costs $329 a month, Train starts at $79, and the branded app is $97, so a full setup lands near $559 a month before processing fees. The free plan's 4.99% card rate also means real volume costs more than $0 suggests. Start free, move to Pro when the lower rate pays for itself, and add Grow only when lead follow-up is the bottleneck.

Mindbody is the industry standard for a reason: it is the platform most gyms, studios and wellness brands run on, and its consumer marketplace puts classes in front of people already searching nearby. Starter costs $99 a month per location and includes online booking, integrated payments, automated reminders, reporting and a bookable website, with unlimited staff logins.

The trade-offs are price transparency and contracts. Only Starter's price is published — Accelerate and the top tier are quote-based — and setup runs through a sales conversation with 12-month terms. Marketing automation and AI front-desk support sit on the top tier. Buy Mindbody when the marketplace and the deepest feature set matter more than a published price list.

ABC Glofox is the polished pick for boutique studios and growing franchises. Its member and staff apps are the smoothest here for class booking and check-in, and multi-location management scales from two locations to two thousand. Plans start at $99 a month per location, and behaviour-based retention tools flag members whose attendance drops before they cancel.

The catch is that only the $99 floor is published. Essential, Boost and Elite are all request-pricing, so the real quote above entry comes from sales, and recent reviews report steep increases since the ABC Fitness acquisition. The branded app is an add-on on the lower tiers. Choose Glofox when the member experience and franchise tooling justify a sales conversation.

Zen Planner charges for active members, not features: every plan includes 100% of Studio's features, and the bill follows the roster. Studio starts at $99 a month for 0–45 active members and rises to $289 at 251+, covering membership management, scheduling, billing, attendance and belt and rank tracking for martial arts schools.

The catch is the add-on menu. A website costs $99 a month, Engage marketing automation is $249, and the branded app is $39, so a full setup runs $387 to $577 a month before processing. There is no annual discount and no self-serve trial on the main site. Pick Zen Planner when member-count pricing and martial arts tracking fit the school.

TeamUp keeps pricing simple: one feature set at every level, priced by active customers. The entry tier costs $119 a month for up to 100 active customers and rises to $379 at 501+, and every plan includes bookings, payments, memberships, CRM basics and reporting, with nothing held back for a higher tier.

The catch is the customer-count ladder. A studio that grows past 100 active customers jumps to $189 a month, and marketing automation — the AI Receptionist and campaigns — is a separate Marketing Suite add-on from $109 a month. There is no free plan. Choose TeamUp when you want every feature from day one and a bill that tracks customers, not tiers.

Wodify is built for CrossFit and functional fitness, and it shows: workout programming, whiteboard leaderboards and athlete tracking are native, not bolted on. Essentials lists at $199 a month per location; Wodify's pricing page currently shows $99 a month (a $100-a-month saving) — checked November 9, 2026 and includes unlimited clients and employees, scheduling, billing, waivers and Ask Wodify AI.

The catch is the add-on shelf. The branded app, performance tracking and websites cost extra, higher tiers are only partly published, and there is no free plan or free trial — you buy on a demo, with a $1 first-month offer. Pick Wodify when programming and leaderboards are the product, not an afterthought.

Gymdesk is the value pick for small and mid-size gyms that want the whole operation in one place without a course to learn it. Micro costs $75 a month for up to 50 active members with Gymdesk Payments, and every tier includes members, billing, class booking, attendance, POS, facility access and marketing tools.

The catch is the member-count ladder and the payments tie-in. Using your own processor adds $25 a month, the price rises to $200 at 201–400 members, and reporting is lighter than the specialists'. SMS is a paid add-on and support runs weekdays, not 24/7. Choose Gymdesk when a simple all-in-one at $75 beats a modular stack.

WellnessLiving publishes every tier upfront, which is rare in this list: Starter is $69 a month for one staff member, Business is $199 and BusinessPro is $349, with annual billing cutting Starter to $62. Every tier covers scheduling, payments, marketing and reporting in one system, with a branded app and a consumer marketplace.

The catch is the staff cap on Starter. One staff login covers a solo operator, but a studio with instructors starts at Business for $199 a month, so the real entry price for most studios is three figures. Marketing depth is thinner than Mindbody's, and the interface shows its age in places. Pick WellnessLiving when published pricing and a full tier list matter.

Vagaro is the cheapest credible start in this list at $30 a month for one bookable calendar, with each extra calendar at $10 up to seven. That buys online booking, POS, client management, email marketing and a website builder in one subscription, with no contracts and a 30-day free trial.

The catch is that Vagaro is appointment software, not gym software. It has no class programming, no leaderboards and no member-count billing, and the features a gym leans on — intake forms, text marketing and the online store — are $10–$20 add-ons each. Card processing runs 2.2% to 3.5%. Choose Vagaro for a solo trainer or appointment-led studio, not a class gym.

Pike13 charges one flat rate whatever the member count: Essential is $159 a month billed monthly, or $139 billed annually, and growth never raises the software bill. Every plan includes unlimited staff seats and client profiles, plus scheduling, billing, client management and staff, client and kiosk apps.

The catch is the contract. All plans run 12 months with no month-to-month option, the branded client app waits for Premium at $249 a month, and multi-location pricing needs a sales call. It also holds the lowest G2 score here at 3.6/5. Pick Pike13 when a flat rate and the hybrid class-plus-appointment model outweigh the lock-in.

Punchpass is built around the class-pass model, which is unusual here: Grow costs $59 a month and covers unlimited classes, passes and instructors, online pass sales, private sessions, waitlists and waivers, with payments through Stripe at Stripe's standard rates and nothing added. Pricing is flat and never rises with member count.

The catch is that Grow sells passes, not memberships. Recurring memberships start on Flow at $99 a month, and Pro at $149 adds unlimited automations and the full video library. There is no native branded app — members use a web app saved to the home screen. Choose Punchpass when passes are the business and simplicity beats depth.

Momence is the only tool here that sells recorded classes next to live ones: on-demand video sits beside scheduling, billing and memberships, with email and SMS marketing built in rather than bolted on. It fits yoga, Pilates and boutique studios that run workshops, retreats and video content alongside classes, and it handles events and space rental in the same login.

The catch is that Momence publishes no prices at all. Its pricing page offers a demo and a custom quote, with no plan names, no client caps and no figures, so budgeting means a sales conversation — and older comparisons citing a free Basic plan and a $60 Pro plan no longer match the vendor's own page. Its G2 score of 3.0/5 rests on three reviews. Shortlist Momence when on-demand video and marketing matter more than a published price.
