BoxBoard vs Gymdesk

BoxBoard helps coaches and gyms schedule workouts, track member progress, and support communities running daily functional workouts. Its journal brings personal records, scores, and past workouts together, while the AI Programming Scheduler creates a balanced week that users can edit. Coaches can paste a workout webpage link and review the extracted title, scoring, and details before logging or scheduling it. Membership plans can accept card and Apple Pay payments through Stripe, and members can manage cancellation or resumption. Each membership transaction incurs Stripe processing of about 2.9% + 30¢ plus a 2% BoxBoard fee. The service is available on iOS and the web. Basic Garage Gym is free for gyms with up to five members and includes scheduling one workout. RX Plan costs $25 a month and includes unlimited members, unlimited workout scheduling, AI-powered workouts and chat, member check-in, class support, and membership billing. BoxBoard also offers a browser-based TV leaderboard that refreshes automatically and spreadsheet or CSV imports with a preview.

Gymdesk is gym management software for member records, billing, attendance, promotions, and bookings. It serves fitness gyms and businesses in martial arts, gymnastics, yoga, dance, Pilates, and CrossFit. Staff use the management system in a web browser, while members can use a mobile app to view schedules and attendance history, book or cancel classes, track rank progress, message the gym, and manage account details. The software supports onboarding, self check-in, and online or in-person payments, including one-time and recurring charges, automatic retries, and payment notifications. Listed payment options include Gymdesk Payments, Stripe, Square, Authorize.net, GoCardless, and Ezypay; other integrations include Zapier, Rhombus, ActiveCampaign, and Zoom. Plans are month to month, with a 14-day trial and no contract, setup fee, or cancellation cost. The Micro Gym plan is $75 a month for up to 50 active members. Each additional location costs $50 per month; a branded member app costs $100 per month.
