In their own words
Gymdesk
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.
OpenMat
OpenMat is a gym management platform for schedules, memberships, payments, attendance, waivers, and member communication. Gyms can publish classes for online reservations and manage membership plans, member access, online checkout, and payout status. The service supports yoga studios, CrossFit boxes, boxing and martial arts gyms, and general fitness facilities, and gyms can begin importing schedules from the systems they already use. OpenMat runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Its OpenMat plan is free with no monthly subscription fee, though eligible online payments incur transaction fees: 1% for paid classes and 0.7% for recurring memberships. The gym or member can be assigned to pay each fee. Stripe processes online card payments and gym payouts, and gym owners must complete Stripe Connect verification before the gym can appear in public Discover. Class booking closes after the scheduled start time. OpenMat says it does not store full card numbers on its servers; card data is handled by the payment processor.
