OpenMat vs WellnessLiving

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. The help page lists an email address for platform questions.

WellnessLiving is a platform for running fitness and wellness businesses, from small yoga studios to multi-location gyms. It manages bookings, payments, staff, marketing and client loyalty in one system.
