## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-19 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> There's no single winner - the right pick depends on what kind of gym you run. Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd shortlist them:
> 
> **1. TeamUp** - My default recommendation for independent gyms and studios that just want things to work. Flat, all-features-included pricing (~$69-129/mo, scaled by active members, not feature tiers), no upsell games, and consistently the best-rated customer support in the category (~4.6 on G2). Boring in the good way.
> 
> **2. PushPress** - The standard for CrossFit boxes and strength/functional gyms. Free tier for small operations, Pro at $159/mo, Max at $229/mo. The caveat: the add-on stack (Grow, branded app) inflates fast - gym owners report $585/mo real-world bills - and payment processing at 4.19% + $0.30 is steep, which on $10k/month in dues is $419 in fees alone. Budget the full stack, not the sticker price.
> 
> **3. Gymdesk** - Best value for small-to-midsize gyms and the clear pick for martial arts (belt/rank tracking, grading, curriculum built in). $75/mo up to 50 members, $200/mo up to 400, everything included at every tier, no onboarding fee. Won Capterra's Best Ease of Use award in the 2026 rankings.
> 
> **4. Zen Planner** (Da
