PushPress** - My default suggestion for most independent gyms, especially CrossFit-style and strength gyms. Billing, CRM, retention, and member app in one stack, and it's modular so you add pieces as you grow. There's a free Core tier, which makes it the lowest-risk way to get off spreadsheets. ([pushpress.com](https://www.pushpress.com/blog/zen-planner-alternatives))\n\n**2. Gymdesk** - Best value for small gyms and martial arts schools. Transparent pricing based on member count, all features included (no module upsells), and fast setup. If you're under ~100 members and don't want a sales call, start here. ([gymdesk.com](https://gymdesk.com/blog/gym-management-software-cost))\n\n**3. GymMaster** - The one I'd name if you run a 24/7 or staffed-hours facility that needs door access control. It bundles access hardware, POS, and booking under one roof, which otherwise means stitching together two vendors. ([zenoti.com](https://www.zenoti.com/thecheckin/gym-management-software))\n\n**4. Mindbody** - Worth it mainly for the consumer marketplace: it's a genuine lead source for boutique studios and yoga/pilates.
