Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd consider them:\n\n**1. PushPress** - My default recommendation for an independent gym or CrossFit-style box in the US. Best-rated of the mainstream options on value, support, and ease of use (4.7 on Capterra, with 4.8 for both value and customer service), it has a free tier to start on, and paid plans run about $159/mo. Strong payments/billing and a genuinely good owner community. ([Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/compare/159663-172781/Wodify-vs-PushPress), [PushPress](https://www.pushpress.com/blog/7-best-mindbody-alternatives-for-gym-owners-in-2026))\n\n**2. Gymdesk** - Best value if you hate add-on pricing. Roughly $75-$200/mo by member count, every feature on every plan, no upsells, and the highest review average of the bunch (~4.8). Lighter on workout programming. Good fit for small-to-mid gyms, martial arts schools, and single-location operators. ([Gymdesk](https://gymdesk.com/blog/zenplanner-alternatives))\n\n**3. Wodify** - The pick if performance tracking matters. It began as a CrossFit athlete-tracking tool, so programming, benchmarks, and leaderboards ar", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
