A CrossFit box, a boutique cycling studio, and a 24/7 access-card gym want genuinely different products. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**1. PushPress** - My default recommendation for independent gyms and CrossFit/functional-fitness boxes. Transparent flat pricing (real free tier, then ~$159/mo Core Pro, ~$229/mo Core Max, month-to-month, no contract), solid billing and check-in, and it doesn't charge by member count - so growing doesn't silently raise your bill. Add-ons (CRM/marketing, branded app) are à la carte, which is both the upside and the catch: a full stack gets expensive fast.\n\n**2. Zen Planner** - Best fit if you run martial arts, BJJ, or anything with belt/rank progression and family memberships, which it handles natively better than anyone. Roughly $99-$289/mo scaled by member count, branded app ~$39/mo, texting per message. Rated ~7.8/10 on G2. Member-count pricing means it punishes growth, and customization is limited.\n\n**3. ABC Glofox** - The one I'd pick for boutique studios (pilates, yoga, barre) that care about brand.
