PushPress** - My default recommendation for an independent gym or box. Best-rated of the mainstream options (4.7 across ~186 reviews), free starter tier, and the thing people consistently praise is support - you get a human who knows gyms. Weak spots: reporting depth and a sometimes-sluggish member app. ([Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/reviews/172781/PushPress))\n\n**2. Gymdesk** - Highest review score I found (4.8, ~148 reviews) and the one that doesn't nickel-and-dime you. Flat transparent pricing, genuinely simple to run day-to-day. Pick this if you're a one- or two-location gym who wants billing, check-ins and classes to just work. ([G2 comparison](https://www.g2.com/compare/pushpress-vs-wodify))\n\n**3. Zen Planner** - Strongest fit for strength gyms, martial arts and CrossFit with belt/skill tracking. $99/mo (Studio) to $249/mo (Engage), plus $39/mo for a branded app. Honest, published pricing - but the à-la-carte model adds up fast once you want everything. ([Costbench](https://www.costbench.com/compare/glofox-vs-zen-planner/))\n\n**4. Mindbody** - Worth it for one reason: the consumer marketplace actually sends you members.
