PushPress** - my default recommendation for most independent gyms, especially CrossFit/functional fitness and strength gyms. It was built by a gym owner who was frustrated with clunky incumbents, and it shows: clean member management, class reservations, workout history, and genuinely good support. It also has a real free starting tier, so you can run a small gym on it without committing. Weak spots: reporting is shallower than competitors and the member app can feel sluggish. ([Capterra reviews](https://www.capterra.com/p/172781/PushPress/reviews/), [review writeup](https://gymdesk.com/blog/is-pushpress-good-for-gyms))\n\n**2. ABC Glofox** - the one I'd name for boutique studios and multi-location brands: cycling, HIIT, boxing, yoga, Pilates, barre. Modern interface, fast setup, and it pushes members into *your* branded app rather than a third-party marketplace. Catch: no public pricing - everything is a quote. Third-party estimates put it around $100/mo for ≤100 members up to ~$200/mo at ≤400, but treat those as indicative only.
