Here's the order I'd actually recommend, with who each one is for.\n\n---\n\n### 1. PushPress - best default for most independent gyms\nBuilt by gym owners, aimed at CrossFit/functional-fitness and strength gyms. The big draw is a genuinely usable **free tier**, then Core Pro at ~$159/mo, with add-ons (CRM/marketing \"Grow\" ~$329/mo, branded app ~$97/mo). It's one of the few vendors that publishes pricing openly, which tells you something about how the rest of the market sells. Downside: add-ons stack up fast, and it's less suited to boutique class-pack businesses.

Gymdesk - best value, best for small gyms and martial arts\nStarts around **$75/mo**, no setup fee, 30-day full-feature free trial, self-service migration. Consistently the highest-rated of the bunch on review sites (~4.8/5). Strong on belt/rank tracking, so it's the usual pick for martial arts and BJJ as ", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
