# Glofox review (2026): is it worth it? > Gym and studio management with a branded member app Checked Oct 24, 2026 ยท graded Oct 24, 2026 by ToolGPA. Glofox, sold as ABC Glofox, is management software for class-based fitness studios and gyms, from yoga and Pilates to boxing and personal training. It handles class and appointment booking, memberships and credit packs, recurring billing and point of sale, check-in and door access, and email, text and push marketing. Members book through an app published under the studio's own name. - **Category:** Salon, Spa & Studio Booking - **Made by:** ABC Fitness Solutions, LLC - **Website:** https://www.glofox.com - **Runs on:** Web, iOS, Android - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a price before a sales call, as Glofox only quotes after a form and a demo. - **Facts last checked:** Oct 24, 2026 ## Pricing Glofox's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Class and appointment booking:** Flexible calendars for classes and appointments, with waitlists and automated reminders; members book in the app or a web portal. - **Branded member app:** An app with the studio's name, logo and colors, listed under the studio as publisher in the App Store and Google Play, with Apple Pay and Google Pay checkout. - **Memberships and billing:** Recurring memberships, credit packs, point of sale and payment links, with automatic retries and card updating for failed payments. - **CRM and automated messaging:** Lead capture, segmentation and nurture journeys that send email, text and push messages from first visit to renewal. - **AI agents:** A front desk agent answers calls, texts and website chats in more than 30 languages, and a sales agent follows up with leads until they book. - **Check-in and multi-location:** Kiosk and barcode check-in with door access hardware, plus roaming memberships, franchise royalty billing and roll-up reporting across locations. ## Good for - Boutique fitness studios that want their own branded app - Gyms selling recurring memberships and credit packs - Franchises and multi-location gym brands ## Worth knowing - Glofox publishes no prices: its pricing page is a form that asks for business type and locations before giving a quote. - There is no self-serve sign-up or free trial; new customers start with a demo. - Glofox says it is built for class-led fitness studios and gyms; its listed business types do not include salons or spas. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 24, 2026. Glofox, sold as ABC Glofox, runs class and appointment booking, memberships and billing, check-in, door access and messaging for fitness studios, with a member app under the studio's own name. What holds it back: no price is published and there's no trial, only a demo and a quote, and it's built for class-led gyms, not salons or spas. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published: the pricing page is a form that asks for your business type and locations, and the price is only given on a sales call. - **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free: no free plan, no trial and no self-serve sign-up. New customers start with a demo. - **Features: B.** Class and appointment booking with waitlists, a branded member app, memberships, credit packs, billing with failed-payment retries, lead journeys by email, text and push, AI front desk and sales agents, check-in and multi-location tools. That covers the whole job for gyms. - **Ease of use: C.** No app store rating on record. You start with a demo, then set up classes, memberships, payments and your branded app before members can book. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, with Stripe, GoCardless, Kisi, Gantner, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Zapier and ABC Trainerize. No desktop app and no API on record. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Glofox's own pages on 24 October 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among salon, spa and studio booking apps - Glofox's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 1 of the 15 other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade, and level with 1. - It stands best on features (B, above 3 of 15) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0). The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/service-booking ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Glofox you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 13 of the 15 other salon, spa and studio booking apps grade higher. - You could make: Class booking and appointment booking: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. - You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. - You could not: An AI model answering your customers from your own help articles. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Stripe, GoCardless and Kisi among them, and has an API. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
