Best for gyms that want door access and billing together
GymMaster does class booking, billing, a member app and door access for gyms, priced per site by member count from $89. There's no free plan or trial, only a 60-day money-back guarantee, and each location is billed separately.
Who GymMaster is for
- Fits if you run one gym of up to 1,300 members and want 24/7 door access
- Works for studios that connect to Zapier or Mailchimp
Who GymMaster is not for
- Skip it if you want to try before paying, as there's only a money-back guarantee
- Pricey if you run several sites, as each is billed separately
- Watch out: price steps up with member count, then goes to a quote above 1,300
- Watch out: door access adds $40 a month on each tier
- Watch out: the AI writing assistant needs your own paid OpenAI account

Keep GymMaster, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace GymMaster 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.
It costs $1,068 a year.
What you could make
- Class booking, appointment booking, inventory and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Zapier, Zoom and Mailchimp among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. GymMaster’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
