Glofox alternative
The Glofox alternative built for small studios
Glofox is a strong platform — for chains. If you're a solo trainer or a single-location studio under 300 members, you're paying enterprise prices for features you'll never touch. GymManage Pro is a simpler, cheaper CRM that handles the parts that actually move revenue: clients, packages, renewals, and follow-ups.
Where Glofox wins, and where it doesn't
Glofox is genuinely good at what it's built for: multi-location chains with an in-house ops team, a branded member app, and a budget for enterprise onboarding. But most small studios don't need any of that. They need to stop losing renewals and stop tracking session packages in a spreadsheet — and they need software they can turn on today without a demo call.

- You want to see pricing on the site and sign up the same day — no demo call.
- Your bottleneck is renewals, package tracking, and trial follow-ups, not enterprise reporting.
- You'd rather pay $29–$79/month month-to-month than commit to a 12-month contract.
Stick with Glofox if…
- You have 3+ locations or plan to franchise.
- A branded member app in the App Store is a hard requirement.
- Class bookings + door access + retail POS all need to live in one platform.
FAQ
Why look for a Glofox alternative?
Glofox (now part of ABC Fitness) is powerful, but it's priced and scoped for mid-market chains. Small studios usually pay for features they never use, sit through a sales call to see pricing, and get locked into annual contracts. GymManage Pro is the opposite: transparent pricing, self-serve signup, month-to-month, and a feature set matched to a studio under 300 members.
Glofox vs GymManage Pro — which one is right for me?
Pick Glofox if you run multiple locations, need a branded member app, and have the budget and staff for an enterprise onboarding. Pick GymManage Pro if you're a solo trainer or single-location studio (Pilates, yoga, dance, martial arts, boxing, HIIT) and your real bottleneck is renewals, packages, and follow-ups — not enterprise tooling.
How much cheaper is GymManage Pro?
GymManage Pro starts at $29/month for Starter and $79/month for Studio, with no annual contract. Glofox pricing isn't published, but small studios typically report quotes starting around $110–$150/month, often with a 12-month commitment.
Can I import my clients from Glofox?
Yes. Export your client list from Glofox to CSV and import it into GymManage Pro in a few clicks — clients, packages, and notes come across.
Does GymManage Pro handle class bookings and check-ins?
No — we're CRM-first, not a bookings-and-check-ins platform. If class bookings are your core need, keep a lightweight booker and use GymManage Pro alongside it for the client relationship, packages, and renewals.
What about a branded mobile app for members?
GymManage Pro doesn't ship a branded app. If a white-label member app is a hard requirement, Glofox is a better fit. Most small studios find WhatsApp + email + a mobile-friendly web login is enough.
