Gymdesk pricing in 2026, what you will really pay

Gymdesk runs $75 to $200 a month by member count, with two $100 add-ons that can double the bill. Every number checked on their pricing page, August 2026.

The short version: Gymdesk costs $75 to $200 a month depending on active members ($75 to 50, $100 to 100, $150 to 200, $200 to 400), with everything included at every tier and no contracts. The two $100 add-ons, branded app and door access, are what move the bill; configured with both, a large gym pays $400. Checked on gymdesk.com, August 2026.

Gymdesk earns a pricing page explainer for a simple reason: it is the most-used platform among martial arts gyms, appearing on 27% of the 1,146 gym websites with detectable software in our August 2026 crawl of 5,191 sites from our directory. A lot of gym owners are either paying for it or pricing it up. Here is the full picture, every number from Gymdesk's own pricing page.

Gymdesk pricing tiers, by member count

Column chart of Gymdesk tiers: $75 up to 50 members, $100 to 100, $150 to 200, $200 to 400, and $400 for a large gym configured with the app and door access add-ons
The published tiers, and what both add-ons do to the top one

The model is one axis: active members. $75 covers up to 50, $100 to 100, $150 to 200, and $200 up to 400, with above-400 gyms quoted individually. Nothing else changes between tiers; every plan carries every feature, a gym website builder, and unlimited staff accounts. Billing is month to month with no setup fee, and a second location adds $50 a month.

That one-axis simplicity is genuinely rare. Most rivals price by tier and module, so the advertised number and the paid number drift apart. With Gymdesk the drift comes from exactly two places: the branded member app at $100 a month, and door access control at another $100. A 300-member gym running both pays $400 a month, which is honest money for what is included, but double the number on the pricing page's headline.

The three costs to model before joining

The tier you are growing into. Crossing 50, 100 or 200 active members re-prices the account. A gym at 95 members should budget $150, not $100, because the jump arrives with success, not with warning. The flip side is fair: leads and cancelled members do not count, only active ones.

The add-on decision. The $100 app matters more than it looks. Gymdesk's included member portal is functional, but a gym that wants members opening an app daily, for bookings, streaks or community, either pays the $100 or accepts the portal. Door access is simpler: gyms with 24-hour or unstaffed hours need it, others do not.

Payment processing. Gymdesk lets you choose between several payment processors rather than forcing its own, so your processing rate is whatever you negotiate with Stripe, Square or the others. That choice can be worth more than the subscription difference against rivals that mark up processing; on £5,000 a month of payments, half a percent is £30 back.

How Gymdesk pricing compares, like for like

At the entry level, Kicksite is cheaper at $49 (up to 25 students) and both Mat Track and PushPress publish free tiers, as of August 2026. But entry prices mislead; the fair comparison is configured. A 150-member gym wanting software plus a website pays Gymdesk $150 flat, while the same gym on Zen Planner pays $99 core plus $99 for the website module, $198, before adding its $39 app. Gymdesk's bundling wins that shape of comparison; it loses to the free tiers below 200 members on raw cost, and to the retention-focused platforms on what the software does with attendance once it has it.

For the wider field at every price point, our muay thai and MMA comparisons carry the full seven-platform charts; Gymdesk holds its own in both.

Where the money verdict lands

Gymdesk is the transparent mid-market option: real prices on a public page, everything bundled, month to month, walk away any time. You pay for that clarity with member-count step-ups and two chunky add-ons, and the retention side of the product is thinner than its booking side. If your gym is under 200 contacts and cost is the constraint, the free tiers exist, ours among them (pricing here, and yes, Mat Track is our product, so weigh that sentence accordingly). If you want one predictable bill and a website without a web designer, Gymdesk's pricing is exactly as advertised, which is more than most of this market can say.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Gymdesk cost per month?

Four published tiers as of August 2026, priced by active members. $75 up to 50 members, $100 for 51 to 100, $150 for 101 to 200, and $200 for 201 to 400, with a custom quote above 400. All features are included at every tier. An additional location adds $50 a month, and the branded member app and door access add $100 a month each.

Does Gymdesk have a free plan or trial?

There is no free tier; the entry point is $75 a month. Gymdesk offers a free trial period so you can test before paying, and because billing is month to month with no contracts or setup fees, leaving costs nothing beyond the current month. If a free plan matters, the free tiers from Mat Track (up to 200 contacts) and PushPress are the published alternatives as of August 2026.

What add-ons does Gymdesk charge for?

Two main ones as of August 2026, each $100 a month, the branded member app and door access control. An extra location is $50 a month. Everything else, including the gym website, unlimited staff accounts, booking, billing and reporting, is included in every tier, which is unusual; most rivals sell the website or app as modules.

Is Gymdesk cheaper than Zen Planner or Kicksite?

At entry, Kicksite is cheapest at $49 for up to 25 students, Gymdesk starts at $75 for up to 50 members, and Zen Planner at $99. The picture changes configured; Gymdesk includes its website while Zen Planner charges $99 a month for one, so a like-for-like setup often lands cheaper on Gymdesk. All figures from vendor pricing pages, August 2026.

Why do gyms leave Gymdesk?

The common reasons are outgrowing the member-count tiers, wanting deeper retention tooling than its reporting offers, or wanting a member app that members open daily rather than a functional portal. None are pricing complaints; its pricing is among the most transparent in the industry. Gyms that leave usually move for retention features or app quality rather than cost.
