The Mindbody alternative built for a gym with one location, not a hundred.
Mindbody is priced and built for chains and for its marketplace. If you run one gym or studio, you pay for a suite you barely open and a listing that shows your competitors. Our alternative is your own member app, published under your name, with class booking, memberships and trainer scheduling at one flat monthly price.
- Your name in the App Store and Google Play
- Classes, memberships and trainer calendars included
- One flat monthly price, no development fee, quote within one working day

What a single gym actually needs, under its own name
Mindbody and your own app, side by side
Mindbody is a management suite with a marketplace. Ours is a member app under your brand with the operations a single gym runs on.
| Mindbody | Your own app | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Multi-location businesses and the Mindbody marketplace | One gym or studio |
| Member app | The Mindbody marketplace app; a branded app as a paid add-on | Your own app, included |
| Pricing | Tiered, plus add-ons | One flat monthly price |
| Competitors visible to your members | Yes, it is a marketplace | No |
| Classes, memberships, trainer scheduling | Yes | Yes |
| Retail, payroll, marketing suite | Yes | No |
| Contract | Often a fixed term | Cancel any month |
Mindbody's plans as described on its site in September 2026; our Mindbody pricing guide has the current numbers.
When Mindbody is the better choice
Several locations, a retail counter, payroll and a marketing team that lives in the suite: that is what Mindbody is for, and a franchise or a busy multi-site studio should stay on it. The same goes for a new studio that gets real new members from the Mindbody marketplace and is happy to pay for them.
When a single gym should leave
A gym with one room and a few hundred members pays Mindbody for a great deal it never opens, then pays again for the branded app. Its members book inside a marketplace app where a competitor is one scroll away, and the monthly bill is a fixed cost that does not care whether January was busy. Owners who leave say the same things: the price, the marketplace, and the app on the member's phone not being theirs.
An app under your name fixes all three: members install your app, see only your gym, and the price is one flat figure agreed before we start.
What your own gym app includes
The member app carries the class timetable with booking and capacity, the member's plan and status, personal training booking with the trainer's calendar, and push messages from you. The staff app runs schedules, capacity, memberships with who has paid and who owes, and analytics. Both are published in the App Store and Google Play under your name, and moving your members and memberships over is part of the setup, not an extra.
How the switch works
A twenty-minute call covers your classes, trainers, membership types and logo, and you get a clear monthly price within one working day. The demo is on your phone in seven days and the apps are live in both stores in three to four weeks, with your members migrated. Run Mindbody alongside for a month if you want the safety net, then cancel it once bookings arrive through your app.

Gym and studio owners ask
One flat monthly price, scoped to your gym's size and quoted within one working day of the first call. There is no development fee, no per-member fee and no fixed term; you can cancel any month.
Yes. Moving members, their contact details and their current memberships into your new app is part of the setup, so the front desk does not start from an empty list.
Yes. Every class has a capacity, members book and cancel from the app, and the staff app shows who is coming. A room or a trainer cannot be double-booked for the same hour.
The staff app tracks who is on which plan, who has paid and who owes. Online card payments through Stripe or a local processor can be added; the processor's fee is separate and nothing is added on our side.
No. One monthly price, cancel any month, no notice period and no exit fee. If you leave, you receive your member list.
A demo on your phone in 7 days. Publishing the member app and the staff app to the App Store and Google Play takes 3–4 weeks from the first call.
