Best Gym Management Software in New Zealand (2026)

There are more gym software options than ever — and most of them are built for gyms much larger than yours. This guide cuts through the noise. We cover every legitimate option available to NZ gym owners, what they actually cost in NZD, and which ones make sense for different gym types.

What 'gym management software' actually covers

The term covers a wide range of products. At the simple end: just payments and member tracking. At the complex end: class booking, PT scheduling, staff payroll, inventory, marketing automation, and access control. Most small gym owners need the simple end and end up paying for the complex end.

GymMaster

NZ's most established gym software. Used by a wide range of commercial gyms and fitness studios. GymMaster handles memberships, class scheduling, PT management, access control (as an add-on), and detailed reporting. Pricing starts around $79 NZD/month and climbs to $300+ with access control and advanced features.

• Best for: gyms with class timetables, PT rosters, or multiple staff
• Hardware: not included — you source and install your own access system
• Support: NZ-based, good reputation
• Contract: month-to-month available

Mindbody

The global leader in fitness studio software, based in the US. Mindbody is powerful and feature-rich but priced in USD — starting around $129 USD/month (~$215 NZD) for their entry tier, up to $599 USD/month. It's designed for studios with rich class schedules, online booking, and marketing automation. No access control.

• Best for: yoga studios, Pilates, and class-heavy boutique fitness
• Hardware: not included
• Support: US-based
• Contract: annual contract often required

Glofox

Irish-based gym and studio software, popular globally. Strong class management and member app. Priced in USD, no NZD option. Starts around $110 USD/month, with a per-member fee model on some plans.

• Best for: class-based studios wanting a polished member app
• Hardware: not included
• Support: EMEA-focused
• Contract: annual contract typical

Wodify

Built specifically for CrossFit boxes and functional fitness gyms. Handles WODs, performance tracking, class booking, and payments. US-based and USD-priced, starting around $99 USD/month. Popular with CrossFit affiliates but overkill for non-CF gyms.

• Best for: CrossFit affiliates and functional fitness gyms
• Hardware: not included
• Support: US-based
• Contract: annual

PushPress

A newer US-based platform targeting CrossFit and strength gyms. Has a free tier (with payment processing fees) which makes it attractive to very small operations. Payments, class booking, and basic member management. USD-priced.

• Best for: very small CrossFit gyms that want to start free
• Hardware: not included
• Support: US-based
• Contract: month-to-month

Latch

Built specifically for small NZ gyms that want automated payments and door access without a class booking system they'll never use. $200 NZD/month per door, hardware included. Stripe-powered payments go directly to your bank account. Members unlock via mobile browser — no app download.

• Best for: small owner-operator gyms, CrossFit boxes, yoga studios without complex class schedules
• Hardware: included — ships pre-configured
• Support: NZ-based founders
• Contract: month-to-month, cancel any time

Which should you choose?

For most small NZ gym owners, the choice comes down to one question: do you need class booking? If yes — GymMaster (NZ-based, strong support) or Mindbody (if you're class-heavy and budget is less of a concern). If no — Latch gives you everything you actually need at a lower total cost, with hardware included.
