Glofox alternative
Glofox runs a membership gym. TrainStead runs a training studio.
Glofox is strong software for boutique gyms and studios that live on memberships: class booking, member check-ins, membership billing, and a branded member app. Pricing is quote-based, and for that kind of business it's a capable platform.
A personal training studio is a different animal, and TrainStead is built for it. Your work isn't check-ins and memberships, it's programming, tracking real client progress, and running sessions. TrainStead puts scheduling, client programming, progress tracking, messaging, and studio analytics in one place, priced per trainer with unlimited clients.
What you get with TrainStead
The trainer's toolkit, not the gym's front desk. Build and assign programs, track each client's progress and nutrition and cardio, message them in the app, and see at a studio level who's drifting before they quit. Where Glofox optimizes the member journey and the front desk, TrainStead optimizes the coaching itself: the program, the progress, and the relationship that keeps a client paying.
Who should still use Glofox
Boutique gyms and class studios that run on memberships, class booking, and check-ins. If your business is memberships, use membership software. If your business is training people, use training software.
