Frequently asked questions
ClubWise is a business management solution designed for fitness clubs and gyms. It offers membership management, billing, access control, and marketing tools. It’s built broadly for the fitness and leisure industry rather than specifically for membership-driven martial arts and combat sports gyms.
Clubwise is used primarily by UK-based gyms, health clubs, and multi-service fitness facilities — including boxing, MMA, and boutique studios alongside more traditional gyms.
Clubwise can work well for health clubs and multi-service facilities that want one platform covering access control, billing, and class scheduling. For functional fitness gyms, boutique fitness studio, and martial arts schools that need belt and rank tracking — Zen Planner is built more specifically around those workflows from the ground up.
Both platforms cover core gym management basics like billing, scheduling, and member communication. Zen Planner is built specifically for membership-based fitness and martial arts businesses, with belt and skill tracking, workout tracking, and marketing tools designed around retention — where Clubwise is built more broadly for health clubs and multi-service facilities.
Clubwise doesn’t publish pricing publicly — cost depends on a custom quote based on your facility and services. Zen Planner’s pricing is transparent and available upfront, with plans starting at $99/month based on active members, so you know your costs before you ever talk to our team.
Most businesses complete the switch within a few weeks. Zen Planner’s onboarding team handles data migration, staff training, and setup so you’re not navigating it alone.
Every new account gets a dedicated onboarding team that handles data migration, system setup, and staff training from day one. Most businesses are fully live within 2–4 weeks, with hands-on guidance the whole way instead of a self-service setup process.
Yes. Support doesn’t end after onboarding — Zen Planner provides ongoing, US-based support by phone and chat, and owners consistently cite support as a top reason they chose Zen Planner over other platforms.
Yes. Beyond day-to-day management, Zen Planner includes marketing tools, retention reporting, and digital marketing services built specifically for fitness businesses — so as your gym grows, the platform grows with you instead of requiring a switch to something else later.
