Why Zen Planner
See why top brands are making the switch
Run your gym from one place
Handle registration, billing, and communication in one place, without juggling spreadsheets or separate tools. Members get self-service check-ins and a branded app built around your business, not a marketplace of competitors.
See what's working, in real time
See retention, revenue, and attendance trends the moment they happen, not buried in a monthly export. Reporting is built for membership-based businesses, so the numbers that matter to a gym or school are already front and center.
Let AI handle the busywork
Capture leads, follow up automatically, and let AI handle routine questions around the clock, so no prospect goes cold waiting on a callback. Engage turns the busywork of member communication into something that runs itself.

Frequently asked questions
ClubWorx is a gym and fitness studio management software with member management, scheduling, billing, and engagement tools. It serves a variety of fitness businesses, including gyms, martial arts studios, and yoga studios.
ClubWorx is primarily used by small gyms, martial arts studios, and yoga studios that need straightforward scheduling and billing tools. Businesses needing advanced reporting, marketing automation, or deep martial arts features typically find ClubWorx‘s capabilities limited as they grow.
Zen Planner offers a more complete business management platform with built-in digital marketing tools, belt and rank tracking, and deeper reporting than ClubWorx. Zen Planner is also backed by Daxko’s fitness-focused infrastructure and US-based support, while ClubWorx is a smaller platform with less depth in reporting and automation.
Most businesses complete the transition from ClubWorx to Zen Planner within a few weeks. Zen Planner‘s onboarding team manages data migration and setup to keep member billing uninterrupted.
Zen Planner provides a dedicated onboarding team for the full ClubWorx transition, covering data migration, staff training, and US-based phone and chat support through go-live. See how we make switching software easy.
ClubWorx offers basic tools that work for small martial arts studios and gyms but lacks the depth that growing schools need. Belt tracking, rank management, testing event tools, and digital marketing automation are either absent or underdeveloped in ClubWorx. Zen Planner was founded by a martial arts school owner and includes these features as core functionality.
ClubWorx is most commonly limited by thin reporting capabilities, basic marketing automation, and a lack of specialized features for martial arts and CrossFit operations. Growing gyms and studios that need more sophisticated business tools typically transition to Zen Planner as membership expands.
Yes. Zen Planner provides US-based support by phone and chat, not just during onboarding, but throughout your time as a customer. Whether you need help with a billing question, a feature setup, or a technical issue, Zen Planner’s support team is available to help you keep your business running without disruption.
Yes. As your school adds members, testing events, and programs, Zen Planner’s reporting and automation keep pace. ClubWorx’s more basic toolset often requires manual workarounds as schools expand, particularly around reporting and custom integrations.
