Why Zen Planner
See why top brands are making the switch
Run your gym from one streamlined platform
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 and automation 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
Glofox is a gym and fitness studio management platform acquired by ABC Fitness Solutions and now operating as ABC Glofox. It provides scheduling, membership management, and payment processing for gyms and boutique fitness studios.
Glofox historically targeted boutique fitness studios and gym franchises. Following its acquisition by ABC Fitness Solutions, its direction and pricing have shifted, making it less predictable for independent gym owners who need stable, purpose-built software.
The biggest difference is specialization and stability. Zen Planner has been purpose-built for gyms, martial arts schools, and fitness studios since 2006. Glofox, now part of ABC Fitness Solutions, is navigating a platform transition that has introduced uncertainty around pricing, support, and feature development for independent gym operators.
Most gyms complete the transition from Glofox to Zen Planner within a few weeks. Zen Planner handles data migration and setup so you don’t lose member history or disrupt billing during the switch.
Zen Planner‘s US-based onboarding team manages the full transition from Glofox — data migration, staff training, and go-live support by phone and chat.
Glofox was originally built for boutique studios and independent gyms, but the ABC Fitness acquisition has moved the platform toward larger enterprise customers. Independent gym owners especially those running single-location CrossFit affiliates, martial arts schools, or boutique studios often find that Zen Planner offers more purpose-built tools at more predictable pricing.
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. Zen Planner is built to support fitness businesses at every stage of growth, from a single location through multi-site operations. Beyond software, Zen Planner includes built-in digital marketing tools, member retention reporting, lead management, and access to a dedicated customer success team focused on helping your business grow enrollment and keep members longer.
