The self-hosted GymMaster alternative
Gymora — Self-hosted gym membership manager with front-desk check-in guards and class-pack credit tracking. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying GymMaster every month.
Stop renting GymMaster
1 month of GymMaster equals this one-time price.
Assumption: Foundation caps at 100 current members; yearly billing gives 10% off.
How GymMaster pricing grows with you
GymMaster meters its per-site plans by 'current members' - a count that includes paid, billing, and future-start members - so growing your membership is what pushes you into a pricier tier.
“Current members are those with paid in full or regular billing membership, including $0 memberships, members signed up for a future start date and any members who are exempt from internal reporting.” — their own page, read 2026-08-11
What GymMaster does that we don't
GymMaster does not lock customers into a fixed-term contract.
“No! GymMaster will never lock you into a contract.” — their own page
Who should stay with GymMaster
If you need a public member booking site with built-in card processing and automated email or SMS, stay where you are - Gymora does not do that. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting GymMaster
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in GymMaster's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Gymora vs GymMaster comparison.
