Honest comparison
ManageYourGym vs GymForce
ManageYourGym is built for gyms where personal training is real revenue: three trainer compensation models, a native trainer app the trainer closes sessions from, and a session ledger that ends arguments about how many sessions are left. Around that sit live occupancy, class booking with waitlists, eSSL and ZKTeco fingerprint and face check-in, and owner analytics by revenue stream, retention and peak hours. GymForce prices lower and does not cap members; our plans are sized by member count instead, so reminders are never a credit meter you run out of mid-month.

The problem you are actually trying to solve
You are comparing two Indian products that both promise the same list — members, attendance, WhatsApp reminders, GST bills — and the feature grids on both websites look identical. The difference only shows up three months in, when you are trying to work out what to pay a trainer who is on a revenue share, or why the member count in the report does not match the member count at the door.
Meanwhile the pricing is genuinely hard to compare, because the two products do not charge for the same thing. One meters members. The other meters messages.

Take the headline number first: GymForce is cheaper, and it is not close. Their Growth plan is ₹9,999 a year with unlimited active members, against ₹14,389 a year for our Starter, which stops at 150. Their Pro plan adds multi-branch and payroll for ₹14,999 — roughly what our single-branch Starter costs — where multi-branch on our side means Professional at ₹23,990. What the two prices do not tell you is that the products meter different things. They meter messaging credits, 1,000 on Growth and 5,000 on Pro, so a gym that runs heavy WhatsApp reminders will meet a ceiling their sticker price does not show. We meter members, so the ceiling arrives when you sign your 151st. Neither meter is dishonest; they just bite different gyms. Both bill annually and both run a 14-day trial with no card.
How a month runs on ManageYourGym
- 01
Members and plans in one place
Every member carries their plan, their dues, their attendance history and any PT package on one screen — so the front desk answers questions without opening a spreadsheet.
- 02
The floor checks itself in
Members scan a QR at the door from their own phone. No queue at the desk, no register, and live occupancy tells you how full the floor is before you walk onto it.
- 03
Money lands in your own account
Online payments go through your own Razorpay or Stripe account and settle directly to you. We take no cut of your members’ money, and GST invoices come out with your own numbering.
- 04
The month closes itself
Renewals, dues and trainer payouts compute from the same records the floor already produced. Trainer earnings follow whichever compensation model that trainer is on.
What GymForce offers that we don’t
Every row above is on the record, and so are these. We list them plainly so you can weigh them against everything ManageYourGym includes.
Unlimited members for a flat fee
GymForce’s entry plan is uncapped at ₹9,999 a year. Ours covers 150 members and then steps up, so for a large gym measured on price per member alone, GymForce comes out lower.
UPI auto-debit mandates
They set up recurring UPI mandates so the money pulls itself. We take UPI payments through your own gateway, but we do not run mandates. On a large base of monthly members that difference is real collection effort.
The extra modules: inventory and loyalty
Inventory and loyalty both ship with GymForce and neither is ours. Workout planning used to be on that list and no longer is: programmes with set-by-set logging are in every ManageYourGym plan.
Questions people ask
Is GymForce cheaper than ManageYourGym?
Yes. Their Growth plan is ₹9,999 a year with unlimited active members; our Starter is ₹14,389 a year and covers 150. Their Pro plan, which adds multi-branch and payroll, is ₹14,999 against ₹23,990 for our Professional. On price per member they win, and we would rather say so than bury it.
Why do you cap members when GymForce does not?
Because our tiers are priced on the size of the gym rather than on messaging credits. It is a genuine trade-off and it goes against us on the sticker price. What you get for it is that reminder volume is not a separate meter you can run out of mid-month.
Do you integrate biometric devices?
Yes. ManageYourGym connects eSSL and ZKTeco fingerprint and face devices, and our team sets yours up with you. Members scan in at the door and the visit lands in attendance automatically. QR check-in from the member’s own phone works too, with no hardware at all.
Do you support UPI auto-debit?
Not as a mandate. You can take UPI payments through your own gateway account, and reminders go out automatically over WhatsApp, but the member confirms each payment. GymForce has native auto-debit mandates.
What does ManageYourGym do better?
Personal training, mainly. Three trainer compensation models rather than one commission field, a session ledger so a package balance is never an argument, and a native trainer app the trainer closes sessions from on the floor. Beyond PT: live occupancy, class booking with waitlists, and deeper owner analytics — revenue by stream, retention and peak hours.
Can I move my data across from GymForce?
Yes. Members, plans, payment history and outstanding dues can be imported, and we do the migration with you rather than emailing you a CSV template. Ask about it before you commit — it is the part most people underestimate.
