Honest comparison
ManageYourGym vs PushPress
ManageYourGym puts in the plan what PushPress sells as add-ons: the branded app, lead capture with automatic follow-up, and workout programming with set-by-set logging come with every plan from $79. Above their free tier we are cheaper on subscription alone — $79 against Pro at $159, and $169 against Max at $229 — and card payments run through your own Razorpay or Stripe account at your own rate, where PushPress’s free plan charges 4.99% + $0.30. For a facility that earns from personal training, three trainer compensation models, a session ledger and a native trainer app are built in.

The problem you are actually trying to solve
You started on something free or nearly free, and it worked. Then you wanted the app with your own name on it, and a way to chase leads, and workout tracking for the PT clients — and each of those turned out to be its own line on the invoice.
Now you are trying to compare a low headline price plus three add-ons against a higher headline price with fewer of them, and every vendor page is designed to make that arithmetic hard.

Two different shapes. PushPress leads with a free plan and no member caps, and that free plan is real — a small box can run on it without a subscription. What the headline hides is that the free tier is paid for in card processing: 4.99% + $0.30 against 2.89% on Pro. On ₹5 lakh a month of card volume that spread is worth far more than the subscription. Our payments run through your own Razorpay or Stripe account at whatever rate you negotiated, and we take nothing. Above the free tier the comparison flips: their Pro is $159 against our $79 and their Max is $229 against our $169. Then the add-ons decide it — a branded app is $81–$97/mo with them and included with us, while workout tracking is a $79/mo Train add-on there and included here. Their Grow product ($329/mo) runs email campaigns and lets you build custom pipeline stages, and we do not ship either on purpose — but lead capture, the follow-up desk, trial passes and the automatic reminder sequences are included at every tier of ours. Add up only the modules you will actually switch on; the totals move a long way depending on which three you pick.
How the money side runs with us
- 01
Connect your own gateway
Razorpay or Stripe, under your own account, at your own negotiated rate. Payments settle directly to you and we take no percentage — the processing spread between tiers simply does not exist here.
- 02
Members pay from the app
Dues, renewals, plans and PT packages are all payable from the member app. Reminders go out over WhatsApp, SMS and email before anything falls overdue.
- 03
Trainers get paid from real sessions
Each closed session feeds the trainer’s payout under whichever model they are on — salary, per session, or a share of the package. Payslips come out of those same numbers.
- 04
The invoice is the whole invoice
The branded app, the reminder sequences and the analytics are in the plan. There is no add-on to switch on later at a separate monthly price.
What PushPress 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.
A free plan
PushPress has a free tier with unlimited members, paid for through a 4.99% + $0.30 card rate. We have no free plan; ours starts at $79 a month with your own processing rate.
A whiteboard on the gym TV
PushPress was built for functional fitness, and it shows in the whiteboard on the gym TV. ManageYourGym runs the class WOD too — RX and Scaled versions, score logging, leaderboards and PRs — but we have no TV whiteboard display yet.
Kanban boards and email campaigns
We do capture leads and follow up automatically now — an enquiry form on your page and website, a daily follow-up desk, trial passes and four reminder sequences, included at every tier. What we do not build is a kanban board, custom pipeline stages, custom form fields or email marketing campaigns. Grow has all four, on purpose, and we left them out on purpose too.
Questions people ask
PushPress has a free plan. Do you?
No. We have a 14-day trial with everything unlocked and no card, then $79 a month. Their free tier is real and has no member cap. The trade is card processing — 4.99% + $0.30 on their free plan against your own negotiated rate with us.
Which one is cheaper overall?
It depends entirely on add-ons. Their Pro is $159 against our $79 and Max is $229 against our $169, so on subscription alone we are cheaper above the free tier. Their Grow product ($329/mo) runs email campaigns and lets you build custom pipeline stages, which we do not offer at any price — but lead capture, a follow-up desk, trial passes and reminder sequences are included with us, where Grow is a separate charge; workout tracking is a $79/mo add-on there and included here. If you need a branded app, it is $81–$97 a month there and included here.
Do you take a cut of my payments?
No. You connect your own Razorpay or Stripe account and the money settles directly to you. We never touch it and we do not mark up the processing rate.
Do you do workout programming?
Yes, and it is in the plan rather than an add-on. You build a programme from an exercise library — weeks, days and blocks — assign it to a member on the days they train, and they log every set from the member app, with personal bests picked up automatically. PushPress sells this as Train from $79/mo. For a class, coaches post a workout of the day with RX and Scaled versions and athletes log scores to a leaderboard.
What does ManageYourGym do better?
The trainer side of a facility. Three compensation models rather than none published, a session ledger so a package balance is never in dispute, a native trainer app, and payout reporting per trainer. Plus live occupancy, WhatsApp on every plan, and GST-compliant billing for India.
Is ManageYourGym a good fit for a CrossFit box?
Yes. Coaches post the WOD with RX and Scaled versions, athletes log scores, see leaderboards and track PRs, and classes run with capacity and waitlists. Per-member programmes and PT sit alongside it, with three ways to pay coaches. The one piece PushPress has that we do not yet is a whiteboard display for the gym TV.
