Free gym management software: MyGymDesk Free

MyGymDesk’s Free plan has no fixed monthly fee: you pay 1.5% of what you collect, capped at $149 a month. Every Pro feature. Add-ons extra. Below is what the other kinds of “free” gym software get you, and when each one is the right call.

What "free gym software" actually gets you

A revenue-share plan: MyGymDesk Free

MyGymDesk’s Free plan has no fixed monthly fee: you pay 1.5% of what you collect, capped at $149 a month. Every Pro feature. Add-ons extra.

A spreadsheet (really)

For a handful of members with no tax or billing complexity, a well-kept sheet is genuinely free and genuinely fine. It stops scaling the moment you’re chasing dues or need an invoice.

A freemium tier with a hard cap

Some tools are free below a member count — WodGuru, for example, is free up to 10 members, then about $1 per member per month, capped near $149 (as of July 2026). Useful for a micro-studio.

A cheap paid tier dressed as “free”

Others lead with a very low monthly headline that turns out to be a paid plan.

A free trial

Nearly every serious platform, MyGymDesk included, lets you use the full product free for a fixed window before you pay, so you can try everything, then decide.

Is MyGymDesk free? Yes

MyGymDesk’s Free plan has no fixed monthly fee: you pay 1.5% of what you collect, capped at $149 a month. Every Pro feature. Add-ons extra.

If you’d rather pay a flat price, plans start at $49/month for Growth, with unlimited members and WhatsApp automation included, and a 14-day free trial. See Free and every plan on our pricing page.

When free is genuinely the right call

If you’re a personal trainer or a studio with a handful of members, no tax invoices to issue and no need to automate reminders or collect online, a spreadsheet or a freemium tool will do — and you shouldn’t pay for software you won’t use. The honest tipping point is when you start losing time to chasing dues, writing invoices, or marking attendance by hand: that’s when gym software pays for itself, and it’s the right moment to start.

Frequently asked questions

Is there truly free gym management software?

Yes. MyGymDesk’s Free plan has no fixed monthly fee: you pay 1.5% of what you collect, capped at $149 a month. Every Pro feature. Add-ons extra. Elsewhere you’ll mostly find freemium tiers capped by member count, very cheap paid tiers marketed as “free”, and free trials.

Is MyGymDesk free?

When is free gym software actually the right call?

When you’re very small — a personal trainer or a studio with a handful of members, no tax invoices to issue, and no need to automate reminders or collect online. A spreadsheet or a freemium tier will genuinely do. The moment you’re losing time to collections, invoices or attendance, paid software pays for itself.

What’s the catch with “free” gym software?

Usually one of three: a member cap that forces an upgrade fast, per-member pricing that stops being cheap as you grow, or missing essentials such as online payments, invoicing or WhatsApp. Read what the free tier excludes before you rely on it.
