MyGymDesk vs FitnessForce: Which Gym Software Is Better for Indian Gyms? (2026)
Quick verdict
FitnessForce is an established, enterprise-leaning club platform for multi-location and franchise operators, acquired by US-based Daxko in June 2026. MyGymDesk targets independent Indian gyms and studios with published flat pricing, self-serve onboarding, and an India-first payment/tax stack.
Choose MyGymDesk if:
You run a gym in India, from one location to a multi-branch chain or franchise, and want published flat pricing, a free trial, UPI collection with GST invoicing, WhatsApp automation and a franchise HQ console, without an enterprise sales cycle.
Choose FitnessForce if:
You operate a large multi-country franchise network that needs enterprise features (royalty visibility, cross-border operations) and prefer demo-led enterprise onboarding under the Daxko portfolio.

Why gyms switch to MyGymDesk
- Transparent cost: MyGymDesk publishes flat plans (₹999–₹2,999/month + GST, unlimited members); FitnessForce has no public pricing and directory figures disagree by 6x, so you can’t budget without a sales call.
- Self-serve start: begin a free trial today versus a demo-led enterprise sales cycle.
- India-first tax stack: GST-compliant invoicing is core MyGymDesk surface; FitnessForce markets generic tax compliance and its documented e-invoicing work centres on Saudi ZATCA — GST-specific invoicing is unverified in its public materials.
- Every size in one platform: MyGymDesk runs single gyms, multi-branch chains and franchises, with per-branch GSTIN, branch performance reports and a franchise HQ console, all priced in INR.
- Ownership: FitnessForce joined US-based Daxko’s portfolio in June 2026; MyGymDesk remains an independent India-based company (a neutral fact that matters to some buyers).
