Gyms — booking system articles
Articles for gyms: how an online booking system increases revenue and reduces phone calls.
In a gym, pricing works on different logic from other service trades. Elsewhere you pay for bookable people; in a gym you pay for members. Member-based Mana is free up to 100 active members and €89–289 per month above that; resource-based Hallinnoija is €7.90 per month per resource. The two cannot be compared without your own numbers.
The reason is simple: a hundred new members require no new staff, but they do require a hundred billing relationships and a hundred access credentials.
Finland also has a requirement international systems do not always meet: employer sports benefits such as ePassi, Smartum, Edenred and Tyky.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a booking system cost a gym?
It depends on the pricing logic. The member-based model is free up to 100 members and €89–289 per month above that. The resource-based model is €7.90 per month per resource. Work out the price per member at your own headcount.
Does the system need to support sports benefits?
In practice yes, if you sell to consumers in Finland. ePassi, Smartum, Edenred and Tyky are common payment methods, and without an integration every such payment is entered by hand.
What is the difference between class booking and access control?
Class booking manages group exercise places; access control manages the door. In an unstaffed 24/7 gym, access control is the core system; in a boutique studio, class booking is. They are often products from different vendors.
