In this comparison, we will compare and contrast three of the top fitness business software platforms – Exercise.com vs. GymSym vs. Gymshark. These are three fitness business software platforms with differing features and options.

GymSym and Gymshark may be in consideration for your fitness business but we will tell you why their software platforms may not be the best option. Both of these software platforms lack key features that are necessary for today’s fitness industry. No need to worry as Exercise.com fitness business software provides you with these missing features and much more!

Scheduling Software: GymSym vs. Gymshark

One of the first actions in training a client is to schedule them or have them book you for a class/session. However, GymSym and Gymshark lack in important calendar functions for scheduling classes, appointments, or sessions. GymShark does not provide you with any calendar functions while GymSym only allows staff to have access to the schedule meaning that clients and customers cannot do their own bookings.

With Exercise.com gym management software, fitness professionals and personal trainers can set up availability on calendars and schedules so that clients and members can book and manage appointments, sessions, or classes from the mobile app or online dashboard.

Customers are able to view your schedule easily, book an appointment or class, and receive automatic reminders via text or email. Clients can sort calendars in multiple ways such as by trainer or location and can integrate their calendars with Google or Apple calendars as well.

Ecommerce Software: GymSym vs. Gymshark

Ecommerce has been a driving force of revenue for many fitness businesses. The opportunity to showcase your business to millions upon millions of users online offers great opportunities. Because of this, any fitness business software should have versatile ecommerce capabilities. Again, GymSym and GymShark fall short on another important feature.

Gymshark only offers users the ability to purchase workout plans and video tutorials from their own offerings. You are unable to sell your own workout plans and memberships. With GymSym, you are able to sell workout plans but unable to offer workout memberships or sell merchandise.

We know how important ecommerce can be for your business which is why Exercise.com has a robust gym ecommerce software that offers plenty of ecommerce and point-of-sale options. With Exercise.com you are able to sell your own personalized content through customized workout plans, workout memberships, products (online and/or in-store), and even workout challenges.

Fitness Assessment Software: GymSym vs. Gymshark

The health of your clients is of utmost importance, especially through exercise. Aside from GymSym’s capability of uploading documents, there are no other features for assessments, measurements, or nutrition with Gymshark or GymSym. Exercise.com fitness assessment software includes all of these features further ensuring your clients have the necessary tools to improve their fitness and overall health.
