Workout Software to Power Your Training
Omnify does not offer workout software – an essential component for running a fitness business. The Exercise.com workout plan creator and exercise manager provide flexible solutions to save you time creating workouts with built-in integrations, tools, and more.
Ecommerce Software to Increase Revenue
Fitness professionals cannot use Omnify’s ecommerce features to sell workout challenges or access an exercise library. Exercise.com, however, has full ecommerce capabilities allowing trainers to sell single workout plans, offer automated workout memberships, run workout challenges, and deliver individual training.

Omnify Pricing
How much does Omnify cost? Pricing starts at $49/mo up to $599/mo or more. Discounts are available for annual plans.
Why do you want to join Omnify?
Omnify reviews vary. Customers often compare Omnify to MindBody or other similar booking software platforms designed for easy setup. However, if you are a fitness business in need of a fully-featured all-in-one fitness business management platform then be aware that if you buy Omnify software you will likely need to purchase other software solutions to complement their platform.
Omnify App
The Omnify App can be used for making reservations on the Omnify software platform. “Omnify Go” is available on the App Store and Google Play. Omnify Go currently has a 1.4 star rating in the App Store.
Omnify Reservation System
If you prefer for your customers to search the name of a 3rd-party software platform’s name in the App Store and Google Play in order to schedule an appointment with your business then Omnify might be a good option for you to consider. If you prefer for your customers to stay within your brand’s ecosystem, then consider the Exercise.com custom-branded software platform.
What is the meaning of Omnify?
Omnify meaning: to make universal. So if you are looking to purchase general purpose, universal business registration software then Omnify might be worth considering. If you are a fitness professional looking for custom-branded, all-in-one fitness business management software then you should consider Exercise.com.
NOTE: Omnify, Inc. is different than Omnify PLM and Omnify Lighting.
Unless otherwise stated, all images and reviews below are of/about the Exercise.com All-In-One Fitness Business Management software platform.
Fitness Business Management Software
With Exercise.com, we created our dedicated Fitness Business Management Software (FBM) that is built into the same platform that is used to build workouts. Our software is capable of features such as schedule management for classes, members, and employees, as well as billing, notifications, and reporting.
Client/Class Scheduling
With Omnify, clients can book and manage classes, as well as add themselves to a waitlist. You are also able to integrate with Google and Apple calendars.
With Exercise.com, FBM allows you to track visits, book classes and sessions, engage your clients with recurring appointment reminders via email and text, and integrate with Google and Apple calendars.
With FBM’s calendar, you can also sort by:
- Trainer
- Location
- Service
- Recurring
- Time
- Availability
Gym/Facility Management
Both Exercise.com and Omnify have gym/facility management capabilities in member and client roles, availability, and permissions.
Business Dashboard Reports
Omnify allows for business dashboard features and reports such as viewing the performance of your services and analyzing your business stats and sales figures. Exercise.com allows for a customizable dashboard with various reporting options. You are able to run custom reports on different areas of your business, such as your revenue, staff, or clients.
Client Automation
Omnify offers automation options namely in notifications, emails, and payments.
Exercise.com’s automation options are not only in communication and payments but in other areas as well. For example, personal trainers can send workouts and performance assessment data to clients automatically. To illustrate, if a fitness enthusiast wants to work out two times a week from their office gym, the trainer can set up those workouts to be sent automatically at the appropriate time and date.
Exercise.com’s capabilities in automation includes:
- Workout Delivery
- Resource Delivery
- Assessment Delivery
- Reminders/Alerts via app, text, and email
Dedicated Zapier Support
Both Omnify and Exercise.com are able to fully integrate with over 2,000 applications using Zapier.
Dedicated Account Manager
With Exercise.com you will have a dedicated account manager to assist you with any help or change needed. Omnify only allows for a dedicated account manager if you choose their more expensive “Pro” plan.
Customized Software
This is the part of our comparison in which Exercise.com shines especially bright. The entirety of our software can be customized to create exactly what your business needs in order to run most efficiently. You are able to show off your brand through a custom app and website while also having integrational capabilities with other marketing tools.
Custom-Branded
Omnify allows for website and app customization on pre-existing websites with all plans. There are buttons, widgets, and WordPress integration for fitness business websites but you do not have the ability to fully customize and brand your content. With Exercise.com you can fully customize and brand your websites and apps. The customization is not just colors and logos. You are able to customize verbiage, integrations, custom dev work for your health performance assessment, and more.
iOs & Android Apps
The Omnify GO mobile app is available for Apple and Android devices. The app, however, is not fully customizable and does not showcase your brand. It is also important to note that the Omnify GO mobile app and the web check-in app are not available for clients or class attendees to use to book classes or appointments. Exercise.com, on the other hand, offers you your own fully custom-branded fitness trainer app available for Android and Apple devices. Your brand will be featured in the Apple or Google Store and your app allows for clients or class attendees to book classes or appointments.
Websites
Omnify’s website customization features are similar to their app customizations and cannot be fully customized.
With Exercise.com, just like our apps, our custom-built, SEO-optimized fitness websites are built with your wants and needs in mind. They are not cookie-cutter designs that simply plug in your brand’s colors and logo; your website is entirely yours. Our websites are responsive and built to convert visitors to leads.
Security Features
Exercise.com and Omnify provide the necessary security measures for Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance. However, with Omnify you have to pay more to get SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certification. With Exercise.com you do not pay more to keep your websites and apps secure and we also utilize Google Cloud.
Marketing Integrations
Omnify allows for marketing integrations with platforms such as Google Analytics, Pooptin, RazorPay, and Facebook Pixel.
Exercise.com provides plenty of marketing integrations that include:
- MailChimp
- ConstantContact
- ConvertKit
- Google Analytics
- Facebook Pixel

Exercise.com is the best Omnify alternative.
Workout Software
Being able to create, update, send, and track workouts and client progression can be important for your fitness business. Just as personal trainers know how important it is for a client to put work in outside of a training session, coaches would agree that putting in work outside of practice is vital to the growth of their players. Using Exercise.com software, trainers and coaches can design workouts specifically tailored to the individual’s goals.
Workout Creator/Logger
Although Omnify does promote its software as useful for fitness centers, health clubs, and yoga studios, it does not have any workout creation and delivery options. Offering services is done through a service store and there is no exercise library, workout creation features, workout delivery, workout logging, or any options to track workout progress.
This is where Exercise.com has a clear advantage with our workout software built for personal trainers. There is a large exercise library with videos, instructions, and muscles worked, with the option to add additional exercises that may not be in the library.
Clients or trainers can view or log workouts from anywhere with the mobile app. They also have the option to track attendance and view workout progress 24/7. With our software, you have the ability to create workouts for any scenario, including:
1-on-1 Training
When a trainer or coach is able to work with someone individually, there is more attention given to that person which means greater potential for growth. With our software, you can add a personal touch to your workouts and help your client or athlete reach his or her fullest potential.
Group Training
Group settings can be very motivated both on the field and in the gym. Our software allows you to create group workouts so that the participants can motivate each other and help guide each other through. The community feel of these workouts can also promote friendly competition which leads to better results.
Online Training
The future is here in the fitness industry and it comes to us in the form of online training. That does not mean that face-to-face training will ever go away, only that virtual options are here and there are people who want to take advantage of them.
Omnify’s online training centers around listing all of your classes, lessons, or workshops through a service store.
While Exercise.com allows you to provide online workouts, you’re also able to create and deliver workouts and track your client’s progress.
This portion of our platform could also be very useful for coaches. Sports teams can consist of dozens of different players, so giving individual attention can be difficult and time-consuming. With Exercise.com, coaches can make sure that the athletes get individualized training without having to commit to spending as much time in person.
Exercise Library
Exercise.com provides its users with a pre-built library of exercises and videos that can be used to create workouts for your clients. While this can be a great tool to save time and is certainly worth having as an option, there is something to be said for a more personal touch.
As an added value to your business, Exercise.com provides the opportunity to create custom videos and exercises to add to your library.
Custom Exercises
Clients and athletes feel more of a connection when they see a familiar face in a video or picture of an exercise. It is more motivating because it is still their coach or trainer giving them instructions and it adds a certain level of believability to the training method.
By uploading your own videos, you are keeping the connection strong between you and your client or player. Motivating them, in this way, will help them to reach their goals faster.
TV Workouts
Exercise demos can be cast onto television screens. Whether during workouts or meetings you are able to showcase your demos for any situation.
Gym Ecommerce Software
Selling online can be a great stream of revenue for your business. Omnify provides its clients with the ability to purchase classes, class packs, memberships, and appointments online. Users can also sell facility rentals and event tickets. Omnify does not seem to have the ability to offer a full ecommerce store that sells merchandise and supplements.
Exercise.com, however, does. Let’s read on to see how Exercise.com’s ecommerce software features can help you grow your business.
Payment Processing
Omnify allows payment via credit card, debit card, and wire transfers. They have integrations with Stripe and Paypal for ease of crediting payments to and from those platforms. Exercise.com has numerous gym ecommerce software features. We utilize Stripe and you are able to access all of your payment tools in the same custom-branded web and mobile app. Clients can pay a one-time or recurring price with cash, check, or credit card or accept direct deposits and can pay in-person or online.
Sell Products
With Exercise.com you have the ability to sell products online or in-store; something that Ominfy does not state to offer.
Sell Workout Plans
Omnify does not state to specifically allow for the selling of workout plans but says you can sell classes or classpacks. Their focus is centered on the selling of services through a service store. With their software platform’s lack of custom workout creation and delivery capability, creating workout plans would have to be done on another platform.
With Exercise.com you have the option to sell specialized or customized workout plans to anyone, anywhere. With Exercise.com’s capability for creating custom workouts that can feature your own custom-made videos, creating and selling workout plans for any of your clients can be done easily.
For example, let’s say you are a personal trainer and you have had excellent results with a golf strengthening and conditioning program that you developed locally, but you are ready to take it to the next level. Exercise.com has the option for you to sell this specialized program for anyone in the world to purchase, view, and complete on their own if they desire. If there are certain personalized workouts within the program that you want to show, you can record yourself or others demonstrating that workout and include it in your workout plan.
Offer Online Workout Memberships
Omnify allows for memberships with recurring and automatic billing. With Exercise.com you have the ability to offer and automate online workout memberships. Workouts can be sent automatically at the designated time/situation in which clients can perform these exercises at any location.
Sell Workout Challenges
With Exercise.com you are able to create and sell customized challenges that can not only attract potential customers but keep existing customers engaged.
Fitness Assessments
Assessments, reports, and nutrition are important factors when trying to improve clients’ overall fitness level and health. Our fitness assessment software allows you to manage these key areas easily and efficiently.
Assessments
Omnify has no performance assessment features built into its software. If a personal trainer or fitness professional was using Omnify for scheduling, e-commerce, and selling, they would need a separate system for performance assessment. This is one of the limiting factors of Omnify for use in fitness facilities and health clubs. However, Exercise.com has a multitude of health assessment options.
Performance & Measurement Reports
With Exercise.com, trainers can perform and record a number of performance assessments on their clients. These can include body metrics and measurements, power, strength, and endurance assessments. Trainers can then use the assessment information to plan appropriate workouts and nutrition recommendations for their clients so the entire training experience is customized to each individual.
Clients can track their assessment data over time to see progress toward their fitness goals. Clients can also write notes or information in a journal and the trainer can view and comment on their journal.
Users are also able to track assessments using graphs and charts. Trainers and health professionals can also add custom assessment information to the system, giving a tremendous amount of flexibility to meet the needs of all clients and athletes. The great news is that the performance health software is built into the all-in-one Exercise.com setup, so there is no need for additional systems or programs.
Nutrition
Omnify also does not feature nutrition tracking features. As nutrition is an important component of one’s fitness and overall health, it is important for nutritional tracking capability to be in the software you use. Exercise.com includes a nutrition tracking component that can be customized to your liking. Trainers can monitor their clients’ eating habits such as their daily intake and are able to upload meal plans, files, or pictures.
Omnify Software Pricing
There are two options for Omnify pricing – a single location or multiple locations. The single location options vary from $49 a month for the Basic package, $99 a month for the Standard package, to $249 a month for the Plus package, or $599 a month for the Pro package.
The Multi-locations plan is ideal for 10+ businesses and the Enterprise plan is ideal for 50+ locations. For either of these plans, potential customers must contact Omnify directly for a custom quote.
Omnify Alternatives
The most notable alternatives to Omnify are Exercise.com, Trainerize, Mindbody, Zen Planner, Vagaro, and Pike13.
Exercise.com, Trainerize, MindBody, ZenPlanner, and Vagaro are focused on fitness facilities and health clubs and they do include some of the workout creation, workout delivery, client engagement, and performance health assessment features that Omnify is missing. Pike13 is similar but does not have health assessment features.
The Bottom Line: Pros and Cons
Choosing the right software to run your business can mean the difference between success and failure, but it doesn’t have to be a hard choice because Exercise.com just makes everything easier.
Omnify Cons
The big features that Omnify is missing are features that many fitness business owners need: the ability to engage with clients, develop and deliver workout programs, full customization, and the use of performance health assessments within the software.
For fitness professionals, fitness facilities, and health clubs, all-in-one software like Exercise.com would be a better fit. It has all the features they need in one system, for one price. Exercise.com users get all the functions that Omnify offers. In addition, they receive workout creation and delivery options (even for virtual clients), client engagement features, performance health assessment options, and fully-customized websites and smartphone apps.
Exercise.com Pros
Customization is incredibly important when you’re looking to attract new clients and retain current clients. From building web and smartphone apps with your brand in mind to the Exercise.com fully-customizable workout plan creator, our world-class dev team has ensured that managing your business will be a breeze.
In addition to Exercise.com’s long list of benefits, we also provide users with the option to track their nutrition. Trainers can adjust caloric needs based on whether a client is currently on a training day or a rest day and can add notes; another automated feature that we are happy to provide!
Hopefully, you see the benefit of not waiting to have a system and software in place that allows you to manage and grow your business for years to come.
