In this comparison, we will contrast three top fitness business software platforms: Exercise.com, Vagaro, and Zen Planner. While Zen Planner and Vagaro have some strengths that might pique a manager’s interest, they do not provide the gym management software platform seen with Exercise.com.

We discuss the cost of Vagaro and the cost of Zen Planner elsewhere on the site. Additionally, you may wish to check out our articles on how to use Vagaro and how to use Zen Planner.

Let’s jump into a brief Vagaro software vs. Zen Planner software comparison and see how they stack up against the Exercise.com gym management software platform.

Online Personal Training Software: Vagaro vs. Zen Planner

Workout software is crucial to running a successful, professional fitness business. It keeps trainers productive, clients accountable, and produces better fitness results. Unfortunately, Vagaro doesn’t offer any workout software. Using Vagaro as a management software immediately sets you behind other competing gyms.

While Zen Planner does offer workout software, it doesn’t allow you to use custom exercises to promote your brand. But with the Exercise.com workout creating and logging software, you get a professional workout creator/logger that includes an exercise library and allows you to merge with your own YouTube or Vimeo accounts. Using our custom-branded app for personal trainers, trainers easily create personalized workouts and clients can perform these workouts anytime, anywhere.

Gym Ecommerce Software: Vagaro vs. Zen Planner

Ecommerce is an excellent way to expand the reach of your business to local (and global!) customers, creatively engage your current members, and grow your revenue. However, both Zen Planner and Vagaro are severely limited in their gym ecommerce options. Zen Planner only offers POS and inventory tracking, and Vagaro only offers an online store. This doesn’t compare to the countless ecommerce opportunities the Exercise.com software provides.

With Exercise.com gym ecommerce software, you can do just about anything through ecommerce. Sell single workout plans, group workout memberships, offer online workouts, workout of the day subscriptions, workout challenges, and more.

Fitness Assessment Software: Vagaro vs. Zen Planner

Neither Zen Planner nor Vagaro provides performance assessments with their software. But with Exercise.com fitness assessment software, you can easily track standard and custom measurements and assessments so clients can see their progress and trainers can adjust their program as needed. Plus, our fitness assessments are automatically sent to clients to be conveniently stored in your custom app.
