We’re dedicated going above and beyond to provide group fitness studio owners with everything they need to run an amazing business, at a price you can afford.
You didn’t just start your group fitness studio because you love helping people reach your fitness goals—you run a group fitness studio because it’s good business! The global fitness industry brings in roughly $100 billion annually (source) and, as mentioned, boutique fitness is the fastest growing segment. A successful group fitness can generate around $36,000 in revenue per month—and that means great things for you! (source)
With all that potential, you need a fitness studio software to help get the most out of your efforts—that’s where fitDEGREE comes in. fitDEGREE is gym management software that provides group fitness studio owners with the support they need to keep their studios running at peak efficiency.

What you need is fitness studio software that works as hard for you as you do at an affordable price. You need it to be user-friendly,

Other apps can be expensive. Very expensive. Like, up to $350 per month before all the additional fees they tend to surprise you with at the end of the month. They might have some features, but then again, they probably also have about 1,000 different kinds of strange, pricey incidental charges that you don’t remember signing up for. On the other hand, some fitness scheduling apps cost $50 a month, but work about as well as an unplugged treadmill (lots of work from you). At fitDEGREE, we believe both of those situations don’t make sense.
That’s why fitDEGREE starts at $100 per month. At an upgraded $200 per month, we provide you with your own branded app, a powerful tool for building brand equity with your business. But what about those obnoxious fee structures the other guys have? We believe in keeping it simple and honest. So, with fitDEGREE, we charge 2.75% + 30 cents for card swipe or 2.9% + 30 cents for credit key (think mobile or website pay) and then $20 for chargebacks and retrievals. This way, you know exactly what you’re signing up for. No contract attorneys required.
And once you’re part of the fitFAM, you gain access to your own personal customer care representative. Yes, that’s a real, live person to help you with everything fitDEGREE. A person. Not a robot.
Social features: Social media is here to stay, and it’s only growing in importance. Like the kids say, if it’s not on the internet, does it even exist? That’s why fitDEGREE makes thriving on the internet possible. With our powerful social tools, your members can personally connect with you, talk to each other, figure out what great classes they can attend, and of course invite others to come to class. Other studio management softwares don’t offer these features, and we’re proud to provide them to you!
Central to all of this is the idea that your gym is more than just an exercise occasion; it’s a community. The more you bring your members together, the greater the strength of your brand. When your gym is more than the sum of its parts, you can bet your members will be begging for more. They’ll be bragging about their excellent experiences with your classes, and with fitDEGREE, they can post right through the app. That’s free advertising for you!

At an upgraded $200 per month, with a one-time $300 development fee, you get your own branded app. Through your branded app, your members can login directly with your schedule and won’t see any other businesses. It’s an extremely powerful way to establish your own unique brand! If your business operates in multiple locations, we’ve got you covered there, too. Schedule a demo today and ask about how you can save at this level with multiple fitSpots.
