Bubble Gym Management Software
Every gym owner hates their software. At $129-$400/month, Mindbody was built for chains. A Bubble alternative at $49-$129/month covers members, class booking, billing, PT management, and attendance with automatic waitlist promotion.
Every Gym Owner Hates Their Software – Here Is Why
Gym management software is notoriously expensive and poorly designed for independent gyms. Mindbody and ClubReady cost $129-$400/month and were designed for large multi-location chains. Independent gyms, CrossFit boxes, yoga studios, and boutique fitness studios need member management, class booking, payment collection, and attendance tracking without enterprise complexity. A Bubble-built gym management system at $49-$129/month wins on simplicity, price, and fit.
Member Management
Complete member profiles: contact details, membership type, start and renewal dates, emergency contact, health questionnaire (PAR-Q), and profile photo. Staff view all members; members view only their own profile.
Membership Plans & Billing
Multiple tiers (monthly unlimited, 10-class packs, day passes, annual). Stripe subscription for recurring memberships, one-time payment for class packs. Automatic suspension when payment fails. Renewal reminders 7 days before expiry.
Class Scheduling & Booking
Weekly class schedule with capacity management. Member-facing booking portal. Waitlist management when class is full. Cancellation policy enforcement. Attendance tracking against each class booking.
Personal Training
PT session booking with specific trainers, session pack tracking (10 sessions purchased, 7 remaining), session notes and progress tracking, automated rebooking reminder when pack runs low.
Check-In & Attendance
QR code or name-based check-in. Daily attendance count. Member check-in history. Identifies members not visited in 14+ days. Non-member day pass purchase at check-in via Stripe payment link.
Revenue Analytics
Monthly revenue breakdown by membership type, new member acquisition rate, churn rate, average tenure, and at-risk member count. Monthly report emailed to owner every first Monday.
Booking and Waitlist Implementation
Booking: session, member, status (Booked/Waitlisted/Cancelled/Attended), booked_at
// Book class workflow
Step 1: Only when: Member’s membership_status = Active
Step 2a: If booked_count < capacity: Create Booking status=Booked, update booked_count+1
Step 2b: If booked_count ≥ capacity: Create Booking status=Waitlisted, notify member
// When a booking is cancelled: promote next waitlisted member
On Booking cancelled:
Find first Waitlisted Booking (oldest booked_at) for this session
Update that Booking: status = Booked
Notify that member: “A spot opened in [class]!”
