We spent 1 year assessing 19 different systems before settling on Zen Planner. It’s been really effective in making sure all of our schools are on the same page and helped us out massively with our POS and retail. It’s really saved us about 10-12 hours a week per location.

Frequently Asked Questions

ClubReady is a business management software designed for studio, gym, health, and wellness clubs, with a focus on franchise and enterprise-level operations.  

Pros: 

  • Billing and payment processing features 
  • Designed for franchise and multi-location businesses 
  • Automation tools 

Cons: 

  • Complex system with a steep learning curve 
  • Limited customization 
  • Customer support can be inconsistent 
  • Limited built-in digital marketing features 

The biggest disadvantage of ClubReady is its complexity—many users find it difficult to navigate, especially for smaller studios. Additionally, the platform is heavily geared toward franchises, which may not be ideal for independent gyms or studios looking for more flexibility. 

ClubReady is used by fitness studios, boutique gyms, and franchise-based businesses that use enterprise-level management tools. 

If you manage a fitness franchise, ClubReady might be a fit. But if you want a more intuitive system that’s built to support your goals, Zen Planner offers an all-in-one CRM, marketing, and member management solution to grow your business seamlessly. 

While ClubReady is built with franchises in mind, Zen Planner is designed to empower independent gym and studio owners with flexible tools, intuitive reporting, and built-in marketing solutions. Zen Planner provides a more user-friendly experience and stronger support for small to mid-sized businesses. 

Customers tell us that Zen Planner is easier for both staff and clients to use. Our personalized support helps them achieve their goals faster. Zen Planner is also more affordable, allowing customers to invest more in growth. Plus, we offer stronger reporting, prospect management, and automation tools were highlighted by customers to streamline operations. 

ClubReady pricing is available upon request after a demo, but users share that their basic package starts at $149 per month. In comparison, Zen Planner offers a more affordable solution starting at just $99 per month, making it a better fit for growing businesses, especially when compared to ClubReady’s focus on franchise and corporate packages.
