Seeing an influx of new members with the start of the year? Get them started on the right foot by ensuring they know how to properly use Zen Planner. We’ve put together key steps to help get them introduced to and using our software. Feel free to copy and paste the information below into your new member welcome packet or link to this post on your blog.
What is Zen Planner?
Zen Planner is the member management software we use at our business. Zen Planner allows you to reserve classes, log workouts, update payment information and pay bills, interact with other members and much more all in one spot.
How to Setup Your Account
If you already have a membership, ask a staff member to send your password. Your username will be your email address – so be sure to check your email for login information. If you wish to change which email you’d like to use, simply ask a staff member to edit it.
If you are new to the gym and don’t yet have a membership, you can get a login by purchasing a membership. Depending on your gym’s setup, you can purchase one online, within Kiosk Mode on the Staff App or through a staff member. Your password will be emailed to the address you provide unless you created your own password upon setup.
Important note: you must get the login information from your gym owner or manager. You cannot login through Zen Planner’s website. Signing up for a demo or free trial will not give you access to your account.
Where to Login
Online: Your gym might have a Zen Planner portal log in embedded on their website and/or Facebook business page. Ask a staff member at your gym for the URL to login to the portal. Note: be sure to login through the portal on your gym’s site, you cannot login on Zen Planner’s main website (zenplanner.com will not work). Once logged in, you can view and sign documents, pay bills, edit your profile, log workout scores and manage reservations.
Download the Member App: The easiest way to manage your Zen Planner account is through our Member App. You can download the App for free on your iOS or Android phone. Simply login to begin using it (you will only need to login your first time). Once you’re logged in, here’s everything you can do within the App:
Manage Your Account
Click the “Z” inn the top left corner to setup your profile. Here’s what you’ll need to add:
- Click on the avatar to add your best selfie
- Click “Edit” in the top right corner to add your contact information
- Add your billing information and make your first membership payment
- Check your alerts to sign important waivers and contracts before you attend your first class
Manage Your Reservations
Many classes have size limits, so be sure to reserve your spot in class early in the day. Within the Member App, click on the calendar icon in the top right. You can reserve your spot or add yourself to a waitlist (if the class is full) by clicking the star next to the time you wish to attend. If you no longer can attend a class, simply click “Cancel Reservation”.
To see how many members are reserved for the class and class limits, touch the class itself. Depending on the settings, you might be also able to see which of your friends are coming to the class!
View Workouts and Post Scores
To see a workout or post scores, click on the “Z” on the top left and select “Workouts”
Swipe back and forth to view other days’ workouts. If it says “There are no workouts to display” that simply means that either the workout hasn’t been posted for the public or it hasn’t yet been created.
To log your score for a specific day’s workout, either find the day in the workout calendar and click “+ Log Results” or touch “Library” towards the top of the screen to search for a specific item to log. To log a score for a workout that wasn’t programmed today, click “Add Custom Result” in that day’s workout or enter it through the library.
To view the leaderboard, click “Leaderboard.” Depending on your gym’s settings, you can also comment and like other members’ scores (if they make them public when they log them), so be sure to cheer your fellow members on and congratulate them after great workouts!
There it is! If you have any questions on navigating your profile, please contact a staff member at your gym or a Zen Planner representative at help@zenplanner.com or at 866-541-3570.

How do I get my photo to look like the one on this page? My posted pic is basically square and the corners of the pic don’t touch the circle. But I would be nice to be able to make it display larger and possibly fill the circle like the ones on this page do.
Hi Steve, when selecting a photo on your device (phone or tablet), you should have the ability to zoom in or out on the photo to adjust the proportions. This should help ensure the photo is circular and you’re not seeing the square edges. If you’re still having issues, please reach out to our Customer Advocate team at help@zenplanner.com and they can help you out with this.
I have my profile info there; but am not able to input my billing information.
I am a new member of Hybrid Strength and Conditioning in Fredericksburg VA. My email address was previously on the unsubscribe list and I was able to take care of that. I am attempting to input my billing info for Hybrid but the links are not there on the app.

Hi Erik! If you’re trying to pay a bill through the Member App, you’ll need to have a bill on your profile, as you can only pay past due bills here. To do this, click on the Z then click on your name/profile picture and click on Bills. If you have a past due bill, you can pay it from this screen. If it’s not past due yet, they can only view it. You can also pay bills (both current and past due) in Member Connect. The exact steps to take to pay a bill within Member Connect change based on the way your gym owner has setup their database. Our Customer Advocate team can give you exact steps on how to pay bills within your account. Please reach out to them at help@zenplanner.com or by phone at 866-541-3570.
Is it possible to have husband and wife sharing the same EMail
address, reserving separate classes with the Zen application?
It seems each person needs a separate EMail to reserve individual
classes.
Hi Greg, unfortunately each membership profile needs to have a separate email address. The owner of your gym can however link both of your profiles together under a family setup. Please send them this help article if you would like your profiles to be linked together: https://help.zenplanner.com/hc/en-us/articles/204592364–VIDEO-Managing-Families-in-Zen-Planner. Have a great day!
How does a member reset their password (if forgotten?)
I forgot my login /password. Have spent all day off and on waiting to get the reset code. My IT guy is ready to kill me as I keep having him check our spam filters as I have not gotten anything back. I can’t find a phone # to call you and when I called my box, they said to get in touch with you. I am getting off this hampster wheel and guess I won’t be using this “great” service.
Hi Jerry, here’s a help article on resetting passwords: https://help.zenplanner.com/hc/en-us/articles/203999490-Password-Reset-Login-Issues. If your member is still having issues, please have them reach out to our Customer Advocate team at 866-541-3570 or help@zenplanner.com. They’ll be able to help you figure this out. Thanks!

I’m trying to see if there is a way to show all of the workouts I have attended. I’ve entered all my reservations for the workouts into Zen Planner. Is there a way to show your history of when you’ve attended? Thanks!
Hi Lori, our Customer Success team can help you this request. Please reach out to them at help@zenplanner.com. Thanks!
How do I change gender from male to female? When I post my results, they end up under the male leaderboard and should be under the female leaderboard.

Hi,
The Zen Planner app will not load and open today. I use it regularly with no problem but today it wont open. Please advise.
Hi Ashley,
Yes, we are aware and working on the long term fix, in the mean time some folks are having success with uninstalling the app and reinstalling. Then clearing local data and try again.
How to clear your data:
Settings -> App Manager -> (Find the app and Clear Data)
Thanks,
Zen Planner
