Frequently asked questions
Wodify is a gym management software serving a wide range of fitness and wellness businesses, including CrossFit and functional fitness, Jiu-Jitsu, martial arts, individualized and small group training, HYROX training clubs, bootcamp and HIIT gyms, yoga and Pilates studios, and online programming.
Wodify is best suited for CrossFit affiliates and performance-focused gyms that prioritize WOD tracking and athlete performance data. Gyms outside the CrossFit ecosystem including martial arts schools, boutique studios, and general fitness facilities typically find Wodify’s feature set narrow and its app reliability inconsistent.
Zen Planner and Wodify serve many of the same business types — CrossFit affiliates, martial arts schools, and individualized training programs among them. The difference isn’t who each platform serves, it’s how reliably it delivers for them. Wodify’s member app has documented stability issues including crashes and bugs, while Zen Planner’s platform reliability is a consistent differentiator in user reviews, alongside built-in marketing tools that Wodify lacks.
Most CrossFit gyms and studios complete the switch from Wodify to Zen Planner within a few weeks. Zen Planner’s onboarding team handles member data migration, billing transfer, and staff training without interrupting your class schedule or revenue. See how our team makes switching to Zen Planner streamlined and stress-free.
Zen Planner provides a dedicated onboarding team that manages the full transition from Wodify. Support is US-based, available by phone and chat, and stays engaged through go-live.
The most common reasons are app reliability issues, payment processing problems, and a need for broader business management tools including marketing automation and retention reporting. Gyms that run both CrossFit and martial arts or other disciplines also find Zen Planner’s multi-discipline support a better long-term fit.
The best software for a martial arts school is built specifically for how martial arts schools operate, not adapted from generic gym software. That means native belt and rank tracking, family billing, trial student conversion tools, and retention reporting built around long-term student relationships. Zen Planner was founded by a martial arts school owner and has been purpose-built for this business model since 2006.
Zen Planner is built for the full arc of running a fitness business, from your first members through multi-location growth. That means workout and belt tracking, AI-powered digital marketing tools, robust reporting, and a dedicated customer success team as your business scales. Most platforms give you tools to manage what you have. Zen Planner gives you tools to grow beyond it.
Yes. Zen Planner integrates directly with SugarWOD, the WOD-logging platform used by more than 500,000 athletes across 5,000+ affiliate gyms and rated 4.8 stars on iOS — giving your athletes the reliable logging experience Wodify’s app has struggled to deliver.
