Best gym booking apps with your gym's name (2026).
We compared 8 gym booking platforms on price, an app with your gym's name and door access, from each vendor's own pages read November 1, 2026. Our pick for a staffed gym that wants its own app included and set up for it is MeetScarlet: the app with your name is in every plan, $349 a month plus $999 setup on monthly billing, and our team publishes it under your own Apple and Google accounts. We make MeetScarlet.
Your gym's app or the vendor's app
Most gym software comes with a member app. The question is whose name is on it. On a shared app, like Zen Planner's standard app, members download the vendor's app and find your gym inside it. A branded app is listed in the App Store and Google Play under your gym's own name. Most vendors here sell the branded app as a monthly add-on; MeetScarlet includes it. The second question is the door: if members need to get in when nobody is at the desk, you need door access, which most options here offer and MeetScarlet does not.
How we compared these apps
We read each vendor's own pricing and product pages on November 1, 2026 and checked four things:
- The published price, and how it grows with members or locations
- Whether members get an app with the gym's name, on which plan and at what price
- Class booking and waitlists, and the memberships, packs and drop-ins it sells
- Check-in and door access
Prices are in US dollars as shown on the vendors' pages. We did not install or test any rival app, used no third-party prices, and left out card processing charges for every option, MeetScarlet included, except where a rival's lower price depends on its payments (PushPress's $0 plan, Gymdesk's lower prices). Wodify's pages refused automated reading, so it is not here. Trainerize says it runs alongside your membership software rather than replacing it. Glofox and Mindbody are compared in our branded booking apps guide. MeetScarlet's facts come from our own pricing and from MeetScarlet's code. Every "not found" means not found on the pages listed under "The pages we read". MeetScarlet is listed first as our pick (we make it); the others follow alphabetically.
The gym booking apps compared
MeetScarlet: our pick for staffed gyms that want the app included in the plan and set up for them
MeetScarlet is a white-label booking app from the team writing this guide, and our pick for a staffed gym that wants its own app without a separate add-on to buy. Members book classes and join waitlists in an app with your gym's name, see their membership, and check in at the desk with a pass whose code refreshes every 30 seconds. Unlimited memberships renew on their own and can carry a minimum term, day passes and packs run down as they are used, and members can buy gift cards in the app. Our team sets it up and publishes it to your own Apple and Google store accounts, so your gym is the publisher. See MeetScarlet for gyms.
Price: $349 a month, or $499 on MeetScarlet Pro (20 staff logins, text reminders for appointments, coming soon, to clients who opt in); $999 setup fee on monthly billing, waived on yearly.

Questions
Straight answers. Anything else, ask us on a demo.
What is the best booking app for a gym? #
For a staffed gym that wants its own app included and set up for it, our pick is MeetScarlet: the app with your gym's name is in every plan, from $349 a month ($999 setup on monthly billing, free on yearly), published under your own Apple and Google accounts by our team. For the lowest published cost of an app with your name, look at Zen Planner or PushPress; for door access, Gymdesk, Virtuagym, ABC Ignite, Exercise.com or Zen Planner; for coaching and video, Virtuagym or Exercise.com. We make MeetScarlet.
How much does a gym app with my gym's name cost? #
MeetScarlet includes it in $349 a month, plus $999 setup on monthly billing, free on yearly.
