Gym Management Software Built for Owners Who'd Rather Be Teaching
Founded in 2016, Gymdesk helps more than 3,000 gym owners worldwide spend less time on admin and more time on the mat. Our team is made up of martial arts students, former gym owners, and technology professionals who get it — chasing payments, going through papers, spending Sundays on billing.
Unlike legacy software, Gymdesk is simple enough to use every day—between classes, not just at your desk.
Headquartered in the USA with a global team
Gymdesk is headquartered in Austin, Texas but our team spans the globe from the United States to Japan, England and beyond. This international presence helps us better understand and support gym owners worldwide, ensuring our platform meets the needs of gym owners everywhere.
