Every feature in Gymdesk is built around how BJJ academies actually run—from belt-and-stripe rank tracking and attendance-based promotions to kids' programs and separate GB1, GB2 and GB3 rosters.

Billing & payments

Set up recurring billing once and it runs on autopilot. No more chasing late payments or manual invoices.

Class scheduling

Build your timetable, let members book online, and manage drop-ins and class packs without the back-and-forth.

Attendance & check-in

Every class logged. Every member's count since their last promotion in one report. No stack of cards to sort.

Multi-location ready

Run one academy or five. Build your belt structure once, push it to every location, and see them all in one dashboard.

Set Up Belt Promotions Around Gracie Barra's Curriculum

Every belt and every stripe is its own rank, configured per program—so kids' degrees and adult stripes each work the way they should. Attendance since each member's last promotion rolls into one readiness report, you promote in bulk, and Promote Later builds a dated event with invitations. Walk into the gathering with the list already built.

Stop paying thousands a year in processing fees

Most gym software eats your processing fees—3–4% of every transaction, month after month. A 300-member Gracie Barra academy hands over roughly $16,000 a year. That's new mats. New equipment. Another professor. Plus, Gymdesk lets you pass processing fees to members at checkout, so you can keep your margins healthy.

One account. One card. The whole family.

Kids are a big part of the roster at most Gracie Barra academies. Instead of chasing three cards for three kids at the front desk, you process once and get them on the mats faster. Gymdesk links parent and member profiles under one household—with automatic family discounts, a single payment and receipt. For split families, no more guessing which parent to charge this month.

Migration & Support
Every gym is different. Some want to get up and running same day. Others need hands-on help moving from another platform. We built our onboarding around you—not the other way around. And once you're live, real people are here when you need them.
