If you’re reading this article, you’re probably looking for a new gymnastics management software. Or you’re at least considering it.
You may feel your current solution has let you down somehow.
Or that it has not evolved to keep up with your clubs’ changing needs.
We’ve compiled a list of the best tools for managing a gymnastics club to help you find the best one for you.
Every Gymnastics Club Software on the list has its own set of features, so we’ll focus on how they provide more than just online registrations.

DISCLAIMER: Activity Messenger is our product. We created it because we struggled for years with the shortcomings of existing Gymnastics Software and believe that most Class Management Softwares are broken.
Here’s a quick guide on the best Gymnastic Softwares you may be considering for your gym club.
We’ve included a brief demo video, direct links to the softwares website, details on pricing, key functionalities, and a link to client reviews.
While other platforms might cover the basics, Activity Messenger is designed to bring your entire gymnastics club’s operations under one umbrella, eliminating the need for multiple tools and annoying workarounds.
It includes all the features of traditional gymnastics software but goes beyond by seamlessly integrating with your favorite apps like Canva, ChatGPT, Zoom, and Stripe.
As current operators ourselves, we understand the frustration of juggling multiple tools like SurveyMonkey, MailChimp, JotForm, EventBrite, and SmartWaiver. That’s why we’ve developed features that replace them in order to meet all the operational needs of a gymnastics club.
The idea is simple: Create workflows instead of workarounds to automate those manual tasks no one has time for.
You can also take a look at Activity Messenger’s Capterra profile to see what are clients are saying about us.
(We’re proud of our 4.8-star rating an 100% likelihood to recommend.)
Many gymnastics platforms provide a combination of registration, communication, and scheduling features, with some offering additional features like email marketing, event ticketing, and progress reports. But most simply integrate with tools like Mailchimp, SurveyMonkey and Eventbrite instead of offering a full suite of features in their software.
Activity Messenger differentiates itself from traditional Gymnastics Software in 3 very specific ways.
What It Is: Activity Messenger guides your potential families to the right gymnastics class in the shortest amount of time. Based on the customer’s initial selection (day, age, type of class, level, etc.), the registration process adapts to show optimal class offerings that take into consideration on their unique needs.
Why It Matters: Most gymnastics software shows all of your class options to each web visitor. This can easily overwhelm clients especially from a smartphone and does not consider the needs and wants of the client.
Extra Perks: No one likes to create yet another online account for their family. Especially those busy parents. By eliminating the account creation process, Activity Messenger provides hassle-free registration. And don’t worry, your customers have an account (we create it on the fly) and are able to log in at any time.
What It Is: Imagine doing all of your different marketing tasks without having to switch from one tool to another. With Activity Messenger, you can send newsletters, create marketing automations, and even retarget people who abandoned their carts before completing their purchase.
Why It Matters: Think about your newsletter. Currently, you have to manually export your subscribers from your subscription software to a newsletter platform like MailChimp or ConstantContact. The process is tedious and prone to error. Plus, you have to pay for an additional tool.
Extra Perks: You can create email marketing campaigns without ever leaving Activity Messenger to create your designs using our Canva integration. An analytics dashboard gives you at-a-glance insight into your marketing efforts, conversion rates and the direct impact it has on improving your registrations.
What It Is: Task automation in Activity Messenger isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a core functional reality. Our system covers a wide range of automations designed for gymnastics, from sending reminders for unsigned waivers to marketing automation for children’s parties.
Here are just a few examples:
Why It Matters: For example, to ensure that no child attends a class, camp, free trial, or party without the proper safety protocols in place, automated reminders can be sent out for unsigned waivers based on the class list and status. This type of targeted, specific automation does more than just improve your efficiency. It also makes your gymnastics club safer and easier to operate.
Extra Perks: Automation works hand in hand with Activity Messenger’s mail merge capabilities. Customize your Gymnastics class reminder before you get a single sign-up and know that your email will be sent at the perfect time and personalized for each recipient.

When looking for a modern gymnastics management platform, there are 2 critical aspects to consider:
Customers, especially new ones, may feel intimidated by sifting through traditional client registration portals. This level of complexity can often cause potential clients to give up and abandon the process altogether. However, modern class management softwares offer a solution that mimics personalized phone assistance by fully customizing class selection based on each family’s needs.
By moving to an intuitive registration process, gymnastics clubs can help customers quickly find the classes that meet their needs, increasing the likelihood that they will convert to paying customers. And in today’s world, your software should be mobile first, not only mobile friendly.
