Glofox is a growth platform for chains and franchises — pipelines, apps, and sales tooling. CornerDesk is a front desk for the independent gym that just needs tonight to run.
Glofox's strengths — sales pipelines, branded apps, multi-location tooling — serve gyms trying to become franchises. If you're one location and proud of it, you're carrying platform weight.
Branded member apps are great for chains with marketing teams. For an independent gym it's one more thing to support — and one more login your members ignore.
Most independent gyms don't lose members at the top of funnel — they lose them quietly, eight months in, when attendance drops and nobody notices.
Export your member list to CSV and drop it into CornerDesk — column auto-detect, duplicate flagging, plan mapping, and a full preview before anything writes. Members get their new portal by text. Done.
With something better for an independent gym: a magic SMS link that opens the member portal in a browser. Bookings, membership, card updates — nothing to install, nothing to forget the password to.
Every gym gets a public trial-booking link and drop-in checkout — no account needed for the lead. Trials land in a pipeline (booked → attended → converted) with automatic SMS reminders and follow-up nudges.
Not yet — on purpose. CornerDesk is built deep for single-location independent gyms first.
$99/mo flat per gym — unlimited members, staff, and classes, every feature included. No quotes, no per-member math.
Fifteen minutes of setup. Tomorrow morning, one screen tells you what your gym needs.
