Zen Planner alternative

A Zen Planner alternative built for fight gyms

Zen Planner serves every kind of fitness business. CornerDesk serves one: independent Muay Thai, boxing, BJJ, and MMA gyms — and it imports your Zen Planner roster in one upload.

Why gyms go looking

The Zen Planner trade-offs

01

Built for every fitness niche

Yoga studios, CrossFit boxes, franchise chains — you're paying for a platform designed around businesses you don't run, with the feature surface to prove it.

02

Members need an app

Another app-store download, another password, another 'I can't log in' at the door. Every barrier between a member and check-in costs you attendance data.

03

Pricing that grows with your roster

Tiered pricing means the better your gym does, the more the software costs. Success shouldn't raise your software bill.

Asked and answered

Can I import my members from Zen Planner?+

Yes — the importer is purpose-built for Zen Planner CSV exports. It detects the header row, auto-maps columns, flags duplicates by external ID, email, and name, preserves pack credits, and shows per-row warnings before you commit.

Do my members need to install an app?+

No. Members get a magic link by text message — their portal opens in a browser with their next class, booking, membership, and card-update button. Nothing to install, no passwords.

How does pricing compare?+

Zen Planner's pricing scales with your member count. CornerDesk is $99/mo flat for unlimited members, staff, and classes — month-to-month, cancel anytime.

What happens to my billing?+

You connect your own Stripe account and member payments settle directly with you — CornerDesk never holds funds. Failed payments get flagged, texted an update link, and retried on a schedule.
