The Gymdesk alternative for UK clubs.
Gymdesk is US-built gym management software with a strong martial arts following, priced in flat monthly tiers by active member count. OurClub works differently. There is no monthly fee, just one all-in percentage of what you process, card fees included, with every feature and the member app in the box.
You pay nothing until your club takes money.
