BoxBoard review
A low-cost gym platform combining workout programming, check-ins, and optional Stripe billing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
BoxBoard combines workout programming, member management, check-ins, and optional recurring membership billing for functional-fitness gyms and coaches. Its free Basic Garage Gym plan supports up to 5 members and includes one scheduled workout, workout leaderboards, a weight calculator, max-rep graphs, and commenting. The paid RX Plan costs $25 per month and adds unlimited members, AI-powered workouts and chat, unlimited workout scheduling, class support, member check-in, and membership billing. Web access and an iOS app support gym operations and member engagement.
Billing is an optional part of the product rather than its sole focus. Gyms can create membership plans, collect recurring dues through Stripe, handle failed-card retries, and review payment, revenue, subscription, and payout dashboards. The product also supports payment reporting, refunds, membership freezes, flexible billing frequency, and CSV imports for members and gym data. Membership billing adds Stripe’s standard card-processing fee and a 2% BoxBoard transaction fee, so the $25 monthly subscription is not the full payment cost. Gyms that mainly need straightforward dues collection can keep the setup focused, while teams seeking a wider payments ecosystem may find the integration scope narrow.
BoxBoard’s strongest fit is a budget-conscious functional-fitness gym that wants billing alongside workout scheduling, score history, personal-record tracking, leaderboards, weekly recap emails, and tablet-based self-service check-in. The workout and community features give the product broader operational value than a billing-only tool. However, the free tier is intended for very small gyms, and the paid plan is the main option for unlimited members and billing. Choose BoxBoard when workout management and simple recurring payments belong in one system; consider another platform if extensive integrations or a billing-first workflow are the priority.
