Iron Syllabus review
A broad martial-arts gym platform that pairs digital waivers with daily operations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Iron Syllabus is gym management software for martial-arts and class-based fitness businesses. It brings digital waivers, onboarding, under-18 guardian consent with stored signatures, member records, class booking, payments, messaging, and communications into one platform. Martial-arts gyms can also track belt and level progression, review technique videos, and manage emergency contacts and waivers. The platform is available on web, iOS, and Android, with support for small gyms, growing facilities, and multi-location chains.
Published plans show a 30-day gym trial and monthly pricing from NZD 39 for Starter. Starter supports one location, up to 30 members, QR check-in, kiosk mode, class scheduling, payment collection, and digital waivers. Pro costs NZD 69 per month for one location and unlimited members, adding priority support. Multi-Gym costs NZD 109 per month for up to five locations, unlimited members, centralised management, dedicated support, and digital waivers. Solo Athlete is a separate NZD 14.99 monthly plan with progression, training journals, plans, goals, nutrition tracking, and injury logs; its trial is 14 days.
Waivers are part of a wider operating system rather than a standalone document workflow. The combination of stored guardian signatures, member records, QR check-in, kiosk mode, attendance, bookings, and Stripe Connect payment collection makes Iron Syllabus a strong fit for gyms that want consent and front-desk processes connected to membership operations. Belt progression, technique video review, and training tools add particular value for martial-arts programmes. Gyms seeking only waiver capture may find the broader scope unnecessary, while multi-location operators can use centralised management. Choose Iron Syllabus when waivers need to sit alongside classes, members, payments, and martial-arts progression.
