Jax review
A mobile-first rota and payroll tool for multi-site gym teams.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Jax is workforce management software for UK businesses with shift workers, including gyms and leisure centres. It brings rota building, recurring shift patterns, availability and time-off management, shift swaps, attendance tracking, timesheets, recruitment, and shift-cover tools into one system. Gym operators can schedule instructors, personal trainers, reception staff, pool teams, and cleaning teams, with mobile notifications helping staff stay informed about rota changes.
Pricing is structured around two monthly plans. Core costs £50 per month and includes team, schedule, and site management. Scale costs £100 per month and adds management across multiple jobs and sites, with no charge per additional seat. The published plans make Jax a paid product from the outset, so it suits operators budgeting for a dedicated workforce system rather than teams seeking a free scheduling tool. Its pricing is particularly relevant for gyms comparing single-site administration with broader multi-site operations.
The standout operational depth is its connection between scheduling and attendance administration. GPS-verified clock-in and clock-out, automated timesheets, and payroll export can support a more complete process than rota software focused only on shift planning. Employee-requested swaps, availability controls, push notifications, and a shift-cover supplier network address day-to-day staffing changes, while recruitment and onboarding extend the product beyond rota management. Jax is a strong fit for mobile-first gyms that need scheduling and payroll workflows together. Organisations requiring desktop platform access or support for more than 49 staff should consider a different option.
