Next Level Memberships review
A broad web platform for program-based gyms that need recurring billing and operations tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Next Level Memberships brings membership billing and day-to-day program management into one web platform. It is designed for gyms, martial arts schools, dance studios, camps, cheer programs, and sports organizations that need recurring charges, attendance tracking, scheduling, communications, and member or parent access. Gym operators get check-ins, class capacity limits, point of sale, lead pipeline management, reporting, and an AI assistant alongside billing tools.
Pricing is organized around programs. The First program plan costs $100 per program per month and includes unlimited students or members, billing, communications, a parent portal, a lead pipeline, and the AI assistant. The published Growth Plan unlocks all programs, unlimited students, unlimited locations, and full platform access. A 30-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan. This structure suits operators who can map their business to programs, while organizations with more varied requirements should examine how the program-based model fits their operations before committing.
The strongest operational case is breadth: recurring billing can run on configurable cycles, while automatic retries and dunning address declined payments. Members can update payment details through the portal, and operators can review revenue, retention, and forecasting reports. Scheduling includes capacity limits, and the POS supports retail and walk-in payments. Payment connectivity includes Stripe Connect, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH. The trade-off is focus and platform scope: it is web-only, and its published integration list does not include accounting software. Choose Next Level Memberships when billing, attendance, scheduling, payments, and program administration belong in one system; choose an alternative if native accounting connectivity is central to your workflow.
